SLS Linux downloaded from one of the Bulletin Boards of that era. Around 1991 or 1992 or thereabouts. I was already using a variant of UNIX by then.
Over the next few years, I would 'look in' on the latest Linux version about every few months, usually the latest Slackware. It was amazing the huge progress in leaps and bounds as networking was added, as graphics were added, etc.
Around 2001, I felt that Linux was as good as the Solaris (SUN's UNIX) I had been using, so started using Linux full-time from then onwards.
I was using a UNIX GUI around the time that Windows 3.1 came out in 1993(?). Compared to the UNIX GUI capabilities I was used to, Windows was so bad and so primitive that I have never considered using it as my day-to-day Operating System at any time in the nearly 30 years since then.
