It’s more akin to clicking on every ad you see on the web. Sure you might not get a virus from lots of them but the risk is real and it’s good practice to just not do that. It’s a real and frequently exploited attack vector, it’s just good practice for anybody with a semblance of concern about digital security
There are tons of ways to exploit a computer via a flash drive like that. Lots of viruses exist that would immediately install themselves upon the drive getting recognized. Famously Iran had a nuclear power plant taken offline by a random flash drive somebody plugged in, but aside from state level threats they can also just steal your financial details and personal info
I went to university at 21, I have a friend who started at 24. I have another friend who joined the trades as an electrician at 23. It’s normal and ok to still be figuring it out at that age. Don’t let anybody make it feel otherwise. Do what you’ve gotta do to get by while you put the pieces in place, and try your best to follow either your passion or your interests while forming your path.

I’m a NixOS and Sway person, with all my configs and theming set up reproducibly. I have so much confidence to experiment and tweak to my heart’s content when I can roll everything back at any time, or stand up a new system in minutes with the exact same configuration. I’m also mostly CLI based, nvim, ncspot, all of that fun stuff
I’m in a highly affected area but luckily we’re more used to snow and ice here. But it’s gonna be a mess regardless. There’s effectively no state support in place, and the mutual aid orgs I work with up here are so small and shoestring that they can really only coordinate some small relief with basic supplies. The shelters aren’t opening up their doors any more than normal, the charities remain stingy. It’s every person for themselves and I hate it
In the broadest sense of the term ”AI” yes, but people don’t mean general ML or NN approaches when they say that, it’s all LLMs and diffusion models. I hate the term for how meaningless it is
I use proton and it’s been solid
