I tired Linux a few times in the past, but didn’t really start using seriously until 2019. I love poking around old OSs and distros, and I want to spin a few up in some VMs my next free evening.
Any suggestions? Open to any distro (or let’s be honest, DE). Any versions that holds a special place in your heart or that’s exceptionally novel? Really interested to see what’s out there!
Mandrake 6.0 was my first distro in '98-'99. Mandrake hasn't existed for a long time now; I have no idea if you can still find an old iso of it. It used KDE 1.1.1 as it's DE, and to this day, KDE has remained my preferred DE.
