   @nugget@second.demae.party I feel old for actually having used GRUB 0 and Linux 2.6 back when it was relevant.

     @Rocket@shitposter.world GRUB 0 was already out when Linux 2.4 existed. But some distros might have not used GRUB 0 yet at the time.
     
     I've used Lilo too, it was an optional bootloader on many distros all the way until the 2010s I believe.

     @SuperDicq I started on Linux 2.4. And I think the bootloader was called lilo. Grub was a major innovation.
