Just like how you would not expect anyone to learn how computers work by using a video game console, so too should you not expect people to learn how computers work by using modern GUIs. They are so easy they suck the learning right out.

I remember in CompSci the professors had to explain for like two weeks and with full pages of instructions and presentations how to set up Filezilla so they could us VScode on windows for programming and then moving these onto the linux machine to compile and test. Love me Vim

This isn't the worst thing ever if you're trying to convince COMP 101 students to compile shit on Linux. I think I just set up WinSCP to autosync onto my university computers because the TA's would require my work to compile on university machines.
I had my own 'tistic distro I used for development.
Nowadays there is just Windows Subsystem for Linux, tho, if you're trying to get zoomzooms past the kiddie pool.

Tbf you need a comp sci degree to compile anything in linux. "What's that, your kernel is slightly newer and the makefile specifies exact kernel versions? Frick you, compilation fails."

this gives me flashbacks to the beginning of CS 201 where it worked on my machine but not the school mothership machine

Tell me about it.
I think I gave up and started using Cmake at one point. And then it would fail because the university's version was years behind...

they also fricked up later by teaching them to use nano first, like "oh use nano filename to edit it! And we can do this if we want to program in linux"
before they began trying to drill them into using vim. They didn't know how to so they all used nano or doing the vscode-filezilla method while I was in the corner like
"vim sho good"

It was so strange
watching 
my boomer

that cant google

Been there done that.
The trick is to make your parents realize that they have been infected with the CONSOOM virus and they need to fight to regain their individuality.

I still use the RUN menu from throwbacks to Windows 3.1 and actually type directory paths into the address bar in explorer, plus I use shortcut keys for everything pretty much. Zoomer chick in the IT department was amazed when she was working on my machine installing fonts which I'm not allowed to.

So apparently fonts need admin level access to add or delete because changing them or deleting the default fonts can cause the whole OS to take a shit and be useless. Like if I deleted Ariel font the whole OS would shit.

Fonts are executable code themselves, they aren't just the shapes of the letters, true type and open type fonts contain code on how to antialias the letters and how to kern them correctly.

Windows 8 was an attempt to turn a desktop into an iPad and I'm glad it failed. Zoomers have no concept of folder hierarchy. It's among the many reasons I love android -- I use the file browser to do almost everything.

Plus any Android issue can be quickly solved by looking up problem +adb shell and then clicking Translate from Portuguese.
