I 'looked' at Linux many times between 1991 and 2000. Apart from playing with SLS downloaded from the BBSs and then Slackware after the 1994 CD, I didn't bother installing it permanently because I was already using 'real' Unix on my main personal desktop.(AT&T, Novell, SunOS, Solaris 2.x)
What really gobsmacked me every time was the huge jump in Linux's capabilities in the few months since my last 'look'.
After 2001, I changed to Linux exclusively.
These days I use Debian Testing or Mint MATE. (Mainly Mint MATE as my day-to-day desktop, with Debian as my 'emergency' installation.)
