I've not torrented in at least a decade, and I don't remember seeing magnet links inline in text like that.

Certainly don't miss those hours of waiting for an ISO to download only to find it's all corrupt, or a record label plant, or a handheld recording of a cinema screen...

> Certainly don't miss those hours of waiting

I think you mean 2 decades. I haven't waited an hour for anything to download since I used to grab bootleg concerts that were very poorly seeded in the early/mid aughts.

Some of us rural nerds are only recently coming off the dialups
Depends on how rare the linux isos you're interested in are.
