Simple question. Which distribution was your introduction?
For me, it was SLS Linux in '92-93, followed relatively naturally by Slackware, which was followed by Redhat.
Slackware and then SuSE 7.2, I think it was.
Slackware here, and I still use it! Tried several alternatives but I just keep going back.
Gentoo, fall 2004, first a stage 3, then a stage 1. Learned SO MUCH from doing that!
Ubuntu around 2006-2007, not sure the exact one I used.
Red hat Linux which was followed by slack sometime back in the 90s.
S.u.S.E. Linux 5.2 in 1998. Didn’t use Linux full time then, but S.u.S.E. got me acquainted with my future OS.
I’m serious arch
Mandrake Linux 6.5. At the time I was drawn to it because they had a version that worked with the sims game.
SLS in ‘94
ubuntu around 2003
Debian Sarge, now I’m in arch and been here since 2015, this install has seen 4 new machines lol
As a daily driver, Manjaro. It was a lot more stable than people would have you believe.
When I was still dual-booting with Windows, I used Ubuntu Server 14.04 for university stuff - I SSH’d into my home PC for programming classes. Needless to say, I was the stereotypical Linux dickhead (and didn’t even use Arch at the time, btw).
Redhat installed from 3.5" floppies. Don’t remember what year it was.
Linux Mint in like 2018. Now i use Debian.
OpenBSD on the Amiga in 95-96 or so.
