Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?
Where, and when, did you start using Linux? Where are you now?
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.

In 1993, a guy I knew had a Linux server running in his dorm room. I think it was a 0.9x kernel. He dialed into the University network and I was able to telnet in through my own dial up connection to the University. He was running Slackware.
Within a couple months, I downloaded all 30+ 1.44 diskette images and built my own Slackware server. In that time I used Slackware and Red Hat (which then became Fedora before RHEL became a thing). Now I've pretty much settled on Debian for servers and Arch for desktop/laptop systems.
Yep. Came across it in college in 94. Early slack as well. Went through the rite of passage of installing over the pre existing OS accidentally. Bye bye windows 3.11 lol. But got it all figured out and learned a lot in the process. Distro hopped a lot over the years but eventually settled on Debian on my servers and arch distros for my workstations.
