What was your first Linux Distro ? - bernard stafford - 07-08-2019
My first Linux Distro was Ubuntu 7.04 [Feisty Fawn] 04/2007.
After that it was 7.10 [Gusty Gibbon] 10/2007 when it first came out.
I have been a Linux enthusiast ever since.

My first was Knoppix but I have no idea which version. That was back in 2013. I ran it from a live cd that was in a library book about Linux. My first install was Kubuntu, off a library cd as well so no idea which version. Kubuntu convinced me to really try out replacing Windows 7 with Linux and as you said, i've been a Linux enthusiast ever since.
I proceeded to distro hop for a few months and eventually installed Linux Light 1.0.6, to an HP laptop, right after it was released. Been using Lite on at least one of my systems since.

I have not had the pleasure of using Knoppix or Kubuntu Distros.
You went to Linux Lite 1.0.6 that is impressive. That shows dedication towards this distro.
The first Linux Lite for me was 2.2 64 bit, which I still have the CD I burned.
Then as your reply distro hopping for me. Some of which were different servers mostly.
Re: What was your first Linux Distro ? - MS - 07-10-2019
My first Linüx distro to ever give a try was one of the mainline GNOME elegant Ubuntu and I disliked it, remaining with my Windows Vista at the time, instead. I was long hesitating then, after some years taken to reconsider, to eventually switch from Windows 10 - which I liked by the way and have nothing bad to say about, but having checked at least a handful of other Linüx distributions, I found hardly any of them really matching my taste. I thought that I would go UbuntuMATE, but eventually someone somewhere listed Linux Lite in a thread regarding lightweight Linux distributions. Once I saw it and tried it, it was an immediate *it*. Since then, I did not even attempt to seriously consider switching to any other distro, but like I said, if Jerry says beat it one day, I would probably go something Debian based.

Puppy linux on a USB stick for browsing and secure online banking. Serious work, tried Linux Mint from time to time, never comfortable with it. It was only when I heard about LL that I really jumped in and ditched MS. 5 years ago !
It was this forum that gave me the confidence to never look back
For which thanks.!!

I tried others, but the first distro I used as my daily driver for more than 60 days straight was LINUX LITE. Been using it since. I started with Linux Lite 2.2 or 2.4.

I used openSuse for some time before switching to Linux Lite

Mandriva in a VM cause we going to be using RHEL 5 at work...
Hopped around, Mint was probably semi most then found LL, since 2.2, which has been the only to be dedicated/installed!!

Sick of the slow-downs and interruptions of Windows XP, I didn't even know there was anything else but Apple! Put off by the price of it, I looked online for an alternative and found Linux. A "distro chooser" pointed me to Ubuntu (9.04) and it worked okay, but it was ugly. So I tried different flavors and fell in love very quickly with Xubuntu!
When PulseAudio got pushed on users and caused all kindsa problems, I hopped for awhile, and found several that I really liked: PCLinuxOS, Linux Mint, then SalixOS (very different, Slackware-based but simplified "for Lazy Slackers©") and it ran faster than anything I have used since. But it's still complicated and scary for a technophobic Ba'aku boy, so I kept hopping and ended up back on Xubuntu for the next ear and a half before I heard about Linux Lite, which I thought might bring an old hand-me-down computer back to life for a friend, and still be easy enough for a total newbie. I have had LL on at least one computer ever since. My others are Salix and MX-Linux.

So many people have used LL for so long, I'm truly impressed! #humbled
