First experience with Linux was ~1993, became a regular user while studying computer engineering in 1995, and became a full time Linux user in 1998. Played the free games that came with Linux distros in the mid-late 90s, bought my first commercial Linux game (CIV:CTP) in 1999 and have been almost exclusively gaming with Linux since.

I haven't followed kernel development over the last few years, since I started a non-computer business that takes up most of my time, but chances are, if you've been around for a while, you've run code I've written.
