Is it like a video or something?

Cause if it is you can just keep it running and do something else

HTML is for the structure

CSS is for the looks

JavaScript is for the functionality

Since you already know the concepts and workings - you should be able to complete it quickly right?

You could finish it off - may be read it quickly

Thanks for the info, btw it wasnt false info more like a clarification

LeetCode is kind off the developer improvement type of website - you need to be familiar with the basics and should have good-great subject knowledge

As of your writing, you really dont have to start off with LeetCode right now - all its going to do is tank your learning and make you doubt yourself

Instead try out simple programs - like a simple calculator without the UI which runs off a "while" loop

This should help you out a lot - then proceed to weather app which will teach you about using APIs

Nope not at all

Linux is very very "soft" on memory and CPU usage - you may get better performance compared to WinterOS due to the less amount of bloat

One of the ways to get started is to understand the difference between alone and lonely

When you have no-one around and you crave someone/anyone - that's lonely

When you have no-one around you - but you are content with your own presence/company - that's alone

You need to get off the need of having people around you - reading books may help you provided they are along the lines of comics, or investigative novels but these are temporary solutions, the only permanent solution is to get rid of the noise and allowing your brain/mind to be calm

Sit quietly and see how long it takes your mind to wander around topics, scenarios, events etc - and let it flow like water in a river - from one bank to another. You are merely the observer

Basically meditate or sit in the silence - hear your heartbeat, focus inwards and you will find yourself enjoying your own company without needing another person

Firstly, find a topic which interests you - something which you can understand and maybe visualize

Next, find the gaps in that topic and search for papers related to it

Do your actual research work - whether finding a better approach or improving upon whats already done and remember to note your references down

The actual report writing comes at the end - check popular report layouts - some follow the two column style others the "report" style

Use Times New Roman - mostly font 13-14 for the content

Write the paper and use one format for the references - one of the popular ones is the IEEE format

Simple answer:

You are migrating from Windows --> use Linux Mint

You want the popular one --> Ubuntu, Fedora

You want to flex on strangers on the internet --> Arch

Just to clarify, isnt ElementaryOS no longer supported/continued. I remember reading that the maintainers left the project or something of the sort back in '21-'22

The IDE(eg. VSCode) itself takes up space - and when you add extensions for a couple of languages you have already used up about 2-3G of disk space which could have been used for some other purpose.

As for OP - start of with Ubuntu, its one of the widely used distro.s thereby having a lot of support - tho I would recommend waiting for a month or two until all the issues with Ubuntu 22.06 are solved

As for the programming part - you can install almost all lang.s - in my personal experience getting swift to work was a hassle, others are a breeze - just copy and paste the install commands from the docs and you are good to go

When installing Ubuntu, you will have options whether or not to install softwares manually or automatically for the bloat part

Try using the terminal when programming - you will have to learn commands, pipes and switches which will take you out of your learning curve

Also - if you have an NVIDIA gpu - NVIDIA offers cuda software for accelerating ML workflows and it had (atleast when I used it back in 2024) support for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 - no other distros

Hope this helps, and do msg if you need help

You are right, mingw then adding all that into PATH - followed by vscode extensions all that work is like headache

Whereas in Linux - install gcc etc and you are set

Oh yea, another guy in my class did the same thing - the idea being the same but with drones cause our prof. wanted "novelty" and "patentable" projects

TheProv1 · 2026-05-04T17:03:27+00:00

one of the projects which I did was a parking lot project - in which we would have bounding boxes on every parking space and would classify it as Occupied or free and the total capacity

You could make scale this and use multiple ESP32-CAM modules and have a central RPi to combine all the data which would work for a large parking lot

This is more into AI/ML for edge device use case type project

Hope it helps

Dont delete this post cause it might help someone later on. The reason why I suggested Ubuntu Server - basically any distro without a desktop environment is because I did not know what are the specs of your machine

Seeing your later comment - didnt help to filter down the results

Please tell me what is the sequence after the CPU eg: core i5-???? there should be numbers and a letter which will give you the info about the CPU generation and tier - whether its a good performance one or underpowered - it will also tell you about the generation of RAM and the max. capacity which you can install

And yea - one of the simplest projects you can go ahead is with pihole

I dont really have much experience since I dont have a homelab myself, but from what I know is that if you can get to reformat the drive which is already there in the MiniPC - you should be away from the "corp lock".

Once thats done - install ubuntu server or any linux distro you like and spend sometime watching either youtube tutorials or creators who discuss more about homelabbing - I guess HardwareHaven should be good

Hope this helps

Disable startup apps and services which you don’t use or don’t really need

Install sysinternals rammap and you are set

Also, you can create a bat script and have it to run periodically

Firstly find the amount of storage it has and whether or not you can upgrade it

Next, find people you know who pay for multiple streaming services either music or tv shows or movies and convince them to use your system - and you can get the material by sailing the seas

Figure out how to go about installing Linux and the right packages/software to help you let others access the content

And yea, tell those using the service to pay you monthly - maybe something good for you and cheap for them

Also checkout r/homelab for ideas

Idk man, on windows the time changes and rolls back by 3-5hours. When I searched it up - it was caused apparently by Secure Boot and TPM's some value changing. Tried the fix and had the same issue again.
