My first PC was an XT 286, about 30 years ago. I've been using Microsoft's operating systems until 2015, when I got fed up with Windows, then I discovered Linux Mint (17.2 was the current version back then). Within a couple of weeks I switched completely to Linux Mint and it has been my daily driver, both at home and at work, ever since!
