Mostly stopped fucking around with stuff once I switched to fedora which seriously just works.
But then, every couple of months, I just feel the need to try something new. So I grab my 2nd laptop and start installing some esoteric distro, configure everything, even sign in to my online accounts, just to never touch that laptop again until I want to try the next weird distro.
I mean, I could just patch and do some housecleaning, and maybe adjust partitions.
OR I could reinstall fucking everything from scratch because it feels good.
I recognize this behavior in myself… please send help.
I store a lot of things on external media.
I also use a lot of Flatpaks.
Kill me.
Global filesystem=host it is then
I host a lemmy instance.
Thank you for helping host a less awful internet :)
I have a cycle that goes like this:
- I just want a system that works. (Fedora)
- The UNIX philosophy is cool. (OpenBSD)
Repeat every 6 months or so. I’m never happy with my current system.
I have an HP printer
No … your HP printer has you
Been working with Linux every day for over a decade at my job. At home I run the most boring generic shit.
I hit the point where I just throw on Fedora and call it a day
I also have a LFS VM I look at every few months and wonder if I want to do something with it
I ran out of fucks almost a decade ago, so I use basic-bitch Kubuntu and barely bother to customize it at all. (I turned on dark mode and picked a wallpaper, but that’s about it.)
My self-induced pain point is that I get mildly annoyed about snaps once in a while, but not enough to be worth switching distros.
I spend hours writing a bash script to automate something I know I’m only going to do once.
