  • Depends on your circumstances. Imo, if I could go back in time I’d take a year off to work side gigs/volunteer to get a better idea of what I want to pursue and how to go about doing that. I felt really rushed into college and I regret the school I picked.

    Also a lot of stress related mental illnesses can pop up in college and that was the case for me and several people I knew. I’m not saying this to discourage you, college is great, but the jump from high school to sudden independence is really jarring for a lot of people. If you are concerned about mental health, consider looking into that.

    Then, start with community College because it’s cheap and you can finish most of your core classes, then transfer from there.

    If your parents give you shit I recommend making a plan and presenting them with it to show that you will be working on yourself and you have a roadmap








  • I wanted to see what the fuss was about after windows 11 came out, because I was sick of Windows intrusive UI and shady business practices.

    I still use windows for some things, but now I duel boot to cinnamon and it is my daily desktop driver. I vastly prefer the clean interface and speed of Linux over windows, and I now play most of my games on it too. I was shocked when I realized that Elden Ring runs great, and looks better, on Linux while it was unplayable on windows at release.

    I also installed Fedora to my surface pro after a windows update made it impossible to use without severe slowdown. I’ve had my surface for 6 years and it runs great on Linux.

    The only downside to Linux is that, as am artist, the apps are limited. Blender is fantastic, Krita is catching up, but there is no way to use clip studio, harmony (toon boom, storyboard pro), or Zbrush (yes I can sculpt in blender but it is not quite there yet.)
