Did she intentionally use the word disclude to make linux autists mad?
Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.
Is the hypothesis that Windows being constantly broken forces you to learn how to fix it ? Because that’s kinda what happened to me 😆
If you’ve had to mess around with EMM386 and HIMEM settings to play Wing Commander 2, you win.
I’m curious what her hypothesis is, I don’t think there is a correlation at all personally, seen a ton of people who know nothing about their computers regardless of Mac/Windows as their primary os.
I take it someone has already pointed out that excluded was the word wanted?
Should’ve written “Mac PCs” just to mess with people.
I learned because I was torrenting and broke the family windows computer. It was either fix it or get grounded.
I switched to Linux after my experience with Windows Millennium Edition. Many people have since referred to me as some sort of programming genius and hacker…I don’t know crap about any of that. I’ve simply followed instructions and referred to the help communities, whenever I’ve had trouble. Using the mainstream distributions (I’m guessing) has kept me from having much trouble.
I think my kids may benefit, as my wife only uses Mac, I have 2 Ubuntus and a Mint, and the kids use Chromebooks at school. We have 2 iPad and a Galaxy tab in the house. 1 kid has an Android phone and the other an iPhone. My wife and I both have flagship Android phones.
Sometimes it’s fun to watch them debate over which systems they prefer, depending on the school projects they work on.
The Picard Maneuver, inciting violence once again, I see. tips fedora
I just want to point out that I was somewhat tech literate in the 2000s. and The Mac OS still scared me.
I grew up on Mac and only switched to Windows when I was 30. lol
I still wonder what Linux is like… It’s probably cool.
A home-built (from a set) one-board computer counts as what?
My first experience with Linux was at 10 years old or so. I had a netbook that I’d installed Ubuntu on.
Flash forward nearly 14 years and I use Arch as pretty much a daily driver these days.
Fun. I didn’t grow up issuing a Mac, not did I grow up using Windows… Nor Linux.
When I started on computers, we used DOS.
I’m old.
I’m not old enough to remember punch cards, I was solidly in the x86 generation, but still.
For the record, I do IT support now. I’m the one that helps you with your printer.
