  • I've been using Linux for almost 20 years, but I still remember the fear of the terminal. The truth is that there is not much that you need to learn for daily use. Unless I'm working on an actual project (like configuring servers/networking) I don't spend much time in a CLI. Start with a beginner friendly distro (Linux Mint Debian Edition is my pick). You shouldn't need terminal at all for basic usage. Next, find some tutorials on basic Linux terminal usage and practice. The goal isn't to "learn every command" but to just familiarize yourself with how it works. Learn how to navigate your files and folders (ls, cp, mv, touch, etc). Learn how to edit text files (use nano). After that, anything you need to learn will be because you want to do something beyond basic use.

  • This is my changed approach. I used to do what you're suggesting and it didn't get anywhere either. It just left me frustrated and worn down. Nowadays I put my actual effort into organizing on the ground in my area. Anything I do online is for my own satisfaction.

  • Why would any of those people ever help with my leftist agenda? I'm not going to work with fascists or other genocide-enjoyers just to have someone to work with. I'm just hoping that well meaning libs will eventually get tired of having the rug pulled out from under them by the people they elect.
