I need to quench my thirst for knowledge and learn something new just for the sake of it.

I’ve already learned:

  • Equations and pivot tables in Excel

  • Vector graphics in Inkscape

  • Music mixing in rekordbox

  • Personal VPN on a raspberry pi 4 with OpenVPN

  • LAMP stack web hosting

  • Streaming & video capture with OBS

  • Manual & automatic backups with FreeFileSync

Things I’m open to:

  • FOSS (even beta) or free-as-in-beer software

  • A high or low learning curve

  • Tools for niche fields that I’d otherwise have no reason to learn

      Greatly recommend this approach:

      • install Evil right away for humanly motion keys

      • perhaps install Org-mode if you’re still shopping around for the perfect notes app

      • spend a few months crafting your own configuration

      • backup your whole configuration, install Doom Emacs instead, port extra stuff from your conf on top of Doom

      • finally enjoy proper quality of life in Emacs

      I second this, learn emacs and you will never bother learning any other software (because you’ll be too busy learning emacs for the rest of your life).
