    jesus I feel old, and I am only in my 30s. I remember not having apt. How young are linux users nowadays?

    Well… how old were you when you got your first computer? That young.

      Dicey proposition, some mid and older genX grew up before home computers were commonplace.

      When I was in my tweens, only really affluent people had computers. Schools had one single computer in a classroom or maybe a couple in a lab, and almost no one was computer literate.

        I meant that in the sense of “At least that young”. Yes naturally the age of first contact gets lower as computers become more commonplace. Then again I think true desktop computers are very much on the downturn once more.
