What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes.

Currently on Fedora GNOME now but what about you? What made you choose your first distro diving into the world of Linux?

I wanna hear your thoughts!

    Mint of course, then Manjaro and MXLinux. The weird stuff people recommend. Then Kubuntu, KDE Neon, Fedora KDE and now various Fedora Atomic variants.

    • mint crashed randomly
    • manjaro is very shady but was awesome, convinced me of KDE
    • MXLinux was great but horribly outdated. Will never use a “stable” distro as desktop. Nextcloud was incompatible so I needed to switch
    • Kubuntu crashed and many Ubuntu .deb apps where horrible, Flatpaks where awesome
    • KDE Neon was an unstable mess and likely still is
    • Fedora KDE was nice but also had KDE blackscreens
    • Fedora Kinoite also gave me issues but either they are hardware related, or upstream KDE issues, or upstream Kernel issues, etc.
