  • I mainly use Python, so my workflow is the same on every OS: Neovim and a shell, usually one of each in a vertical split. This transfers nicely to remote SSH sessions too, and even works in Termux on my phone!

    Have you investigated whether it’s possible to test your cross-compiled builds in Qemu, rather than copying them to the host?

    What are your hobbies? Most people struggle to learn programming until they find a project that they are interested in. You mentioned an interest in music. Perhaps you could try Sonic Pi, which is a live coding environment where you can create music from code. It comes with a built-in tutorial, and a bunch of pre-written example code-music. It’s built with the ruby language.




  • The first step is to make sure your hardware is supported. I’ve found the linux hardware database to be invaluable getting new systems configured. The site is overwhelming at first, but the easy path is to just click the big ‘Probe your computer’ button and follow the instructions. Once you’ve done a probe, you’ll get a web-page with a listing of all your computer’s hardware and the support status. Even better, you get links to additional drivers or kernel modules required to get stuff working which isn’t supported out of the box.
