My dad used to distrohop a lot in the linux and bsd land. I first used linux around 20+yrs ago when my dad set up some linux(red hat or suse I cant remember). My dad never really taught me to program or supervised my usage of computers but when I got my first pc I was eager to set up linux. In the end I ended up bricking my windows xp install (no more games for me). My usb mouse would also frequently not work on linux. But that got me started on my journey through foss land. I'm now doing a PhD in robotics and I have no regrets.
My younger brother also ended up using linux as he got my second hand macbook (with linux) as his first laptop. He is now headed down the med school route but still very proficient with coding thanks to his linux experience.
