I mean, I didn’t have a clue about IT and only ever used windows until AFTER college. In high school I didn’t have the slightest care for any computer type stuff besides AIM, Napster and cracked video games. I had two programming classes in college. (Neither Of which I cared for too much or really learned much about the underlying machine)and they were both done on Windows computers. I guess I’m lucky my degree (EE) overlapped with comp eng, I got into some decent jobs that let my work overlap gradually into software land. I now I work on Linux machines all day, and have a very healthy hunger to continue to learn and pick up new knowledge. But bottom line, none of this developed until I got into a career. Kids back in the day were just as clueless. And there are a few outliers, sure.
