Never grew out of Linux, but let me tell you about growing out of my Windows phase. When I was, like, 12 years old I loved Windows 3.1. It had such a fancy UI, I could spend hours just playing with the control panel icons and settings.

As I grew older and helped my friends with tech issues, I realized how poor and unpredictable the Windows experience was, but I had no idea that there was a practical and accessible alternative for desktop use. I had a job as a jr. unix sys admin which exposed me to BSD.

I played around with various linux distros over time, but what really turned me on to Linux on the desktop was Ubuntu, around the 8.04 days. It really just worked, and it did nearly everything I was accustomed to Windows doing, for free! Nowadays I've continued trying other distros but I always come back to Ubuntu. It really does everything I want.
