Opensuse without knowing that it was Linux 20 years ago. Knowing was 3 years later with Mandrake.
My first distro was ubuntu 11.04 if I remember correctly.
Fedora Core 2 :)
manjaro
Fedora,
I will never repeat that mistake again, it was more like Dementor.

Ubuntu 12 or 14 on a hdd
Fedora Core 6 is when I made the full switch.
Tried Redhat in the late 90s, but I really started using Linux with Mandrake, a few years later.
I found a distro that would install on the windows file system and boot. Apparently it was slackware based didn't have a concept in my head of package managers couldn't figure out how to install gaim (now pidgin) gave up. Didn't go back for another 4 years doing C in college. Didn't look back from there.
Red Hat 5.1 CD from a magazine. Ended up at fedora and couldn't be happier.
Slackware, circa 1995. Kernel 1.2.8
fedora π
Redhat 5.2 on cd. I learned a lot about compiling kernels as it didnβt support scsi emulation which was required for an ide cd burner. I think I ended up on Mandrake for a while before bouncing around including LFS. Then gentoo for many many years. And Iβve come full circle and been back on fedora for about 10 years now.
Elementary OS 6 Years ago
is he forcing her to look at the screen?
No, she imagines how an actor whom she asked to say vulgar words on a dictaphone strokes her head, in reality she strokes her head with her hand, which the actor was holding
RedHat 5.2 in 1998. The manual that came with the box set was amazing.

I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I've kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.
open suse (or was it mandrake? idk) around 2006. I remember trying it, and thinking "wow. This is trash" and then sticking with windows for 10 more years until giving ubuntu a try (and sticking to it). I tried other non-debian linuxes since then, but they all gave me that "wow, trash"-kind of feeling
Ubuntu. Still going strong 5 years laterβ€οΈ.
Nobara, yea I switched less than a year ago
tailsOS. made me love GNOME, even though I use i3 now.
Mine was lubuntu that I booted off USB on school computers
Ubuntu on an orangepi 5 when it released, now Linux Mint dual-booted to windows (haven't booted into windows for ages now) on my main rig. I'll figure out making VR work at some point I hope, it's all I really use windows for now.
Some 10+ year old Ubuntu version probably. Before Unity so 10.04 maybe. Can't say
MkLinux around 1997, but mostly NetBSD back then.
Started with Raspbian when I first got my Pi, and have mostly used KUbuntu or Debian since.
Suse linux. I didnt know what partitioning was, so I partitioned my hard drive 6 times and messed up my bootloader. I didn't know what that was too, so I had to figure out how to do all this....with a Suse linux disk from the library.
Later on, I discovered Wesnoth and that was an awesome game. I also played around with Ubuntu 6+, Slackware, DSL, and a host of others. Its been a fun ride. Nowdays, I like PopOS and Manjaro (steamdeck). Most anything debian.
Linux Mint 20 (MATE).
Almost Arch or Gentoo due to trolls.
I'd also like to mention that was when I got my first computer and I first had to figure out what's an OS.
I got it used, and it already had ~~Windows~~ free DVD burner pre-installed. I didn't have any flash drive, why would I anyway? I just managed to dig out one single DVD-RW.
KDE Neon, since it was just basic Debian it was pretty good
OpenSUSE back in the early 2000s. Since my parents got a new PC and the old one from '99 wasnt able to run Windows XP properly
I tried to have a go at ubuntu but my hardware was pretty crap and it didn't work, I can't remember my first one that worked but it was probably debian or alpine or something
Fedora Core 4...? I have yet to fully take the plunge but we'll get there.
Slackware circa 1996
Several floppies of Slackware.
The first computer I had personally ran ubuntu, but counting other computers before that it could have been either ubuntu or centos that was first, I don't remember which
