@KennySpade that makes sense! maybe i'll try that. here the reason is that I want tips that are likely to help people learning *today* and what helped someone 20 years ago is less likely to be useful today
(for example someone told me that what helped them 20 years ago was installing Gentoo, which is great, but I think Gentoo is kind of out of style now and I would not recommend it to someone learning in 2023)
all of that is a lot of words though
@b0rk for me, just the first bit about what helps people today would be enough. The way my brain works, if I’m told not to do something, I always have to try to figure out why, so a simple reason that makes sense is enough. If a reason isn’t provided, I might subconsciously make one up, and it might not be a good reason or anything close to the actual reason. I was the kid who would never accept “because I said so” as good enough. 😅
