mercury,

Our school started at 8:30 for a whole year, it sucked ass. Since it was high school, the classes going until 4:30 was impossible to manage with a job, I’d end up getting home around 12:00 just to get a normal shift in. Extracurriculars lasted until 6:00! No time to do homework. Waking up early is a part of life, considering we can’t just lengthen the day.

mercury,

That’s true! Personally I wanted money to buy a car. Public transport would have been nice. But it was a little bit self inflicted

Debian Linux with no desktop is like 3gb, if you’re interested.

I can’t offer a solution to fix linux’s issues, but there needs to be a community willing to answer the most basic questions honestly.

mercury,

Struggle meals have a charm, honestly. Its simple, if I had billions of dollars I’d still eat it.

"Linux Desktop: A Collective Delusion" - an unhinged rant (tadeubento.com)

Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it’s better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it’s important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls...
