Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.
No one has made fun of me yet for using PopOS.
That way, instead of taking care of yourself, you can the care of your machine !
Especially if it’s arch Linux
If you’re triggered, maybe you should try Linux!
I see a lot of the “even once you pick a Linux distro you get yelled at for using the wrong one” and like I just haven’t seen that here?
Lemmy is by far the chilliest place of Linux users I’ve ever fucking seen. Even when I posted an issue on the Linux mint forum I got fucking told “well you used XFCE, there’s your issue” despite it being the better choice for that system
We absolutely will pressure people to try it, because we’re a cult. Meetings on Thursdays at 9PM for my local chapter
Just wait till you say you’re using Ubuntu. ^^;
Ok, even I have a cringe reaction to that by default
Even then though I’ve only really seen people go “you should try mint instead, basically that but without the proprietary stuff”
Think I did see ONE guy weirdly assholish about it but haven’t seen em in a while
Can confirm :3
Isn’t that Windows?
Those are legs
lemmy users be like: linux, star trek, elon musk, trump, socialism, linux
You forgot linux.
But do you use Trumpix or Ubuntu Tesla Edition?
Forgot 🏳️⚧️
Be the change
Very accurate
BTW maybe you should try gym
Agreed, playing pokemon and beating gyms always cheers me up
…or mint. Mint is good. It’s based on Ubuntu, but greener and less commercial. Also less orange. And it’ll feel moderately familiar without being even slightly the same.
I did a little time in the feds with a guy named Jim. He was a horrible racist.
Okay but have you considered
Was this an official thing?
There’s hardware and everything.
What do you mean Was? Ms. Cirus still uses it.
Use Solaris. You can’t have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.
I remember solaris. It’s not Linux, but it’s definitely posix compliant.
Well, more posix compliant than Linux. But I’m not sure any OS out there today actually complies.
(That’s not a complaint, by the way. It’s not a worthwhile goal.)
It’s not even over when you switch to Linux as I found out.
“You’re not using Arch? What’s wrong with you?”
“Mint is for idiots who don’t understand Linux.”
Etc.
I can confirm. I use Mint and I don’t understand it.
Eh, fuck ‘em. I’ve been riding my Fedora install for nearly 3 years. Never distro hopped. Never found an issue with it.
Fedora was actually the last version of Linux I used, back in high school on my old HP e-Vectra. Fedora Core 4. What made you pick Fedora? I’m going to be switching to Linux before Win 10 is end of life, and there are so many more options than there were in the early 2000’s.
It just pisses me off that people told me for years to switch to Linux and when I finally did, it wasn’t good enough for a lot of them because I wasn’t using the right flavor of Linux in their view.
But yeah, Mint is fine for my needs- a web browser and a handful of applications- and I’m going to stick with it.
I can relate. if you let people tell you what you should do, you will never feel satisfied because there is no consensus. People are addicted to pointing out negatives and telling others what they should be doing. I am an arch user because of imagined people telling me I should.
I realize now I that this has impacted my life in many ways. I am working to uncover the difference between what I want, and what I think i should do because of what my brain thinks people expect of me.
Every community everywhere has a-holes. Live your best minty life
And you’re programming you can still do most of the terminal shenanigans that are enabled by linux
Mind is too busy fixing your rice to be sad.
Okey but consider this. FreeBSD.
Who is ‘BSD’ and what crime got him locked up in the first place?
He was in an aquarium till some kid freed him. I saw a movie about it way back.
Locked up for removing the M and changing the order of the letters to cover up the crime
FreeBSD: The final refuge?
Enter: NetBSD
Me dealing with serious computer problems
Lemmy users: mAYbe YOu ShOuLD trY thERaPy
I’m about to need some therapy with the computer problems I’m dealing with, I tell you what.
Linux has helped me rediscover my love for computers. And the many small and larger hobby projects I can now embark on because of it do in fact help with my mental health.
Same for me…I’m a totally different person because I found Linux…If I had found it earlier maybe I would pursuit an IT career but I’m still glad to have a hobby that fulfill my hunger for knowledge and I have a lot of fun tinkering and playing with Linux
