Looking for kernel development/OS development/general programming tutoring (Zig & Rust) (lemmy.ml)

I'm a complete beginner in programming with no prior experience, and I want a tutor/mentor to learn Rust for software(GUI, games, software in general) development and, eventually, kernel development(microkernels, IPC, specifically). I pay, of course. (Also, another note, I dislike UNIX (philosophy wise), so I would be looking to get experience in non-UNIX kernel development but also learn UNIX stuff as well.) Furthermore, to note, is I'm interested in game development.

I have a document from my previous tutor in this outlining the stuff I am keen to learn, practically a syllabus, so if you want to see it dm me :3.

Saying that you “dislike Unix philosophy-wise” could mean any number of ten thousand things, because UNIX is ten thousand things.

    I mean this practically captures my opinion on unix. https://youtu.be/9-IWMbJXoLM?si=csJlqIcKz-W9yEWA

    I think you are misguided. Given your level of experience, you are not in a position to spew hot takes on software architecture.

    There is something else underneath this. Did you try to use linux or something?

    General advice when it comes to software is to just start. There are always different paths, depending on what type of programmer you are. My opiniom: choose simple, not easy.

    I just dislike the Unix philosophy fundamentally. I actually use Linux, I use NixOS, the problem is: Unix wasn't made for systems with graphics or anything apart from the terminal. You should listen to the link I posted :3

    Tris, who's behind the excellent No Boilerplate YouTube channel offers mentoring. I don't know if he has spaces or if he's in your budget, but he's got experience explaining things and clearly knows his stuff.
