Damn I've done this stuff. Even installed Gentoo on Raspberry Pi 400 for no reason. Maybe I'm not taking the right meds?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
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

But I need therapy after installed Arch
$ grep ^GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=emacs -- -e doctor"
$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

postin' from my 4th gen X1 Carbon running arch converted from antergos.
So what the ram is soldered, its 4lbs and still gets 7+ hours of battery life after 8 years of use.
... ooohh, that's not a terrible idea actually.
I've been buying old rigs and installing Proxmox, but this would work too I guess.
So you're just going to call me out like that, huh?
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.

or carry them with you when visiting friends.
They might be able to carry you.
They probably dont want to
I can't carry your trauma, Ma'am, but I can carry you!
