You must be young! I did run graphical Linux 1997 as my main driver. The distribution was a black hat something, you used a rewrite tool to create a boot floppy which would boot the CD ROM later.

It came with at least three DEs, olvwm and xfce and whatnot.

Driver were never of an issue for me maybe just luck.



I used it in the late 90s as well.

It was definitely luck.
