Linux users should be included. After all they switched OS being they couldn't understand how image formatting works.

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.

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.
