Was that in 2000? My own vague memory was that Linux started picking up some steam in the early 2000’s and then branched out to a new audience shortly after Firefox and Ubuntu hit the scene around 2004, and actually saw some adoption when Windows XP’s poor security and Windows Vista’s poor hardware support started breaking things.

So depending on the year, you could both be right.

Plus domains should’ve gone left to right in terms of root, tld, domain, subdomain, etc., instead of right to left.

Sorry best I can do is a programmable turtle that moves around as a pen.
