Contrast to circa 1997, and I got dual boot and mounting my windows drive figured out. Hadn’t found out about non-root users yet.

I asked in EFnet #linux about how to start x. The answer I was given was rm -rf /. I said Thanks and rebooted to Linux.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is not the correct answer. The correct answer was startx. The answer I was given fucked both my Linux and my windows drives.
