We all have opinions on how to procedurally get someone started using Linux. To mixed effect. I wonder if we could be more successful if we paid closer attention to the machine between the seat and the keyboard. What mindsets can we instill in people that would increase the likelihood they stick with it? How would we go about instilling said mindsets?
I have my own opinions I will share later. I don’t want to direct the conversation.
If I have a problem, I try (and with Linux) often succeed to understand the problem. This is very rewarding and allows my systems to run without many problems, since I can extinguis issues at the cause.
