Linux (the Kernel) was started by Linus Torvalds. He is still Finnish citizen and holds the US citizenship since 2010. So I would clearly say it's a Finnish invention. Or citing your source: "Linux began in 1991 as a personal project by Finnish student Linus Torvalds to create a new free operating system kernel."

To give you another opinion. I think it's a better movie and a better adaption of Simulacron-3 than The Thirteenth Floor. The pacing is quite slow, yes. But if you're fine with the pacing of 2001: A Space Odyssey, this should be fine too. The effects are decent for a TV-Production in that time. The camera work is really good. (And imdb, letterboxd and rotten tomatos is with me in this opinion, so I'm with them 😁)

For rust_analyzer I use nvim-lspconfig, you can also configure it by hand, but it's less work with lspconfig.

And I would install the treesitter-grammar for rust. https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

The Plugin was archived, but it still works. You can also install the treesitteer grammar with your package manager and just activate it in nvim, if you don't want to rely on an archived plugin.

That's mostly it, for what you asked for.

I also use blink for autocompletion, but I think it's a good idea to start smaller and see what you need later. https://github.com/Saghen/blink.cmp

I did more or less your idea with kiosk mode. Everything which is not explicitly defined by nix is on tmpfs in my setup. But I don't play games on this machine, so I can't say anything to this.

I've got the idea from "erase your darlings": https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/

The same thing with btrfs: https://hanckmann.com/posts/20230104-nixos-and-erasing-my-darlings/

The whole idea is about impermanence: https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence

My first own computer was a Pentium II with 300Mhz, 64MB Memory, an Elsa Gladiac Erazor graphics card and a 4GB HDD. I got it around the year 2000, it was a used computer from the company of my parents. Before I got this one I was allowed to play on the 286 and later the 486 which my parents had in their company's office. My first mobile was a Nokia 6210 and I got it around the year 2001.

You should learn the basics of VBA, as much as I despise this language, I can tell you as a mechanical engineer myself, that you will stumble over countless excel sheets with VBA from your colleges and it's good to have at least a rough understanding of what they did. Also it's unfortunately the automation/macro language of many CAD-Systems (Catia, SolidWorks, Inventor,… to name just a few). Python with jupyter notebooks or julia with weave are also worth taking a look into it. They a both pretty good for calculations + documentation and drawing nice graphs. That's what most of my collegues do in excel with VBA, but it's much nicer to do in the two mentioned before.
