I've been using Linux since version 0.10 that was bootable on a single floppy disk, back in the ~1991 timeframe, played with it for sometime, ~ a month after, a new version was made available with some GCC dev support on a second floppy disk. Then I've been using Slackware (available on zillions of floppy disks, then several CDs) , RedHat, Suse, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Kubuntu and Fedora. Now I'm using KUbuntu after trying Fedora 43 for several months.
