PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?
When I was at school they reckoned that I should be in the gifted program so I ended up getting one of the first laptops. This would have been in the very early 1990s and the thing weighed as much as a small whale and was built like a brick. I absolutely used it as a weapon.
It had a grayscale backlit LCD screen. It was seriously a terrible laptop really. It had an interesting mode on it where you could transfer files from it to another computer by plugging it in via a PS2 port, and it would declare itself to be a keyboard and it would just “type” whatever you’d written (of course you lost all formatting). Bit of a useless feature these days but it would have been a godsend back in the early 2000s when transferring files was still quite difficult.
