What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes.

Currently on Fedora GNOME now but what about you? What made you choose your first distro diving into the world of Linux?

I wanna hear your thoughts!

    Red Hat back in the 1990s. I had to buy it from a local stationary shop because being in a small, isolated country and the internet being in it’s infancy, it was all I could find. Came with a manual bigger than a phone book and cost about the equivalent to these days $200.
