Whats the learn/work program?

I started learning to program in February, which reinvigorated my love of computers. I discovered awesome new software like syncthing, and just recently started daily driving linix (debian 12) and its been great. Just little things like customizing my wall paper which i havent done for years. 2023 was a great year for me and tech.
Oh and i switched from chrome to Firefox, looks like that's been a common theme for the year!
Love all of pats music. Burn the Earth, Leave it Behind is a highlight in an incredible body of work.
I started using powershell more because it comes with a lot of bash aliases out of the box. Besides a brief period of using ubuntu in like 2006 because my windows install got corrupted, its my first foray into linux. Ive been daily driving debian 12 and i love it. I feel like getting used to the lingo helped ease the transition.
But if you actually use powershell for more than simple tasks and take advantage of its object oriented nature, it might make the switch harder. If you plan to use the command line as little as possible i think the switch is trivial. Your biggest worry is going to be analysis paralysis with all the options, but i just installed debian with the defaults and trying out different desktop environments is really easy and i havent yet had a problem that wasnt simple to solve with a google search.
i like typing arcane looking things into neovim though
jk (kinda) you're probably right. it wasn't included in my distro and i didn't want to download a whole executable for something so minor but it will probably come in handy so I just did.
Im curious to check it out in case anyone wants to DM me an invite code.
got one! thanks lemmy
I never got into Spotify. Soulseek is all I need.
Ive been using startpage lately
Can you add links to each section at the top so you dont have to scroll past ones you might not be interested in?
this response is based on the few paragraphs available to non medium members
The second paragraph mirrors my experience with coding to a tee. I may have forgotten to turn off the oven while i was absorbed in Pycharm at least once, and ive certainly given a triumphany "fuck yea" with a raised fist worthy of a freeze frame ending to an '80s film upon succesfully accomplishing a task.
During a recent difficult time in my life, learning to code was the only activity i found that gave me substantial relief from the stress.
Thats really awesome, wish i could find something like that in the states. Good luck!
