Msdos on my family’s Commodore taught me my foundation of computer literacy. Then Q-Crack and editing the Duke Nukem 3D config file and sharing it with a friend so we could play over the modem together expanded my understanding and confidence. Linux paired with google searches/forums just seemed like a natural progression to me.

Some of us were at the point where GUIs weren’t a thing and the terminal was the only option.
