I can relate. I had my first Mac in April or May of 1984, when I was in Grade 5. My Dad won one of the first MacIntoshes at a conference. I've had many Macs, and a few iDevices since.But a few years ago, as my 2008 Macbook packed it in, and I looked at what I could get from Apple to replace it, I decided to move to linux.

Now, I use a couple machines that were handed down to me, running KDE Neon, and I'm pretty happy with how it's working for me. 🙂
