Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.

I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

    .sh is Linux’s version of .bat. There is no .exe as executables typically don’t have a file extension. This is all assuming you know your file extensions in Windows.

      Right, I have written a few bash scripts, so I know about the .sh file extension. Though, I’m wondering if changing the username to .sh is problematic and, if so, why? Is it something the OS can’t handle, or would it just be some sort of gimmicky username?
