For me, it started with Apple II in the 1980s, then MS-DOS in the early 90s, 
then UNIX in the 90s (a Sun clone), followed by Linux - both at the text 
console and later the graphical user interface as well. This was followed by 
Android, iOS, and then Mac OS. I didn’t have any trouble learning Mac OS, as I 
recall.
After that came Windows, learned “mostly on the job” in a work environment, and 
some opportunities to experiment a little with Chrome OS (but not to learn it 
properly).
My only conclusion is that having learned to use several different systems 
already makes the next one easier to learn.
