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.

When I was 12 my dad gave me two defect PCs and says: find out how to compare the working parts and you can have this one for you. Also a copy of win95.

If I look back this was enough to learn about every hard- and software related issue ever. Hell, even the mainboards back then doesn't have any documentations about jumpers etc.

And win95 need a regularly reinstall. If I compare how many reinstalls I needed between win and Linux, windows wins.

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.
