    DOS/Win3.1 I was pretty young. It was far back enough that it was still common to find Apple II’s in my grade-school classrooms off to the side for when we had downtime. I regret that I was just a little too young to experience the Commodore 64 craze.

    DOS. Not sure what version, I was far too young to care. But not so young I couldn’t learn how to operate a command line interface!

    my first os was windows 95, but my first linux distro must’ve been whatever version of ubuntu was current around 2007/2008.

    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.
