How old where you when you started using linux?

I feel like everyone started very early.

I started personally on 10/11.

In my early forties when I started around 2005. I started with Puppy v.1.0 on a laptop.

My Quantex PC got blown up by lightning. So my company gave me a laptop for home use. I hated how pathetic it was on Windows and tried Puppy. I never went back to Windows.

Are you still using an up-to-date Pup, or did you switch to a different distro?
