Mozilla has already fulfilled as my hopes. They release truly free software of the highest quality. Firefox is an excellent browser and ecosystem and thinderbird is an excellent email client (or so I hear - I use only web-based email). My dream is for them to remain faithful to their own principles.

Fedora Core (the first one) was my first love in Linux. I tried SuSE before that but wasn’t as polished as it is now. That was more than 20 years ago!

MX Linux. It is Debian with setup and tools I really want but would be too lazy to prepare in one go. Love it as much as I love Debian.

My first distro was Suse Linux 8.1. I had to buy the box as downloading was not an option with my dial-up connection back then. However, the first distro that I fell in love with was Fedora Core. The original one. I bought the book which had the DVD with the full installation. I was hooked. That was more than 20 years ago.
