My first encounter with Linux was in 2008-9 when my dad bought a secondhand PC that came with PCLinuxOS. We mostly used it to play SuperTuxKart at the time.
Then a friend showed me Ubuntu (must have been 10.04 or something like that) when we started a website project together
I tried using Mint in college and ended up using it full-time by the end of the year. Then had a brief period of using Ubuntu (drive issues with Mint) before heading back to Windows when I bought a new PC for university.
I’ve been using Windows for study and work, and Linux for personal development when possible. I’d like to go back to Linux full-time, but I’m not sure which distro to use
