And the ones who install Arch on a MacBook need extra special therapy.

Men?

Then they put on the socks and become girls

Who needs therapy when you have pacman?

I enjoy this activity too as a non binary person

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.

I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.

While you were out chasing booty, I studied the bootloader. While you were partying, I mastered the fstab

I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM buys 3 more Thinkpads on eBay

Yeah because all we really need is something to focus our rage at.

Can confirm

(throw all those neofetches at me)

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.

Ok maybe I do need help.

the aliens watching me for entertainment: oh no, he has installed gentoo and qubes, he is too far gone

My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.

Fuck that's relatable I bought one like 4 days ago and it just arrived :'D

What if I do both?

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.

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.

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.

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 😅

I tried going to a dominatrix but that just wasn't enough punishment.

But I need therapy after installed Arch

until their egg cracks and they put on the thigh highs :P

And I'll do it again.

Unlike therapy, installing Arch on a Thinkpad works more often than not
