First OS, WinXP.

Later when win7 was discontinued, I kept windows 10 on my desktop and Ubuntu on my laptop. It wasnt until Valve started working on proton and most of the games I play became playable on Linux that I ditched windows entirely.

I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it's what I've stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.
