I am definitely not. I can muddle through the same as you, but I am only a few hours in to really playing with Ubuntu. Since I have been working on DNN and thinking about Open source concepts, I have come to like the concept. I hope I can learn more of Linux. I do not think it is too late for us. In fact, an earlier might have been too early.
