    Mac OS 7. By the mid-2000s, I adopted Arch Linux after looking into some other Linux distributions.

    Amiga back when you booted off floppies.

    Then I guess ms-dos for pc.

    For Linux I got a box set for redhat from compusa in 99 and learned from there.

    In high school I got my hands on an old Sun workstation with Solaris, and eventually after a week or so of compiling switched to Gentoo

    DOS and Windows 95. First linux distro was Ubuntu in the mid-2000s when I got a used netbook that I wasn’t aware had linux instead of Windows on it.

    First OS was MS-DOS on a Tandy. First Linux distro was Knoppix.

    Technically (but only very technically as we basically never used them and they were obsolete at the time already) it would have been a version of Acorn MOS but realistically it was Windows 3.1.

    Technically it was Kali on a VM. But I had absolutely no clue what I was doing (I was 9 years old) so I gave up.

    Then I tried Ubuntu to get past my parental controls. Same thing.

    Eventually had success with Mint 5 years later. Never looked back.
