Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it's a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the "Rust in Linux Lead" is ridiculous. I'm not saying you are harassing. But, saying it's a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn't do justice to how many devs just like rust.

I could see that backfiring though..

To my understanding role players are really what's keeping it alive. I imagine they don't want to piss them off.

No, using them is fine. It's every night that I was concerned about. They sell a special packet that you mix with water and I believe it says not to do it too often. I believe regular salt water would probably be okay.

As a programmer, same. Endless content on every programming concept, language, or niche that you can think of. Math videos often as well. Numberphile is one of my favorite math channels. They have a computer channel too.

Cool. Idk about every night. But I might do it in the allergy seasons at least 😊

Same. I don't own any subscriptions except for YouTube premium. There is an endless amount of educational content on there and it's the only content I really watch.

I am fairly certain there is a reason you shouldn't do that. Are you using just warm water?

The Pinecil uses a standard tip as well. So, you can get cheap ones on aliexpress. That'll pay for it for me tbh.

NixOS. Not in a good way. I love the idea of configuring your entire system with a configuration file. However, on my laptop I couldn't get the KDE live boot image to boot into the GUI. So, I tried the gnome live image, successfully, and used it to install KDE. I thought that I was in the clear but then sddm wasn't working. I had to disable it to get nixos to boot into KDE.

I mean, I fixed it. But, with an intel APU from 2014, I haven't had any problems with this laptop running Arch, Debian, Linux mint, or Fedora.

I see it more as a local repo. Like, setup the repo to do what you would have done manually so that you don't have to do it on multiple computers. I could be misunderstanding it though.
