Currently a few of the things I do or have recently done on my noob distro. Programming languages, learn or work with Julia, Python, Lazarus/Pascal (rapid GUI applications), Go, a little JavaScript/node.js. even COBOL locally or on an emulated IBM mainframe. Also maintain my website, make/edit videos with kdenlive, edit photos with Gimp. Database stuff with SQLite, MySQL on my website and a little MongoDB. And currently learning Docker. I’m so glad Linux Mint is available for us beginners!
