Red Hat 7

apple2c, commadore64

Desktop: DOS

Mobile: Android 2.3

my first was windows for workgroups 3.11 with msdos 6.22 back in 1994; later upgraded to windows 95.

my first linux as mandrake linux (aka mandriva) in 2002 on kernel 2. i use linux fulltime now and no longer own a windows computer.

First operating system was DOS 4 or 5, I think. On big 5.25” floppy disks on an 8088. Unless we’re counting whatever was running on a commodore vic20.

My first Linux distribution was Red hat Linux, somewhere around 1997, 1998 and I had a really tough time getting it installed.

I also once had a trial version of os/2 warp. Which was fun but pointless.

First Linux: tails First os: XP

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

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

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

mint->chromeOs->kali->windows->arch->openbsd->arch->nix

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.

Windows vista

Was the worst

Then xp, 7, 10

Then I saw teachings of Prophet Stallman

Switched to manjaro (too buggy), pop OS (good) finally a fedora user (the penguin guide me)

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

Whatever an Apple IIe ran. Some sort of DOS from what I remember.

MS-DOS 5.0
