I used Linux on and off since 2009?
But it was mostly just for work. I never really converted until proton came about. It made gaming viable on Linux and really provided a way to use Linux everyday.

In 2004 grandpa gave me an old laptop from 1995 to play around with. I wanted it to be faster so I tried using g.ho.st. That was a terrible experience, too slow of internet, cloud computing was never gonna work. After that I tried suse. They had this fancy iso builder at the time that let me pick all the packages I want from the repo and have them present on my ISO.
That's started my journey, outside of school I've had Linux exclusively since.
I've been using Linux since 1995, but had an on-again-off-again relationship with it for a while, because I wanted to play games. So it was usually dual boot. But in 2007 I bought a PS3 and have been gaming on PlayStation exclusively since then, which allowed me to go fulltime Linux. I also worked a lot with OpenBSD and still miss pf, which is such a lovely firewall. iptables is horrible shit compared to it (I am aware of nftables, but it's too new to replace the long years of iptables).
when apple took all the USB ports out of their macbooks. i needed a new computer, one with a practical set of ports, and windows was never an option
