What's your first experience with Linux?

My first ever taste of Linux was back in 2009 (during elementary school) with Ubuntu 9.10 and VirtualBox.

Newfag here.
First experience with Linux was installing running live USB of Linux Mint just a year ago. Moved on from there to Fedora, hoping to eventually move on to Debian once I have the time to figure out how to get the WiFi to work.

I used to build ipchains firewalls for SMB customers out of cheap or used desktops before there were things like Linksys or Dlink hardware firewalls. I'd just build from a scratch kernel with appropriate options, and I'd buy boxes of NE2K network cards because that was the only reliable network driver at that time.
Then I went full Microsoft for a bunch of years because I was running an MSP, and came back to it only a few years ago when Windows 8 pissed me off.

My stepfather uses Linux, and slowly I moved more and more towards using Linux until finally installing Gentoo on my only PC at the time, a MacBook, after making OS X like Linux began to reach its limits.

First taste was messing around with Ubuntu in 2011(?), only clicked around for maybe a day and got bored. Then a little over a year ago a linux sys admin spot opened up where I worked so I jumped on it. Got the LPIC1 and planning to take my RHCSA very soon

Good luck with your RHCSA.

Sometimes Knoppix live discs came with my dad's computer magazine, and I always tried them out. That must have been way before 2010, I believe. Didn't use it Linux full time until Windows 8 came out and my laptop really didn't like it (kept BSODing and I also had to put it in standby mode after booting and then turning it on again until the display worked, it was just a blank screen otherwise).
