     @itsfoss I want to say 15, but I didn't like my first experience with it. A year later I started using Ubuntu 6.06 and loved it.

     I started using Linux in 1996.

     I was using Solaris & IRIX before that.

     Granted it was pre-Ubuntu and pre-Fedora.

     @itsfoss I first tried Linux when I was probably 14 but didn't start using it as a daily driver until 18. The more important question imo is what year did you start using Linux as back in the 90s and early 2000s it was a lot harder to get working. Now it's easier to install and setup Linux than windows. From my experience today Linux just works on most hardware. Windows takes a while to get all the drivers you need.
