In the entire history of computing, there has never been a more important time to teach people about #Linux than right now.
(And never a worse time for me not to be doing @Linux4Everyone -- so I hope my fellow YouTube and content creators will double down and show people the light!)
It always feels like an uphill battle, even with my Dad who hates Microsoft and has been in tech related jobs for most of his life.
He gets pissed at how Linux works because it's not how he thinks everything should work.
@CWSmith @killyourfm Yeah, that totally sucks.
Having to deal with friends and family who find Linux difficult to use and unintuitive is definitely a nightmare.
Since you recommended it to them, you also end up having to provide a 24/7 tech support service (which is less than ideal).
It's much better to find other ways of getting more people to use Linux — whether it's by contributing code, writing documentation or publishing guides.
That's much less stressful and way more productive!
Ain't that the truth.
I will probably be doing that more as I work on one of my blog urls instead of deal with whatever else I'd need to for that.
Even if I am not an expert, having stuff written from the POV of an enthusiastic but not professional voice could be of actual benifit.
@CWSmith @ProfessorCode Enthusiasiam is contagious!
So many projects I want to do...
Including kitting out an old cargo van for camping/living.
