As someone who started with the family 386 in 1989, I have to marvel sometimes at what we have with Linux today.
In the early 90s the choice was: pay for Windows or pirate it. Linux existed (barely) but was not exactly a daily driver for a high school kid.
Now not only do we have everything an individual could possibly need but also arguably everything a small company probably needs, in an almost limitless OS, all available free of cost.
