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?
I can’t remember if it was MKLinux or Yellow Dog, either one of these around '97~99. At the time I was also playing with BeOS and NetBSD.
forgot about Yellow Dog. I still have a BSD VM (Dragonfly) that I occasionally fire up
Forgot about BeOS (and NetBSD for that matter), and wonder what came of BeOS.

Wow, that brings back memories. Forgot about the whole Palm thing. That was a wild ride at the time.
Thank you!
It’s funny seeing all the kids distro hopping around here. I was like that once, now it’s just debian everywhere. The one and only. Stable for servers, testing on workstations, properly selected hardware couldn’t be simpler.
Back then I really liked NetBSD cause they were the only one who had a native OpenFirmware bootloader, which meant you could boot PPC macs with it without requiring a mac partition to load the extension.
Unfortunately I can’t run Debian on my M3 MacBook Air :-(
