I got into Linux when I was still a teen in high-school, back in 93. I have always been interested in operating systems and played and learned many of them, even many from the 70s and 80s, but Linux was what I have always enjoyed the most and got deep into, contributing to projects with code, support, or just spreading the word.
Now that I am older, I run a business, so my time is more limited, but I still love to promote Linux and FOSS and help when and where I can. I have used just about every distro there is at some point, if for nothing else to just see what ideas someone come up with, yes that includes Hannah Montana Linux . My main distros have generally been either the core distros or close, Debian, Fedora, and Arch. Fedora is generally my main work system, Debian is on my servers, and Arch was my home system. However, as I have gotten older, I like the nice start that EndeavourOS gets me, which is why I am here. The more I have used it over the last month, the more I have come to appreciate it. Keeps close to Arch, but adds the nice little things that I don’t have to worry about.
Beyond that, I enjoy playing games, although I don’t get ton as much as I did when I was younger. Manly play ARPGs like Path of Exile. I also enjoy Sci-Fi movies and series.
I’m on the other side. TECHNICALLY, I’m a “Boomer.” But I was born in August 1964… 4 months before Gen X. I have little in common with the Boomer generation.
I can see what you mean with this, even some of the younger people from the same generation as me seem very different in things they do compared to what I did, I had original Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, VHS, Casette player etc as a child, and younger Gen Z had mobile games and apps and various other things growing up, they also didn’t find digging holes in the ground and stuff fun either like I did.
For me I end up finding suitable or similar people across all generations, I can usually get along with people from any of them. My parents are from the Boomer generation too (My dad is 75 for example) so some things I like such as music is mostly from him but would otherwise be less common for people from my generation to like, or at least I don’t find many. And my other siblings come from late GenX and GenY so I have exposure to some stuff from them too.

I feel old.
, I’m among the oldest of Gen Z since I was born within the first few months of Gen Z starting.
