mandrake, in 2004
Knoppix
I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I've kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.
Linux Mit, im still loving cinnamon
I think my first was Red Hat but I'm not sure. Then I gave Gentoo a go shortly after.
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
I had the amazing luck of being introduced to linux at such a young age that i don't remember the distro. I just remember the penguin.
But the first time I try linux for myself it was mint, of course.
Slackware, either the first or the second release IIRC.
knoppix, then slax, then slackware, then.... Ubuntu 4.10
its been a long time
i think around 2013 i started occasionally tinkering with ubuntu,
i then quickly started distrohopping
(mint, debian, kubuntu, antergos and probably more)
in 2017 i started seriously using antergos (i3wm) on my work pc
i was still only occasionally tinkering at home,
untill 2022, when i learned about proton,
and fully migrated my private computer from win 10 to fedora(kde)
it was mine too, in 2020... bring me memories <3

Mandrake Linux. I'm old, I know 😊
There is another :D
Guys this is off topic but I'm using Ubuntu server for a jellyfin/coding server and getting headaches trying to do things cli only.. for example connecting openvpn.
My question is how much shame is there using a distro with a gui for a server
You're dead to us
I feel this comment
A GUI isn't preferable on a server mostly for one reason: Security. A lower number of packages and a smaller codebase means a lower number of things to exploit. And since WM/DE codebases are rather large and they have a lot of dependencies with them, it's really not recommended.
I will persevere then, at least it's improving my Linux skills!

rocky linux 8 on a vm (rocky is a tablet os to me)
Ubuntu Server 14.04. Years later I tried Arch+Win10 dual boot, but during a forced update, Windows ate the boot partition and then unalived itself. That's when I nuked the SSD and hard-switched to Manjaro (first daily driver, never had Windows since), later Endeavour, and most recently, Arch. If/when Arch breaks, I'll most likely hop to Nix.
Ubuntu -> Mandriva -> Zorin -> Ubuntu -> Debian
Mint -> Kubuntu -> EndeavourOS -> Arch (btw)
My first distro was Ubuntu 8.04, but my first experience with Linux was Damn Small Linux.
Funny enough, Damn Small Linux just had an update after all these years.
My first distro was ubuntu 11.04 if I remember correctly.
Kubuntu
ChromeOS (more it's Debian Container)
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Distrohopping every view Weeks
KDE Neon
NixOS
FreeBSD 3.3
Ubuntu studio 🤣🤣🤣
Debian -> Zorin -> Fedora -> Nobara
Kind of just been going down the convenience route.
why the fedora route
From my very casual view, it's just Debian but, the packages are up to date and the package manager doesn't spam the terminal. Also just been easier to use so far. Learned about Nobara not long after and that was finally enough to ditch windows.
Ubuntu -> Xubuntu -> Linux Mint XFCE
Ubuntu -> Linux Mint -> Pop!_OS -> MX linux -> EndeavourOS
Ubuntu
Ubuntu
Ubuntu, then Mint, now Arch, but I'm too inexperienced for it and want to try Kubuntu for native KDE with Plasma desktop.
Careful because kubuntu still silently installs snaps and I switched off it after having to do the whole ppa thing just to install Firefox correctly
*ubuntu (Xubuntu -> Ubuntu 10.04 -> Kubuntu 12.04) -> Debian 8 (KDE). Debian since then.
Technically the first distro i used was Lubuntu 10.04, but it was only a live cd because i was 13 by then and i was terrified that i installed linux and my father got angry at me if i left any evidence. The first one i used as a full SO to use as i like, Raspbian, so debian (wheezy, i believe).
