Or just not buy so many ugly ass SUVs/crossovers/minivans/god the list goes on.

At some point, acting like a social sciences major and calling everyone right-winger will make the right-wing cult look waaayyyyy more palatable to people than yours.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but wake me up when we've got replicators and holodecks. They're as enticing now as they were decades ago.

Ahh yes, very interesting.

Nick is probably my favorite Linux YouTuber. He seems to be the only one to understand that Linux has to look and feel sexy for new people to stay on board.

Internet leftist gets spooked when they see comments that don't perfectly subscribe to their cult. Their brains don't know what to do but call them right-wingers and Nazis. This really is reddit.

I hope you enjoy what you're learning, because there's a reason everyone tells you to do what you love. It can be an enormous source of fulfilment or a nightly headache.

A few years ago working at a convenience store right out of school, I used to park 15 minutes early just to sit and sulk about having to go in for 1st shift. I went through a period that kinda sounds like yours. All I wanted was to go back to college and stay there. I really enjoyed the learning, spending time with my peers, and the drugs.

Now, 5 years later, I might get a few hours per day where I'm not working on something and I couldn't be happier. Right now you're probably working a college gig. It's probably not entirely fulfilling work. For now, just keep going and keep an eye out on new skills that you can learn. I've learned things from the dregs that has applied to every

You get new hobbies and pleasures as you go too. Long-term projects become more sexy. Things you can drop in on and leave whenever. I think that's why "the dad with the train set in the basement" is such a trope.

Do you have a pet? I couldn't live properly without a cat around.

The Home Depot thing is real. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite places to go. Maybe head over there sometime, think of all the stuff you can build, and learn something new while building it. We have YouTube, we better take advantage of it.

The responsibility kinda becomes a point of pride. Idk if pride is the word for it. It certainly makes you stand up straighter, with more self-respect.

It kinda felt like you were gonna break into song about the Year of the BSD Desktop for a second there!

It's the same with work tbh... Lots of companies have big contracts with Red Hat but the only option for their employees is Windows.

I understand the logic behind it, but it still feels dumb.

About a year ago I switched from Spotify to a local library with the Symfonium music player on my phone and Rhythmbox on the PC. I have not once looked back.

Plus, you get the satisfaction of growing a collection that can last forever.

I highly recommend it !

People are sharks for argument on forums like this.

The other day I used my PC without Internet (cable not long enough in current location) and I tried logging into my windows SSD and it just wouldn't let me.

It denied me access to my own computer because I didn't have a long enough Ethernet cable, which I didn't even need for the work I needed to get done.

It's stuff like that which makes me so glad that I'm on Linux now.

My desktop has also never suited me so well, nor looked so pretty! The customizability of Linux goes WAY WAY DEEP. From desktop themes, fonts, layouts to kernel-level customization.
