I'm Gen X and credit playing video games for most of my self-taught knowledge on how computers work. My first computer was an Apple IIe, which didn't require much more than putting disks in and typing startup commands, but when we got a Windows 3.1 PC next, I had to learn about file systems and troubleshooting when things inevitably went wrong. To this day, most of the computer stuff I've learned was from trying to get games working.

Yeah, PC gaming was a pretty significant motivator for me to learn all sorts of tech related skills.

And the limited experience I have with Linux is from getting my Raspberry Pi working. I even posted about having a problem and learned about "sudo." (it worked)

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
