My #Linux metaphor:
GNU/Linux is the "kernel." Think of it like the engine of a car. All Linux distributions use that kernel or a version of it.
Distributions are when you build the car around that engine: wheels, brakes, lights, etc.
The desktop environment is the interior of the car: seats, heating, radio, steering wheel, dashboard, etc. A Toyota interior is different than a Nissan.

It's quite hard these days to just be "someone that can program" but not a "full time programer" as apparently you're always lacking a lot of knowledge for knowing where you'd even start to tamper with something.
In many cases even if you already by coincidence found the function you want to modify.
Do others that aren't full time programmers and wanting to fix or contribute to #opensource projects feel the same? Or is this just me?

Oh another day another issue within an #opensource project for which my first thought was "it should be easy to just look at the source code, maybe add some debug output and figure out why it is misbehaving" just to be immediately followed up by "I don't even know where the main method is nor how the frameworks involved even remotely work" and "how does this stuff even compile, even without changes?"
and in this case in addition also a "where even is its source code?!?"
This case #Thunderbird

I’ve listed servers + PC components from my #IT adventures on my eBay store. Every bit of support helps while my family and I recover from my layoff earlier this year. Perfect for #homelab, #linux, and #opensource. Please share with your #ITCommunity https://buff.ly/K0ctZ8W
