I have never used windows

The first OS I touched was ChromeOS, first real OS was Debian 12 in a VM inside of a container (crostini). This was all before I could even think of getting another computer. I can barely even remember why I turned on crostini, probably for programming because I was interested in it at the time & I still am.

When I did get a new computer just recently, it was on windows, locked to Chinese through the license (I got the laptop from China), but I was already intending to install Gentoo after having installed Gentoo on an old 15 year old windows computer lying around. So Linux was kind of a no-brainer for me, as can't use Chinese windows, & using windows is like transitioning to Linux for the normies, also, I was already engrained in the Linux environment, I loved Niri, even on the old 15 year old laptop.

Just wanted to share my story, more or less.
