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!

    Yeah, Knoppix was kind of a ‘Tucows vibe’ distro. Pretty approachable.

    Zen Linux was another short-lived 2005 liveDistro, which had a nice feel and Art.

    Also, installing all https://trisquel.info/ versions side-by-side and doing a 17 year fast-forward would be cool.
