When I was 13 I installed Linux in Virtualbox on a Mac because for some reason thought dual booting would be harder, we did not have any non-apple devices in the house, I do not recommend, the performance was terrible (I probably had something set up wrong because it was really way worse than you would expect)

I have ended up on Windows with a Linux laptop for traveling, but will probably switch to Linux as soon as either:

  1. I get a new VR headset
  2. Monado gets decent controller tracking support
  3. It's 2026 and Windows with WMR support has stopped getting security updates

Then I will have crossed the whole mac->windows->linux pipeline.

I used an Apple IIe in 1st grade. With the big 5.25in floppys. Learned logo and figured out how to make spirograms using recursive patterns.

Much later we got a Dell P90 and win 95 before going through the rest of windows releases up through win 7. I figured out Linux in high school at some point, but that’s more of a hobby from time to time.

But also used os/7/8/9 at school and later switched to Mac in general.

Seems like one of those bell curve memes with macOS on the left and right and windows in the center

Well the economy is what rips you off to make companies money, so its actually one of the more honest usages I've seen
