Yes! then you can have other mental health problems to distract from your existing ones.
For best results, try Gentoo.
I use Arch btw. Got the sexy socks to prove it.
I use arch in my boxers. Usually haven’t made it to socks, but if I had arch sock you better believe they’d be sexy. I use arch btw.
Sock pics or it didn’t happen
proof?
The proof that he uses Arch is that he told you about it. Arch user confirmed.
Was more interested in the sexy sock pic tho
Not on this profile daddy.
Where do I get these socks? Wait! Did I just fall for a drop-ship scam?
Arch users are the vegans of the Linux world
Shadowsocks is sexy.
I heard very desperate people also use Linux From Scratch. Might help. Might induce neurosis.
I did that once, then went to install a package manager, and realized I was just basically building Arch, so I deleted the VM.
I use debian but I got enough mental health problems already… like somehow I cannot backport packages, gimp doesn’t work on wayland, it puts me back to tty occasionally, et cetra.
I love it though
gimp doesn’t work on wayland
Ouch. It works for me on Debian 12 and Wayland 47.
I like Krita way better, anyway, now, though.

Gentoo is for everypony!
Yes brother, may they be blessed with the stage 0 tarball.
Blessings for hours and days.
Frustration is not a mental problem, it’s a perfectly normal response
Uh huh, uh huh, and what about obsessiveness?
If I could give awards I’d be doing so on this comment. Absolute gold. 🥇
Use and maintain lfs/blfs setup for peak misery
I use Arch, BTW.
I use Gentoo, that distro is rock solid and easy to use.
And I build my own kernel. It’s really not that hard.
Can’t focus on mental problems if you’re too busy reinstalling arch.
Damn you’re right…I should install arch
My brother used to endlessly recompile Gentoo. I like just watching the terminal scrolling. Hmm, maybe I need a gentoo-compiling-simulator…
Its a bit like having an ant farm or taking the hood off a complex machine and watching it work. I miss compiling in Gentoo.
Hey guys, what distro do you use?
I’ve never had to reinstall Arch! Never! It’s probably the most stable system I’ve used. Additionally, I didn’t update one for 3 years, and when I ran a system update it worked perfectly.
just set up shell scripts to help yourself reinstall arch

I’m about to need some therapy with the computer problems I’m dealing with, I tell you what.
Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.
Holy C is best C
I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I am all fucked up on Linux.
Hooked on Linux worked for me!
Haven’t got time to do drugs now that I’m using Arch.
But have you heard of NixOS? In case you still have time left…
Psst… Have you heard of Rust yet?
I have nightmares where the borrow checker is shouting at me incomprehensibly about the literal bugs and I shoot them with the clone laser and the borrow checker stops shouting for ten seconds, but now there are two bugs for each original bug and Tim Berners Lee floats by saying it’s not very idiomatic and I shouldn’t expect to get to work on time if I just keep stopping along the journey to spend all my time cloning the bugs.
Haha. On a more serious note, it gets better over time. I recommend keeping a really functional programming style in Rust and only opt out to imperative programming, when it just makes sense (e.g. to optimize, avoid allocs etc.). I’d say Rust is currently my most productive programming language, because I mostly avoid the time-consuming debugging part due to the strictness.
Thanks for the encouragement, kind fellow former redditor.
This is 100% true
Please leave reddit comments on reddit where they belong.
No-no—he’s out of line, but he’s right…
Even Reddit has rules against low effort comments in lieu of upvotes. They don’t enforce them, but they have it as a rule.
I don’t care that they were right about their “this”-style comment. I care that they thought I should read that instead of someone else’s comment.
It’s all about the signal:noise ratio.
shocking: users of open-source reddit alternative like open-source things
There’s a fine line between liking something, and obsessing over it to the point you’re evangelizing strangers against their wishes.
evangelizing? Evangelizing!? EVANGELIZING!?!?!?!
Yeah that’s fair, carry on.:-)
Every church needs their evangelists and missionaries. And the Church of Tux is no different or better than the churches that have gone before.
It’s a people thing.
You mean the people commenting on the Linux communities?
Not much “against their wishes” if they keep looking there.
Yeah but what if your option is objectively better even if not anyone has your exact usage?
refrains real hard from proselytizing
Can I interest you in the word of our lord and savior Dick Stallman?
Tell that to chromium
Git outta here
You know what, this is the first time I realized this even though it should be obvious. It makes so much more sense now.
Okay but have you considered
Was this an official thing?
What do you mean Was? Ms. Cirus still uses it.
There’s hardware and everything.
I googled my symptoms and it says here I have “compatibility issues”.
