Let's be honest. If you haven't broken your bootloader at some point in time, you haven't experienced Linux.

[-] PennyJim@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

As a Linux noob, the only time I've broken my bootloader was updating my distro after ignoring it for a year. I ignored the update because it broke a badly made script badly solving the complex problem caused by a simple problem that I ignored the solution to.

I finally fixed the simple problem because I needed to upgrade a library to get a modded launcher working so I could play with my friends. And I was thinking of rewriting the firmware for my macro keyboard to be better structured anyways.

I went back to the old firmware with a simple fix as the new one has a weird bug that if I hold two "even" keys at once, I get spammed down signals for the higher order one.

Linux has been fun!

I mean if you know how to write firmware you don't really count as a Linux noob, regardless of your lack of experience with linux

Does writing Arduino code really discount me from being a Linux noob? I still think I need to learn python to implement my macros rather then rely on GOME keybinds and bash scripts.

I also need to learn how to make a GNOME theme. I just want the default but with a different accent color. I used to use an extension, but it's out of date and doesn't convince pop-os to be in dark mode.

Damn... Every time I start talking about my experience I just start rambling about barely connected things.

To me, noob implies not only lack of experience but also lack of skill, so yeah in that sense I would say it does discount you somewhat ^^

Do learn python, you'll pick it up super easily and will be amazed by the simplicity of the syntax (but perhaps also slightly grossed out by the duck typing and use of whitespace as syntax)
