What was your first Linux distribution?

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.

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?
I can't remember if it was MKLinux or Yellow Dog, either one of these around '97~99. At the time I was also playing with BeOS and NetBSD.

Ubuntu in the mid 2000s, but it's PopOS that made me a fulltimer ~2 years ago. I don't use it anymore but I'll always be thankful for it.

Started with Mint and stuck with that for a year. No issues, just felt comfortable enough to try something "fancier", I guess Mint was a little too reliable lol. Went with PopOS a while for the native dock and tiling manager, loved it. Now I'm on a brand new PC build and enjoying gaming with Bazzite. No tinkering involved, it setup my 5070 Ti automatically.

Slackware in 1997.
I ran it on a 486SX/40 with 32MB of RAM and a 2GB harddrive.
It turned me into the man I am today.

First attempt was Slackware, installed from a CD that came with a magazine because we didn't have the internet in about 2001 or 2002. It worked for one glorious afternoon but I'd tried to dual boot with Windows and nuked that partition. Got into big trouble and was banned from the family computer for the rest of the summer. Couldn't try again until a couple of years later when I got my very own laptop and paid my friend £5 to leave his PC on overnight downloading an ISO of dynebolic over dial up and burn it to a CD for me.
That was great but then I got my hands on a beefier PC and used Ubuntu thanks to the free CDs you could get in the mail. When I finally got a job and a broadband connection I switched to Mandriva, then Ubuntu again for a few years with most of that being Xubuntu and for like the last 10 years mostly Debian. I switched to Fedora a couple of times and tried a few others like MX Linux and Qubes. I also had a Pinebook Pro for a while running Manjaro ARM. I just always ended up going back to Debian. I can't see myself ever changing distros again.

Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 somewhere around 2000. Ran that for a year or two until the PC it was on died.
Next time I was able to run it was 2008ish on a pos dell laptop on which I installed Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). When that laptop died a year or so later I went macOS and was happy there until about 2022ish.
Now I'm running it across several machines for different purposes.
Arch dualbooting OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my tinkering laptop.
Ubuntu Server 22.04 on my server (started with 18.04)
Fedora 41 on family computers/laptops
Asahi on the last bit of Apple hardware left in the house
Raspberry Pi OS on a number of PiS serving different purposes.
