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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

You don't have tine worrying about mental health problems when you are installing linux from scratch btw!

That way, instead of taking care of yourself, you can the care of your machine !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Especially if it's arch Linux

[–] [email protected] 1 points 43 minutes ago (1 children)

No one has made fun of me yet for using PopOS.

Then it's about time

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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. ^^;

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

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

Linux is the operating system of the effeminate punk nerd. Also of the dude who looks and talks like a wizard

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Can confirm :3

lemmy users be like: linux, star trek, elon musk, trump, socialism, linux

[–] [email protected] 4 points 51 minutes ago

You forgot linux.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

But do you use Trumpix or Ubuntu Tesla Edition?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 minutes ago* (last edited 19 minutes ago)

They already said linux

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

Be the change

Very accurate

BTW maybe you should try gym

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

Agreed, playing pokemon and beating gyms always cheers me up

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

...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.

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] 9 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago (2 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] 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 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] 3 points 2 hours 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
