My first linux distro was ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04, but it was too easy to use (no options to do my basic jobs like setting up encryption, modifying panels without terminal. Just aplications). I also noticed that it was unstable, but now I know that it felt unstable just because I ran it on broken computer. Linux lite is more complex. Easy to use but I can't for an example show almost anything (GUI) in one screenshot.

Mine was also Ubuntu (12.04) but I couldn't get the graphic card to work properly. I saw a good review about LL2.2 and made the switch. I had a Win7/LL dual-boot setup for a while 'till I made a mistake and deleted Windows while re-sizing partitions. I don't miss it.
LL6.6 in VM
LL5.8 Host

I think the first distro I installed on bare metal must have being Mint Debian edition, around 2014.
I had installed Ubuntu on Virtualbox before that, and I also have used Gparted live-cd way before that.
The only thing I regret now, is that I waitet all the way until windows XP EOL before seriously switched to Linux. Wish I had done that before.
I won't let an old, but fully functional computer die just because some company tell me that they won't make no more security updates to their OS. Thanks Linux
