Corel. You all are too young.
brooo. I heard about it. That distro was ahead of its time, too bad linux was not as developed as it is right now.

Slackware over here. High five
Historically, Debian.
Right now, openSUSE.
Slackware back in '05 to '09 stopped for a whIle and i just got back Into it. Currently distro hopping the BSDs and fiddling with gentoo, and Guix, trying to set up A reproducible system that doesnt use systemd and offers good wine and vm support with an Openbsd firewall/router and nas setup.

Im pretty glad I got to hear him speak in person.
Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn't go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.

Grew up in red hat- you know? Back when red hat wasn’t the enemy.
Endeavor is my flavor of the month. (Why pick one?)

Mint + xfce
Usually Chad VoidLinux because it avoids the Unix-philosphy ignoring piece of garbage systemD but now I'm trying NixOS
Knoppix in like 2006! The first one I installed was Fedora Core 4 though, my mom got disks for it and rhel in her school textbooks.
Now I use Arch on most things.
Wubuntu
Kubuntu
OpenSUSE Aeon
First boot was MKLinux. Before there were books about Linux in book stores. I had no idea how to login.
Debian 2.2 "Potato" on a stack of floppies. If one was corrupted, you had to reimage it, and hope the download was good or you'd be sitting and waiting for a while.
#!++ just to be too cool for school
Started on the 'buntu in 2005 or 2006. Distro hopped for a decade until I found Solus. That had some dark times a few years ago but seems to be back now but I moved to Debian anyway. Feels right.
Debian :)
Started out with mint back in the codec days. Now use Aurora at work , Bazzite at Home
Is that Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant?
I started with some UMSDOS-based "full X11 desktop in 5 floppies" distro on a 486, then went through Slackware, RedHat 5 with glibc breakage, actually bought a SuSE boxed set in the 7.x era, mostly stuck with Slackware unril I realized I wanted stuff like Steam and perhaps some degree of dependency resolution is nice. Bounced off of Arch (the AUR is a terrible concept IMO) and ended up on Void, which gives me Slackware-like vibes, but a little more built for broadband instead of CD images. Been trying Debian Sid latrly, just because I put it on my new laptop and I figured I'd go consistent, but I'm not sure I'm sold. Everything works, but even for an "unstable", the packages are dated and I dislike systemd on principle.

First: SUSE 9.1.
Current: Arch
Fedora on lappy 486, Nobara dual boot on compy 386.
Might pick something else for compy though. Don't really game on it with Linux since my games are Windoze only (iRacing)
Flaked NixOS unstable
I'm using Arch Linux as my daily driver, my previous distro was Void for quite a while. After Void I tried out Fedora but I hated . Right now I'm testing Guix on a virtual machine too
Qubes OS.
first distro was Linux Mint as far as I remember, but the first distro after I actually learned why linux is good was ZorinOS
Mabox.
Debian 2.x (don't remember exactly) was my first attempt. But I don't actually count that because after annoying driver troubles (networking and mouse) and having to recompile the kernel multiple times I unfortunately lost interest.
Tried again with Debian 8 on my laptop and stuck with it until I moved 100% Linux just a couple of years ago thanks to Valve/Proton.
EndeavourOS, best one I've used yet.
Very tempted to try this one. What do you like about it?
Endeavour has basically all the pros of Arch without the challenges. Most times I just want to do some gaming with minimal fuss so for me it's perfect. I can still tinker when I want to.
I think they've standardized on KDE Plasma and Wayland (though I still recommend X11 for stability) as the default but last I knew they offered current builds for almost every DE, which again just saves hassle if you prefer another.
I used Manjaro previously but it seemed too disconnected from Arch / the AUR, so it felt like a crapshoot on whether certain package versions would work or whether the Arch wiki was relevant.
I use a distro that describes perfectly my will to live - Void Linux
