Other 196's:
Grew up on Mac (Chuck Yeager game anyone?).
DOS & Win3.1 later. QBasic for first language. Later VB, ew.
Linux sporadically throughout.
Use Linux largely for side projects but unfortunately all my jobs have me stuck on Windows during the day.
Chuck Yeager's air combat? I played that on PC
I started with a iMac (MacOS X) before moving on to Windows (10) and then Linux at roughly 14
I too started with Linux at 14. I just got my first computer, an old laptop with Windows. It was too slow and I couldn't even figure out anything in settings. (Windows 10 and its Settings + reduced Control Panel).
I at first tried to find "Linux". I had little idea about it, but I thought Linux must be it, and these others were just modifications, so I kept trying to find "pure Linux". Eventually figured out the distributions thing and decided on Mint (MATE).
I dug through all old movies just to find a rarity. One single movie burned to DVD-RW, perfect! (First computer, why would I have a USB drive?)
In the end I was using Windows for whopping 2 days.
And since I finally had a proper computer, it only took a few months and my phone was running a custom ROM (PixelExperience).
Maybe I am autistic after all.
I installed my first Linux distro in my country's equivalent of high school, probably 17 years old or so. It was just Ubuntu. 🤷♂️ Not very difficult. Just pop in the CD/USB and follow the installation wizard.
