Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.
I was limited to Commodore 64 at home through much of childhood, and windows 95 at school. My first personal machine was Windows ME, then first Linux was Kubuntu 5.10. Actually, probably technically Knoppix was my first Linux, but I was just experimenting.

First Linux distro was Debian.

my first was windows for workgroups 3.11 with msdos 6.22 back in 1994; later upgraded to windows 95.
my first linux as mandrake linux (aka mandriva) in 2002 on kernel 2. i use linux fulltime now and no longer own a windows computer.
First operating system was DOS 4 or 5, I think. On big 5.25” floppy disks on an 8088. Unless we’re counting whatever was running on a commodore vic20.
My first Linux distribution was Red hat Linux, somewhere around 1997, 1998 and I had a really tough time getting it installed.
I also once had a trial version of os/2 warp. Which was fun but pointless.
There’s a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.
