Big language which is not yet considered to be "powerful" enough by the guy who rewrites the whole kernel in C++. Slow compile time, high memory usage.
C is a small language and it is as powerful as assembly.
But learning any programming language can still get your mind up.
(Windows user that switch to linux and then say: we only need partition for / and /home are also enemies. Windows user that have switch to linux and use root for every task are enemies.)
OP called users of the software stupid, not the software.
(in my opinion the software is stupid, and users of stupid software are stupid :) because desktop environment is inefficient compared to pure window manager, and keyboard-based wm)
Why we have to care much about software usage. This is the current issue of linux communities, which decrease user qualities.
Our enemy Microsoft and other "big tech" laugh people like these. They are using linux just like they use windows, even bring the bad, flawed windows culture to linux.
Well, I’m not a Linux user and I say that as well. Nvidia does not just not care about Linux, they actively try to act against their open source driver implementation
If I were you, I'd learn C instead. Rust is not used (much) on low level development. Currently C is not replaceable.
I've heard the authors of C said: "C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book". But it is so powerful, simple, and fast.
You already have a course on Rust, for "basic programming", so keep going on the course for a while. Learning any programming language can make your mind. And it is a course, so I'd expect the authors of the course to familiarize you with definitions.
We can tell people that is going to buy a new computer to avoid nvidia :)
It’s Linux desktop contributers problem to fix.
We can't write drivers for platforms that we don't have documentation. linux desktop contributors dropping support for nvidia entirely is not a bad decision, though
