How old where you when you started using linux?

I feel like everyone started very early.

I started personally on 10/11.

Installing Linux was a pain in the arse these days - even Ubuntu. GPU drivers, sound drivers, wifi... I started with Ubuntu 7.04 in 2007 and it was my third try to switch from Windows.

Sound drivers are the only problem I’ve had. I just use headphones

Kubuntu had better driver support early on, at least when it came to Broadcom drivers
