I am an electrical engineer, but please don't hold that against me. I have experience writing code in many languages from direct machine code in hex (IBM SYS 360 Model 20 to Motorola 68000) and esoteric things like Lisp. However, C or it's children were not among them. Though lately (05/2025), with the help of a neighbor, I am starting to use C++. I need real multi-threading for some of my projects and Python can't do that. It's taking be a while to find an IDE that I can get setup and working. They all seem to assume you know all about it and know exactly what to fill for the many parts of setup. But I've ordered a book I hope will help. I'll still be using Python for the cases where I don't need muti-threading. Finding and using libraries for python is so easy!
I abandon that west coast OS back at F16 time frame and have been a Fedora user ever since. I joined the QA group about sometime after that. This has worked out nicely for me. I have certainly learned a lot and I like to think I have been helping in a small way. I am really grateful for Fedora Workstation, I only do some testing and submit a bug from time to time, but for me and the things I do since I switch at F16 it has always been good and keeps getting better.
