That’s quite a trick
Linux first release = 1991
Linux first usable release = 1994
Linux first desktop release = 1998 (KDE) or 1999 (GNOME)
So using Linux for 30+ years...
Maybe a time traveler?Don't remember the details, but it let me do some unixy stuff without having to go to the university campus. I guess it depends what you wanted to use it for.
Because Linux is a Unix-like kernel/OS, but not necessarily Unix itself.
More projects based off Unix and modelled after Unix existed before Linux, and Unix is very old.
BSD is based off Unix for example, but it's separate from Linux.
macOS is based off BSD however.
I never heard of Multics, maybe too young to remember?
