I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.

    My first Linux distro was Mandrake. I’m not exactly sure when it was, but FiveStar sounds about right, so 2003 or so. I’ve since used Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and possibly some others. I did use Windows 8.1 for a good few years, but came back to Linux when I saw where Windows was headed. Right now I’m on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, which is pretty darn good, and thinking of maybe hopping on to OpenMandriva, though not out of any real necessity. I have a PinePhone and have used Mobian and PosmarketOS on it. There’s also my first generation Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

    The way modern commercial OSs are developing, I’m extremely glad something like Linux exists. Libre software is the future.
