I would like to replace Windows 10 with fedora on my laptop. Mostly for development purposes. However, I've been faring well with VMs. Also, iTunes to add music to my phone and MATLAB to revive old projects.

I’ve been struggling recently, more than usual. Getting out of my own head can be a challenge. I came across this book again today and it clicked for me. I hope it might help someone else reframe their struggle.
