Oh boy, Yggdrasil! That brings me back, my first Linux installation

recalls using Redhat in late nineties
And that was my second... I actually bought the box.
Only two versions I knew back in the day were Debian and Red Hat, a
friend had SUSE.
When the time came I tried out everything and Debian worked OK, but
was lacking in desktop frills, so I tried Ubuntu, but for whatever
reason the installation failed, so I tried mint Mate.
And have never seen any reason to try anything else.
Began with SLS [1], installed Slackware when it first appeared as an
"improved" SLS, still using Slackware (now V15) today.
