That's pretty cool. I love recursion a lot, got it on the brain. One of my favorite examples of recursion is when it is used to solve for fibonacci numbers.
I love BOTW because it was the first of its kind I came in contact with. TOTK feels like they came in and shored up every little snag I felt in BOTW. TOTK also now makes me feel like every cubic inch of Hyrule is full of story, detail, and life. TOTK feels like a lived-in world, with far more NPCs present to make it feel more like a living world and less like a post-apocalyptic deadland full of tiny settlements that Link has to grind through.
You're usually fine for stuff like random apps and adware, but it will likely still try to push Microsoft specific stuff on you. Edge is unfortunately still included with this method, but for me it is just a glorified browser installer ;D
God, I hate bloatware. Btw, free tip. When installing Windows, you can avoid installing a lot of bloatware and the need for a Microsoft account by installing it without an internet connection.
It took me several months at a rather slow pace, following along with rustlings. It's definitely worth being thorough though, it has been useful knowing what I do now when I'm working on my projects. A good follow up would be building your own project, preferably something you'll use yourself.
Interesting, I'll have to look into that.
