At 12 I was not so interested in the features and mechanics of computers and OSs as to even have an opinion on the Windows UI, let alone consider other options. I was using AOL chat rooms and MSN Messenger, watching stupid flash videos on Newgrounds, and playing The Sims and Mech fighting games. I was in college studying Computer Science before I even gave a shit, and didn't actually install Linux on my PC until I was in my mid 20s. So, from my perspective, you're still an outlier.

    Well when i talked about the UI it was honestly just very superficial. In a way of "oh i'm bored of this, but this other thing looks much different." Basically monkey brain shit. It's funny cause while i ended up going back to windows to be able to play games, my laptop was just a dual core celeron that could barely play anything anyway. I remember it often overheating and shutting down while i was playing sims 3 lol.
