Not unless you're really young. I was just a Linux enthusiast and had a tight budget. I think this is the original article that inspired me: https://hackaday.com/2009/09/25/with-zipit-who-needs-a-netbook/

In college when smartphones were new had to be before 2010 and to be in college you are usually 18 ish atleast so at minimum 11 years older than me and I'm 20. Double was certainly generous but I'm drunk so it is what it is.

Out of curiosity what distro do you use these days?

Haha, well you got me there. I did all that when I was your age, in 2009 :P

These days I don't use my personal computer very often so I want a distro that doesn't break when I update it, so I use Debian Stable with XFCE.

I'm not sure what that makes it in terms of OP's meme. Maybe XFCE is the car
