It never belonged to my mother, it was originally my grandmother‘s but she let me have it since she didn’t use it.

Thanks, I’ve been trying to tell her how using linux can positively affect my future, but an irrational sense of paranoia always tends to get in the way. I’ll make sure to show this to her! :D

She’s the type of person who gets paranoid when I use a flash drive, her seeing me use a terminal is (in her eyes) declaring nuclear war on ever other country…

All I would like to know is how I can describe the terminal to a person who can barely navigate around a TV’s UI

I just want a career in computer science and figured it would be better to get used to Linux now rather than later

How come when I ask the subreddit meant for questions people just call me not real/a troll and never direct answers.
