And that's okay. It's been a blast exploring what amazing software other open source advocates have built. Just in this last year I built a PC, switched from windows to Linux on my laptop, started using libreoffice, prioritized F-Droid apps, learned terminal commands, built a software stack using Docker for a media library, bought a domain and networked a tunnel to access Jellyfin remotely, setup cloud sync with Immich to locally backup my photos.....and I'm sure there's much more I'm missing. If l'm ever looking for a new hobby, programming may eventually be something I look into, but for now I'll just continue to support developers that make the FOSS I have used so far. permalink fedilink source parent
