What could make my system be hanging when starting some software?

I am gonna start electronic engineering in university this year. I wonder if electronic engineering can help me get a Linux related job.

Like Linux in embedded systems or something else.

electronic engineers often work with embedded through VHDL and so forth

it’s tightly connected with drivers architectures and whatnot

there’s also the robotics/cybernetics aspect of electronic engineering, and the mechatronics side of things

I would personally love to work on some RISC based SBC projects powered with Linux but not sure if its within the scope of electrical engineering

RISC and VHDL are related

VHDL is basically the software-way to define hardware

you’d be working with syntethizing circuits, creating piplines of dataflow, managing timings between different logical units

tldr you’d create circuit boards hehe

is this tron 1982

I don’t think so.

KiCad intensifies

What could make my system be hanging when starting some software?

it hangs for about, max, 5 seconds, i’m getting angry

slow memory access

taking 2,3GB out of 8GB of ram?

What types of drive do you use?
What types of programs? Where do they store their data?
Check disks usage?

ext4 in an SSD
programs like Edge browser, Discord (hangs a bit less) etc.
haven’t but i shall do it next

Which DE? On KDE i had 99% disk usage by indexing tool (baloo) for example. It slowed down everything.

install arch not blackarch

add the repos manually

Anyone know a good code editor that works for python in Linux?

VSCode/VSCodium, or if you got time to study them, vim/neovim and emacs

There is also PyCharm, JetBrain’s IDE

How do you get vscodium to recognise python?

Or do you just type plain text

Install the python extension

Oh

Alright m

It recognizes py files and offers syntax highlighting by default, but if you want more you’ll need the extension from the store

Ok

ok but is your PS1 this cool?

mine is cooler

forgot
