    The more I learn, the bigger the abyss becomes. I will never master Linux. I will, at best, learn some of the currents and how to sail them safely.

      Yeah one of the Apple exec once said something along the lines of “you can spend your whole life dicking around with Linux and never really understand computers”

      I think about this a lot. Using Linux is sort of a bipolar love/hate relationship.

        I see it more like this:

        Linux is like Democracy. There are plenty of people in it, sometimes it can be a hot messbut when it works and handled by professionals it is the best thing there is.

        The rest are dictatorships. You get what they give, you do what they allow, you can change what they decide, and you pay for everything you do.
