  • I won’t nitpick how Linux is a kernel not an OS but how is it not widespread? It just runs basically the whole internet…

    The reasons the average Joe doesn’t use it for their desktop are convenience (Windows and macOS come pre-installed) and that you can run into technical issues due to bad support by hardware vendors. The latter is a chicken/egg problem and will possibly never be resolved.

    Anyway, I disagree it’s due to the number of choices - we don’t need monopolies. Your grocery store is full of different brands of cheese and all of them still stay in business.

    learning programming is BORING

    Then it’s not for you. No shame in that. I don’t understand the notion that everyone is supposed to be a coder now.

    If anything, the low-level coding part is something AI models may well make obsolete relatively soon. Unlike any craftsmanship - why not learn masonry or carpentry instead?

    Hit F12 in your browser and start hacking in the console - search for Javascript tutorials to get started. Everything else needs some kind of setup and the js ecosystem is by far the largest.

    Before deciding your profesional path, first figure out if it’s really for you. The software industry is huge and offers very many different jobs. Good coders still are nerds though that love logic puzzles and tinkering and require quite a bit of frustration tolerance. It’s not for everyone.
