I would have a "WTF" type moment when Debian came out. I remember thinking, wow, this grew quickly in a short amount of time. But even then I was still not 100% convinced. It would not be until SUSE came out, who at the time truly worked on the GUI side of things, that I realized that Linux may indeed have a future. But the day I knew I was absolutely wrong, was when I walked into my local Wiz Store (what would become, Best Buy) and Radio Shack, with desktops selling with Mandrake Linux pre-installed and PC Magazine talking about the Linux revaluation. I truly felt like I had egg on my face that day.
🤣 That would be funny.
Young me, didn't like that at the time, you needed an already working system to compile this onto a disk, because Linux originally had no installer. Furthermore, as someone who grew up with Dos, Dr-dos, Pc-dos, and early Ms-dos, the idea of an operating system functioning solely in a terminal, seemed like a step backward when GUI was becoming mainstream. I truly thought the Os was dead on arrival, and his pet project was only ever go to be a one-off, and if it grew in any sense, something niche most folks would never hear about or use.
I clearly was wrong and did not foresee Linux's future.
