in ♥️ with linux

I have wanted to learn programming for a while now. My last period of active coding was actually back in school, using Turbo Pascal and dBase. In between, I dabbled a little with JavaScript, PHP and VBA, but only in a very rudimentary way.

I think Python would be a good fit, so I still need a project. Since I’m now using GNOME, it will be a handful of small scripts that are useful in everyday life.

I don’t enjoy reading long documentation; I prefer to experiment – learning by doing has always worked well for me.

I’m not a big fan of AI; a lot of it is just nonsense. But I’m very impressed by how well the creation of small scripts works in a dialogue. The AI quickly reaches its limits, yet it’s fine for getting started. Especially, it can also explain what it’s doing (or rather it checks what it has done).

So I’m now trying to learn Python with the help of AI through dialogue. My first project is a tool that can sync dconf settings via Git.

You can find the code here: https://codeberg.org/Nasendackel/SyncDconf

Just improve it so I can learn :)
