Therefore, in late December 2024, I applied for the Malaysian campus of 42 near me, spent two hours in their application test consisted of a memory game and a logic game. On the next day, I was informed that I passed my application test, so I chose to enrol in their trial bootcamp, referred to as the Piscine, that will begin on April 2025. Participants need to pass the 4-week trial bootcamp before being able to take 42's core curriculum.
Meanwhile, through their official website, I learned that the campus would host an open day on 18 January 2025, so I decided to take the opportunity to visit the campus for myself to see what I can expect from the environment when I started my study there. When I attended the open day on January 18, I learned that the computers in their workstations use Linux, specifically the Ubuntu distribution with Gnome as its desktop environment.

However, to my surprise, the computers did not have any setting to adjust screen brightness, which was not a good thing for me due to my [retinitis pigmentosa](/articles/living-with-retinitis-pigmentosa/) making my eyes sensitive to bright light, including artificial lights. I would prefer not to rely on my clip-on sunglasses just to see a computer screen, since the surroundings including the keyboard would appear too dark for me. Therefore, I approached one of the staff members to request methods of dimming the computer screen when I attend my class there. The staff member suggested that they should be able to arrange that to accommodate my needs.
