I think I love coding in Python but I hate most ways and resources to learn it
This month I finally made a huge personal breakthrough by creating my first app, which even tho is not great, it's still something I'm proud of and motivated me enough to keep on this path, especially since I have never really written anything in Python before. Here's the thing tho: for about 1 full week I had A LOT of fun getting this to work. Researching, troubleshooting, implementing shit that I never used, etc but now that I'm kinda done with it and I don't see the need to implement any new features (other than fixing 1 or 2 bugs) , I'm back to 0.

I created an app called Glorious Proton Manager to help users manage their GE-Proton installations. Check it out!
Here's the link to my Github repo with the instructions on how you can set it up. The package is available in PIP also for easy installation. If you have any questions feel free to ask away

PuTTY Has a New Website
Wine can be a bit of a headache if you are on a couple year older distro as it can make it harder to install newer Wine versions.
But I found that the Bottles project pretty much solves this, by installing everything in some kind of sandboxed environment:

Has worked wonderfully for the few cases where plain Wine failed.

Easily run Windows software on Linux with Bottles
I think so, I mean it's called Bottles. It looks like a GUI for Wine that doesn't give Wine enough credit for doing the real work. I have a feeling it just runs Wine.
