What a cool thing you guys have going here!

I am on my second day of using this operating system and while I still feel kind of like I'm a toddler walking around with a loaded gun, in that I am as ignorant as I am dangerous (to myself at least), I'm starting to look into some of the neat things you can do and I'm quite impressed!

I just wanted to make a positive post of appreciation as a newcomer to the OS!

My personal advice about fear get a second computer/virtual machine install Linux Mint on it, and there run any scripts you want and any commands you want. You will learn much faster this way without fearing you'll break your main computer.
