@amoroso My first linux! Around 2001 it was the only thing that would run on my laptop with no issues.

Definitely my first distro. My S3 graphic card was partially supported so I spent a lot of time tweaking X86Config in tty which for sure contributed to build my comfort in the terminal.

While I for sure tried many distros, my 20+ years path of daily drivers was quite straightforward
