Did you use any established project for your weather station or just make it up for yourself? I've been interested in building an esphome weather station as well.

I don't make the rules of acquisition, I just live by them. (Grand Negus Gint made them)

Gun violence is just a fact of life in America, no way to solve it. They should just move on.

I ran it as my primary distro on my main machine for a while way back when. I don't recommend that.

What I do recommend is going though the entire process even if it's just in a VM. It's incredibly educational and will teach you a ton about Linux and OS construction in general. I used to recommend it to everyone I was teaching linux/ Unix too and all the students who actually went through it and completed it now have successful IT careers. 100% an incredibly valuable teaching resource, you will look at all OS's with new eyes after you've built one bit by bit from source by hand.

I prefer FreeLager myself.

Translation: it's another formulaic action film with a Star Trek coat of paint.

I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it's usually way easier than using cut.

awk {' print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)

awk {' print $NF '} gets you the last element, and awk {' print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.

Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.
