I think they are counting from first grade, their way of saying that is technically correct but a bit weird. Cleaner way would be to just say schooling minus kindergarten and college, less ambiguity and weirdness.
I found an Ubuntu 12.10 DVD on one of my spindles the other day and spun it up and oh my god how the memories came flooding back. I kinda loved Unity at the time. I mean, I'm not giving up Plasma for it, but I thought Unity was so refreshing coming off of Windows 7/8.
The more modern form of modding with Forge had really matured by that point and people were testing the boundaries of what they could create with modpacks.
The following year saw the release of 1.7.10 as well as the acquisition by Microsoft and rounded off what was generally considered the golden age of modded Minecraft.
Its somewhat the same today. Its just packaged wine, into proton. Valve pays for Proton a.k.a Wine releases. TLDR: Steam didnt make Linux gaming viable. Wine did, Steam just made it more mainstream and easier to implement.

That's some good nostalgia, thanks

2013 is nostalgic now? 🥹
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de · 22 pts · 218d
Why would things from 12 years ago not be nostalgic?!

Because 12 years is barely even enough time to graduate high school?

How long were you in high school for?

Certainly is for Minecraft.

The HTC Sense flip clock ❤️
Lojcs@piefed.social · 6 pts · 218d
Couldn't find anything on a cursory search, how do you even install that? Looks so much more real than the clones on play store

The last real HTC Sense flip clock was made for android 4.4 (2013) You're only gonna find clones sadly.

That HTC weather widget. Oof.

Hah, back when PlayOnLinux was the "easy" way to run windows software.
The ready made scripts almost never worked. But it was a good effort that paved the way for Lutris
zewm@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 217d
I never used the scripts, I used to use it as a front end to make my own prefixes. I loved the interface and ease of settings.

From the time we used Wine instead of Proton :)

They also created a market incentive for devs to at least consider compatiblity with the program due to the steam deck.

And we used PlayOnLinux to install Windows games using CDs and DVDs
GreenMinusBlue@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 217d
Haha used the PlayOnLinux GUI like total noobs, remember those days clearly lol

Using Linux before it was cool!

Did You see the reboot of HoN?
LiveLM@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 217d
Ah, I miss Unity
victorz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 217d
Really. I moved away from Ubuntu when they forced Unity on us. 😅
flameleaf@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 217d
Slow and very unstable in the early days compared to GNOME2, but I still loved the look of it
BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 217d
Ah another planeshift enjoyer!
Willdrick@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 218d
With all those conky widgets I bet I could middle click on that desktop and drag the mouse to flip the desktop cube!
ayyy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 217d
Lmao I love how widgets totally flopped and now have made a huge comeback on mobile.

I wish I also had screenshots of my desktops from back in the days. It would reflect my own evolution.

Steam's native Linux client first released in 2012, granted, there weren't a lot of compatible games at that point
