I didnt have access to good internet, this was back in the pretty early dial-up era in the 90s. I bought “Corel Linux” on disc(s) from Costco. It wasn’t particularly great, but I definitely learned a lot about getting linux to play nice with hardware!
I certainly can understand that. My issue isnt with the overall functionality though, but the absurd waste of empty space. “Old reddit” was far more useful and information dense. I would suggest kbin’s default or at least an option be done similarly where way more articles can be seen in a single “screen” without scrolling.
