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!

Just make sure your data is backed up. If it comes to the worst, a reinstall just takes a few minutes.

Fixing can be more fun, constructive, and even fast. That's also worth a try.

But absolutely have backups, test those backups(!) and be ready to burn down any system when the time comes.
