This grand Linux experiment I am running is testing to see just how good the experience is for a newcomer.

I was writing about Linux in the late 90s for a living and I've used it of and on in the intervening 27 or so years.

I know what I'm doing.

But approaching this like someone who has just left windows and has listened to the just switch crowd, the experience is a nightmare.

I'm simply trying to install a retro computer emulator.

It shouldn't be this stupid. 1/2
