Soviet Pigeon

I started with Ubuntu 7.10. I could not believe you just “apt-get install vlc” and then its done. Everything else was not that easy, but still somehow possible. I never participated in a community, but I mostly used two wiki’s. The German ubuntuuses wiki and of course Archlinux. Even with FreeBSD I looked up Archlinux Wiki often. I don’t use Arch since longer time, but their wiki is great to learn and get questions answered. So try using it often. Gentoo wiki is also great.

Also, Lemmy should be fine for questions.

Why is Go not a serious language? Programming backend stuff is great with it. Especially networking. Reading Go is not hard and in my opinion it is more easy to understand Go code you find from other programmers than Python. Companies are build on Go and people make a living from it. However you need to look into you local job market, where I live there are very few companies looking for Go developers. It is a serious language. But I don’t know much about zig, I used it once for CGO.
