In 1999, collapsed buildings far more than 17k - 18k and nobody knows how many people died. I remember some 800k - 1m estimations.
Today, just few videos shows at least 10k more houses was collapsed but "officials" says just 4k people died.
But honestly, without an easy solution like yunohost I wouldn't attempt to selfhosting personal mail even I already know how to do on different platforms.
Jokes aside, Android is just another mediocre hacks bundle from Google and has a great position in it's own ranks. But sharing the same meaning and quality with MS Windows; if they works even with some problems, everything is OK for end-user and corporations. Just put a little more money to the work and get the lead without a real innovation.
Maybe Firefox and Vivaldi to a degree but I would prefer more simple "world wide web" infrastructure if possible.
Years ago I was enjoy using 7zip, IrfanView and Winamp on Windows.
Let's more nostalgia; I was fond of almost every software on Amiga and of course AmigaOS/Workbench. I'm not a designer or musician but Deluxe Paint and Protracker makes me happy.
Turbo Assembler, Koala Paint, DMC and JCH music editors, GEOS from Commodore 64.
Not really using it daily nowadays, but OpenBSD still giving me sweet sixteen vibes.
But the first time, I was typing some very simple BASIC code on C64 from the user guide and a question popped in my brain: is it possible to change a program when it's running?
I was already a kid like to tinkering with basic electronics and mechanics but after this significant moment they started to decline steadily day by day and I put most of my time and energy to the programming.
Software development, another story...

focus on your development process not your operating environment.
Second, if you have internet connection just use free tiers of cloud providers' virtual private servers or even better use public access systems like freeshell, blinkenshell or sdf (this one not exactly linux but can open the door of a different experiences).

Third, dual boot with MS Windows or virtualization not that hard, just try.
Fourth, this is kind of counter argument to my first point but probably best in my opinion; come on baby, don't fear the reaper... Joking aside, don't fear and just break things and you will be alright; once upon a time, we were all there poor and without constant and fast connections, free services, online communities, etc. and we survived.

But I know sceners using Python for prototyping the demo effects with pygame or sdl.
Maybe searching “demo effects with python” or “animating with python” queries help for this kind of information.
Or you can look at the processing platform.
I didn’t work with PHP since 4 to 5 days and honestly I never feel OK with it personally but always admire two things. First Drupal, second Wordpress.
If you can afford 64G is a good investment for longevity. But 32G isn’t a bad option for next years.
Android Studio and Docker sufficient reasons for at least 32G memory but nothing less.
Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe,
Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island,
Most of the Jules Verne's books,
The Iliad and The Odyssey from Homer,
The Godfather from Mario Puzo,
Hermit in Paris, Under the Jaguar Sun, The Complete Cosmicomics from Italo Calvino,
The Name of the Rose from Umberto Eco,
In the World from Maxim Gorky,
...
First works coming to mind but there should be more... Also I probably re-read many times basic printed materials related Abrahamic religions like Torah, Quran and Bible.
Re-reading is inevitable if you love books.
- Interviewer who don’t know anything about the job but churning cool buzzwords plus assesing the wrong things because of lacking basic communication skills and psychological information,
- Interviewer who cares about pseudoscientific/metaphsycial garbage; horoscopes, feng or something shuis, “we are a family” like discourses, religious views, gender bias, alpha or any Latin letter personality, etc. ,
- Interviewer who cares about presentable(ness) about appearence and impression,
- Interviewer who don’t have much time, one of the classics,
- Interviewer who don’t answer your questions about job definition, title, income, work hours, planning, etc. because of the company policies,
- The best; interviewer (or department or company) who really busy for a cold mail about rejection with a few realistic explanation.
But honestly, I can’t be sure if I’m touch typing or not. All I know, I can type at decent speed without noise and looking to keyboard.
Aesthetics resembles me a mix of Apple and Sinclair (especially Sinclair QL), two of my favourite design perspectives with a breeze of eighties. Linear switches another plus point for me. Maybe a different font for alphabetic keys would be nice and consistent with design, font of numerical keys is very good and maybe a good candidate for alphabetics too, nice typewriter era lines. Other than these; recycled materials, aluminium monobody, low-profile keys, etc. nice touches for me. I'm sold. :-)
I hope all goes well!

Take a break, rest and review these problems with a clear mind. Consulting a professional helps for mind and career.
Good luck.
Arc, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi or any other Chromium-based project can't really make a difference on the web yet, big thanks to the Chromium codebase; changing mostly visual bits, adding some cryptoish features, built-in adblocker, more hooks to system for usage analysis, etc. Even still, too many things going to the Google's services, maybe because of addons or phishing protection.
I don't know if it's some kind of "if it works, don't fix it" and/or "don't reinvent the wheel" thinking but that's for sure web and users pays the price not the companies.
I think similar things for Android, Firefox, Windows and Linux. They're dominating their positions and holding their territories at all hazards and sometimes this defence means destruction of alternatives, without regard to qualifications and qualities.
This is a bad thing for me.
