it’s been a long road . . . .

This is the good interaction, I had the bad version:

Long ago in highschool I was interested in Linux but was thrown off it by the “Tech” group of kids who, even though we went to the same nerdy Star Trek club, told me I would be able to understand it.

I get that hurt people, hurt others; but duck those guys from 20 years in the future.

I’m getting back into interest for Linux cause I just got a Steam Deck and I’m curious as to what else I can do with a full desktop.

My thoughts exactly, and thanks for such a nice reply
