After you figure out how to properly partition your disk, you learn how the entire setup is actually quite simple Basically, Mount partitions, pacstrap to install the base system, generate fstab, chroot in, create a unprivileged user and add it to sudo, setup grub, configure internet, exit chroot and unmount, reboot into the newly installed system, configure X11/Wayland to your liking
KDE makes my laptop sound like it is going to take off
I use Fedora with XFCE, what am I?
Siligone
Kill that with fire
Yeah, I tried to reboot, kernel's gone
sudo make guitar
why my cursor gone?
XFCE. it's dumb, simple, it gives you a panel to access your programs, your desktop icons, and nothing else. I just want my computer to let me do my things, not have a built-in 'brew a cup of coffee' button
Fuck I knew it was made with OOP
Rust is good. Not perfect. The borrow checker sometimes can be a pain(cant use immutable reference because already using a mutable reference...), compile times are abysmal.
But the language itself is really solid. It actually gives me similar vibes to using C/C++ but without having to fight the compiler or keep fiddling with CMake for 10 hours just so that it detects that one lib you're trying to use.
Surprisingly, Rust borrows some inspirations from Python, so it doesn't feel that foreign and alien, but it still has a learning curve to it, specially with all the different types (eg. u8/i8, u16/i16/f16, u32/i32/f32, u64/i64/f64, usize, &str vs String, etc) But if you ever spent any amount of time with any other language that is on a similar level than C or C++, you'll be in quite familiar territory
Only thing that I can tell you that you'll have a whole paradigm shift once it clicks with you, is the use of Structs, impl's for abstration and traits. Once those clicks with you, the way you approach your code really shifts
