My first 'windowing system' was actually AT & T UNIX. So I was already in the Unix/Linux windowing space before MSFT Windows 3.0 was released.
My first reaction to Windows 3.0 and 3.1 was horror. It was so primitive and so far behind the X11 Windowing System that I was never able to accept Windows as a personal system, but only used it when forced to at various work-places.
I used UNIX with X11 (AT&T, USL, then Solaris) solely as my personal system until 2001 when I changed to using Linux.
I could be considered as a techy, but was never a true computing/programming professional.
