I've tested Ubuntu (before they switched to the Unity interface), played a lot around Linux Mint, including dual booting. I ultimately settled on Manjaro. I do still occasionally test out other distros with virtual machines, such as Debian, Trisquel, and Zorin.
In the beginning, i used mint, then i used arch for a while, now im chilling comfortably with a dual boot of bazzite/arch. bazzite for the gaming setup, arch for the work setup.
Void! I used arch btw for quite a while, but then decided to switch and I don't regret nothing... Except the docs, the docs aren't very good. I'm also running debian 12 on my home server, and it has been a good experience
Flaked NixOS unstable
Started with OpenSuse, then Mandrake, then looong time Debian, now back to OpenSuse TW
Started on the 'buntu in 2005 or 2006. Distro hopped for a decade until I found Solus. That had some dark times a few years ago but seems to be back now but I moved to Debian anyway. Feels right.
Knoppix in like 2006! The first one I installed was Fedora Core 4 though, my mom got disks for it and rhel in her school textbooks.
Now I use Arch on most things.
first distro was Linux Mint as far as I remember, but the first distro after I actually learned why linux is good was ZorinOS
Historically, Debian.
Right now, openSUSE.
Corel. You all are too young.
Slackware over here. High five
brooo. I heard about it. That distro was ahead of its time, too bad linux was not as developed as it is right now.

This was a great watch, thank you.
Yeah, it was good.
Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS
Qubes OS.
Ubuntu actually. I hated Ubuntu for a long time, until there was a game which only ran on Ubuntu. And now, after installing it, I'm actually pretty impressed and like it a lot. Yaru is a very good-looking theme, and the customizations Ubuntu made to stock GNOME are actually pretty logical (like adding windows buttons). It has among the best documentation and package support in the whole Linux universe. I'm a guy who likes to tinker, but for whom it is more important that the PC runs well, and I haven't encountered a single problem with Ubuntu yet - no kernel panic, no weird Bluetooth stuff, no apps which don't run for some reason,...
Everything just works. And that makes me happy. So Ubuntu it is.
My first try at linux was ubuntu 8 on a 2008 or 09 Lenovo idea pad. I left linux shortly after for windows based products for a little while for mostly pc gaming. After learning more about the current state of linux in 2022 i return to Ubuntu long term release and I'm very impressed with how well it works.
I have been tinkering with different things like large language models and a few other tools which has caused me issues with graphics drivers recently but overall it works well every time
Slackware back in '05 to '09 stopped for a whIle and i just got back Into it. Currently distro hopping the BSDs and fiddling with gentoo, and Guix, trying to set up A reproducible system that doesnt use systemd and offers good wine and vm support with an Openbsd firewall/router and nas setup.
Whoa, I used Slackware for basically that same time frame (IBM
not Lenovo
ThinkPad 600e, which was pretty ancient even at the time). Good stuff!
Gentoo for the last 20+ years. Slackware before that.
Ran something or other off dual floppy drives at some point in the ancient times... A boot diskette and a root diskette.
Debian Busta!
First boot was MKLinux. Before there were books about Linux in book stores. I had no idea how to login.
NixOS, surprised nobody mentioned it
They're too busy compiling the 15678th generation of their systems
Because no one mentioned it here: tuxedoOS! Ubuntu based, so its stable, with nice and tested KDE packages
Im pretty glad I got to hear him speak in person.
Fedora Kinoite The Future Is Now, Old Man😎
Opensuse. Screw all the haters, it just werks (except for codecs needing to be installed and some minor fiddling)
My first was SUSE followed shortly thereafter by the initial release of Fedora Core. Lots of distro hopping and tinkering later, I run LMDE these days as my daily driver and I distro hop on the other computers in my collection.
