Looks at M2 macbook running NixOS
Ok maybe I do need help.
A real linux installation or darwin-nix? If the former, what steps did you follow? 👀
Someone was saying in a linux hate post yesterday that linux is not viable for beginners because it is not easy to install arch linux on a vm on their old macbook. Lmao
My kid (not even a teenager) uses Linux daily. And not in a coy “he’s using a chromebook” way. He’s using full-blown NixOS on a laptop I set up for him. Could he have set it up? No, but he’s a child. Has day to day use presented him with any difficulties whatsoever? Nope. He figured out gnome purely by instinct in a day. He goes between macos and windows and linux effortlessly, because he’s a reasonably intelligent human being.
But, yes, half the time the “linux is hard” crowd seem to be basing their evaluation on things you would rarely do on a mac or windows machine. These days, install Mint, Fedora, or, hell, even Nixos or Endeavor, choose the defaults, and you will very likely have a perfectly usable, intuitive system.

Then they put on the socks and become girls
until their egg cracks and they put on the thigh highs :P
I don’t think you need to be trans to have a desire for the wonderful vascular benefits of stockings.
oh for sure, but judging by unixsocks they seem to be correlated. At this point I’m considering “interested in Linux” to be One Of The Signs™️ lol
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.
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!
Who needs therapy when you have pacman?
And yay
And paru
Therapy is expensive, I’d have to make appointments, leave my home during my free time, talk about myself to someone, and probably won’t help because my problems are external. No thanks.
Buying a new laptop and installing an OS is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that is actually rewarding.
Therapy actually often helps with external problems too. If you tried another therapist every time you installed a distro, you might have found one that can solve your problems.
Therapist-hoping, eh?
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
My submarine functions so much better since I nailed them all shut.
Costs a lot less than therapy too.
Fuck that’s relatable I bought one like 4 days ago and it just arrived :'D
My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.
I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.
Can confirm
(throw all those neofetches at me)Does this still count?
(yes sir)
when you stop hating yourself
I feel like I need to get back into Gentoo just to add a lil spice to the horde of Arch users around here :P
Still gonna use Arch on my laptop, bytheway 😅
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.
Gentoo: the Tamagotchi Penguin
USE flags are so addictive…
I enjoy this activity too as a non binary person
Wouldn’t that be Gentoo?
Except even Gentoo does binaries now (more than they used to).
