kamen5881228dExplain it once and they might actually catch on, otherwise they'll repeat to no end what they've heard somewhere.

theKarlisK7874228dWell you certainly knocked down my expectations for future generations by two pegs out of twelve (it was already at eight)

That's right.
Tell them once, every other time, beat them with a book.
Adjust the number of hits every time they ask. -
kamen5881227d@metamourge Apparently you're too far away from asking stupid questions yourself. Relax, everybody has to start somewhere.

As someone who uses UNIX and UNIX-like systems on a daily basis, and someone dealing with computer support in a school, I experience so, so many issues, many of which others have already ranted about.
For no reason at all, I find it incredibly frustrating how many high school students' understanding of sudo is limited to this:
Student: Hey, isn't sudo the minecraft command
Me: Erm
Student: You know, the one skeppy uses... to troll players? Anyway, you're doing it wrong. There should be a slash before you run the command
Me: aaargh.
and so on. Happens probably every 10th time I invoke sudo.
I mean, really? Surely these kids, with all their complaints and lines: hacking into the mainframe/whats the admin password/why did you block my VPN/ and so on, would know what sudo is. But NO, they just don't seem to get it. Sometimes I lose my hope in the futures of these kids.
