We all have opinions on how to procedurally get someone started using Linux. To mixed effect. I wonder if we could be more successful if we paid closer attention to the machine between the seat and the keyboard. What mindsets can we instill in people that would increase the likelihood they stick with it? How would we go about instilling said mindsets?
I have my own opinions I will share later. I don’t want to direct the conversation.
Honestly for me it was starting Young. I can say wholeheartedly that if I hadn’t been working on operating Linux style systems in high school, there is no way in hell that if I tried starting it today that I would want to put myself through the hassle of not only learning it but also fixing it
So I’d have to say an energetic and perseverance and ambitious Style mindset
The other benefit of being in highschool is many people have loads of time to spend.
I honestly don’t know if there is any advice I can give to someone with a fulltime job and care giving responsibilities that would be convincing.
