Incidentally:
- which models are the best new old?
- what are the best places to get them?
…asking for a friend.
Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them
I mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it’s one of the big draws of the OS to me.
Costs a lot less than therapy too.
Because *mumble mumble* no Windows into your soul
I don’t like Windows. They leak a lot of air, they are expensive to replace, and you usually just end up covering them anyway.
I also don’t like the OS much either. lol
My submarine functions so much better since I nailed them all shut.
Unlike therapy, installing Arch on a Thinkpad works more often than not
I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.
By turn your life around you mean bought a new Think pad and put Arch on it, right?
The ol’ 360 life turnaround
Honestly I thought I was doing good for my technical knowledge by playing with Linux and it has helped but there comes a point where I hit a plateau with that and now I just end up endlessly tweaking and just wasting time on it
Damn I’ve done this stuff. Even installed Gentoo on Raspberry Pi 400 for no reason. Maybe I’m not taking the right meds?
woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don’t see anything wrong there either.
just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.
calm down honey, it’s a joke.
That’s no way to talk about my horse! Look how sad you’ve made him.
calm down and see it as a joke. *ggg
would make a nice tshirt =)
or carry them with you when visiting friends.
They might be able to carry you.
I can’t carry your trauma, Ma’am, but I can carry you!
They probably dont want to
You should try gentoo as a therapy replacement next. It’s basically the adult version of maintaining a long running Animal Crossing save.
Every morning I wake up, grab a coffee and update my system @world. Almost every day it goes without a hitch and I watch the system evaluate and resolve any incongruities that might emerge from updates by itself. Other times I might need to make a intervention in the dependencies to guide it to a resolution; but it’s a small nudge in the right direction, like tweaking a miniature ship inside a bottle.
This is partially tongue in cheek but I unironically get a lot of joy out of administrating my PC: Having it completely customized and working exactly like I need it to.
Fucking amateur. Linux from scratch
Gentoo: the Tamagotchi Penguin
Well, you do have to feed, er, update it at least every six months if you don’t want to be left with an unholy mess to clean up.
I’d advise every week, within six months a lot has changed and you may end up with messed-up inconsistencies.
Six months is the max that’s supposed to be supported. (Longest no-update period I’ve ever sorted out was twelve months. Possible, but time-consuming.)
USE flags are so addictive…
Who needs therapy when you have pacman?
And paru
ILoveCandy
honestly just start abusing drugs
I simply do both
It’s not working
Yes. You need to won in lottery if you want to go a therapy xD
Just a friendly reminder there are therapists that work pro bono or for discounted rates. I’m paying $60/ session without insurance and it’s an investment for my mental health, future relationships and career.
But I need therapy after installed Arch
… ooohh, that’s not a terrible idea actually.
I’ve been buying old rigs and installing Proxmox, but this would work too I guess.
I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.
Eh… I get the joke, but using Arch is about loving computing. All the other OSes have removed the human element of computing. Arch still lets you control and administer your computer, which is good fun for weirdos like me.
Wait. Am I not allowed to mess with stuff, use the terminal, compile, and all those things in Mint!?
Call the manager. I want my money back!
Of course you can. But in Arch you must do a lot of things that are optional in other distros, and you install your packages explicitly, only including what you want.
Must isn’t better that can - to have choice taken away from your, there’s always Windows or, even better, MacOS.
Meh, Arch users like it. Plus not having stuff you don’t want or don’t use on your OS makes it snappier and easier to update and maintain.
And as a bonus, if you don’t install support for something and have no idea it exists, you can be continually amazed that nobody has invented it yet.
absolutely and completely forbidden! somebody call the tuxpolice!
I was asking for a friend!
you had me until “All”
I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn’t boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.
$ grep ^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=emacs -- -e doctor" $
