Mandrake, I wanna say ~1998 or so. But tbh, I only recently finally took the plunge and wiped all traces of M$ off my system. I’ve tried Linux distris over the years and always just couldn’t make them work for me for one reason or another. Red hat, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Manjaro, Arco, Endeavor. Nothing really worked out for me and something inevitably broke that genuinely wasn’t my fault. Now, I have settled on pure Arch with KDE and for some reason, it’s been stable and been used daily for months now and I can’t think of one thing that could ever make me go back, or anywhere else for that matter.
