    I use CMake and I hate CMake, it’s the true write once and forget language.

    The real problem is C++ missing what cargo is to rust.

    Unfortunately we’re in too deep, everyone has their preferences and they’re very strongly opinionated about them, maybe some rightfully so.

    Linux mint if you don’t plan to learn the ecosystem in detail, Manjaro if you have cold feet about wanting to learn the ecosystem, Artix, Arch or Nix if you want to learn the ecosystem.

    There’s many adjacent options but hopefully that gives you some direction

    I use arch btw but I really hate the bijillion distros we have and the fact that people act like they matter, and yes I get the irony (btw).

    When I first started I was really into KDE (I still like the kde effort) but the actual software was just bug ridden and weirdly out of phase aesthetically. Which is why we have other options like gnome and so on.

    At the same time I feel like if the Linux community could combine their efforts instead of having dozens of developers working on the same thing with slightly different philosophies we’d be miles ahead of windows and Mac.

    It’s complicated because options are good and the effort is welcome and it ultimately grows the community but I feel strongly as though when it comes to developer power and efficiency Linux is really spreading itself thin and it absolutely has to do with core philosophies differing between teams.

    I think I have strong mindfulness, I actively do not think about work or things like “what ifs” by forcing myself not to

    I always try to remember that doing something is rewarding even if the anxiety makes you scared of doing it. My self talk works for me and it might not work for you but I think to myself “wtf are you going to do all day if you don’t do the thing you wanted to do”.

    So in summary: practice mindfulness, find a way to self talk and support yourself, remember when you were anxious but tried something and enjoyed it

    I have anxiety and have always had it and my entire childhood was a catastrophe but we are good now. The good news is that I can cope with it (no fs given no matter the circumstance) and for the most part it works out because I’m passionate about my work.

    However I have worked with ppl who cannot manage their anxiety and stress and I consider myself very lucky to not be in their situation. Those guys are troopers.
