My first Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.04 that I got from a free magazine cd from my university.
First operating system was probably either Windows 98 or Windows 2000. First Linux operating system was Ubuntu 10.10.
The first one I remember using was good old Windows 98.
The first OS I recall using is Windows 7 (yes Iβm young), and for Linux, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, which is what I use in the present day.
Amiga back when you booted off floppies.
Then I guess ms-dos for pc.
For Linux I got a box set for redhat from compusa in 99 and learned from there.
First OS was DOS (I think) on an Apple IIE at school. I think there were a few Commodore 64βs there as well. A couple years later we got our first home computer running Windows 95. Good times playing Doom, Janeβs Apache, an MS Flight Simulator.
My first personal computer was running Windows XP and I switched to Ubuntu sometime in 2004. Ran Ubuntu for the most part till a few months ago when I switched my desktop and laptop to NixOS.
Started self hosting services in 2012 and started with Ubuntu as base OS. Now though most of my servers are Proxmox with the VMs usually running Ubuntu LTS, though NixOS is starting to creep in there as well.
