The cross-platform support is probably as good as electron now (maybe a bit less mature bit I'm not sure), so that's not a problem.

adutchman Link ParentYou can use Electron or Tauri to build apps for mobile with web tech as well. Compiling them for mobile (especially IOS) is a bit of a hassle but doable.You can use Electron or Tauri to build apps for mobile with web tech as well.

Once I let go of those expectations I felt a lot more free.
I am lucky to have some people I can talk about this subject with, but you find out quickly that many men are on some level anxious about their masculinity.

One thing to add: if you have two screens, test out if the distro works well first, some setups don't work well with Xorg based distros/DEs like Linux Mint.

It was for just a few days a year, and you can cool your house before and after and weaher it out fairly well. Nowadays, we have aircon for the reason that heatwaves are getting more common and that we wantef to switch to electric heating. Many people are switching to heatpumps to heat their homes with electricity and with that you get aircon as a bonus.

did a lot of programming through college and between, but it's not something I really enjoy. I am not particularly bad at it. It just not something I really want to be doing 100% of the time all the time.
A lot of people in software engineering do not want to program all of the time. Ironically, those that do often complain they don't get to. Software engineering is about making a software solution for a customer. This includes getting requirements (overlooked a lot), understanding the problem domain, modelling a solution that works for the customer and has good UX, architecting the solution on a technical level and, yes, programming. Software Engineering as a job is hence very different than programming at school, because a way larger part is spent on going from problem to a solution and also making sure the software keeps running correctly. What I am saying is: you don't have to program a 100% of the time, so it might not be bad idea to try a Junior Software Engineer role and see what you like about the process.
Also, can you elaborate on what you do like about CS? You presumably chose to study it for a reason and you mentioned something about infrastructure?
You mentioned that you don't have experience, just a few projects. Those projects can really help prove you can actually program, because that is bot a given, even for CS grads. If you haven't already, I would advise putting them on a public Github repo.
Edit: I looked through your posts a bit and you do seem like you have a passion for programming looking at your Fortran comments. That is not easy stuff

Honestly, the standard solutions on Linux are quite good in my experience, so whatever comes with your distro.
