I have no idea when I started hearing about it, but tried it for the first time somewhere around 2004-2006 (I think I used Red Hat Linux 9; Fedora seems to have been released, but my computer was a hand-me-down that wasn't capable enough).

Fedora has been my primary OS since about 2008, though frequently on dual boot machines together with Arch or (more recently) Gentoo.
