If I were to be stranded on an island and have only one option for an Operating System and a collection of bare minimum software to go with it, this would be it.
I tried out knitting as a new hobby for the first time. My partner picked it up a while ago and I decided to have her teach me so I could get a taste of what to expect.
I realized how slow and concentrated of a process it is, which is also the newbie talking in me. Watching her do it is like watching a professional chef cook, and I hope I reach to that point with practice. Regardless, as a newbie, I wanted to quantify the difficulty I feel personally (this is obviously different for everyone, and it is only my first day).
Even though I am not exactly there yet, I often like to classify myself as a Libre Source Developer. Let's get into this terminology first.
Libre Source, for the most part, is very much in parallels with Open Source Development: i.e., people can see the source of your code, fork it, compile it, and distribute it. There exist different licenses that lay down the permissions for what most users can do with it. The most popular, in the Open Source world, is the MIT License
