I began programming when I was 15 year old. But due to mental health issues, I basically quit at 16. After treating myself and getting back on track, I'm back now.

But I still need to know, how to get better at programming? Is it just trying to code different sorts of projects, such as ML, graphics, networking, web, etc. and trying to code projects out of my comfort zone?

Or do I need leetcode, college/courses, or other things?

I try to program at the very least 3 hours a day every day, but I still make very silly mistakes, as you can see on this post I made on r/C_Programming

These are beginner level mistakes, not something I should be doing at this stage, so I believe there is something wrong with my learning methodology...

Hyprshade is the only tool that I know that does it, but that does not work outside of Hyprland.

I wanted to use xfce4 and use my shaders (mainly color saturation + CRT) but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this, or am I mistaken?

I used to be a really avid student, but around Oct. 2023 my mental struggles got out of hand and I completely stopped studying.

 

These 3 years that I've wasted made me feel completely behind my peers, which are in Uni already. The only thing I managed in these years was graduating high school.

 

In January of this year I started psychiatry, and now I think I'm ready to get back. But no matter what I do, it seems I just can't even do a fraction of what I used to all those years ago, even though I've been feeling better...

Does Hyprland have support for those spinning loading cursors?

I really do miss them a lot and was thinking of writing my own plugin in case it doesn't have them.

But maybe I'm just missing something in my config?
