Yeah its about the same for me, I started using Linux in earnest around 1997 when the local data magazine distributed Red Hat 4.2, but switched to using it full time around 2003.
For me it was 2003. Debian Woody. On an EasyBytes CDROM. That I paid 5 dollars for. Replaced Windows 98. The boost to the usability of that computer was insane.
Huh. 20 years. That’s how long I’ve been using Linux as my primary OS. I hadn’t actually thought about how long that’s been the case until now.
i wasn’t even born back then

Funny, that’s how ling I’ve been using Linux too. It turned into a very lucrative career too, so there’s that I guess.
