Agreed, I think it's the main thing. My parents at the very least were firm believers in using computers from an early age, so as far back as I could remember I had my own PowerMac G3. With the rad blue monitor and round mouse.
The shift to Linux is a tough one, and it just cannot happen all at once. The longer you spend in a workflow, the longer it takes to change it. If we offer our support and kindness to people when they struggle with Windows, it lends more credibility when we recommend Linux. Plus, I'm not really going to complain about another opportunity to call out when Microsoft does more dumb shit.
It's the Laptop Studio 1, and strangely enough, it's about flawless! The Surface kernel drivers are really good, and my model just so happens to have full support. The only gotcha is that howdy (Windows Hello style unlock using IR camera) doesn't really work with KDE Plasma. The touchscreen will also pick up your palm as regular touch input, but a good palm glove solves that.
Crazy to me that GUI seems to be a major focus in those situations. My IDE is most often pretty minimal, whatever it takes for me to get code on the screen, and unless I'm using the debugger, compiling and running has always been easier using a CLI. It's good practice anyway, familiarizing yourself with the shell, code for your code lol.
I've been developing professionally for almost 10 years now, and started learning very young. The circumstances were different, but I think the principles are the same. Some folks here already mentioned taking on projects that interest you, and I'd definitely agree, provided you keep them small. Something that you'll want to make can keep you motivated, and small wins keep you going. For something full stack, I'd recommend coming up with a CRUD web app (create, read, update, delete) that does something that's fun. Maybe it's a recordkeeper for a sports team, or maybe it's a rudimentary forum. That sentence makes sense, no worries. You can use python to write your backend, see if you can make an API that just handles CRUD requests and builds and runs SQL statements for your database. Then just use whatever you'd like for the front end and call that API. It's still a pretty big project depending on how new you are to this, but it's hard not to be when full stack touches everything. If you're completely new, I'd lay off and pick the front or back end to start with.
First of all, that's an amazing question. You've tackled a serious issue in car mechanics (emdash) not only is it a common issue drivers face, but it's foundational to the understanding of vehicular operations.

First, you'll need to fill the inner tube to the brim with Elmer's school glue... (continued)
Me neither honestly, I just know she seems to have a massive following of fans that will do or pay anything that she touches lmao
But it would be cool to buy some in general. I can't remember how many times I listened to one Joan Jett tape as a kid
Is it unethical? Yes. Will the other side play fair if we keep our ethics? Hell no. Playing nice in a corrupt system is fantasy and dems need to stop pretending like following the rules will win.
I don't make quite that after 8 years of doing this stuff. That being said, I dropped out of college twice. Maybe $100k of debt is what I need to close that $25k difference lol
Yeah! The midway tablet mode the SLS has varies on tablet behavior, but the transition from laptop to tablet mode works flawlessly. Those palm issues I have are easily solved by a palm glove, but X11 might work just as well. Pen support is great too. I can build Krita brushes including pressure sensitivity and even tilt angle, and the latency is unnoticable.
I don't have a Linux supported answer, but I have a Linux friendly answer! I've been using KDE Neon on my Surface Laptop Studio, and there's surface kernel drivers that work nearly perfectly! The only thing I'd say is troublesome is more Wayland than hardware (howdy recognizes IR camera but won't set up PAM login, touchscreen gets a lot of palm inputs, etc) but overall it's an amazing experience.
Not only that, but even if you manage to find a platform that isn't directly owned by them, they are payment service networks. They are there along the way to facilitate transactions and manage relationships with merchant services. There is no escaping them.
