I can not tell if this is an insult towards me (being a "newbie") or whether this meant something else...
No, not at all, I simply see my reflection in you. Many times those of us who have been in this "business" for many years complain that there is no generational replacement, that people are not interested in following in our footsteps and that the day we leave it will become a wasteland, but then when someone arrives they are scared away because they do not agree with our ideas or our way of acting, and that is a hypocritical attitude. There is nothing wrong with being a newbie either, we've all gone through that point (I'm still going through a lot of things myself). And if, being a newbie, you live in fear of "messing up" you will neither integrate nor learn because you will throw in the towel before you start. This is a mailing list to discuss our favorite distribution. No one should be afraid to do so freely, regardless of how crazy their ideas may sound initially. As long as the rules are respected, feel free. And if someone doesn't like this it's very easy, mute the thread or simply unsubscribe. And well, I'm not saying anything else because I'm going completely off topic and that's not respecting the rules ;-) Greetings
