Lumos!

Let me start by saying that I am a wiz when it comes to computers. I've
been programming and coding since I was about 12. I prefer to work my magic in a UNIX environment. If you're a muggle when it comes to computer magic, UNIX is an operating system. Sort of. It's actually more akin to a class of operating systems. It's what linux is based on to a large extent. You see, Linux was built to be UNIX for desktop machines initially. Sometimes people use it generically to refer to any operating system like Linux, UNIX, etc. Other times they may use it more specifically to mean exact variants. It may sound boring but it's really fun. I even named my computer mouse Scabbers after Ron's pet in the Harry Potter books. It's really fun. Sometimes I'll talk to it while I'm working as though it's a real pet. "Hey Scabbers, I'll give you some cheese if you open that .exe file." Or something like: "Scabbers, you little rascal, did you just cause my computer to freeze?"

Oh. Holy. Loser.
