I've started about 9 years ago, we have only one computer in home used also by my brother and father (diehard EE engineer that started with punched card programming and still writes, albeit great, software for embedded in notepad++(syntax coloring) and copy-paste into IAR IDE) and I was craving for linux but no one would allow me to install some strange OS. In 2006 I finally got mine first PC and I've installed ubuntu. I was enlightened so to speak, ubuntu worked for me for quite a while until gnome3 and unity, then I've switched to Arch and am using it ever since.
