That sounds super cool, as I said I kinda hate computers I only turn on my desktop every now and then to play games or make music on it. You should definitely submit the patch. Is there a hacker space in your area you could maybe meet other people who like computers and that can also lead to career opportunities. Also you could meet other people who want to hack on your crazy ideas with you. Maybe start one if there isn’t one in your area.

The only reason I ever got into any computers/electronics was because I wanted a weird groove box, it turned out I just hated everything about it. Now I have a bunch of hardware lying around. I always hoped some one would help me build it but people were always just like you’re smart you can do it yourself. Since I just kinda hate doing it though it’ll never get done. Or maybe I’ll manage this school I’ve signed up to and it will be my graduation project let’s see. The untreated adhd sounds horrible, you should try treat that asap.

Anyways I hope my random advice is useful
