To be fair, having Linux as your first OS would be very rare.

Hey, look, guys! I'm a rarity!!
(Most people would deinitely consider that a GOOD THING!)
 
Well, almost. I went from MSDOS to UNIX and then Linux. Never had Windows as
my personal 'daily-driver'.
 
(Aually, I was using X11 desktops on UNIX, and had heard 'Wonderful Things'
about this new 'Windows thing'.  So I tried it and was aghast at just how
**bad** and primitive it was, compared to what I was already using.)

I thought older windows was good for it's time, but yeah nowadays I'm
leaning more towards Linux. I haven't heard of some of these, thanks for
bringing it up!
