    I’ve been easing myself into using Mint, but it’s hard to use any Linux distro when all I know about computers is what I’ve been taught by programming memes. I can easily look up all the acronyms, but there’s only so much I can glean from Wikipedia pages that look like they belong on the VX Junkies subreddit

      The trick is to say “[thing] is bullshit!” on a forum site and have people rush to explain why you are an eejit. Way better than Google these days.

      (Case in point: if you use a terminal to do any file operations with a wildcard, use ./* for all the stuff in this directory, instead of just *.)
