I have a feeling I'm stuck in tutorial hell, and I need to start actually building things. But I don't know where to start :/

Also I'm really bad at syntax. I only know concepts like for loops, while loops, if-elif-elses, etc...

So maybe something that helps me learn more about coding syntax would be helpful.

Thanks!

I wanted to use TheFuck on latest Linux Mint so I had to download the source and make some upgrades to make it work.

Another small project was a small app for extracting file differences between two folders, the idea was that I can mod games in windows, make a diff between vanilla and modded versions, then copy the diff onto my Linux machine and extract it into the game root installed there. Works great.
