Well on December 1st 2017 i had never used a computer, sick of standing by and watching people earning money from crypto mining i decided i would under go one of the biggest learning experiences of my life and went with no knowledge at all and bought all the hardware i though i may need to build a mining rig, i decided then i would use Linux as the software i learnt and even though this was a lot more challenging it was well worth it,with no knowledge at all i didnt do to bad at buying all the stuff i needed and once i could get the laptop i bought at same time to learn on to successfully mine i decided to build rig,i went from day 1 reinstalling ubuntu 3 times to today changing the clock speed in the nvidia-smi to overclock my GPUs, today i have a fully functioning 8 GPU mining rig and i mine BTG , i get a coin every 4 days so im happy with my investment and love the fact i learnt everything i do on computers myself , so somewhat proud , i have found a passion for computer and software i never knew i had, i love how they work together and spend most of my free time trying to catch up on a life time of not ever bothering, i love Linux and love how i feel like i actually run my computer , not like windows feels.. as i think windows is why i never had an interest in computers, well i love Linux and cant say enough great things about it,in Australia where i am from they only teach windows based computing in primary and secondary school, i often think that children should be taught Linux aswell as this software feel limitless and in this world of contol, u feel like u have control again ©
