Hi all. I am 89 years old and I have been involved with computers since 1976, starting with a remote terminal to the Birmingham(UK) university and working my way through the Sinclair ZX range, the RISCOS BBC micro. Microsoft DOS, the various stages of Windows and finally Windows 11 and Linux (mainly Mint). I have just turned to Ubuntu Studio 24.04.3 because I am also a creative content producer and I want to move away for my dependence on Microsoft products.

Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse 
We hope you enjoy the journey with Linux in general and Ubuntu Studio specifically.
Welcome! You’ve been at it even longer than I have — although I started not with a remote terminal but with card punches and gigantic printers
Welcome to the Ubuntu discourse 
I hope you enjoy your journey into the wonderful world of Linux and enjoy your time here in this nice community.
Welcome, John (@lockettpots)! … and the adventure continues …
Since you mentionned punched cards, I thought I would share this “novelty” link.

Ha ha! Yes, punch cards, Fortran, assembly language…
I’m so pleased that things have moved on. I’m not a programmer any more, but once upon a time I was.
