    Haha your post made me reflect my journey. I had fun in college tinkering Arch Linux with i3. Now I’m an Infra Engineer (or DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE, whatver) and still do the same job—keeping the system “reliable”.

      I’ve used Linux exclusively since '06 when I was the nerdiest kid in junior high, I ran Gentoo and various tiling wms until KDE plasma 5 got good.

      I’m a coffee roaster now, and my nerdy friend that went on that journey with me is a musician and fashion model lol.

        Maybe his/her experience in keeping the system simple and beautiful helped him/her recognise the passion in art.
