I have a ok laptop but its not the greatest, i want to have something such as a creative outlet that i can do in a simple manner? Ive thought about many of things but im unsure if i should try them? Im stuck inside alot and im bored alot aswell. I just want something to do other than light gaming and watching youtube.

What would you advise and why so?

    Learn Rust or another programming language. Useful to know something to expand your ability.

      Learning rust as your first programming language sounds like a great way to learn to hate computers haha.

        Yes or your second or third too :)

        If you wanna start out I’d say JavaScript (or typescript) if your best bet because you can make pretty much anything with it (websites, desktop apps, cli apps, servers… anything you desire).

        Yeah, that’s a good way to quit right away. Honestly, learning something which they can use to quickly build something tangible is the best way to get bitten by the programming bug. Making a web page or something like that.

        Haha, tbh it’s just fresh in my head. Currently teaching myself it. My first language was qbasic.
