Does anyone else also have a hard time with computers? Despite being interested in learning about them, growing up in the age of the internet and using them everyday, I still do have problems with them all the time.
Like, why am I having such a hard time with disk partitions on Linux and other stupid shit. Can't even download some game to distract myself since I'm too retarded to even allocate storage for my disk. And the more I try the more frustrated I get, until the point that I start thinking about stopping to use computers and tech.
Are these kinds of issues(and reactions) common
among robots? Or is it just a failed normie non-autistic (but low IQ) thing?
And what is the general robot view on technology as a whole?

to get into linux you have to enjoy figuring out the stuff like that tbdesu

I love computers, I am good at computers, my work is computers, only computer will be my friend, only computer cares about me. Talking or teaching others about computers is hard, because there are many ways to do things and they get upset if it's not way they read or know, or get frustrated and blame innocent computer or you instead of themselves for skipping ahead.

I only used a computer rarely when I was a kid... a very young kid.
And it was only to play minecraft at 2fps.

Will I be ostracised from society if idk how to use a PC?

>you have to enjoy figuring out the stuff like that tbdesu
I do and I was having a good time learning about the system. I was mostly copying code up until now (although I'd take the time to read them and use the "man" command to learn more about them)and sometimes fix some code. In general it has been a fun time and I still think that I like to solve those problems. The main issue is that sometimes I don't really feel like doing so...
I might postpone it to sometime when I'm up to the challenge ig.

it's a good idea to use linux in a vm until you get comfortable with it since then you can just mess with it when you feel like it instead of being stuck in it

>only computer will be my friend
Humans really are hard creatures to deal with. But do you really feel like your relationship with a computer(or computers in general) can replace human connection?
>blame innocent computer
I'd never blame them. Everything going wrong is my fault. I'll probably take it more slowly and fix things when I feel like it as I get better at Linux and code.

I have 3 IT/STEM degrees with a niche expertise field and I fucking hate computers
Advice: bruteforce your tech issues with chatbots while knowing chatbots can fuck up so you'll have to look up proper sources anyway

>Will I be ostracised from society if idk how to use a PC?
Probably not, over the years, using a computer has turned into a necessity. But, there are even cases of kids/teens that can't even create a folder on windows. They are computer illiterate
Do you mainly use your phone to browse the internet?

>>81843573
>use linux in a vm until you get comfortable
I have already done that, but had never faced this issue since the vm uses a different kind of storage (Idk how it works though)

>>81843471 (OP)
yes computers and OS's are annoying. even though programming is not as bad

will never understand anyone who enjoys dealing with that autism. the annoying part is some things work easier with linux so you have to deal with it sometimes. or even worse, you'll then have to script something on windows

ask chatgpt and then beg on stackoverflow if it doesnt work

Computers are made by super autistic people, non-autists should indeed not try to understand them

>>81843603
>I fucking hate computers
Could you elaborate on the reasons why you hate them. Since you are an expert, I'd be interested in your listening to your views.

>>81843594
>But do you really feel like your relationship with a computer(or computers in general) can replace human connection?
I don't, but people keep hurting me really badly. It will be a while before I can talk to people again.
>>81843603
>STEM degrees with a niche expertise field
Same as me, love computer. Hate F.A.G.M.A.N. who corrupt computers.

Do you think I should give up? Despite the fact that in another reply I stated that I was mostly enjoying my time.

1. It's mostly how any info is typically made academia-style inaccessible and overcomplicated for no reason only than "such are the customs" and people being groomed into it. I prefer to keep my mindset that of a layman because I self-educate by Feynman method, so this pisses me off extra.
2. You'll also always be reliant on developers and manufacturers not fucking something up, including making stuff intuitively understandable. Both proprietary and open source stuff is a fucking joke because you may get a dysfunctional datamining blackbox and dependency hell mismatch over crappy unchecked commits as your only quick alternatives. To do titan-tier work of DIY or debug a whole software pack to fix the dependency/bug hell is back to 1.
3. I hate how hardware just wears down from being used, but that's on me for having deep-seated assumptions that still hurt after being broken.
4. Poor software optimization, SEO, and adware, and datamining and DRM and other code bloat becoming normalized forces more and more hardware resources creep. This trend only gets worse.
5. There's often a lack of much needed documentation even on the basics. I nearly fried a motherboard just to experiment-check a port.
6. AI and crypto mining fucking the parts markets up.
7. Octillions of protocols, methods, frameworks becoming industry standards side by side and they all get updated and deprecated month by month. Getting into some fields from scratch professionally is too fucking tough over this even if your stable fundamentals are good.
8. Snobbist, toxic pseudoculture of pseudoelitism is the practical standard anywhere. I lurk but participate in zero tech communities at all. Dudebro oneupping taking after prison/army/school hazing trauma.
9. Slang makes it too tough to get into a field unless you enter a community to get harassed until you learn what their probably maybe possible useful slang reference frameworks mean.
10. Pop-tech culture is cancer.
I love computers without that!

>>81844135
Wow, that's lots of stuff. I didn't even understand it all since I'm too dumb, but I'll (hopefully) get there.
>9. Slang makes it too tough to get into a field
I feel like that's for most things. when you're new on an imageboard, for example, you typically want to lurk before taking part in the conversations.
>3. I hate how hardware just wears down from being used
That sucks too. And it kind of reminds me of the ThinkPad meme as an alternative for that. Of how you can buy one cheap and change parts like a regular Desktop and it runs well with linux. Although you'd still have to get new parts from time to time.
>4. Poor software optimization
That was one of the reasons I decided to change to linux, since windows had started to run slower and I knew that it would become even worse + i didn't want to move to windows 11.

>>81843603
>bruteforce [...] while knowing chatbots can fuck up
This is a solid method that I can attest to as well.

As someone who recently graduated with a degree in IT, and has been daily driving debian for almost 2 years now, I whole-heartedly agree on #2 and #4. Additionally, wrt #7, I often see people in tech spaces on twitter/x who are discussing a new technical thing almost every month. After being exposed to the breadth of information there is in something like (eg.) front-end web development while I was in school, I can't imagine switching frameworks/tools 24/7.

To add on all of that, I'm currently not even bothering with getting a job in tech because of the state of the market. We'll see where the wind takes me but hopefully I didn't waste 4 years of my life (fully paid with scholarships, thankfully, so at least I didn't waste money on it).

>>81843471 (OP)
Yeah I bought a pretty decent pc to play vidya but pretty much everything crashes and the usual google-sourced troubleshooting has done fucking nothing and I'm too tech illiterate to fix it

>>81843471 (OP)
Try Ubuntu. That's the best intro I can give, but desu linux is not a prime time PC experience. More of a tinkerer project.
