Verycomputer?
Wantonly?
Huh?
Since this is linux memes, I am on day 10 of my work being unable to fix windows 11 (and I am not doing it for them) while I continue to use my Linux machines for everything because they just work.
Yup. My Arch+LUKS+KDE setup freezes on first boot half of the time and I can't be bothered to keep trying to fix it because it takes less than 5 minutes of my time per day and I run backups of the important stuff once or twice a week, and I'll likely distrohop within the next 12 months. Worst case scenario, I wipe the whole thing, archinstall from scratch, and restore from backup.
(well, worst case that doesn't result in physical/BIOS damage...)
This is the greatest truth of being a computer person. Our shit is also broken, just in ways you'd never heard of.
I'm still on XFCE + Compiz because Wayfire doesn't support global hotkeys (more of wayland's fault) nor does it have 3d windows for the cube effect.
KDE wayland has global hotkeys, so does hyprland. seems like a skill issue for Wayfire.
And by "be productive" you mean looking at cat pictures, right?
This logic can be applied to many hobbies, frankly.
My rack is chained up in the garage and beaten into submission. I get an alert if something is down and an alert over a week if there's an upgrade. I put those alerts on silent so i only see them when i pull the shade down on the phone.
Computers are better seen and not heard.
My cousin is 30 years a mechanic. The only reason his car works at all is because he retired at 48 (#union).
Yeah my cars all have problems but I know what they are so I can fix them later. I worry more about folks driving about with a failed wheel bearing and 0 brakes that they have no clue about..
My server went from doesn't work and I don't know why to it does work and I don't know how
I would regard myself as Quite Computer, not Very, and yet, have still managed to bugger my Linux box by messing with the bootloader.
No drive or USB ports recognised on boot. No way to boot from iso. Yay me.
making an IT professional scratch their head and go "What the.. how..?!" is almost a badge of honor.
Man I posted this and now my servers down. Looks like maybe my NVMe drive failed. Canβt catch a break.
Guys and gals, please use Niri. It has animations, blur and wayland.
Never crashed in my one year of using it.
Not a developer or power user but the tinkering and unstable mindset fades away as one gets older.
That's why, as a computer nerd, I use a non modified Linux Mint.
My computer is just a bunch of duct taped config files Iβve forgotten about waiting to be invalidated by the next update
