Whatever Commodore 64 ran, back when I was a little kid in the early 90s.

Windows 95, Knoppix and Mandrake Linux.

DOS. Not sure what version, I was far too young to care. But not so young I couldn’t learn how to operate a command line interface!

Windows 3.11

First OS: MS-DOS, I reckon around v3 - was running on an IBM XT PC.

First Linux distro: Slackware, came on a CD-ROM on the front of a PC magazine.

DOS -> win95 -> win98 -> debian (and i'm still here 24 years later...)

MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)

Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)

First hard drive Linux: Debian.

Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian "unstable") for a long time.

My first OS was Apple OS and what the NCR's ran in 1978. My favorite game was snipes on Netware in 1986? My first OS distribution via retail box was windows 1.0. My first Linux distribution was FreeBSD 2.0 er wait.... My first Linux distribution was Debian 1.1 buzz on 3/5" floppies.

If you could call it an OS, ZX spectrum basic was my first. My first Linux was Slackware 6 or 7 installed from a string of floppies. Good times.

C64 -> MS-DOS 3 -> 4DOS -> Win 95 -> Win 2000 -> Debian -> Ubuntu -> chaotic smattering of various distros that changed almost weekly -> Mint -> Arch -> Manjaro -> MXLinux -> SteamOS (SteamDeck), Rasbian.

Windows 98, Windows XP, Ubuntu 6.06, some other distros on and off, Arch Linux is the last OS I would ever need for desktop PC btw

PC-DOS on an IBM 5150 (iirc).

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. 2007. I was looking for new and exotic ways to avoid writing papers.

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 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

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.

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

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)

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

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

Atari 800 basic.

Gentoo was the first distro I used for any significant amount of time (college).

My first OS was Windows 98.

Linux distro was Ubuntu 6.0.

Windows → Mint → Windows → Void → NixOS

First OS - DOS 5.0 First Linux - Knoppix

MS DOS 2.11.

It was a Lisa. Those were good times.

Windows 98. Later the first Linux distro I tried was Mandrake Linux but I didn't really get into it until later with Crunchbang.

First linux distro was Ubuntu but I used it in VM but the actual daily driver was Archlinux. I think Windows XP was the first OS which i used on computer(In home sure but in school maybe it was Windows 97?)

Macintosh System 7. Then I moved to Windows 98, which was the style at the time.

First OS: I think it was Windows 98. I have then gone through XP, Vista, 7 and staying at 10 for as long as i can.

First Linux distro: Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 don't remember clearly but it certainly was before GNOME 3 and in a VM. From then i have also run Fedora, Debian and most recently Linux Mint and Pop! OS in VMs as well. Maybe one day i finally set up a dual boot...

CP/M on a Kaypro II. My uncle was a contractor for the US air force. Even had a modem - a wooden box he built to hold a telephone handset.

Fun times.

Commodore ROM BASIC; 1980

The first one I remember using was good old Windows 98.

First os was whatever was on a apple II. First linux was fedora. I spent 9 years using various red hat disteos as my main work machine.

Gaming kept me on windows at home. Now that proton let's me game i've been running mint debian for over a year and loving it.

My wife uses arch btw.

The first OS I recall using is Windows 7 (yes I’m young), and for Linux, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, which is what I use in the present day.

Technically (but only very technically as we basically never used them and they were obsolete at the time already) it would have been a version of Acorn MOS but realistically it was Windows 3.1.

School: if it wasn’t a Macintosh Plus it was something like it. We were given very little time with it and had to go to a special computer room to use them so I don’t remember a lot of specifics about it, beyond the school tech guy having to painstakingly load each program we wanted to use manually from a floppy

Home: Windows 3.1. I don’t think we got the internet until Windows 95, though

First operating system was probably either Windows 98 or Windows 2000. First Linux operating system was Ubuntu 10.10.

Microsoft Extended BASIC

Le menu.

The first one my family owned, was Windows 95.

Not sure if the first one I used was Windows 3.x, DOS, or MacOS
