Opensuse without knowing that it was Linux 20 years ago. Knowing was 3 years later with Mandrake.

SuSE linux 4.2 about 1994-6 ish? Fond memories of having to roll my own modelines to get crt monitors working. Used the various versions until the sell out to Novell and the controversy with Microsoft. Then a really big gap with some macs and now I’ve just started using Mint on a mini itx machine I’ve put together just for that use.

Ubuntu on an orangepi 5 when it released, now Linux Mint dual-booted to windows (haven't booted into windows for ages now) on my main rig. I'll figure out making VR work at some point I hope, it's all I really use windows for now.

Tried Redhat in the late 90s, but I really started using Linux with Mandrake, a few years later.

My first linux distro was i dunno how many years ago. Ubuntu I gave a old dell inspirion with an althlon to one of our church members at the time, no idea what happened to that laptop.

Currently I'm using linux mint due to recommendations for being easy, just recently switched from windows 11 actually.

I attempted to boot Mandrake/Mandrivia on an old laptop once and failed, then I mucked around in Slackware's live CD for an afternoon. The first thing I actually installed and used daily was Ubuntu 10.04.

[-] PopcornTin@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Several floppies of Slackware.

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

Some 10+ year old Ubuntu version probably. Before Unity so 10.04 maybe. Can't say
