What's the problem here? That's how I started with Linux.

Idk seems like gatekeeping to me. Why don't they wipe their disk and install Arch like real sigma linux users?

Then get traumatized after having to wipe the entire system again because some package rendered the bootloader or the system completely useless.

Why stop there? Can you even call yourself computer literate if you can't manually flip the bits in your RAM to perform basic tasks?

I don't even think VMs were a thing when I started. I remember dual booting back to Windows to google shit to fix drivers then then back ๐Ÿ˜‚

Technically VMs are older than Windows, but it was not super accessible in the 90s and early 00s which is when I'm guessing you were doing this.

My system can barely handle windows 7. A linux VM on top of that? Fuck no

So installed mint

What's this "Google" thing you speak of? Back in my days you bought a huge book which came with a red hat or mandrake CD-ROM.
