So what make you lot a Linux? Why do you decide to walk on the other side of M?
In my case it's very simple, I worked on Unix machines (mostly Sun Solaris but also a Tektronix development system back in the 1980s and several HP and DEC unix boxes) just about all my 'recent' (i.e. the last 25 years or so) working/programming life. So Linux was a 'home from home' that I could run on my own hardware.
When MS-DOS PCs first appeared I run that but soon had various 'Unix lookalike' things to run on it (MKS Toolkit in particular). I ran Windows 3/3.1 when it arrived and then Windows NT, for a while I used OS/2 (again with MKS Toolkit and others to make it more Unix-like) but finally moved wholly over to Linux ten years or more ago.
