In the spirit of #myfirstdistro
A long time ago I had a physical Ubuntu CD that I tried out on a laptop I had back in the days. For the life of me I can't remember when that was (Around 2005 I think).
After that, I tried Suse also from a CD.
None of these lasted long at all - changed back to XP quickly.
The real fun began in 2009. I got a ThinkPad on which I installed Fedora. I was not really that impressed with it all (Was a total Linux newbiet at that point).
Through a forum post I encountered Arch Linux - which massivly fascinated me...
Long story short: Installed it back when it had the AIF... and I was hooked. 😎
Technically, the first distro that I really got into was Arch.
That very much stayed the same till this very day (Still use and love it).
In the same year, 2009, I also found Debian which is, next to BSD and Arch, my big love.
In 2009 I discovered OpenBSD (OpenBSD 4.5 - "Games") and later that year FreeBSD came into the mix. (Slackware was discovered by me around the same year)
I still use and run Windows as well. But my long lasting passion for FOSS has me mostly running Linux/BSD. 😀
That is pretty much my story in a nutshell 🙂
