I think the first one I installed was Debian back in '97 when I was 12. I think my dad helped a bunch, but I can’t really remember stuff from back then very well.

My initial thought was that it was gentoo which I used as my principal OS for close to ten years. I don’t know how many times I reinstalled, but enough that I basically had it by memory. Taught me to keep my home dir on a separate partition.

These days I mostly live in windows because AutoCAD is a part of my professional life, but I dual boot popos on weekends. Unless kernel updates break my displaylink docking station…

It is such a fun game. I love it too. If you are ever in Vancouver, Canada let me know. I’ll play with you

I use autodesk products and other electrical engineering industrial products that require using windows. I’m mostly happy with being able to live in the mingw environment provided by git bash. Gives me most of what I need for a POSIX environment.

To switch to Linux full time I’d need to change jobs, lol.
