I’m new to #Lemmy and making myself feel at home by posting a bit!
My first Linux distribution was elementary OS in early March 2020. Since then, I’ve tried Manjaro, Arch Linux, Fedora, went back to Manjaro, and since early January 2023, I’ve landed on Debian as my home in the #Linux world.
What was your first Linux distro?

Slackware in 1996(?), then SuSE when they came up.
I then tried a bit every once in a while, but really never got fully comfortable with it on a desktop.
A few weeks ago I bought a new Desktop PC, which is now running with the Arch-fork #endeavouros and I really love it.Red Hat, back when that was a distro. It was a long time ago now and my toying with it didn’t last long; and began an obsession with hardware RAID…
genderfluid fetch spotted!!! also im not sure which was first but i use arch and openbsd ;3
Ye, gender-fluid human living life over here! 😁 ❤️
Mandrake! It was a fucking disaster! Fortunately, I came back later using Kubuntu and had a much better experience.
Slackware back in '96 when It was the only option. Then tried everything else before settling on Mint and never having to worry about picking another distribution again.
OpenSuSE that came with the Linux magazine
Zorin OS because they said it was windows like
My first linux was Ubuntu 10.04. And I swapped to Arch only when Ubuntu added snap.
My first was Ubuntu 06.06, but I was only messing around using a live CD. I tried it again with Ubuntu 12.04 when Steam added Linux support, but went back to Windows because gaming on Linux wasn’t really there.
Finally decided to dual boot and distro hopped a bit in 2015 between Mint, Kubuntu, then KDE Neon for a bit before settling on Manjaro some time in 2017. Eventually I switched to Arch in 2022 after Manjaro forgot to renew their certs again.
Kali Linux. Because I was a kid who wanted to be a hackerman.
❤️ Ah yes, the hacker-man vibes!
After that I used Ubuntu with XFCE for 2 years, Now settled in Fedora with Gnome for like 4 years straight.
Watching something compiling is kinda like the reward for getting it to compile in the first place…
My monitor is visible to a public footpath and I honestly am waiting for the day that I get a knock on the door from the cops because Jo Public saw me do a system update
sudo pacman -Syu 💀
Knoppix on live cd which I installed later on hdd but a few days later switched to Mandrake, I think it was… 2001? Good times, good times. There has been a lot of distrohopping since then.
Dreamlinux :) 2.2 maybe.
I guess technically, Raspbian.
my first ‘distro’ was slackware, on floppy disks. then debian or a flavour of, mainly, ever since. i’ve never really strayed too far from debian and apt over the years but i have tried most everything.
Yellow Dog in early 2000s, and I think I switched to Debian PPC not long after. My memory of back then is quite hazy. A way while after that I had an Eee PC which I think I put Ubuntu on initially (the desktop was dog slow) and then changed over to LMDE. Have a feeling I had something else on it before Ubuntu… may have been the default Eee distribution, which I forget the name of (think it began with an X).
