You must be quite young.

Windows 98 or 2000 was my last machine on a computer I used. I already
moved to Linux in 1998. I started 1983 with a Commodore 64, 1987 with an
Amiga 500. My first PC came in 1995 with Windows 95. The next PC came
with Windows 98 but I installed 2000 next to Linux soon. After that it
was only Linux. Well, PCs after that might have been shipped with Windows
8 or 10, but again I installed Linux alongside with that and never really
used Windows there.
