I’m surprised I didn’t see fasd fasd (pronounced ‘fast’) uses ‘frecency’ (frequency + recently) in order to jump to or open your most frecent documents or directories. A dumber version is z which works as a supliment to cd

I’m on the other side of things as a professor in the US (teaching physics). Grades cause students to focus on the wrong things. (I.e.min maxing time and effort to get the best grade with the least work). You remove that incentive when you take grades out of the picture. Education isn’t about putting people in an arbitrarily defined order. It’s about learning.

Side note. Normal a grade distribution doesn’t do what you describe. It makes it clearer where their are separations in students and where you should define cuts based on population.

Worst part is how long it takes to switch sources. I don’t need you to scan. Switch to the god damn thing!

Different strokes for different folks. I did nothing but distro hop for my first month or so. You learn a hell of a lot using different package managers and how distros do the same thing different ways. My advise is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If it isn’t a chore, you’ll coming back and you’ll always learn something new.
