- mseidl 8y agoMy advice to you... jump in the water and you'll learn to swim faster. My Linux skills were always lacking a little. (I use to dual boot Windows/Linux) But then I just said fuck it, I was getting tired of Windows. So, I removed Windows and then my Linux skills got way better much faster. I wanted to reduce how much I used the mouse. Unplug it and move it to another room. Boom. It's quite some pain in the beginning but in the end you'll be faster.
- gerbilly 8y agoDon't rush through tasks, use them as an exercise to learn new things. When I was starting out, I deliberately took the time to truly master as many of the UNIX tools as I could. When I would run into a problem like this, I would use it as an exercise to get better at them. In most cases, especially the first time I used each tool, it took much longer, but it paid off in the long run.
