Mine was Knoppix because back in the day Libraries used to let you borrow all sorts of computer software and games and that's what they had and I was stuck on dialup lol

my friend (who was the it manager at one of my first jobs) had a fedora machine in 2007ish? and i loved using it. i only used linux for servers and websites for the longest time before i took the plunge into personal use though so my first personal distro was linux mint earlier this year.
