In my experience, these YouTube channels buy that simplicity in exchange for leaving out many (important) details. Sure, college professors aren’t all didactic geniuses, but making things accurate usually requires to also make it more complicated.

I, too, would like the winter winds to teach me about Rust.

I feel like Windows 7 fills the sweet spot between the seemless UI of the 2000/XP era and newer versions. Windows 10/11 could top that list if Microsoft had bothered to create a proper UI instead of just slapping some material design on a handful of apps, while everything else is still basically 2000/XP. Then again, GTK2/3/4 can be almost as bad.
