I started with Mandrake (ironically for the game ban, I bought a retail version that came bundled with a copy of The Sims that had been rigged to run with wine), then tried Linux From Scratch (very educational), then a brief spell on Gentoo (because my Dell laptop needed some extra config to get the wifi working anyway, so I figured why not compile all the packages - then I figured out why). Then I liked KDE so moved to openSUSE, but then I stopped liking KDE when 4 came out and broke everything, so I moved to Ubuntu. Then I stopped liking GNOME when 3 broke everything, and at any rate I didn’t have so much time to fiddle any more, so I moved to Xubuntu, and there I remain.
