How is it like to be a kernel developer or a Linux systems dev?

Hey everyone! So my eyes are currently set in Computer Engineering for College.. I was browsing for the possible jobs I can choose that are versatile and can actually be stable even for a decade.. I currently don't want to pursue any AI or Robot related jobs.. but while I was browsing, I found out that you can be a Kernel Developer/Linux Systems dev after Comp En. I grew interested in it because: it sounds fun, and it gives a challenge for me...knowing I'll fail miserably just to get there. I'm still a complete beginner to the tech industry.. but for me to be sure if I should get that job in the future, I just wanted to ask this in this subreddit.. so yeah! You can also humble me if my thoughts sound childish or what, lol.

A story I'm making.. just want critique and advice

Hey everyone, I know my reputation in this subreddit isn't really good.. especially the recent post I've just made regarding that ARG.

But I'm making a story titled "The Price of Being a Self Conscious Person" I just wanted to share this improv of mine to see people's opinions on what works here and what's not. Thank you :)

ARG I'm writing..what's missing here?

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this to get some feedback.. the story is basically about a guy who wants to live forever and a guy who wants to end himself.

I know the subject is very common but that's my main goal is.. to try to make a "common subject" into something unique.. I feel like I'm rushing lots of things here but at the same time, I'm not sure. any feedback is appreciated, thanks :)

Hey everyone, if you stumbled on this post thinking if you should install Ubuntu.. yes I think you should and I'm not glazing here's why.

  1. Ubuntu is such a good OS.

Man! if you're using Windows, you're definitely missing out on Ubuntu, I was a Windows user for a pretty long time.. not really knowing anything about Linux or Ubuntu because I didn't care about them, but then one day I had this laptop that was so cheap and so bad that it couldn't even run Windows properly and it kept crashing. but that's when I made a Reddit post saying my laptop had been stuck on the Aptio Utility Setup for a year now. and I was wondering what should I do.. and the comments had sadly criticized me because I didn't know anything about computers (no hate) and I realized I had to install an OS. so I did some digging to see what would be a good OS that I can install on my potato laptop.. and saw "Ubuntu" the OS's storage is pretty low.. I think around 6 GB by the time this post gets uploaded? and I installed the OS on my laptop and I was surprised.. because I wasn't expecting the interface and the UI to be like this.. I thought it was something VERY different from Windows but it actually wasn't. I've tested it for a couple of days now, and I'm glad to say that everything just works fine now.. no crashes and everything, unlike how Windows did last year. I promise you won't dissapoint.

Now why did I say Ubuntu is fun? well it's not because of how good the OS is.. but it drives your curiosity.

Now, I've been using Google Gemini for these projects (I know.. I'm sorry guys) because I didn't wanna risk my laptop or anything..

and there were two ideas that struck me:

Make a fade in display when my laptop turns on while the Windows Vista sound effect plays at the same time.

and making an "easter egg" where there's a 1% chance a notification will pop up saying: "You found an easter egg! Do you want to listen to it?" and after clicking Yes.. the audio will automatically be played (if you're wondering what the audio is.. it's Belupacito by Beluga.. I'm making a video about it on YouTube pretty soon) now I know what you're thinking.. THIS SEEMS SO CHILDISH! and yeah, you're definitely right since I just realized that now, even though it feels like it isn't.. but stick with me okay?

now let's focus on the fade in.. it was genuinely hard.. not very HARD, it's not like I even made the code in the first place.. but Gemini basically made it for me.

and here's the exciting part..

because the fade in wasn't so very optimized, I was sent to the YTTP (or something like that?? I forgot)

but basically it was just a black screen with your name, basically asking you to log in with your password. and I don't know why but it felt really good.. like the sudden change of vibes. maybe it was just me but I was having LOTS of fun.. even though I was probably dealing with something that can potentially danger my laptop (hopefully not)

our goal was to basically temporarily delete both that easter egg And the fade in since Ubuntu kept crashing BECAUSE of the script (because it wasn't so optimized) and here we are.. where I still don't know how to work with that..

TLDR; If you're wanting to find a good and actually interesting OS, use Ubuntu. Ignore the Terminals and codes or whatever people talk about that pushes you to not use Ubuntu because you can literally just learn all about them from Ai's (like how I did) or websites.

just be careful if you want to have the same path as me. DO NOT FOLLOW INTO ANY TUTORIALS ON YOUTUBE OR ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW THEY'RE VERIFIED. I'd recommend you to use something like an AI firsthand so there would be less risk. And finally.. keep your curiosity running.. because sometimes.. curiosity doesn't always kill the cat.. it drives them insane (in a fun and good way)

Hi I'm Nate 15M and I know this question sounds like I'm just trying to vent.. but you can leave this post if you don't want to hear my "sad excuse"

Every time whenever I'm with a group, or with a bunch of people.. I feel like people don't see me.

I mean obviously I'm there physically, but they aren't really trying to talk about me even just a little every time we have conversations.. and that includes from my friends too.

It just drives me insane whether I'm just a narcissist and I really want attention.. or not it's confusing sometimes..

It's not like I WANT to be talked about every single time, even being included in the conversation would be enough for me at least..

But at the same time, I guess it's normal since I'm the quiet type, I never really speak unless I'm with my very close friends. I'm very dry when someone wants to speak to me, I never knew what to say next cause I always overthink that if I ask "how they've been" I'd feel I'm just trying to pry in their life.. if I try to talk too they'd just ignore me and continue their conversation. So I posted this message here asking if there's just something wrong about me or it's just normal and everyone can get through it easily.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good day.🙏
