A sincere thank you to Ubuntu from someone who didn't study anything remotely close to IT but is now a software engineer anyway.
I've always been interested in software and computers in general and, besides with the raspberry pi, I think Ubuntu has been the biggest influence on my interest in software and decision to learn programming.
Asking why my PC wouldn't boot after 14 year old me stuck some components, including the HDD, in another pc. Turned out you needed something called 'drivers' to run a motherboard.
Shortly after this I ordered my first red Ubuntu live CD that you guys shipped and that was my first experience with Linux.
Anyway, open source projects that allow you to thinker with software and even break it played an important role in my life, and Ubuntu was my doorway to a decade of learning, playing and wonder about software and technology.
Running 1604 LTS now. Sad that you guys are dropping Unity for GNome but still happy with Ubuntu. I'm sure it'll work out.

A few months back I looked up my first ever forum post. https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_message/28824598#2...
