It's hard to get through the perception someone has of a concept, especially if they are afraid of it. One thing I found especially hard to explain are abstract concepts that don't make sense outside of the Unix world, or even the computing world. Say for example a question such as "What's a file", "What's a daemon", "What's a process", "What's a program", "What's a shell", "What's a kernel". Those all have nice answers you can simply search online but the tricky part is to actually explain them to a total beginner. Maybe you are right when bringing up operating system theories to start with. Doing a general overview of what operating systems are and their possible components to then tackle the particularities of Unix, but this is so tedious. |
