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?
arch linux since december
I use arch btw
and I use hyprland btw
Knoppix circa 2004-2005, It was in a cd that came from chip.de. I had no clue what linux was back then. I know even less now.
XanderOS way tf back in 2005 or 2006, but mostly just messed around and had no clue what I was doing with it… After that I did a Gentoo install. Been kinda off and on with Linux since, flirting with the possibility of switching to it fully but never actually making the jump until last year when I built a new machine and put Mint on it.
slackware, from floppy circa 1996
Yellow Dog Linux ~2004 or so
Mklinux. It was the only thing you could run on one of those jank-ass PowerPC/nubus Macs.
Mine was slackware in I think 1997?
My first distro was the Asahi Linux Beta which was using Arch Linux ARM. EDIT: Now I use Void Linux
Debian 1.3, Bo - 1997
Ubuntu, before Unity and eventually Gnome desktop 🫢
Deepin in 2019 or so. Yeah don’t ask…
Ubuntu
Started in 2022 on Kubuntu, moved to Fedora in October 2022, switched back to the Fedora KDE Spin in 2023, and been there since.
Ubuntu. For Work purpose in 2020 as a development VM.
Since then i moved privately to Zorin and now to Nobara. At Work it still is Ubuntu for me, but hopefully i will soon change positions and can shelve that stuff.
Mandrake -> Whatever came on the Linux Magazine CD -> Backtrack -> Arch
