It's FOSS
Svavar the NeurospicyMy first #Linux distro was RedHat 2 or 3 in the late '90s.
My next one will probably be #LinuxMint
weed stallmanNow that you mentioned it, I do kinda wish I still had that computer.
It's certainly bringing back a lot of good memories.
TruckStopSantaClaus@itsfoss more like 3rd distro, but close enough 💚
DistroWatch@itsfoss The distro Mint was based on didn't even exist when I started using Linux. Thanks for making me feel over the hill.
Jurkis 🇱🇹@itsfoss SuSe was my first distro.

🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🐧 🥦@itsfoss I stopped distro hopping when Linux Mint came out. Audio and other media technology just worked out of the box. No stupid defaults like 6pt fonts and the calendar starts on Monday. The default apps were apps that I would use instead of 12 different text editors.
Happy Birthday Linux Mint!
Hank G ☑️@itsfoss It wasn't my first but it is now my primary desktop distro.
Ertain@itsfoss Congrats, Linux Mint. It's been a great run.
mossman@itsfoss I thought it was older, to be honest. Thought a friend in Uni was running it, but I left uni (and the country) back in 2004. Were there betas in circulation in say 2002-2003?
U.Lancier@itsfoss can't heart. I use Linux for 25 years already starting with Suse. I switched distros some times, yes, including Mint.
Aurora Ditto@itsfoss j'adore ces couleurs ! 🎨
witrue_meaning@itsfoss My first linux distro 💚

danilasch@itsfoss Mint was my daily driver for a bit after I switched off Solus years back. I have fond memories of it - happy to see it's still popular.
Alex@itsfoss 💚 Well technically #LinuxMint wasn’t my first Linux distro (that honor belongs to Yellow Dog Linux), but it was the first the convinced me Linux could become my daily driver.

BoloMKXXVIII@itsfoss Hardly the first distro I used, but definitely the most used distro for me. If you use it regularly, please consider donating.
WG@itsfoss The first Linux distros that I used at work were Red Hat and SuSE in the late 90s & early 2000s. It was just running shell scripts on the command line, and were not the main systems that I used. At home, my first was Ubuntu 7.04 which did not work well on the laptop I had, and then Xubuntu 8.04 which was my real introduction to Linux and I used occasionally for about 2 years.
@itsfoss During 2010-2020, I tried a bunch of distros at home but didn't find any to be good enough to be a daily driver. I did use Ubuntu 10.04 on a low end laptop when watching TV, that was the only one that stuck. I tried Mint a couple of times in the middle of that period, I did NOT like that you could not upgrade it, to go to a new version you had to reformat your partition to install the new version. I am glad Mint moved past that limitation.
alatariel@itsfoss Gentoo? Anyone? K. I'll crawl back under my stone ...

@itsfoss While it wasn't my first, it was the one I picked after I tried a few.
I remember Slax 5 Live (KillBill Edition) was my first contact with linux, and Ubuntu was the first one I installed.
