It was far too recent for somebody with my background. I learned how the UNIX command line was different from DOS in the late 90s, but it was only last year that I switched from a VM to a native Linux install at work. Then I swapped over the home PCs during winter.
After defaulting to Windows for so long because of games and employers favoring it, it was almost frustrating how fast, smooth, and "clean" feeling it was to install Linux natively on a system compared with the recent versions of Windows. And that's without any special lightweight distro. I am a proud Linux Mint Cinnamon user, lol.
