No doubt the hardest was the first one. I recall it was slackware with kernel 2.x around the late 90s. Having to recompile the kernel and configure manually the scan line freq for the monitor made it challenging. Ah yes, the man pages I printed them at work, that was all I had access to. No internet.
Last year at this event organized by a friend we were sat at the table along some radio and tv personalities, not famous, but clearly managing a step up in income than the rest.
Right from the start one of them started to show off his new Ray-Bans that recorded video. Common among rich people to brag about something expensive…
My wife asked, what are you recording? he answered without shame… “I’ve been recording everyone and nobody knew” with a grin on his face.

Hoovies Garage - He stopped finding and fixing vehicles that I can relate to, and went to supercars I couldn’t care less about.
The king of random - went from being mainly constructive to destructive. Even before Grant hired new hosts, he started to do easy break/burn/explode shit. Then he collaborated with Jake Paul and that was the stick that broke the camels back.
Very big batteries! Haha
Now really I have no idea, I gave the monitor to my dad, a ham radio enthusiast. All his stuff was tagged with similar cryptic notes, only he could understand.
