...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.

Use Solaris. You can't have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I remember solaris. It's not Linux, but it's definitely posix compliant.

Okay but have you considered

Was this an official thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 hours ago

What do you mean Was? Ms. Cirus still uses it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Eh, fuck ‘em. I’ve been riding my Fedora install for nearly 3 years. Never distro hopped. Never found an issue with it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

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.

And you're programming you can still do most of the terminal shenanigans that are enabled by linux

Okey but consider this. FreeBSD.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Who is 'BSD' and what crime got him locked up in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Locked up for removing the M and changing the order of the letters to cover up the crime

Me dealing with serious computer problems

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 hours ago

It would help though

I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I am all fucked up on Linux.

Hooked on Linux worked for me!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Haven't got time to do drugs now that I'm using Arch.

Psst... Have you heard of Rust yet?

I have nightmares where the borrow checker is shouting at me incomprehensibly about the literal bugs and I shoot them with the clone laser and the borrow checker stops shouting for ten seconds, but now there are two bugs for each original bug and Tim Berners Lee floats by saying it's not very idiomatic and I shouldn't expect to get to work on time if I just keep stopping along the journey to spend all my time cloning the bugs.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 9 hours ago

I googled my symptoms and it says here I have "compatibility issues".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm gonna need a source for this
