    I know a little bit of Python thanks to ren’py, and I have Linux on my Steam Deck, so… I guess I’m in transition?

    Not long before I have programmer socks and start binge watching Star Trek 👍

    Python? Where? All I see is people praising Rust here. Also, Ubuntu? That’s the most hated Linux distro on Lemmy.

      There are dozens of us! Dozens!

      My education background is nursing and social work. I’ve only ever used Windows and very surface level. I’ve never programmed anything, the closest I’ve gotten to anything technical is troubleshooting a game that I’ve modded to within an inch of its life.

      Though I’m picking up an old laptop from a school surplus next Monday to wipe and begin exploring Linux. My only other experience with Linux is the interface of my housemates NAS (which I use only to manage a plex and valheim server)

      I’m an IT tutor in a community centre - basically just teaching grandma how to close all her iPhone apps. No experience or formal qualifications needed. If you can be patient while showing seniors the basics of the devices they’ve got at home, you’re hired.

      Our organisation currently pays too much for an IT managed service provider, who doesn’t provide a comprehensively managed service, so my boss wants to end their contact and hire me as a dedicated IT management officer. My boss is 75 and is confident in my abilities because she thinks power cycling the router when the internet goes out is an amazing and high level skill, but I know enough to know how much I don’t know. But I also know I can learn.

      So maybe in a year or so I’ll understand more of the jokes on lemmy.

    I’m not a programmer either, but I am a Linux and open source user so I can at least wade through the waters, lol

      Same here. I count the days until it’s discovered that I’m just a normie who agrees with the ideology of open source, and am hanged for my crimes of not knowing what a “cron” is, thinking stdout has to do with diseases, or wanting to play video games with 0 troubleshooting haha.

        I always feel outside the club, being a robot hardware fixer. I understand a lot of high level program concepts, but my life is more about anointing machines with the holy oils and listening to the hidden knowledge of the drive belts.

          If it makes you feel better I feel the same, I was primarily a pc and networking hardware guy before my current role, which I won’t say but it’s closer to hardware than programming.

    I’m no programmer either, but switched to the penguin out of necessity, since my PC completely lost the ability to run Windows for no reason. But I vibe with KDE Plasma now, so it’s not half bad.

    (Someone tell me where I find my mounted devices as a folder pls, thanks)

      Not sure what folders they are usually in by default, but I set my mounted drives to be inside of the /mnt folder because I didn’t like wherever they were originally mounted to.

      Devices are in /dev. Bulk storage devices can be mounted anywhere on the file system, but by convention you can look up where permanently mounted drives get mounted by looking in /etc/fstab. Automatically mounted drives are usually put in /media and manually mounted devices should go in /mnt.

      Assuming you mean hot plugged devices (thumb drives and external drives) KDE mounts them under /media

      If you are expecting them to auto mount, KDE distros often don’t have that enabled by default. Though I think Kubuntu has that enabled by default now so maybe that has changed. Go to System Settings -> Hardware -> Removable Devices to adjust the automount settings defaults and per drive settings.

      If you don’t have automount enabled you probably will need to browse to them in Dolphin once to get KDE to mount the drive first.

    For representational reasons, I miss the logo of the Rust programming language, but I have the hint of an idea why the creator of the meme didn’t put it in there.
