(Linux users !) What was the first Linux distro that you used ?
Are there any linux users here, am i asking this in wrong community ?, If yes then sorry
Anyways the first linux for me was kali linux, I was a hopeless kid who wanted to learn hacking, and as everyone thinks linux is for hackers i just did some random google search about "Best linux distro for hacking" and the result was kali linux (since parrot os was not there at the time)
I watched a tutorial on how to install it, and that's where it got worse. We didn't have that much data to download a 3-4GB of iso file, so i went to a nearby friend to use their wifi and downloaded it. When I was installing it I selected the partition in which we stored all our family photos and other memories ( At the time I didn't knew much about partitions and just wanted to try out linux). As I selected the wrong partition the windows installed on that partition and the files got deleted and I got into Kali linux, it took me some time to realise what I have done, but eventually I realised that many files were missing and was not able to boot into windows. Eventually I got scolded so much from my parents, but I don't regret it because that opened up a new world of linux for me (but with some sacrifices)
You're viewing a single thread.
The first distro I used was Guadalinex, a distro developed by my Government (Andalusia, Spain) for education. I used it at school.
The first distro I installed was Ubuntu.
The first distro I daily drived was Fedora.
Hey, A fellow andalusian :) Guadalinex was my 2nd distro to try, computers at high school had it installed and we got install CDs to try it at home.
They also did courses at the Guadalinfo centers in rural towns, my grandpa actually learned to use a computer there so I installed Guadalinex in an desk PC and gave it to him.
I didn't know about Guadalinfo! I wish the Junta kept promoting Libre software. Sadly Guadalinex is discontinued but I installed it last year in a VM out of pure nostalgia haha.
I sometimes dream about a new Andalusian Distro... illOS.
Btw, I created an Andalusian community here in Lemmy! Is completely empty rn, but I hope that changes in the future.
At least at the Guadalinfo center in my hometown they still use Linux, I think it's Linux Mint, and they keep giving free IT Courses with it.
There's a new Andalusian distro focused for education, seems to be used in schools, but I don't know much about it
Thanks for creating the community! I just followed it, will try to participate soon
