Hello! I’m an 18-year-old trans girl from Mexico. I am a big fan of Linux and everything open-source in general. I am big into Rust and C as well. Video games and music are also interests of mine.

Feel free to say hi!

  • Yeah the book has you do web server stuff which I did find useful for learning async a bit although I think in practice most people use crates like tokio rather than implement their own parallelization. I would def recommend graphics for a project though. Its fun because the results of your work are very visual of course lol and it kinda exercises all of the skills youre learning depending on how much you get into it and try to optimize.


  • Im not sure if I’m over it quite yet lol but it’s a very feature rich language so there’s still a lot to learn. Before I learned Rust I used C which made some things easier to understand especially in regards to how the borrow checker works and why it works that way. For learning rust I used the rust book and I’ve looked at the rust book for design and rust by example at times too. After doing the book I just started on some of my own projects and that’s usually how I learn best. In C my first big project was to make a kinda basic graphics engine with OpenGL so I’m doing that in Rust now but with WGPU. So my advice would just be to start a big project to practice all your skills and make sure you understand everything. For me everything is easier in the context of putting something into practice. Let me know if you want to anything else!






  • That’s a long story and quite tragic but basically there was a few very large issues that were preventing me from working properly and some strange hardware problems that weren’t present in other distros so I decided to switch at the end of the day. I want to put it on an old laptop and turn it into a server though because I did like nix for a lot





  • Yeah for sure it def has the out of the box experience I think Windows and MacOS users are used to. It works really well with KDE for all GUI updates and package installation too so its like Windows update and Windows store if they were good. Although I have to say after doing things the linux way so long it feels weird not to use the terminal so much lol.
