Okay, I'm curious, when did you guys first install and join Linux? Please boost for a wider data pool. :verificado:

Feel free to expand about the specifics in the replies :ablobcatheart:

@tomxcd I distinctly remember my father buying SUSE Linux and me and him installing that in 1999 / 2000 I think? From then on I've used Linux on and off until 2009, where I took the plunge and worked almost exclusively with it since then 😊

@tomxcd, in the mid 90's I bought this. It took more than five years for Linux to become my primary system and a couple more to finally erase the Windows partition.

DELETED

@tomxcd@mas.to I got Linux Mint on my laptop for the first time in 2013 for a summer. I didn't know a thing about FOSS and privacy, I just heard it was 'better than Windows' but I didn't know why
then I got the laptop I'm using now and I thought Windows 8 that came pre-installed was so 'beautiful' I would keep using it instead of Linux. a decision I regret now. I could educate myself on Linux back then, 10 years ago
the second time I got Linux Mint on my laptop was on February 14 this year, this time fully aware of why I choose it over Windows. and I will never choose a proprietary OS again
