  • Kurumin Linux, which was a Brazilian distro based on Knoppix. This was back in 2006 or so, and that was my first hands-on experience with Linux.

    I don’t fully remember whether everything worked out of the box, I think it connected to the internet no problem (cable), but what amazed me was:

    1 - It ran off the CD drive without needing to install anything 2 - It had loads of preinstalled utility software 3 - Less than 700MB










  • Word. I often complain at work how programming and programmers seem to take “computing resources are cheap” as “USE FUCKING EVERYTHING”. There is fuckloads of bloat and web frameworks that are somehow marketed as “lightweight” despite making everything, even the development speed, worse in nearly every aspect.

    Video playback is a wholly different thing, tho, because of all the encoding/decoding that keeps file size down.
