Late 2020. I bought a new laptop with windows 8 installed. Needless to say it sucked and had a lot of problems, in the next day it refused to boot. Then by the power of our holy lord and savior Richard Stallman, I stumbled upon a video made by Linus Tech Tips. (Not the best place to learn about linux but we all gotta start somewhere?). And now after distro hopping twice, I settled on Manjaro.
