  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    Corel. You all are too young.

    brooo. I heard about it. That distro was ahead of its time, too bad linux was not as developed as it is right now.

    Slackware over here. High five

    [–] Veraxus@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

    Historically, Debian.

    Right now, openSUSE.

    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.

    Grew up in red hat- you know? Back when red hat wasn’t the enemy.

    Endeavor is my flavor of the month. (Why pick one?)

    I discovered Linux with RedHat 4.2

    [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

    Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn't go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.

    [–] I_like_cats@lemmy.one 4 points 9 months ago

    Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS

    Im pretty glad I got to hear him speak in person.

    Mint + xfce

    [–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

    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.

    [–] BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

    OpenSUSE Aeon

    [–] eric5949@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

    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.

    Debian 2.2 "Potato" on a stack of floppies. If one was corrupted, you had to reimage it, and hope the download was good or you'd be sitting and waiting for a while.

    [–] some_guy 3 points 9 months ago

    First boot was MKLinux. Before there were books about Linux in book stores. I had no idea how to login.

    #!++ just to be too cool for school

    [–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

    Debian 2.x (don't remember exactly) was my first attempt. But I don't actually count that because after annoying driver troubles (networking and mouse) and having to recompile the kernel multiple times I unfortunately lost interest.

    Tried again with Debian 8 on my laptop and stuck with it until I moved 100% Linux just a couple of years ago thanks to Valve/Proton.

    Is that Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant?

    [–] captainnapalm83@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

    Fedora on lappy 486, Nobara dual boot on compy 386.

    Might pick something else for compy though. Don't really game on it with Linux since my games are Windoze only (iRacing)

    [–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    First: SUSE 9.1.

    Current: Arch

    [–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    EndeavourOS, best one I've used yet.

    [–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Very tempted to try this one. What do you like about it?

    I'm using Arch Linux as my daily driver, my previous distro was Void for quite a while. After Void I tried out Fedora but I hated . Right now I'm testing Guix on a virtual machine too

    Flaked NixOS unstable

    [–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

    first distro was Linux Mint as far as I remember, but the first distro after I actually learned why linux is good was ZorinOS

    [–] sirico@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

    Started out with mint back in the codec days. Now use Aurora at work , Bazzite at Home

    I started with some UMSDOS-based "full X11 desktop in 5 floppies" distro on a 486, then went through Slackware, RedHat 5 with glibc breakage, actually bought a SuSE boxed set in the 7.x era, mostly stuck with Slackware unril I realized I wanted stuff like Steam and perhaps some degree of dependency resolution is nice. Bounced off of Arch (the AUR is a terrible concept IMO) and ended up on Void, which gives me Slackware-like vibes, but a little more built for broadband instead of CD images. Been trying Debian Sid latrly, just because I put it on my new laptop and I figured I'd go consistent, but I'm not sure I'm sold. Everything works, but even for an "unstable", the packages are dated and I dislike systemd on principle.
