# Conclusion
### Some takeaways
* Hopefully terminals and the command-line are less intimidating

--
* Hopefully you start version controlling things
  * Remember how easy it is to set up a local Git repo?

--
* If you've kept up with this course, you probably have developed a
  decent ability to pick up and learn new things
  * You can impress managers at internships with this power (your mileage may vary)

--
* The next time you run into a productivity problem on your computer,
  try to see if you can automate it with a script or something

# Random other things
### Take the GNU/Linuxpill
* Linux distros typically revolve around free software
* Imagine an OS that doesn't force you to update and doesn't take telemetry
* smol as you want
* Lots of software also have Linux versions
* Office software: LibreOffice
* Graphics: GIMP, Krita
* Video editing: KDEnlive
* [Fun list (it's for Arch, but gives a sense of what's there)](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications#Time_management)

(I know this is a hard pill to swallow since Windows has WSL and
mac OS is already a \*nix system)

# Random other things
### Contact
* Feel free to contact me after the class ends!
  * Pick my brain about grad school, computers, computer architecture, gacha games,
    operating systems, compilers, embedded systems, and more
