This is how your hard drive sounds.

So why did you install Linux if you're not a programmer and are looking for something "fun" to do?

The sole reasons to use Linux in a day to day computer are:

You're a programmer or system administrator
You're interested on having a more secure and private system
You have a low spec computer too slow/old to run latest Windows

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I do program but I have nothing to program most the time.

All Linux users are, unfortunately, boring mono-maniacs like this one.

Your mind isn't constantly bustling with ideas for new programs to make? You must be a shitty programmer then

>>60876333
You can actually find the reason for life by typing

less -f /dev/null

in the terminal

>>60876333
are you making sure people can see your using gnome?

>>60876472
Well I guess I'm not really a "programmer," I just know how to do stuff in python and I'm trying to learn C right now.

Ever wanted to know what a previous owner of a computer had running in memory?

cat '--------/pagefile.sys' | grep -i -E 'trap|porn|feminine penis'

Listen to your SSD.

>>60876413
So, what does this actually do?

>>60876333
write a fuse filesystem for something cool you like (maybe a cloud storage system you use?)

Takes the raw data of your hard drive and pipes it into aplay (which plays sounds), sets a sampling rate and specific format for listening

Well you could use it to learn to develop embedded systems, like for example hearing devices for deaf cats.
