I got my BS in CSci about 15 years ago and it was 100% about programming in java. We didn't learn a fucking thing about hardware and my roommate was an EE major and we had none of the same classes except for calculus.
By the time I graduated java was basically dead. Thanks state college.
I truly hate modern windows but this isn't the issue I'd choose to illustrate that. I recently installed Fedora for a few weeks and one of the first things I wanted to do was change the wallpaper. Turns out there are 3 completely different places you must go to change desktop wallpaper, lock screen wallpaper, and whatever the other one is. Pretty poor design.
I ended up going back to windows because there were laptop-related functions that I just could not get to work on Fedora.
Trivium, killswitch (with Howard Jones), and dio are all great. Metallica sucks.
