  1. The more you know the more you know that you don't know. The Dunning-Kruger effect in reverse.

  2. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

  6. You know what's a good way to learn? Studying. Crack the books and do the work. Do the examples and the labs. Oh and find better professors. Remember who's paying who. Remind them if need be. Maybe if the world was better I'd be better? But it isn't, so I'm not. Modern computers are incredibly complex. There's nothing that can be done about that. That's how evolution works. It is how our entire plane of reality works. Things get more complicated moment by moment. Why you think computers should be different is beyond me. Find a school where they actually teach you things. Life is hard; It's harder if you're stupid.

  7. There are no mountains in Linux. It is all cliffs.

  8. HP PCs should be compatible with Linux. I've run Linux on a few of them.

  9.  @sirzorg5728  I run Debian and I have a directory in my home directory where I build stuff I want to build. So I kind of have a hybrid system. I'm a classic UNIX user in that regard. I wear two hats. There's the sys admin and the user. When I'm root I'm not me. You have to develop that mindset to have success with Linux. Don't mess with the system!

  11. Different things are true on different levels of mastery. I have been running Linux for a long time and Linux is far more complex now than it used to be. Back in the day you could actually get through a kernel build make config. I wouldn't attempt it today.

  12. We get to look at our data from decades ago. We can also optimize our OS kernels for the hardware we have. You just watched someone optimizing their whole system by building the code locally. -march=native There's nothing quite like going native. Some are using Linux to fight coronavirus. Billion dollar computers don't run Windows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugaku_(supercomputer)
