7y

First year of my study (application development) (5 years ago).

We were finally starting getting courses on using Linux and the teacher knew I was already using it for a while so he said that I had to finish the assignment but could work on whatever I wanted next to that.

Assignment was installing a server, getting a web server up and running and compiling at least one program from source.

I setup the server in 20 minutes, wrote a script to do the rest for me and was finished in half an hour. (we got 10 weeks for this (1 hour every week officially))

Well, I was about to start doing my own shit when people started asking me for help.
Fuck it, I love helping people with the things I'm passionate about so sure!

For weeks, during that one hour, I was probably the second teacher. Got called all over the classroom and helped people with everything.

Afterwards (the course), most people said that I probably helped about the whole class pass that course and I got called the linux God etc.

From that day on, my nickname at my study, which even many teachers used was: Mr. Linux.

It felt awesome though!

And still whenever I visit that place again, one teacher always goes: Hello again, mr. Linux!

    <<I love helping people with the things I'm passionate about>>

    So.. if in class after 3 times that you explained how to install something (apt/apt-get)
    The other student still writes:
    $sudo apt istall apache2
    And says that linux is stupid. (Bacause he cannot even write correctly "install" after 10 failed bash commands)

    You can stay calm and help him again?
    ...........
    I was pretty close to let my anger explode.😤

    Mr Linuxxx! I used to get called software baba 😂🤦 which translates to software monk! 😂 Because I used to help people with rooting Android phones, had more experience using Linux & Repairing or replacing PC hardware (for free).
