First os was whatever was on a apple II. First linux was fedora. I spent 9 years using various red hat disteos as my main work machine.

Gaming kept me on windows at home. Now that proton let’s me game i’ve been running mint debian for over a year and loving it.

My wife uses arch btw.

Comodore 64 os in the late 80’s then msdos, win 3.1, etc. First Linux distro i believe was either slackware or debian.

Windows 1998 on a Pentium2. First linux distro was Ubuntu, uh…8.04 I think ? That was much later.

Technically (but only very technically as we basically never used them and they were obsolete at the time already) it would have been a version of Acorn MOS but realistically it was Windows 3.1.

For Linux I started with Wubi to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It installed Linux as a program in Windows and added some kind of hacky boot entry to boot into Ubuntu from your windows partition. Pretty cool, and I’m still pretty nostalgic for the GNOME 2 aesthetic with compiz effects from that time.

DOS/Win3.1 I was pretty young. It was far back enough that it was still common to find Apple II’s in my grade-school classrooms off to the side for when we had downtime. I regret that I was just a little too young to experience the Commodore 64 craze.

First OS was Windows XP and first Linux distro was Raspbian (now Raspberry Pi OS), but on my main computer the first distro I used regularly was Ubuntu

Microsoft Extended BASIC

Le menu.

First OS was C64’s Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 GEOS, if that even counts as an OS, the next was Amiga 500’s AmigaOS

First Linux distro was Fedora

First OS I remember, something in the Windows 9x range. Maybe Me. Linux distro, Ubuntu.

The first one my family owned, was Windows 95.

Not sure if the first one I used was Windows 3.x, DOS, or MacOS

First OS: Win 95 (As a wee lad). First Linux: early lubuntu and backtrack that I used in college around 08-09.

First OS was DOS, though my parents used a computer with Windows 3.1 on it before we got the dos box.

Excluding Damn Small Linux, first real Linux was Mandrake 9.2 (download edition).
