Hi, great story! I'm from Spain, and I remember something similar but in 1993, with Slackware and kernels 0.X. I think I still have Infomagic packs like yours but bought between 1993 and 1995. I remember very dearly when I compiled support for Sound Blaster in the kernel for the first time... Despite the advantages we have today in the Linux world, I often miss those times. Learning and discovery times, Gopher times (remember that until 1995 the World Wide Web did not begin its journey), BBS times, etc, etc... I miss those times, but I am also very happy with what we have today.

I usually use Vim in console for system task's. VSCode for job programming edition.
