  • I agree with the sentiment because it is a pain to find a distro which you want. But the reason for this is that Linux has given you the luxury to pick and choose what distro and DE you want. When you go to Windows or Mac, people just accept that it is what it is.

    That being said, I will blame the Linux community to some extent for promoting “complicated” (like Arch) or too barebones distros (like Debian) to newbies. The shock of moving from Windows to Linux is already a hurdle for most. When you add the need for tinkering and troubleshooting from day one, I can see why people would quit.

    We are indirectly focusing on a handful of “distros” as most distros ship with KDE, Gnome or something similar.







  • I have taken long breaks in my education (a pretty good one) due to being lazy depressed (being depressed but not sad per se, having executive dysfunction).

    My friends have moved on from college and I am stuck. It always feels that my problems were not as important or as big to waste years of my life.

    I have accepted the fact that it is my life and it is not a race but sometimes I do feel that it would have been much simpler and better if I had just completed my education while being miserable because I was miserable anyways.

    I am kind of rambling because I don’t think such a deep and vast topic can be explained in a comment.
