Same here. Some nice german computer magazine with an (old) version of Suse, then Ubuntu. I broke the shared family computer more than once until I figured out the partitioning, bootloader and many driver issues. But it was just pirated games on the harddisk back then, so the one time I wiped the entire disk, I just went to the next LAN party and copied everything from my friends again. Linux really resonated with me. And I was still young so I was curious, impressed by what people do and it was easy to take everything in and learn the concepts. I stuck with Linux since. But I suppose it's more difficult if you switch to Linux as an adult. You got stuff to do, want that PC to work and don't have as much time to spend.
