In my region, people who grew up with mac are more likely to finish higher class school than people who grew up using windows.
But not because they use mac but because they tend to have richer parents…

Good grief! The word is excluded. Holy shit.
Shit was making my eye twitch.
probably a Windows user
What if you were started on an Apple computer before Macs existed?
Get out.
I think that being forced to learn about WINE at a young age may have been beneficial actually (if extremely unpleasant)
So unpleasant.
There are dozens of us
I remember when Wine was in alpha for twelve years (and then beta for three more). Was surprised to learn that it finally exited that stage, some time ago already.
So I started with a DOS machine that my dad had at work, then my school got a few Apple Macs in the library so I played Oregon Trail on the green screen, them the first computer we had at home that I was able to spend hours on was windows 3.1.
'98 myself. But I got a vivid memory of being at my aunt's when her computer guy was there and he hated windows describing it as for the lazy. I was really young att but remember playing some kinda dig dug type game that had cartoonish CPUs as the collection goal. I also remember figuring out how to launch it on a dos system.
A flawed hypothesis. LOGO and Hypercard > Lotus notes.
Linux didn't exist when I was 12. 😑
I was around 13 for my first Linux install. Good times. Think pad 600, what a classic.
If I could have that exact same machine, with modern specs, I'd be hard pressed to use anything else. The nostalgia alone... So good.

I was 8 when Linus posted on that Minix Usenet group about his hobby that won't be big at all.
Same. Didn't show up until 3 years later.
"Discluded"?
Thank you! This meme is reposted often, and that non-word always jumps out at me.
I got into programming on a TRS-80 clone. Everything you needed to know to program it was contained in a little 150 page book that came with it.
To program the Mac, you needed a whole bookshelf of books.
I installed Linux for the first time at 14.
13/14 for me. Thinkpad 600 😎
Its nice to know im not the only Linux kid. It felt so weird, most of my friends didn't even know what Android was. It sucks growing up tech savvy when most people call themselves nerds after discovering "air drop".
