I started fairly recently (probably somewhere between nine and seven years ago; time isn’t my strong suit, cut me some slack) on Debian. Now I’m on Arch Linux.

    It was at home on my first PC. The year was 1993, and it was a Slackware distro with a kernel 0.99.12.

    Next to it I had an old Atari ST with MiNT, and it had the bigger harddisk and the nicer GUI, but the PC had more RAM and horsepower.

      Hello fellow graybeard! I, too, started back in the 90s. Internet felt like a video game, always something new, hacker culture, bleeding in from phone phreaking and with Linux hitting the market we had the FreeBSD vs GNU/Linux debates, TLDP.org and forums and BBs and so much more.

      Fun times.
