Those of you who use Linux: What was your first Linux distribution, and what was your experience like?

Those of you who don't use Linux: What is your impression of Linux, based on the information you currently have? Would you ever consider using Linux as the operating system on your main PC?

Those who don't know what I'm talking about: What is the primary device you use to access the Internet?

It was Ubuntu. If I'm not mistaken, version 16.04. It was cool in that it could run Firefox out of the box and do web browsing. But I didn't know how to download software properly, and ended up thinking like it was some sort of unfinished/experimental stuff that was being taken too seriously.

Fast forward to today and my esteemed KDE Ubuntu handles everything I throw at it (except sustained workloads like gaming but that's a firmware support issue)
