In my experience, it’s damn near impossible (or at least used to be. I don’t use windows anymore) to get cli programs to work the way they should. I’d edit the environment variables, logout, login, restart the computer, check the variables again, set the variables again, and after about 20 times windows would go “oh yeah, there’s that compiler you were talking about”. With Linux I just get whatever language/libraries/compiler/interpreter I want and its there. At most I might have to ‘source .bashrc’ or something.

Top one has to be my favorite. I’ve gotten it once. I did manage to get it to boot and fixed it but at the time I was just like: “oh…well shit”

Ooh this is nicer looking than helvum.

I saw one person say something along the lines of “repeatedly bashing my head against a wall until it breaks”. I understood myself a little more after that.

I am in this picture and i don’t like it

There was a time where I liked configuring and compiling things. I wrote my own scripts and pkgbuilds for arch. I’ve broken and fixed my system more times than I can count. I don’t mind it, but god I’m lazy. So I run POP now cause shit works and I don’t really have to mess with it.

Aaaaaand it’s on my wishlist

Same here. Used to run Arch and got really into tinkering with the kernel and wm configs. I’m also incredibly lazy and I just want things to work. I switched to pop_os and haven’t really looked back (well…sort of… there’s a voice in the back of my head screaming at me to switch to Endeavour, but I’ve been ignoring it for now)
