From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Honestly for me it was starting Young. I can say wholeheartedly that if I hadn't been working on operating Linux style systems in high school, there is no way in hell that if I tried starting it today that I would want to put myself through the hassle of not only learning it but also fixing it
So I'd have to say an energetic and perseverance and ambitious Style mindset
The other benefit of being in highschool is many people have loads of time to spend.
I honestly don't know if there is any advice I can give to someone with a fulltime job and care giving responsibilities that would be convincing.
