IIRC, after some years of Texas Instruments TI-99/4A and ATARI 520 ST, some Apple hardware,
I tried openSUSE in 1994 (???) or 1995 (???) on IBM PC. 
I could swear to that, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Slackware. (I had/have a friend who mentored me and he had a cruel streak.) It was a long time ago in Linux-years. 
Then I did the usual distroppping—some briefly, some several years. Ended up in Arch & Arch-based over 10 years ago. Kinda stuck.

I started on open suse back in 2005 (still have the cds I burned it on) but didn’t change linux to a main os tell a few years ago.

I think our trajectories were very similar. I can’t remember exactly when I first started to use Linux, as my memory is just too imprecise these days. Suffice to say, it’s more than two decaces. I always preferred a rolling distro, and have spent the last dozen years on Arch or Arch based distro.

Just last year, in the month of August or Sept, I first installed Ubuntu MATE just to get some speed out of the old Lenovo. Then hopped to Ubuntu Budgie for just some days. Then installed Garuda, got to know about Arch. Learnt a lot about Linux in general with Garuda, and hence I have no plans to hop!

Yepp, even in my college, those who are joining linux club are trying to learn about garuda linux
and garuda is being offered among very well known distros , which are existing from a long time like arch ,ubuntu , mint … And after looking at all these stuffs, I would say well done garuda !!

There is this thing with arch where you just can’t get out of 
. I wonder if nix has the same effect.

The Arch effect: No matter how many times it breaks on you or you break it, (in death metal vocals) YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE!

Alaska (Matanuska) Thunder F*ck for daytime use. I’ve smoked the real deal overlooking Cook Inlet in Anchorage. The THC crystals sparkled in the moonlight. 
Northern Lights for an easy afternoon and evening. And because I live near where it orginated.

How can the same thing be a small size on the dockerhub and huge locally. My own image.fyi: They are all same update
I already miss the lack of toggleopacity in new hyprland
update:
So after fumbling for a few minutes, I got it to work again
bind = SUPER, o, exec, hyprctl setprop address:$(hyprctl activewindow -j | grep address | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F'"' '{for(i=2; i<=NF; i+=2) print $i}') opaque toggle
maybe there is a shorter way to do this, but I am stupid when it comes to code
damn, this used to be as simple as
bind = SUPER, o, toggleopaque
and after consulting turns out I really am stupid
hyprctl setprop active opaque toggle
cause that could have worked
SGS art for sale when ? Even if it just says SGS.
It drives me nuts that fish isn’t actually compatible with bash. Have to give up on the otherwise great shell.
zsh makes way more sense here.
Quit BASHing FISH, please.

So I’ll keep BASHing ZSH 
bash “run” script works on fish, so there’s that. Otherwise fish is for fish.
Positives are, the Starships + its themeing carries over. zsh and fish configs are close to interchangable.
