I’ll go first, I took my mom’s college textbooks which came with discs for a couple distros and failed to install RHEL before managing to get Fedora Core 4 working. The first desktop environment I used was KDE and despite trying out a few others over the years I always come back to plasma. Due to being like 12, I wanted to run my games on it, and man wine was not nearly as easy to use (or as good) as it is nowadays. So I switched back to windows until around 2015 or so when I spent the next few years trying to replace windows as much as I could. Once valve released proton, I switched fully and have t looked back, unless my still there windows partition tries to take over my computer when I restart it at least.

    First intro was Knoppix when I was 12. Used it to bypass limits on library computers, and started learning the command line.

    Dual booted the family computer with Debian when I was 13.

    Played with Fedora and Ubuntu on my own computer when I was 15.

    Hosted my own web communities when I was 16.

    I’m 34 now and I’m 100% Linux. PopOS desktop, and Debian headless preferred.
