Red Hat 7

Reading the comments I want to say I feel old (25y) but compared to others I feel like a gen alpha

I came late in the tech world. I started with Windows XP

And my first distro was Ubuntu 10.10 till Ubuntu 17.10. Now I just hop from distro to distro. Right now using Pop!_OS for a year now.

First OS: Windows ME (shudders)

First Linux distro: Some random one designed to run on Netbooks (Couldn't get wireless to work if I remember correctly)

Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Kubuntu -> Linux Mint -> Nobara -> Pop!_OS -> OpenSUSE TumbleWeed -> EndeavourOS

C64 -> MS-DOS 3 -> 4DOS -> Win 95 -> Win 2000 -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> chaotic smattering of various distros that changed almost weekly -> Mint -> Arch -> Manjaro -> MXLinux -> SteamOS (SteamDeck), Rasbian.

Zx spectrum --> msx-dos --> ms-dos --dr-dos --> win95 --> Suse (before it was bought by novell) --> win98 --> debian

XP. I only got into Linux about 6 months ago.

Slackware 1.0, dann S.u.S.E

Texas Instruments ROM Basic, then later PC-DOS (not MSDOS)

If you could call it an OS, ZX spectrum basic was my first. My first Linux was Slackware 6 or 7 installed from a string of floppies. Good times.

DOS -> win95 -> win98 -> debian (and i'm still here 24 years later...)

My first OS was Apple OS and what the NCR's ran in 1978. My favorite game was snipes on Netware in 1986? My first OS distribution via retail box was windows 1.0. My first Linux distribution was FreeBSD 2.0 er wait.... My first Linux distribution was Debian 1.1 buzz on 3/5" floppies.

Windows '95. My mom didn't know the concept of backwards incompatibility and got it second hand in 2001. It was hard to find something that would run on it beyond Doom.

Windows Vista 👶

MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian "unstable") for a long time.

First operating system was probably either Windows 98 or Windows 2000. First Linux operating system was Ubuntu 10.10.

First os was whatever was on a apple II. First linux was fedora. I spent 9 years using various red hat disteos as my main work machine.

Gaming kept me on windows at home. Now that proton let's me game i've been running mint debian for over a year and loving it.

My wife uses arch btw.

The first one I remember using was good old Windows 98.

First OS: MS-DOS, I reckon around v3 - was running on an IBM XT PC.

First Linux distro: Slackware, came on a CD-ROM on the front of a PC magazine.

Windows 3.11

First OS for me would be Windows XP.

First Linux I've tried using could technically be whatever version of Android was on my mom's Droid phone.

First desktop Linux would be some version of Ubuntu around 2014-2015

CP/M on a Kaypro II. My uncle was a contractor for the US air force. Even had a modem - a wooden box he built to hold a telephone handset.

Fun times.

Commodore ROM BASIC; 1980

DOS. Not sure what version, I was far too young to care. But not so young I couldn’t learn how to operate a command line interface!

Macintosh System 7. Then I moved to Windows 98, which was the style at the time.

Windows → Mint → Windows → Void → NixOS

It was a Lisa. Those were good times.

First linux distro was Ubuntu but I used it in VM but the actual daily driver was Archlinux. I think Windows XP was the first OS which i used on computer(In home sure but in school maybe it was Windows 97?)

First OS: MS-DOS 5

First Linux (many years later): Yellow Dog on one of those dome-shaped iMacs with the PPC chips

First OS was MS-DOS on a Tandy. First Linux distro was Knoppix.

First OS - DOS 5.0 First Linux - Knoppix

I had a Debian PC for a while, it was more of a project. IT work still revolved around Windows back then. Later I discovered Puppy Linux and ran that on a live USB. I encrypted the hard drive in my work laptop and never had to worry about anything making from the USB to my work data. Not a bad way to live, only had to carry around one laptop when I traveled for work.

My first OS was Windows 98.

Linux distro was Ubuntu 6.0.

Atari 800 basic.

Gentoo was the first distro I used for any significant amount of time (college).

My first OS was DOS 5.0, I switched to linux with Fedora core 6

MS-DOS 5 or 6. I guess technically I used whatever Apple IIes had, first, but really I just loaded games from disk.

C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

Whatever Commodore 64 ran, back when I was a little kid in the early 90s.

DOS 5. 286-12. first Linux was slackware in... sometime in the 90s, installed from 1.44mb floppies. took a while.

Windows 95, Knoppix and Mandrake Linux.

Knoppix 3.something

It was ages ago.
