"I forgot that in python getting list elements by index is O(1) instead of O(n) which is what I'm personally used to with lists."
Have you considered that maybe this is a sign you're too deep into using impractical programming languages?
Cleanness for immutable data structures aside, linked list are a very poor way to store data given the way computer architectures are designed.

“Languages that use ‘list’ for linked lists and have different names for other integer-indexable ordered collections” aren’t necessarily “impractical”.
