- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

users are folders, if Linux could turn user into files we... isn't that the plot of the tron?
files composed of pure, possibly sentient, evil.
What blew my mind the most was the mouse and monitors were files.
That look. Mom's been letting him use MacOS.
Baby is like "I'm not maintaining shit without proper centralized package management. Gimme Gentoo!"
I am immensely disappointed that this isn't a real book.
Awwww! cutiepie!
NO WAY! They've got an LFS one now?!? My son got a bunch of them for his baby shower two years ago, and he's been like super into them since he was like 15-18 months old. I highly recommend Bayesian Statistics; it explains the concept more clearly than any stats or data science class I've taken. His favorites are Optical Physics (because he's into rainbows), Bayesian Statistics (because he likes cookies), and Quantum Computing (because he likes the word "data", probably because he hears me say it in work meetings).
This is actually photoshopped and just a meme. But I am amazed that those books you mentioned apparently seem to be real.
Should have known from the fact that the spine says "Quantum Entanglement". This is the set my son was given. Looks like he actually has published a few more since then, but nothing Linux-related (yet). We love them!
and Quantum Computing (because he likes the word "data", probably because he hears me say it in work meetings).
Translation:
work meetings = breakfast or lunch
I do have brunch with my kids every day, but why would I say "data" during it? We're still on Spock.
That kid is getting wrinkles on his brain just from the smell of the book.
Woa! Does that mean you've already covered the basics of C? If they ever happen to get bored, try some elementary boolean logic, binary arithmetic or electricity.
See that look on the baby's face, pure terror. The correct response.
My kids all daily drive linux. I don't treat it like it's weird or special. It's just the preferred OS of the house.

My man! My family just has no say in what OS weβre having at home.
Let us just briefly recapitulate the 27 most important compiler flags for 32bit x86 architectures.
That kid is gonna be such a homeschooler.
Amen!! Partner.
