    Ah, the easy days of being an obnoxious asshat while mum and dad buy your expensive tech for you.

      When I was that, I became a Linux user the moment I realized I can’t just use XP or 2000 (what was on our home PC) on a laptop coming with 7, cause no drivers. Some literacy followed.

      What I really felt bad about - everybody around carrying that expensive tech without any understanding of it, as if it were normal to use a portable personal computer for Instagram, Facebook, making photos etc. Like hitting nails with a microscope.

      It’s actually become less disgusting today. Back then (around 2012) normies would aggressively behave as if progress looked like Instagram, Facebook etc, with their dumb screen poking, and my idea of how computing would be cool is something stupid and old and imaginatory , as if they had any understanding to evaluate that.

      OK, just a little flashback.
