Maybe it was just bad luck or owning a piece of non standard hardware, but in 2006 when I as a Linux newbie installed Ubuntu 6.06 the OS wouldn’t boot afterwards no matter what. Until by chance I chose LILO as a bootloader instead of grub. Not exactly a beginner friendly experience, but very enlightening one.
Am I the only one who came for the Borderlands 2 reference (DPUH)? I mean, grinding at Pyro Pete’s Bar brawls was kind of fun for a while.
