My Personal Computing History | Part I: The Windows Era (1995 – 2009)
retropunk.substack.com
Earlier this week I was perusing Locals when something caught my eye. It was a post from a user named Greg Gauthier listing each operating system he’s used over the years going back to the early 1990’s. The list included his daily drivers as well as the ones he was experimenting with at the time, and it got me thinking why not compile a list of my own. It took about twenty minutes or so to recall them all and to put them down on a list, but in doing so I noticed a few trends that I’d never really considered before. So I figured this could be a fun little post revisiting my own personal computing history, and an invitation for you to share yours as well! Below is a screenshot of my list which includes my daily driver, any alternative systems I was using at the time, and experimental systems that I was testing out.
