Does learning (I mean by studying) get harder as I get older?

(not native speaker, sorry in advance)

Hey everyone!

I (24M) was wondering how difficult will be learning in the next years that follow. I'm worried that my neuroplasticity will fail me.

When I was in school, I didn't care much about my future, I would always pass with the bare minimum grade, I never studied (or only when my parents forced me to).

And now im facing the consequences of my decisions, when I started uni, the quarantine also did.
I tried taking the online course, but I couldn't keep up, so I ended up dropping off.

2021, 2022 and 2023 were the same, but in the middle I started working for a small business doing IT stuff (june 2021-January 2023).

in the last months of 2023, I decided to pursue a technical degree, which was shorter than a engineer or a bachelor's degree.

Right now, after 3 years, im finally about to finish it, but I feel that's just not enough for today's world (Im studying programming).

Oh, I almost forgot, something that I could do during this time was to study english. I started in 2018 and just a few weeks ago I received the results of the FIRST B2 Exam (I needed just one extra point to get the C1, sad), I'm thinking of continuing studying so I reach a decent, communicational level.

The point is that I'm getting older, I feel that I still need to be learning, but I also feel that everything has become so hard that I'm afraid that, because of my age, my capacity of learning will be so slow that any progress would take too many years..

Btw, one of my dreams is to move to the USA or Canada, so im trying everything that I can... I sacrificed so many things to be where I am.

Any advice in this matter is appreciated

I always find myself scrolling through FB Marketplace looking up macbooks when I don't have a single dime lol

I hope one day I'll have the privilege to own one of those wonderful Apple Sillicon macbooks. Until then, I'll have to stick with hackintosh (with Im currently not using bc its unstable on AMD thinkpads)

does anyone know how to switch from Docker to LibVirt? (WinApps)

Hey everyone! I'm trying to switch to a local Qemu viewer, because I don't really need the "seamless app integration" since im running everything from the Windows desktop.

I asked the AI and it told me that the OS is run on a container, but when I read the logs, it turns out that is running Qemu..

Any help is appreciated!

I switched from Debian Trixie to Forky + Sid, is it a mistake?

Hey everyone! Im asking this because I started customizing my Debian installation and I didn't feel like waiting 6 months for an update.

I said , "ok let's switch to Forky so I can get the newest packages" what I did is I replaced all the names in my source list with "Forky" and changed everything from "stable" to "unstable".

What I didn't know is what actually was the stable/unstable thing, and I ended up switching to Sid, according some threads I read on Reddit.

is it a dangerous combo? Honestly I want to switch to Arch sooo bad, because I'm using hyprland and there are a lot of packages that Im building from source rn, but I don't now how, and I'm also afraid of losing my home directory in the way.

recommendations? tips? thanks in advance!
