I deal with the same thing. I had written for several small publications, and one way I overcame my disconnect from emotion was just by stream of conscious describe things. The way I’m subconsciously describing it tends to reveal my feelings for it. Directly, i really feel nothing for it but under the layers I do have a sense of emotion for it.

Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It’s been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it’s good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

What’s the best place to look for jobs these days? Going on indeed floods me with endless “insurance sales” positions. I tried Dice, but almost every job is wildly out of range for experience to pay. I’ve devolved down to scrolling over an area on google maps and clicking businesses to check their websites.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.

Most of my girlfriend’s family is deaf. They read fairly slowly and end up usually not really following subtitles very easily. Sign language is fastest for them to understand.

I like st and kitty depending on the task

About 3 years. I wasn’t good with computers because I mostly just didn’t want to mess with them, due to Microsoft being who they are. I started with Ubuntu, went to Arch, Nixos, and now Gentoo is my standard. I got into it because my brother who’s a security programmer recommended it to me. I use much, much more linux than my brother does now. I don’t have any proprietary systems in my home now. All is FOSS.

I use the bin kernel. I don’t change anything that is kernel level, so the default is fine. It cuts down on updates and install by a lot, but more important is that it’s stable. I personally love gentoo, it’s my favorite and I’ve tried basically everything.

I did a 360 and walked out the theater.

I always forget chromeos is based on gentoo.

Really what got me to learn to use the terminal more was downloading systems without tons of gui apps. Most base systems will be like that. In general my only gui apps are a file browser, web browser, and audio tools. Debian, arch, gentoo, nix. Avoid stuff like mint or endeavour if you want to force yourself into learning the terminal. The more you use it, the better you’ll get. Using gui apps isn’t bad, sometimes it just works better for specific actions. But knowing how to use the terminal helps for when nothing else works.

I think for me, it takes around 45 minutes to do a full system update when I run it. I usually run it every 3 days or so.

Ow. I didn’t use gentoo until I had good enough hardware that updates wouldn’t take 2 days to finish. I used arch or freebsd when I only had a laptop available.

Flex your makeopts jobs amount. I’ve got 30.

'Ate chrome
'Ate system d
'Ate GNOME (not racist just don’t like it)

Love me firefox
Love me openrc
Love me TTY and DWM

I don’t use chromium based applications.

Calyxos+firefox+ublock for phone

Gentoo+librewolf+ublock for the home

Still waiting for calyx to do the update. Honestly, I doubt much will really change for me.
