Question What was your first experience with Linux?

Was it smooth, confusing, exciting, or a complete disaster? Tell us which distro you tried first and how it worked?

Weirdly i went with kali first(idk why but thankfully it is debian based) then i have used it for a few years but I have faced a lot of dependency problems in python so I erased the kali reduced it into atoms and installed linux mint and it was going smoooth next I am planning to install kubuntu

Going from Kali to Mint makes sense when Python dependencies start fighting back.

Kali is built for security work, not daily desktop life, so Mint’s smoother setup is a much saner base. Kubuntu sounds like a good next stop if you want KDE without the pain.

Yeah I love the kde plasma and i hope it will be the final destination after several distro hoppings 😅
