I started in 1981 at 11yo with a ZX81 writing games in BASIC. In 1984 at 14yo I was cracking games on Amstrad CPC6128, Z80 assembly. At 18 in 1988 it was on PC in DOS (8086). Yes I installed Linux 0.99 on my 486 PC in 1992 or something.

Never touched an Apple device.

Same, except for having played a bit with Apple 2s. I've had a windows partition on and off to run steam, but it never held any data. Nowadays it wouldn't serve any purpose of course.
