In know what you guys are thinking. “But you are posting in the Fediverse on a phone with GrapheneOS flashed via the command line in a Debian based distro!”
I know I know! But truth be told I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! I WISH I could be one of the greats who preaches the gospel of “Just install Linux” and who didn’t constantly ponder flashing stock android again. However its not that simple.
I’m a power user at best! Half the time I’m copying and pasting commands into the terminal. I try to smile when the Battle.Net launcher fails and buggs out through Lutris and tell myself “Its OK! Who needs to play WoW anyway! I’ll just replay Half Life again!” But in reality there’s a part of me that wants to just restart into my dual boot windows 11 partition with my tail between my legs.
I’m not worthy to be on Lemmy! DONT LOOK AT ME! (I’d type a crying Emoji, but my Foss degoogled keyboard doesn’t have Emojis)
Don’t feel bad.
I was the computer kid when I was young but I’ve fallen all the way off and am fine with it.
Tbf, computers are so boring now. To have been around when it was really booming, and you were coding machine language and talking to the actual hardware in a pc, now THAT would be cool and motivating. Now its just stealing code or using Ai code to make a bloated java website. Like all things, it just got boring.
Trying to get myst running on a p3 with 256m ram was actually fun and interesting. Now you just install steam, ha
It’s not boring though. You just have to find things. I see so many interesting projects, and so many interesting ideas that I want to implement but run into time/skill issues. Summer is when I can just forget about other things and develop what I want, but I think after university I won’t have much time at all.
