Windows 98. Later the first Linux distro I tried was Mandrake Linux but I didn't really get into it until later with Crunchbang.
First OS, WinXP.
Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.
I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it's what I've stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.
Microsoft Extended BASIC
The first one my family owned, was Windows 95.
Not sure if the first one I used was Windows 3.x, DOS, or MacOS
First OS: Win 95 (As a wee lad). First Linux: early lubuntu and backtrack that I used in college around 08-09.
Le menu.
First OS was DOS, though my parents used a computer with Windows 3.1 on it before we got the dos box.
Excluding Damn Small Linux, first real Linux was Mandrake 9.2 (download edition).
First OS: I think it was Windows 98. I have then gone through XP, Vista, 7 and staying at 10 for as long as i can.
First Linux distro: Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 don't remember clearly but it certainly was before GNOME 3 and in a VM. From then i have also run Fedora, Debian and most recently Linux Mint and Pop! OS in VMs as well. Maybe one day i finally set up a dual boot...
