I was a teacher for some years and I absolutely understand your style of explanation. I don’t find it condescending at all! Thank you so much for the in depth guidance! Some of it I already knew, some of it I didn’t. Anyhow, a new perspective is always appreciated! :) God, Bash (GNU/Linux in general) is so much fun!
I’ll check it out.
Thank you! I will check out OpenStitch.
Thanks! Yeah, I just came to the realization that this was more about my lack of understanding of the file command than anything else.
Personally, I don’t hate this book:

It’s somewhat outdated, for instance, it still assumes that your first process is init while most of us have transitioned to systemd, but I still find to book very educational in terms of… “Linux mentality”? Give it a try! :)

Also, there is nothing noobie about Linux Mint. Everything that you can do on, say, Arch Linux, you can do on Linux Mint, with some minor adjustments. That’s what’s Linux is all about. :D

But seriously though, Arch all the way, because it teaches me about Linux and computers, because I can customize all the packages at OS install (without the need for lengthy compiling like Gentoo) and because my Steam games work flawlessly on it.
Reading this part of the Bash manual for the third time today, I think I finally understood it better, thanks to this part in particular:
In other words, whatever follows
inis half expected to result in a list of words (items), each for which command is then executed. Beyond that, I guess I’d have to simply look at the logic behind for-expressions.Thanks!
