When GNU started my age was 1. So I was not always a GNU/Linux user. It was infeasible as when it all started in 1983 there was no GNU yet, just a plan or a roadmap.
Choosing GNU/Linux isn't just about choosing a brand; there's a philosophy or one might say "lifestyle" behind it. It's about sharing as opposed to hoarding, i.e. it's intrinsically different from choosing between Apple and Microsoft or between Firefox and Brave.
