my experience with linux began during the COVID era when i did not even own a pc.
i first found linux content on youtube and started emulating kali on a samsung j2 just to see if it was possible.
after a lot of convincing, i finally got an old desktop and started learning by breaking and fixing things.
i installed ubuntu and understood how isos, boot menus, drivers, and package managers actually work.
i moved across ubuntu, fedora, and arch-based systems and learned troubleshooting the hard way.
home lab content changed everything. i shifted from desktop tinkering to server-first thinking.
i now run headless linux, monitor services, and host things on my own hardware.
