Are there any linux users here, am i asking this in wrong community ?, If yes then sorry

Anyways the first linux for me was kali linux, I was a hopeless kid who wanted to learn hacking, and as everyone thinks linux is for hackers i just did some random google search about “Best linux distro for hacking” and the result was kali linux (since parrot os was not there at the time)

I watched a tutorial on how to install it, and that’s where it got worse. We didn’t have that much data to download a 3-4GB of iso file, so i went to a nearby friend to use their wifi and downloaded it. When I was installing it I selected the partition in which we stored all our family photos and other memories ( At the time I didn’t knew much about partitions and just wanted to try out linux). As I selected the wrong partition the windows installed on that partition and the files got deleted and I got into Kali linux, it took me some time to realise what I have done, but eventually I realised that many files were missing and was not able to boot into windows. Eventually I got scolded so much from my parents, but I don’t regret it because that opened up a new world of linux for me (but with some sacrifices)

    I didn’t know about Guadalinfo! I wish the Junta kept promoting Libre software. Sadly Guadalinex is discontinued but I installed it last year in a VM out of pure nostalgia haha.

    I sometimes dream about a new Andalusian Distro… illOS.

    Btw, I created an Andalusian community here in Lemmy! Is completely empty rn, but I hope that changes in the future.

      At least at the Guadalinfo center in my hometown they still use Linux, I think it’s Linux Mint, and they keep giving free IT Courses with it.

      There’s a new Andalusian distro focused for education, seems to be used in schools, but I don’t know much about it

      Thanks for creating the community! I just followed it, will try to participate soon
