For me, the main solution was to apply it to another problem that uses Linear Algebra as Application, which in my case was Introductory Quantum Course and implementing BLAS using Rust and C. That way you keep thinking and using this info. Otherwise, information in vacuum seems to abstract to care about.

I really like your approach. Any resource recommendations?
On what topic? Linear Algebra, Quantum Mechanics?
Linear algebra applications resources. Something that I can follow up with examples.
For me, it was introductory quantum mechanics (QM) books, you can go with MIT online course from Barton Zwiebach and online course from BLIS (This is for Rust/C implementation of BLAS). If you fall in love with QM and go for more rigorous formulation of its mathematical structure, you can follow it up with An Introduction to Hilbert Space by N. Young, which was the book used in my next semester for Hilbert Space Course.

Hilbert Space is the mathematical framework to describe QM systems.

You might enjoy "Thirty-three Miniatures" (2010) by Jiřì Matoušek. It's a collection of short applications of Linear Algebra in geometry, combinatorics and CS.
