Are there any linux users here, am i asking this in wrong community ?, If yes then sorry

Anyways the first linux for me was kali linux, I was a hopeless kid who wanted to learn hacking, and as everyone thinks linux is for hackers i just did some random google search about “Best linux distro for hacking” and the result was kali linux (since parrot os was not there at the time)

I watched a tutorial on how to install it, and that’s where it got worse. We didn’t have that much data to download a 3-4GB of iso file, so i went to a nearby friend to use their wifi and downloaded it. When I was installing it I selected the partition in which we stored all our family photos and other memories ( At the time I didn’t knew much about partitions and just wanted to try out linux). As I selected the wrong partition the windows installed on that partition and the files got deleted and I got into Kali linux, it took me some time to realise what I have done, but eventually I realised that many files were missing and was not able to boot into windows. Eventually I got scolded so much from my parents, but I don’t regret it because that opened up a new world of linux for me (but with some sacrifices)

    386BSD, on a 386dx processor with 4mb ram. Compiled from 24 3.5" floppies that took 24 hours to compile. Before Linux existed.

      Technically this does not answer OP’s question, but thank you anyways. Now I don’t feel that old.
