Used to use Windows 98 SE. First introduced to Mandrake Linux around 2000. Had no Internet, got the install media from a friend of my father. Barely got it working and couldn't read English. Went back to Windows XP. Ubuntu came. Began to use it around 2008 for a few years. Back to windows briefly and then Raspberry Pi was launched. Switched to Linux permanently.
Almost went back in 2013 due to Lightroom, gaming and a few work related medical software.
Began to grasp FOSS maturely in 2014 and switched to alterbative software. When Steam launched Proton there was no turning back.
I was obsessed but it has come and gone. Now I'm a bit of a nuissance to friends sllwly switching them to alternative software. My partner gets the worst treatment. Now she uses hardware security keys, assymetric keys auth etc
where do you use asymmetrical keys for auth ?
Everywhere possible. For SSH sessions, logins on the Internet. PGP and chat apps. All the time.
