And soon AI will take that away from you.

>>106316409
how?

I understand going full retard when you can configure your own system with minutiae of particulars, but that's like when you're a fucking babby engaging with linux for the first time, if you don't eventually make your own script and/or metapackages for setting your system up in one go why the fuck are you using a diy linux distro to begin with? Install the distro in a vm, make some snapshots and then go crazy playing around with themes and shit if you like it so much.

Didn't ask, not bumping

For over a decade, I've installed it at least once a year, sometimes two or even three times occasionally, but ever lasted more than a week. This time I've set a new record with 10 days. Will it last? Time will tell.

Feels really good atm though, I think I pushed myself to make a better effort in getting it set up this time. More inclined to explore for solutions, workarounds, rather than just saying "fuck this". I have a VM too, for the one program I refuse to live either; haven't tried that before..

Linux is only cool if you're a programmer or the only thing you do on your PC is web browsing

This is the way to go about linux

>>106316378 (OP)
Stop using reddit and unixporn all you really need is to steal a few config files from github until your shit is functional enough, it won't take more than a week of very light ricing if you're a newbie on a very riceable distro like arch

That's a great idea. I could install some linux in vmware on Windows, then configure it to my liking... and if I decide to nuke my windows setup I can then apply this linux setup without wasting time.
In the past all I changed was setting up screen and zsh plus x11/xfce with few utils - not much. Screen/terminal is pretty much all what you need.

Oh wow, Linux works.

but let me guess, you need more?

You had your fun, now you can go back to Windows and get something useful done.

learn bash scripting or python and ffmpeg and start datahoarding. that'll level you up.

For me the change was pretty seamless, I've no clue what about the penguin troubles people so much

That's on you for being a thinker tranny. All you have to do on a new install is pick which side of the screen you want your taskbar and find a cool wallpaper.
