I know it's not a Ask HN post, but for most of my Windows using years, it boiled down to Gimp. It was, and still is, such a slow-loading poorly-functioning image editor that I assumed all of GNU/Linux was just as bad as it was. When people try something, it's the one thing that sucked that they remember the most. Then, when I entered the workforce, all the developers used Mac so I switched to that. I eventually got a Linux laptop as my main work laptop, but that wasn't my choice, the company just required it.
