Macintosh System 7. Then I moved to Windows 98, which was the style at the time.

First OS for me would be Windows XP.
First Linux I've tried using could technically be whatever version of Android was on my mom's Droid phone.
First desktop Linux would be some version of Ubuntu around 2014-2015
Windows XP, but it was during its ending phase, so I think it really was Vista. My first Linux distro was Kali Linux because I wanted to be a cool hacker when I was a kid. I never got too much into it then, though. I then found Ubuntu, and strangely enough, I switched to Trisquel, which wasn't too bad. I decided to go all the way and buy a T400 with Libreboot/Trisquel when I was about 15 years old and used that as my second computer for about two years. I learned how to start installing Libreboot myself. It was a really fun experience (not really, there was a lot of quitting and crying), but it taught me more about GNU and the entire philosophy. I started to learn more about GNU and RMS when I was 18. Now I'm 20 and use Arch. The end.
My first Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.04 that I got from a free magazine cd from my university.
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...
My first OS was DOS 5.0, I switched to linux with Fedora core 6
The first OS I recall using is Windows 7 (yes Iβm young), and for Linux, I switched from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, which is what I use in the present day.
First OS was DOS (I think) on an Apple IIE at school. I think there were a few Commodore 64βs there as well. A couple years later we got our first home computer running Windows 95. Good times playing Doom, Janeβs Apache, an MS Flight Simulator.
My first personal computer was running Windows XP and I switched to Ubuntu sometime in 2004. Ran Ubuntu for the most part till a few months ago when I switched my desktop and laptop to NixOS.
Started self hosting services in 2012 and started with Ubuntu as base OS. Now though most of my servers are Proxmox with the VMs usually running Ubuntu LTS, though NixOS is starting to creep in there as well.
