@lecrivain_sf Après #MageiaLinux avec qui nous partegerons un stand le weekend prochain, voici qu'il est question de Debian Facile avec qui nous avons partager notre boite à lettres du 249 rue Vendôme pendant quelques temps. Ça fait plaisir de voir le travail de nos partenaires présenté avec sérieux et bienveillance.
#linuxmint et #ubuntu , qu'on nous demande beaucoup en install party, ont été chroniqués aussi.
Et tout ça sur une instance #peertube. C'est impeccable !

#MyFirstDistro was #Mandriva. This was in Christmas 2006 or 2007 when I was handed my first laptop. Although Mandriva's default desktop environment was KDE, I was using GNOME since I liked how it worked. I tried Ubuntu for half a day before switching to Mandriva.

The author Steven Brust who wrote the Firefly novel "My Own Kind of Freedom" mentioned using its predecessor, Mandrake, in his free book:

For people who care about such things, the book was written in emacs on a box running Mandrake Linux, then I used OpenOffice to format it for printing. The final layout for online publication was created with Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. People who care about such things need to get a life.

Being a big fan of Firefly at the time I thought it was pretty cool. So there began my journey in FOSS. I have Mandriva's successor, Mageia w/ KDE, on a USB I update every now and then.

And PS Mr. Brust I have a life!! :blobfoxwinkmlem:
