What a cool challenge! I love that you coupled teaching with real potential for a (competency-based) success story outcome for them.

Oh, I've questioned everything.

I assume the cover story is that Russia just needs to pass through Belarusian airspace to get to Ukraine. But yeah, it seems like maybe something else is going on if 3 were shot down... unless the Belarusians incorrectly assessed they were from Ukraine? 😕

There is a certain strain of open source development that is nearly anti-marketing, as far as I can tell. They choose names like "gimp", "git", "frotz", "borg", "pooch", "butt", "slurm", "mutt", "snort", and "floorp".

I had some trouble with ZFS and kernel compatibility when upgrading the OS, so I switched to btrfs. It's been fine for 3 years now, including a kernel upgrade.

Mint is a great OS. I love its simplicty.

I love this approach.

Nit: "If you can find prior art that describes such a system before June 13, 2013, you could be a winner." ... 2013 is a typo I'm guessing?

I want to say this kindly--perhaps you're joking or part joking when you say "people suck in general"--but I wonder if this is more of a reflection of your outlook than people in general. I mean, we're internet strangers so I'm not exactly insulted by being one of the people out here who suck in general, but I'd like to think that if we crossed the chasm, and actually got to know each other, we'd see humanity and goodness in each other (without diminishing the reality of individual weaknesses, poor skills, and bad habits).

Cool, let's keep each other posted. You keep me off Reddit, and I'll tell you what I hear from Nirav :)

Fedora seriously impressed me when I tried it out. It was by far the most polished and stable OS I'd seen after a string of distrohopping beauties-lacking-substance for daily driving. Good choice!
