Can Slackware help me improve my programming skills?
by pinqvin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GYJV)
Hi there,
Last year, I've completely changed lanes switching from the 10th incarnation of the well-known bloated environment called an operating system to Linux, and I regret of wasting so many hours tweaking that thing. But I must also admit that it was that thing that's kindled my interest in almost everything related to computers and programming for them for years. Anyway, I'm currently on PopOS and do enjoy it.
In parallel, I spare at least 1-2 hrs daily to program on C - either through Harvard's CS50 program or learning from books and video tutorials. I'm really into that language!
So, I wonder if I can use the potentials of both Slackware (or similar DIY distros) and C - the native language of Linux - to practice my programming skills while assembling the system. I'm not in a hurry, as I use my notebook for my daily needs, so I can invest some time on this. Plus I'd like to improve my skills to the level I could give back to the FOSS community (a dream for now)...
Thank you!
