It sounds like you're wasting your time.
If you're spending the money to get a degree, at least choose one that's worthwhile in that the professors you're paying to hear, the labs you're paying to access, and the environment you're paying to be a part of are all actually helping you to learn something.

Go out and do it! Found that startup. Build that MVP. Apply to those jobs! A lot of the life experience you'll pick up while doing that will help you to realize what a treasure a good education can be. And to want that, since it sounds like you're experiencing an absence of that right now.
Your education shouldn't be just a certificate that you know how to develop software. Use it as an opportunity to dive deeply into something you've always been curious about. To absorb knowledge from people who know more than you do.
As you grow older you will realize that time is something that you have less and less of. Both literally and metaphorically. As a student you are in the rare position where you are able to pursue 100% learning about whatever you like. Once you launch your career, the time you can spend on this shrinks by a LOT and you will miss this opportunity if you don't fully take advantage of it.
NVME/SSDs have finite writes so theoretically this should increase their lifespan somewhat, moreso on systems like a Raspberry Pi which use a SD card for storage
100% AI for the cover photo. If you look at their other blog posts it looks like Uber eng doesn't care. They use lazy AI generated images (not even decent attempts at it) for all blog post cover images.
LLMs are basically trained to sound like mid-to-senior-mid-level Silicon Valley corporate blog-speak. It would not surprise me at all if Uber PR ran some this through some ghostwriting, I've seen that even at smaller places. Maybe it's even LLM-mediated now.
I've been running Fedora since shortly after Ubuntu introduced Snaps, and couldn't be happier. I haven't experienced any bugs whatsoever, running it on two recentish AMD systems, one with integrated graphics and the other with an RTX3060.
I even installed it on my homeserver several months ago, which is an older Intel SFF PC, and it's been rock solid reliable, currently with an uptime of 21 days.
It's a thoughtful, well designed distribution with mostly sane defaults and nothing I could describe as obtrusive.

I'm using Linux with Xfce, but it seems to be locked into a Gnome-like look and feel, with header bars and CSDs that can't be disabled in favor of standard title bars and menus, so it's actually very inconsistent with the rest of my desktop environment.
After testing Ghostty out for a while, though, I've realized that input lag is higher than xfce4-terminal, font rendering is blurrier with equivalent settings, the UI is still less consistent with my desktop, and it has three to four times the memory footprint on top of all that. Since xfce4-terminal is already using native GTK, so there's nothing gained on that front.
Disabling the UI cruft just turns it into a less performant version of Xterm, so unfortunately, this is going to be an uninstall for me.
