I did and after entering the field I had chosen after graduation, I quickly left. It wasn’t for me. What paid for school, however, was fixing computers, electronic word processors, and building and selling PC’s. Bought an Apollo system to learn Domain Aegis UNIX on and checked out every book on UNIX I could get my hands on. When Linux arrived, I got in at Linux 0.99pl13. I got a job and paid to continue my education. So yeah. When I started there wasn’t a community of enablers.

Helping others learn when they are not willing to google, read, visit a library, etc, is called enabling, not helping. Helping those that try and get stuck is helping.

Learn the difference.

Depends on the topic. If enlightening them means I am enabling them to harm themselves, then no. Helping people waste time gaming and draw even more Steam users and their Windows crapware games towards tainting the purity of Linux is harming them and Linux, so no. No helping that.
