To be fair, having experience in OSes from childhood is certainly a life lesson to the upcoming years within teenhood and adulthood. I'm not undermining this attribute, as within a world of complexity, having any experience already puts you further than most.

I also discovered Linux when I was around 8-9, Ubuntu 10.10 was my first distro (was already 5 years out of date by then but it's all I had), partially daily drove 14.04 2-3 years later, then went full daily some time in 2021. here I am today using a linux phone, all because "hey dad how do I make windows look like Mac"

I was obsessed with computers and machines ever since I discovered them for the first time
