From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm just saying... The forest also contains difficult to overcome obstacles. And even traps. And now it's your job to stay motivated while breaking free or taking the detour around.... You could have been guided and told how the trap works.
And without knowing what to look for, you won't see the traps coming. Some are really difficult to overcome if you didn't see something alike before. And you're relying on chance with that.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do it. Nobody does it to that extreme. I think most people pick up a book at some time. Or watch an online course that has information processed for you.
And everybody learns differently. There just isn't one simple truth that applies to everyone.
