New LL user, actually new to Linux :-)

New LL user just starting my journey in the Linux world.

I've been using computers since the Apple 2E and BBC at school, even had a MicroBee at home when I was a kid.
Thing is I've never really looked into how computers work or how they do what they do, more been a user of software and that's about it. I was more interested in mechanical things (bikes, cars, and trucks mostly) and making them go fast.

Fast forward to recently and I've fallen into a job at work that in some parts means I deal with computers on a deeper level using Win and Linux mostly so I've taken the step of starting to learn how things work and how to make them work. I'm certaly a noob of noobs in this regard but I'm learning everyday.

Up until about 4 months ago I didn't really know what Linux was, now I have 2 distros working, one LL 3.X on a 15yo Toshiba laptop (512Mb, 40Gb, 32bit) and another dual booting Win10/LM19.3 on a recent HP all in one desktop.

Thanks for letting me in and maybe one day I'll be able to give something back (might be along while tho ;-)  )

Welcome to Linux Lite!  Your intro is really nice.  My first work computer was an Amiga in 1987. I didn't get interested in operating systems until 2015, when I moved from Vista to LL2.2.  But I'm kinda old now and I really like to read about stuff that people like you bring to the Linux Lite community.

Hi and W3Lc0M3!

I never used an Apple 2E, was that the one with a wooden board inside? I don't remember my Apple history class , hehe!

Amiga... aaaah! I never had an Amiga 1000 but when Soundblaster came out in 1989 (Wikipedia is my friend ) is was one channel digital mono, Amiga had 4 channel stereo since 1985... It's almost a mystery why PC's became gaming machines... scratch that, DOOM! LoL
