I would prefer something based on Debian, like Ubuntu or PopOS, but I’m open for other suggestions as well, as I’m looking for a distro to daily-drive on my new Framework laptop.

    I started off with Slackware, and it definitely made me learn a lot.

      It’s been my daily driver since the late 90s. I’ve never really run anything else.

        Right there with you. I definitely remember when the jumped from 4 to 7 and everyone was up in arms about it.

          You actually made me question my own history. I think I started with slackware right after that version jump. So maybe my first experience with it was 99 or 00.

          I remember trying mandrake linux for a couple days based on a friend’s recommendation and not really liking it. I don’t even remember how I came to slackware. Maybe IRC or someone from a local bbs?
