I totally agree that can happen. My first experience with Linux was installing Slackware from a CD I got with a magazine at 16. Install worked but I couldn't really do much with it with no internet connection so abandoned it. Also I hosed the Windows partition when trying to set up dual boot so got banned from the family PC for a while.
Huh. My first Linux experience was an early Slackware too! And yeah, I tinkered with it (thankfully I had a second computer so I didn't trash my valuable computer) and just stopped using it because it didn't bring anything useful to the table at the time. (I switched to QNX on that computer instead.)
Years later I was a lot more impressed by Linux and made the switch to dual-boot, then finally ditched the Windows side entirely.
