Hello everyone, my second post here, and I am so grateful for this forum. Really helps me with electronics.
So, in short, I am trying to program smart glasses, and I am using a Raspberry Pi Zero W (with the LiPo SHIM) to do that. I am also going to use the Mini USB Microphone in order to capture the audio and lastly a display)

I have been trying to look for some ways to code for raspberry pi, and the only real way I found is through the Raspberry OS? It is super slow but it does the job I guess, if anyone has a better way to do it, all tips would be appreciated.
Secondly, I was trying to set up and test the display that I got, and I used the example code on this website. I am pretty sure I copied it correctly, I couldn't copy and paste because the raspberry pi is very... very slow(again, if you have any tips for speeding up te workflow would help a bunch.) but here is what I wrote (beforehand, I installed the adafruit blinka module, the SSD1306 library, and the PIL module. Did I miss anything?):
The code runs but the display doesn't actually display anything, it's just black. Does anyone know how I can fix that?
Here is the wiring, maybe that is the reason (so sorry for my horrible soldering)
I followed this guide on this - bottom of the page, I just used a different GPIO slot for one of the cables (reset pin - GPIO slot 13)
Is there anything wrong with the setup/display or with my code, also any tips to help with the workflow?
Another question: I will need to use the USB Microphone, but the USB port is used by my keyboard & mouse, is getting a USB hub the only way to use both, or is there another way to do it?
Thank you very much, I am sorry for such a long post and for taking up your time with such trivial questions.
