What you do?
You start getting into Linux, buy open source t shirts, grow a beard, listen to Stallman talks, and stop interacting with normies ever again. Only communicate through text travelling over open source technologies.
Make sure you spend enough hours in front of a keyboard to get a very pale skin color, reddish eyes and a rounded spine and neck. Pull down curtains so you see your screen better and avoid sunlight.
Drink lots of soda while sitting completely still so you gain fat and lose muscles.
I use Arch btw.
I had to quit my job not long ago to recover from burnout, and for some reason I decided to start using Arch btw even though I'm a kind of a linux noob (maybe as a more acceptable form of self-harm) and spent the next month locked away to tinker with it.
My setup is pretty much complete now, so I guess I'll just focus on growing a beard this time. Thanks for the great tips!
The beard has to extend to your neck. Very important.
Cut a newbie some slack! No one told me I had to use Arch as my first distro, I started with Ubuntu. Couldn't a 5 o'clock shadow suffice as a start?

According to this chart, a 5 o'clock shadow would make you a SteamOS user. SteamOS is based on Arch, though, so... it's a wash.
This could be an alternative: https://files.catbox.moe/7g2wmz.jpg
LMAO I'm on Fedora and that beard matches mine exactly. What sort of wizardy...
The chart never lies, except for the times that it lies.
Oh my god there's a chart? Lmaooo
Haha no problem. :) It's a great distro. And you know the old joke...
:)
I'll agree once I can figure out how to at least get my laptop suspend on idle. Why are there no clear docs on it???
what desktop environment are you using.. my laptop works great on Arch.
i use arch btw
Using bspwm because I wanted even more keyboard shortcuts to remember ๐ฅด
I'm on the Gnome train myself
There should be. What graphics card dom you have? Usually these issues are caused by using Nvidia since they don't care about Linux and the driver is closed source.
Ya I have Nvidia, but afaik the reason suspend on idle doesn't work is because there's nothing sending idle hints to systemd and I haven't found any resources on how to do that. I still have so much to learn ;__;
This stuff is tricky and we all just follow wikis and try to fix things like that. We can't all be kernel developers. :)
She might not want to grow a beard.
Girls can't grow beards. But all genders can be heartbroken.
If you follow my advice you will not be heartbroken again. In fact, you won't date anyone ever again, so you have lots of time to sharpen those skillz.
