    It’s almost 20 years since the Fedora Project started, and I started with Red Hat just before that happened.

      I’m pretty sure Red Hat was my first go around too, having picked up one of those Linux Bible-type books that included a CD insert.

        Redhat was my first Linux experience more than two decades ago now. I had to buy it from a bricks and mortar store since the internet was still in it’s infancy (at least in my country). It cost $110 back in the day (about $170 nowadays) and came with a thick arse ye olde phone book style manual 😅 Sadly, there just wasn’t the compatibility with Windows software there that I needed for interacting with Windows users so it didn’t last long. Picked up Linux again about 10 years ago (distro hopping till I settled on Arch) and haven’t looked back. It’s amazing to see how far Linux has come just in the last few years, especially with gaming.

          I had a similar story, except it was RH 5.x. I’ve been a faithful ubuntu user, but am seriously thinking of hopping to fedora considering how snappy it is (yet still delivering a fiction free experience).

          Here’s to many more years in Linux 🍻
