  • Gonna stop you right there boss, I have been on this earth 30 years. Trust every method of trying to follow along, that I have tried.

    And I think people are getting too hung up on Duolingo, that’s just the closest thing I can compare to.

    what I personally need is repetition. And nothing has been more effective that whoever coded the algebraic problems in blackboard. It pulls up a generated problem from a set or concept, I work it out on paper and input it into the input, which uses either math text or latex. Its fantastic. Except you can’t pull up problems on demand and it’s not in a mobile format so it’s a bit of work getting in practice on the go.

    Makes some good points, mint is the closest experience you can get to windows. And one thing I think people who are getting uppity about the idea of that don’t get is, if you want more mainstream adaptation of Linux, YOU. NEED. THAT.

    I remember the story of a man trying to get his mom onto Linux and she broke down crying at one point because learning all the new things was stressful for her, completely turned her off of Linux.

    Mint isn’t for the sweaty arch-bros of the world, it’s a valuable onboarding tool for the rest of us who didn’t spend our childhood scripting shell commands to do random shit on our PC’s in grade school. IMHO, Adapt to accessibility or get the hell out of the way.
