    you aren’t a true linux user if you haven’t considered living your life alone at least a couple of times, and knew that you would be okay with it.

      Speaking of linux and living alone, the times I’ve managed to solve tech problems without the internet, using only documentation, have always made me feel like a badass

        it’s some real shit.

        It’s better if you sleep on that shit, and realize what the solution is after the fact, only to have it work first try, that shits so good.

        The only thing i’ve ever experienced that was better was unfucking some fucked wiring for a technical minecraft design, it’s hard but god does it feel so fucking good.

        When you go on the Internet, nine times out of ten all you’ll get is idiots telling you “install arch noob” (they’ve been running linux for all of six months), “it works here” (different environment altogether), “you should redo all of your project with <pet project> instead” (sure, let’s spend three months redoing everything)…

        So the documentation is typically a safer bet. Not always, but often.

      A new sign of loneliness is being a linux user(?) I get trashed by my friends for using Linux and none of them using. That’s exactly the point.

        the joke is that you have your priorities set straight.

        No time for relationships when you could be learning about the kernel my friend.

        also to be clear, it’s not loneliness if you’re content with being alone. Alone, and lonely, are two separate sides of the same coin. You can feel lonely in a room full of people, and you can be/feel alone when around nobody, without feeling lonely.
