1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Fedora Core 4...? I have yet to fully take the plunge but we'll get there.

    [–] logicslayer@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

    Fedora Core, I don't remember exactly which version it was.

    [–] rurudotorg@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

    Debian Lenny in 1999.

    First must've been Caldera Linux in 1996 or 1997. Absolutely wild to compare with contemporaries at the time.

    [–] RickRussell_CA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Slackware circa 1996

    [–] Luci@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

    Fedora Core 2 :)

    I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I've kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.

    Fedora,

    I will never repeat that mistake again, it was more like Dementor.

    The first computer I had personally ran ubuntu, but counting other computers before that it could have been either ubuntu or centos that was first, I don't remember which

    Ubuntu back in 09 or so.

    Technically the first distro i used was Lubuntu 10.04, but it was only a live cd because i was 13 by then and i was terrified that i installed linux and my father got angry at me if i left any evidence. The first one i used as a full SO to use as i like, Raspbian, so debian (wheezy, i believe).

    [–] gunpachi@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago

    My first distro was ubuntu 11.04 if I remember correctly.

    [–] menzel@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

    Suse linux. I didnt know what partitioning was, so I partitioned my hard drive 6 times and messed up my bootloader. I didn't know what that was too, so I had to figure out how to do all this....with a Suse linux disk from the library.

    Later on, I discovered Wesnoth and that was an awesome game. I also played around with Ubuntu 6+, Slackware, DSL, and a host of others. Its been a fun ride. Nowdays, I like PopOS and Manjaro (steamdeck). Most anything debian.

    Opensuse without knowing that it was Linux 20 years ago. Knowing was 3 years later with Mandrake.

    [–] PopcornTin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

    Several floppies of Slackware.

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

    Some 10+ year old Ubuntu version probably. Before Unity so 10.04 maybe. Can't say
