I don't even know what a "Linux User Group" is, but it sounds like a place where fat neckbeards gorge on Pizza while waxing lyrical about how much they "fucking love" Linux. None of the people will be kernel developers, but there will be one gnome like man who once pushed a commit to a mainstream package. The composition of the room will be white, with one geeked out negro who hasn't yet realized he's black, and 1-2 obese "girls" because they're so random.
Use your computer for "serious business," if you attach your entire identify and social life to your operating system of choice, you're no better than the typical cultofmac fanboy.

If you want basic electric understanding read the book "Make electronique" by charles platt. If you want a better understand of computing in general read the book "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold. You need to get yourself a goal and go in that direction. If you know people who as broken stuff ask them if you can try to repair it and try/research how to.

There's no hacking at all, it's just MakerFag shit. 3D print a buttplug/dildo, insert a servo motor attached to a little weight, add some prebuilt "bluetooth module", make an App to control the intensity. Look ma, muh smart pozz stick!

Most hackerspaces are just shitty makerspaces with "science is cool" mem ers. Unless you can find a hackerspace that actually hacks shit or builds actual shit using programming and hardware, they're no better than science fanclubs with members wearing shit-tier shirts from FYE.

Try to find people who do it professionally and as a hobby or people who are autistic. Don't bother working on projects with anyone else. In the end you get out what you put in and using the hackerspace for it's equipment and then fucking off is fine.

I'm pretty sure User Groups are more on the side of "Hey Steve, my wayland conf file broke again- any idea how to fix it?" and "I got my TRS-80 to play music by manipulating RF interference" rather than "look at me such a nerd lmao". At least that's the impression I get with what little I know of them pre-2000/2010.

pre-2000 Yeah, I'm sure the era of PC enthusiasts and LAN parties will be totally the same in 2019.
