    I used MS-DOS as a kid and installed Windows 98 when I was 12. Started to use Linux in my 20s.

    Granted I am old.

      Used DOS and an IBM Selectric II in highschool. Installed windows 3.1.1 in college. W95 at my first job. Upgraded to them all to W98, ME, 2000, 7, 8, 10, and 11

      Installed Linux the first time with Unbuntu Warty Warthog. Had the CD mailed to me.

      I still managed to fuck up GRUB today again… because I’m very talented apparently.

        I managed to shoot my windows install like half year ago by deleting the wrong stuff from my EFI partition (which is too darn small TBH) and still haven’t bothered to fix it. CP77, it figures, by now runs just fine under proton.

        Happens. Something like ten years ago I decided to boot into windows for the first time in a year or so and you know what happened? It installed a service pack for half an hour. Just sat there, for a year, already having downloaded the files, waiting to be booted to annoy me. I just wanted to play some Skyrim.
