it’s like installing linux

spend 4 weekends getting it to work, boot up into whatever gui and then it’s like “now what” and you realise why people use windows

i mean, people have hobbies that are not their lives.

maybe not broken people, but people with relatively healthy minds are generally able to do things because they interest them without losing their identity

hmm idk. it’s not difficult to think of a scenario where you’ve had fun doing something but then regret it later. in fact most of my life is that.

like what you said it’s possibly true, but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider that there may be a better way to spend your time, doing something you won’t regret.

The funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret the things you have done than to regret the things you haven't done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend would you be sure and tell her satan

I wanted to say “I regret reading your post” cos that’s quite funny but the truth of the matter is that I don’t regret reading it at all.

yospos is not a place I can come and just say whatever I think is funny or ask whatever I am wondering about because everyone else here is a real person with a real feeling and this place matters

im reaping what I have sowed by not treating the pos and the people within with the respect it deserves. for a long time I had an attitude of “it’s the internet, who cares, just post” and well.. now people think I smell, which is reasonable

but I take solace in knowing it’s better to regret what you have done than regret not doing it :razz:

wrong.

installing linux these days is burning it to a usb, inserting said usb, and clicking a few buttons.

driver problems are mostly a thing of the past and even with like, lovely systemd bootup issues or bad pulseaudio configs or bluetooth crap, it should still get to a UI even if ur running an nvidia card

like i get this image of linux as being crap and bad is funny and a good meme but it's not the case for most people with a normal, non-custom built pc

my mum has been running linux for ten years and in the last 3 or 4 she's been able to install it herself and basically manage most of the thing by herself, except when i have to come over and point at a button or something shes overlooking

and she still knows zero stuff about tech because she uses her computer mostly to do tutoring and emailing and other luser stuff
