Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.

If you’re triggered, maybe you should try Linux!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 58 minutes ago

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

Very accurate

BTW maybe you should try gym

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 hour ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 24 minutes ago

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.)

Okay but have you considered

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 30 minutes ago

I can confirm. I use Mint and I don't understand it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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] 12 points 3 hours ago (3 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 minutes ago

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
