I’m new to #Lemmy and making myself feel at home by posting a bit!

My first Linux distribution was elementary OS in early March 2020. Since then, I’ve tried Manjaro, Arch Linux, Fedora, went back to Manjaro, and since early January 2023, I’ve landed on Debian as my home in the #Linux world.

What was your first Linux distro?

    Slackware in 1998 I think, from a cd that came in a book I bought while in university.

    It didn’t stick, but it demystified it and I’ve used a lot of flavours of *nix since then.

    I remember not being able to get sound to work at all on my pentium computer.

        Slackware was my first intel Linux. First linux ever was red hat for DEC alpha. Quite weird after OSF/1.

        Still use slackware, though mostly now actual work is done on debian, arch, and alpine.
