If you can, find another old computer that still works, maybe replace the mechanical hard drive with a solid state drive and install Linux Mint or even the new Debian 12. I have Debian running on an old computer with an Intel i5-2500k processor and it is rock solid. As far as learning linux, I recommend www.learnlinux.tv as a starting point. Jay is very good at explaining.
+1 for fish shell. The lack of POSIX compliance really doesn’t matter at all day-to-day, but all the qol features that the shell has absolutely do matter and they are so worth it.
As for DNS Benchmarking: I used a Shell Script to check the performance of my pi hole. I got that from github, just look for “dns benchmark github” and you’ll find tons of script in all languages people wrote.
You’ve had some good advice here already, all I’d add is that you should install the package tldr as it’s a very noob-friendly accessible version of man pages (the manuals which come with every piece of software on Linux).
I’m not happy with RedHat neither. And Fedora 40 considering to add telemetry doesn’t help. I love Fedora tho, but if RHEL keeps heading the way is going I’ll hop to another distro.
Maybe is time to try Arch and embrace the meme (and learn, I’m a lil scared)
It now shows the device but I get an error when launching the app for debug from VS Code.

I’m not sure what I need to modify to make VS Code launch Brave as a device in debug mode.
Ok, just to clarify, my original struggle was to understand what made tmux different from using some terminal app and just split the screen xD
Not every terminal emulator has window splitting capabilities. Some, like Alacritty, specifically expect you to run a program like tmux if you want this functionality. Splitting within tmux also makes it vastly easier to multitask on a remote host via SSH: if you run a remote tmux, every split window is already running on the same remote host, no need to log in again and again.
This is just a matter of personal preference, but I can’t stand libreoffice UI. It has more features but I don’t open office documents much, mostly just some basic spreadsheets, so I can get away with using a document editor with less feature but easier to the eye.
