I started with System 7 on the Mac and because of that I had to quickly learn ResEdit and hex editing. Ironically this made me better later in life with windows and Linux, that shit is a breeze in comparison.
Also HyperCard fucking slapped

I wish Linux existed when I was twelve.
It did when I was, and it was a nightmare even though I was very tech savvy
It’s so much better now
Ah crud, I installed Linux on my computer when I was 12 (replacing MacOS, no less).
Um. VAX cluster?
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).
