Thank Torvalds, that i dont need to Assembly
- You'd be forced to learn Assembler because for some reason that's the German translation of Assembly.

Where do you get those socks? Asking for a friend.
- Aliexpress. Had to search for extended 80cm ones since I'm tall though
Woah you have the devilsh arm warmers! They look so good on you!! <3
- Thanks :3 I'm thinking of extending the look with more goth accessories
  
  Ooh you gotta get that belt and those weird chains maybe... But mostly the belt... Cuz imma get one too
VSC? For ASM? Just use vim
- VSC works for me -> VSC is not broken -> don't fix it
  
  Kinda off topic but do you have any experience with vs codium? And more soecifically with a c++ - workflow there? Cause the microsoft-c++-package is not available there and I never figured how to set it up so debugging and everything works in the gui and not just the terminal
- VSCodium + NVIM plugin for me
I never learned assembly in school. I kinda want to learn it now
- Turing complete is a fun game* if you also want to learn why assembly is the way it is as you make a whole process from scratch.
  
  *It's more of a nicely packaged interactice course/puzzle game

I thought all the cool kids use Arch?
- I'm not interested in having my OS as a hobby. I prefer it as a functional tool that lets me do things with minimal effort required. Not hating on arch, just not my thing
  
  I wouldn't say Arch is a "hobbyist" distro, just one that gives users a bit more control over the install. Maintenance is the same as with other distros once you have it set up imo. Not saying you should switch btw, if you like Mint keep trucking with it.
Serious question - is "IT" another term for engineering in some places? Where I'm from IT is like sysadmin stuff and they would never learn assembly.
- I'm in Lithuania and "IT" is often used as general term. But yeah I'm on a software engineering course, not a sysadmin one. Program systems in the faculty of math and informatics to be specific
- I would wager to bet they are in an IT degree path, something with sysadmin or networking, and taking an intro to programming class, or they are a very humble CompSci major.
Wait, ThinkVision!?

I have never seen a ThinkVision before. Is it any special, or just some monitor?
Visual Studio? Mint? Energy drinks? You have much to learn but on the right track. Code could use more comments. Is it test driven?
