Damage

lol the insignia in the corner, very American

It was plenty stupid in that context

I was its friend, but it wasn't my friend

They still ask you why their garbage doesn't work or how to run a PDF.
I'm not even a computer programmer, I do industrial automation!

When I was a kid we hung out at the record store... it was free

I'm writing this on Bazzite right now, it's awesome, works great, and it's true that the preinstalled apps and scripts are really useful for someone coming over from Windows... but not just for them! I've been a Linux user for maybe a couple of decades now and I find them very useful.

My mom used OpenSUSE maybe 10 years ago on a netbook-ish notebook and never had problems until the hardware failed

I tried playing it on the steam deck but it had a huge, weird dead zone on the right thumb stick which I couldn't fix. I'll have to try on the desktop.

Mine's a Mikrotik, cool hardware but man, do I miss OpenWRT every time I have to change a setting

My router broke the other day. I had to replace it with a new one, incompatible with the old one's backups.

That was painful, nothing worked for quite a while, save for zigbee devices which I couldn't control anyway 'cause I couldn't reach HA.
