First OS: Windows 3.1 running on top of MS-DOS 6.2
First Linux distro: Ubuntu (forgot the version, but it was circa 2018).
If I'd count an OS/Linux distro that I've used even if not in a machine I own, it'd be Linux Mint of circa 2006.

Technically it was Kali on a VM. But I had absolutely no clue what I was doing (I was 9 years old) so I gave up.
Then I tried Ubuntu to get past my parental controls. Same thing.
Eventually had success with Mint 5 years later. Never looked back.
First operating system I ever used was probably Windows XP, first Linux distro was probably either Ubuntu or Puppy Linux on an old laptop (I remember trying out the Ubuntu web demo back in like 2014.)
