“Everything is a file” is what made me start understanding linux few years ago and from there it got easier to use with each new concept.

Still this was really revolutionary to me when I first heard it. Made a bunch of things just click.

      What do you mean? This

      remoteuser@server$ nc -l -p 4444 > /dev/input/event0
      
      
      localuser@laptop$ cat /dev/input/event0 | nc server 4444
      

      doesn’t work?
