Summer of 2020. Lockdown was in full effect and I was working from home. I wouldn't say I had a lot of extra free time (my kid was 1 year old at the time, lol), but I spent many hours that Summer tinkering with various projects, and that led me to eventually adopt Linux as my daily driver on all my machines.

I've dabbled with Linux since 2005, but was never savvy enough to completely ditch Windows until 2020.
