It's the same with leftists in my experience. The fighting is worst online

I always thought the point of the loss meme was a sort of "sad rickroll". That people thought the comic was so sad, and the joke was to remind people of it and make them sad.

Needless to say, I didn't get it. I thought "people find this really sad I guess". It was just last week I found out that people do not in fact think it is sad, and the point is just to mock the cartoon

Not using Eclipse helps. Using Scala helps even more

That sucks! I was really hopeful for the game, it looked super nice and could have given EA a real run for their money

It's impractical and I often forget that I have it. But the times I remember I laugh a bit

I have been repurposing my EOL Chromebook, and I don't think they will ever be able to compete with ThinkPads. I like my Chromebook since it is so damn small, however the specs are really bad. And everything is soldered right on the motherboard. So I have 64GB storage (plus an SD-card) and 4GB RAM. I have enabled ZRAM so the CPU is helping out a bit. But even so I struggle with the memory. Browsers are such memory hogs!

That's basically what was supposed to be the plot for the Bob's Burgers pilot episode

Thanks for all the great replies! I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with XFCE for now, because I had it lying around on a USB stick. Mostly to see if I even could get it running. So far so good, but I will definitely use some time to check out my options and see what will work the best. All replies are greatly appreciated!

I rocked Linux when doing my CS degree. It was great, and I felt I had a much better learning outcome than my peers. It will depend on requirements from your uni. I had some trouble with my school's printers (but so did those running Windows sometimes), but we had a web interface we could use. And in one class the lecturer decided that we needed to use Visual Studio. We could use Rider instead but got no support from the lecturer, so I had to figure out some stuff myself. But it was a good learning process.

A lot of stuff was much easier for me to do than my peers. Especially terminal stuff, Docker and other stuff where they often used WSL or VMs. As where I had native tools

Type two here, with depression starting when I was 13. Was diagnosed at 21. Mostly struggled with depression and hypomania, and the rapid change between the two. Being diagnosed was maybe the best thing that happened to me. Everything fell into place. It took about 7 years to get the treatment just right, but the medication was mostly working after a year or two.

I've been to a lot of meetings, and I know a lot of bipolar people. The thing with bipolar is that when you get the medication right and you do the work, the disease is really manageable. But one of the most frustrating part of the disease is that many suffering from it are not taking their meds or not doing the work. And you can't force them to either. You can lead a horse to the water, etc. I have been really focused on getting better, but I see the appeal to just don't do it. One tends to see the disease through rose-tinted glasses. And it is work to just be "normal". So just saying fuck it and ride the nice initial waves of hypomania/mania can be really tempting. But there is nothing good coming out of that.

I highly recommend reading An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison (and her other books for that matter), she is an expert in bipolar. Both as a psychologist and as a bipolar person herself. Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher was also good. I think it is good to try to understand why bipolar people think and do as they do. I do recommend support groups too. Where I'm at there are group meetings 1-2 times a week. Relatives are welcome too. Sometimes there are meetups for relatives only too.

I wish you all the best, and just know that it is possible to live a full and great life as bipolar. There are medication and life-style changes that does wonders, the hard part is sticking with it.

A bit late to the party here. These are my two cents based on my own experiences

Mint:

I'm currently running Mint on my work laptop. It's rock solid, never had any problems. Apt is good, Flatpak and Brew had everything else I needed. I love Cinnamon and I like that minimal tinkering is needed.

Bazzite:

I have a big gaming laptop running Bazzite. I mostly use it to stream games to my shitty small laptop to have a poor-man's Steam Deck. I am really impressed! Everything was just setup and working out of the box. I like the immutable concept. Everything is running in Flatpak and Brew. I can add Distrobox if anything else is needed. And rpm-ostree if I really need a program running "on the system". Haven't bothered tinkering with anything (other than changing wallpaper) because I liked it out of the box. One problem is documentation. There's just so much documentation written for non-immutable distros which won't work, since immutable distros works differently.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:

I have a small 11" Chromebook with touch screen. ChromeOS was EOL on it, and Tumbleweed and Arch were the only viable option. Went with Tumbleweed just to check it out. I'm not impressed. I hate the package manager, and the settings are all over the place. I don't really see the appeal and I much prefer EndeavourOS. With that said, it works. So I haven't bother changing distro. Everyone seems to love it, but I don't get the hype. Probably a me-problem.

EndeavourOS

It's baby's first Arch. It's just Arch with sane defaults and everything set up for you. I love aur and I love that any program you may think of is just running on Arch. Endless possibilities for tinkering. I loved it, but not currently running it. I do wish I had it on my Chromebook but I haven't bothered with the jump. I have broken it a couple of times. 100% my fault messing around with stuff I shouldn't have messed with. But it was never that hard to fix. And the wiki is AMAZING! If you don't do stupid shit, there won't be a problem.

Debian

Running it on my home server. Rock solid stuff. Great for running a server that doesn't require bleeding edge and which is just super solid and extremely well documented.

Manjaro:

Stay the fuck away from that stupid shit distro. It almost bricked my laptop and required tons of work to get back up and running. They do stupid shit and the way they hold back packages is just stupid. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Just go with EndeavourOS or Geruda or something.

Ubuntu

No. Just run Mint

NixOS

Really really cool, but you need a bachelor's in Linux and a lot of time to really reap the benefits of it. Shit documentation.

That sounds like BlendOS. I haven't tried either of them, but sounds really cool!
