    Ah, you’re all good. I feel rightfully shamed by my past self from giving up slackware in the early 2000s to go almost exclusively Ubuntu specifically for the package manager. I used to would have felt my adult self was a fake linux kid as well.

      well, crucially; it was a bit. the actual that-person is an insufferable piece of shit. but like not in the same ways as im an insufferable piece of shit.

        My past self was also and insufferable piece of shit in a completely different way that my current self is. I don’t believe it is our use of linux that drives this particular personality trait as much as the underlying humanity that we share.

          yes, truly: linux use is inextricably tied to humanity, and the beauty/horror of the human condition.

          the great literary conflicts: man(in the old english sense that needed a prefix to gender it) against nature, man against man, man against ‘god’, and choice of linux distro.
