Basically someone dared me, and I was like

Yeah. That was me. I thought you needed a push...

Really started using Linux a while before Windows 98 was released. First distribution I really liked was Debian 1.3, and I kind of stuck with it since. Well, Debian anyhow, not 1.3 :P

Yeah. Uhm. Above post was a joke BTW.
Anyways, those users probably don't realize that we wouldn't be where we are now weren't it for Proton.

And Proton wouldn't be where it was if it were not for the decades of development on Wine. I remember when Wine could barely run notepad. It has come along a LONG way. But native and supported would still be a more favored choice for most than a Proton wrapped and supported by Valve.

Every generation thinks that of the following generations. It's Progress, in a way. It's natural to want a better life for our children, but to also be annoyed(?) by the better quality of life we've given them. And yes, with Great changes in our technology and society, we have to adapt how we teach and learn and new things come and old things phase out.
That doesn't mean the challenges aren't there or aren't any less difficult. Just new. After all, it would say much about our generation if we couldn't conquer our own and pushed it down to our kids, wouldn't it?

Im in almost the same boat as you..... I am in my 40's and I am still as mature as I was in my teens..... I never stopped being the class clown as you can tell from my stupid one liners I post in the news articles...
My old dumb phone never leaves the house...... When I leave the house I want to be disconnected from the Internet and the people who are not physically around me.... And being harder to track is an added bonus...... I spend enough time on the internet sitting in front of either my Desktop PC doing my own thing or the companies laptop working from home (the laptop still uses Windows.... But its not my laptop so I cant touch it).....
I have never used Facebook or Twitter or Instragram or any of that social media crap..... 1. because I dont have any friends so I never got peer pressured into it (which I think is how it became so popular) and 2. My life is so boring even Randy Newman couldnt be bothered to sing a song about it so why would I want to bore anyone else with it???....... The added bonus is that my job is always safe since there are no old tweets or facebooks posts to drag up from years ago to get me cancelled......
As for passing on my knoweledge.... Well theres not much to pass on..... And even if there was there is no one to really pass it on to.... I have no kids and never want any...... And because of that ive been single for nearly 20 years......
You cant teach an old dog new tricks....... But you can them new stupid one liners and a new operating system...... I am living proof of that

I am pretty much in the same boat you are, but don't mind teaching others, and actually do have friends. 😜
