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

My desktop OS history:

1. Windows 98
2. Windows XP
3. Windows Vista
4. Windows 7
5. Ubuntu
6. Linux Mint
7. Antergos
8. Arch Linux
9. NixOS

I've used others, but not enough to warrant a place in the list above.

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 and Kubuntu 6.06LTS (still have the CD!)

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.

Windows 95, Knoppix and Mandrake Linux.

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.

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.

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).

my first was windows for workgroups 3.11 with msdos 6.22 back in 1994; later upgraded to windows 95.

my first linux as mandrake linux (aka mandriva) in 2002 on kernel 2. i use linux fulltime now and no longer own a windows computer.

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.

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

First OS was C64's Commodore KERNAL/BASIC 2.0 GEOS, if that even counts as an OS, the next was Amiga 500's AmigaOS

First Linux distro was Fedora

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

First OS was DOS, though my parents used a computer with Windows 3.1 on it before we got the dos box.

Excluding Damn Small Linux, first real Linux was Mandrake 9.2 (download edition).

Le menu.

Atari 800 basic.

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

Of course Ubuntu was my first Linux distribution. I didn't use it for long.

First OS windows 95 First linux distro ubuntu Currently manjaro, windows 11, macos

First social media post that's ever made me feel young! Earliest I remember was Windows 95, but I didn't do much besides play with MS Paint.

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.

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

Windows '95. My mom didn't know the concept of backwards incompatibility and got it second hand in 2001. It was hard to find something that would run on it beyond Doom.

Windows → Mint → Windows → Void → NixOS

Commodore ROM BASIC; 1980

Windows 3.11

First OS - DOS 5.0 First Linux - Knoppix

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.

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 OS for me would be Windows XP.

First Linux I've tried using could technically be whatever version of Android was on my mom's Droid phone.

First desktop Linux would be some version of Ubuntu around 2014-2015

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.

Slackware 1.0, dann S.u.S.E

Reading the comments I want to say I feel old (25y) but compared to others I feel like a gen alpha

I came late in the tech world. I started with Windows XP

And my first distro was Ubuntu 10.10 till Ubuntu 17.10. Now I just hop from distro to distro. Right now using Pop!_OS for a year now.

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

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