And the ones who install Arch on a MacBook need extra special therapy.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

☺️i love my arch on my macbookpro from 2009 😂
Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work.. But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro
Men?
It's the meme format:
"Men will literally (something) but not go to therapy"
People who use it don't necessarily endorse the original view, but are making fun of it.
I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women
Then they put on the socks and become girls
The amount of time and effort needed to go through an Arch installation and succeeding probably is more therapeutic than paying $100 for a session of therapy. It's enough to make them finally come out after all 🤷
Legit I brought my first thigh highs and my T430s (now quite modded) within like 2 weeks of each other.
I enjoy this activity too as a non binary person
Wouldn't that be Gentoo?
Therapy is expensive, I'd have to make appointments, leave my home during my free time, talk about myself to someone, and probably won't help because my problems are external. No thanks.
Buying a new laptop and installing an OS is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that is actually rewarding.
Therapy actually often helps with external problems too. If you tried another therapist every time you installed a distro, you might have found one that can solve your problems.
Okay so multiply all the other problems I listed by how many therapists I have to try and no they can't solve my problems unless they're gonna buy me a house or pay off my debts or something so I can actually get ahead financially.
I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.
I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn't boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.
Yeah because all we really need is something to focus our rage at.
You should try gentoo as a therapy replacement next. It's basically the adult version of maintaining a long running Animal Crossing save.
Every morning I wake up, grab a coffee and update my system @world. Almost every day it goes without a hitch and I watch the system evaluate and resolve any incongruities that might emerge from updates by itself. Other times I might need to make a intervention in the dependencies to guide it to a resolution; but it's a small nudge in the right direction, like tweaking a miniature ship inside a bottle.
This is partially tongue in cheek but I unironically get a lot of joy out of administrating my PC: Having it completely customized and working exactly like I need it to.
My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.
the aliens watching me for entertainment: oh no, he has installed gentoo and qubes, he is too far gone
Fuck that's relatable I bought one like 4 days ago and it just arrived :'D
I mean, if it helps why not! I honestly really do have a lot of fun tinkering with Linux, it's one of the big draws of the OS to me.
woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don't see anything wrong there either.
just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.
I feel like I need to get back into Gentoo just to add a lil spice to the horde of Arch users around here :P
Still gonna use Arch on my laptop, bytheway 😅
But I need therapy after installed Arch
And I'll do it again.
until their egg cracks and they put on the thigh highs :P
I don't think you need to be trans to have a desire for the wonderful vascular benefits of stockings.
I tried going to a dominatrix but that just wasn't enough punishment.
