Depending on definitions, I’m either a millennial or gen-z. Some of my team mates are awesome and know everything there is to know about computers. Others have knowledge gaps that make me question whether they went to uni. They’re also the same people who commonly don’t know how to find answers to things. They’re also the people proclaiming the loudest about the greatness of Gippers
It’s funny how bubbles can change so much. In my personal experience, most Gen Z people know their way around computers and how to fix stuff. I regularly help my millennial sister with stuff like that.
You just have to practice more! Though while I’m pretty good with computers Linux does still scare me a little too, I have a habit of poking around where I’m not supposed to and Linux is more than happy to let you break things
This is how I am for the part (including most people who aren’t computer enthusiasts or CS degree holders). I know my limits on what I am willing to do with command lines because I don’t have time to memorize all that shit.
i figured gen z would start fixing my computer once i hit my current age (41); turns out i dont know any gen z’s that understand how computers work.
im really tired of being everyone’s tech support :(
I know of one, and it’s my kid. And they’re just as frustrated as I am about how little their peers know about computers
i did the world a favor and decided to not have kids. sadly, this also means i am unable to hand down a generation’s worth of computer knowledge, heh.

No generally Gen z is not afraid of tech but doesn’t know how it works.
41 myself and the future scares me for too many reasons, this definitely being one of them.
I am Gen Z, I can copy paste commands from online forums into the terminal, then proceed to fuck shit up. 🫠
(Don’t ask me to type commands from memory, I’d rather use windows spyware than deal with command line torture)
