    i'm one of those kids in high school who's a developer and wants a developer's os, not a mainstream, easy-to-use, fragmented, bloated os. besides, the microkernel is more stable.

    right, that's how i was too at first. since then i've used many commands (mostly learned from tutorials and lfs), and now it's faster than using a gui.
