  • My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

    It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.

    It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.

    And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.

    Diagnosed. Coffe gives me energy, keeps me awake. ADHD meds give me energy and ability to actually do things. They also make me feel normal.

    So the calmong sleepy thing not universal. Its also not used for diagnoses, similar to “talking lots” is not in itself a diagnoses.

    FYI Ridalin makes me crash in the middle of the day, and if I forget to take it at noon I’m ADHD brain awake by night. Vyvance is much better at riding it out all day and then just crashing.




  • IDK man. I tried Linux a few times, and it never stuck. Things don’t work, it involves endless reading, or the latter then the prior on loop (where as windows just works).

    I’m trying out endeavour ATM and hopefully it will stick. But it took me a solid few attempts, over days, to find out “where does pacman get its apps from”. I know the answer is more conplex, but eventually I foind and the arch web db…with the help of perlexoty.AI.

    I didn’t realise it was different than the AUR web db look basically identical. I never noticed the URL difference. As far as Linux has come its still little frustrations that hold it back for even semi tech literste pople.

    I’m trying to save from posting in forums (and have rooted a few androids with less than a handfull of posts) but I can’t even work out from the wiki how I can give pacman a list apps to install when it’s spaced out on each line, without making it a .txt file. It’s pretty impossible to “just read” and work out simple things.

    Maybe it’s just like my opinion. (I am liking endevour so far).
