Guess it kinda depends what you mean by ‘using Linux’. I think the first time I tried it was in 2017, I’d just built my computer and dad’s a Linux user so I’d obviously heard about it before and I was at least somewhat sympathetic to the idea of free software over proprietary software, so I decided to try something out. I went with what seemed to me to be the basic safe option at the time and tried Ubuntu. I didn’t last very long, found things kinda confusing and difficult, and was soon back to Windows, because I really just wanted to game with my new computer.

I think it was maybe the next year that my school decided to require people to have laptops, so I got one and since I knew I was mostly going to be doing basic tasks, I figured I’d give Linux another shot, this time I went with Mint (with cinnamon), which I’d heard was fairly similar to Windows, and it worked quite well for me so I stuck with it. Probably another year after that (2019) I actually decided, honestly largely so I could make my sister stop stealing my PC to game on so much (I knew Fortnite wouldn’t run, while the games I enjoyed would lol), to switch my main desktop to Linux, this time I went with Arch and from then on it’s all been Linux.
