This is unironically true, just that i have yet to finish college
Haha your post made me reflect my journey. I had fun in college tinkering Arch Linux with i3. Now I’m an Infra Engineer (or DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE, whatver) and still do the same job—keeping the system “reliable”.
I’ve used Linux exclusively since '06 when I was the nerdiest kid in junior high, I ran Gentoo and various tiling wms until KDE plasma 5 got good.
I’m a coffee roaster now, and my nerdy friend that went on that journey with me is a musician and fashion model lol.

Maybe his/her experience in keeping the system simple and beautiful helped him/her recognise the passion in art.
It ran at like 1FPS on my computer (got it up to like 10 with some performance toggles), but I totally still needed to have it on!
I loved playing videos that popped out and wrapped around corners. How is this not a thing now? How is there no similar compositor?
There’s Wayfire. The github says that’s it’s inspired by Compiz. I’ve never used either of these so I don’t know how similar they are to each other. It is Wayland though so if you’re not into that kindof thing it could not be for you.
Nowadays we just have multiple monitors, and even windows supports multiple desktops with quick ways to change between them. Though I think the best thing to come out of that addition is the fact that waking up your computer doesn’t mess up your window layout anymore. Like it does for a second, but then it fixes them all less than a second later. It was honestly one of my biggest gripes with having multiple monitors.
