CAD (cardboard aided design) is really powerful. You get to fail fast: figuring out things don’t work before more expensive manufacturing steps (such as laser cutting).
And using inkscape is fine, but even better if you print it out and stick it to cardboard.
Only a GaN charger. I have seen it do good things with a powerbank on YouTube while I was finding reviews.
Good tools do not make a master, they simply make a master’s job easier.
flux
Adding more flux than I thought necessary changed everything. Another thing that changed everything is the Pinecil. I can’t fathom how a $25 soldering iron has had me seeing so much more success than a $120 one. Seriously OP, check it out.
There are also PPD files, which you can add to CUPS. I extracted the required file for my Xerox printer from the Windows driver.
It mostly comes down to being as smart about printer brand choice, as you are smart about OS choice. Dell? HP? Have fun sleeping in that grave you dug yourself.
It’s not that they hate it, they just don’t care at all.
Also, you should use your distro’s prepackaged driver - not the Nvidia installer.

I take it you weren’t using flakes?
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used vscode, but you want to invoke the command pallet (Ctrl+P I think) and create a build profile/task/something. You then want to do the same for a debug profile. This will create two files under .vscode - you will need to edit the debug one to add the build task as a dependency for the debug profile.
You could also try running dotnet build in the terminal before doing what you are doing already.
Also vscodium won’t work, the debugging plugin is closed source and is only available for vscode.
Printers have always been an issue, especially recently. They love their home-grown (likely inaccessible, I might add) UIs. We had an HP and it was a complete shitshow - the Windows driver would crash whatever app invoked the print dialog for the second time. HP suggested installing their app from the Microsoft store - absolute garbage as you might imagine.
Shit worked flawlessly with Linux.
I replaced the heap of steaming shit with a Xerox Laser printer. Given their corporate background they have less weird shit going on, and that did pay off for my wife’s Windows machine. Oh boy, is it still so much more reliable under Linux. I need to install a PPD, which means digging into the CUPS management and things could definitely use improvement there (it works flawlessly, but it’s confusing and ugly).
Scanning is sometimes a little hit-and-miss though.
Fastmail is well-regarded, although they are hosted in Australia (which has some really dumb privacy laws). I use them. There’s an import tool.
If you are privacy paranoid, mailfence is hosted in Belgium, which is a brick wall when it comes to privacy and warrants - likely the best jurisdiction in the world in this regard. The interface is dated.
In the US there is no notice period for firing in “at-will” states (which is all except Montana). It goes both directions though, there is no notice period when quitting. So chances are, if the OP is in the US, the boss was full of it.
