minus-square@fubolink16•edit-21 month agoCobain died in April 1994. The first Slackware Linux release was in July 1993. Debian Linux¹ 0.9 came out in January 1994; SuSE Linux launched in March 1994. So yes, Kurt could have used Linux. But he probably would have had to install it from floppies. ¹ It wasn’t called Debian GNU/Linux until later; see the 1994 revision of the Debian Linux Manifesto.
