    You should try gentoo as a therapy replacement next. It’s basically the adult version of maintaining a long running Animal Crossing save.

    Every morning I wake up, grab a coffee and update my system @world. Almost every day it goes without a hitch and I watch the system evaluate and resolve any incongruities that might emerge from updates by itself. Other times I might need to make a intervention in the dependencies to guide it to a resolution; but it’s a small nudge in the right direction, like tweaking a miniature ship inside a bottle.

    This is partially tongue in cheek but I unironically get a lot of joy out of administrating my PC: Having it completely customized and working exactly like I need it to.

    Damn I’ve done this stuff. Even installed Gentoo on Raspberry Pi 400 for no reason. Maybe I’m not taking the right meds?

    Incidentally:

    • which models are the best new old?
    • what are the best places to get them?

    …asking for a friend.

    I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.

    Yes, because not many other things can be considered both a symptom and a cure.

    woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don’t see anything wrong there either.

    just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.
