  • Hate is a strong word, i don’t feel strongly enough about an os to really hate it. I still use a Windows 10 pc for my music production since all of my vsts work there and continue working there even after updates and whatever else.

    My daily driver is running pop os. my main reason for switching was just a personal disagreement with the direction windows was going back around 2021ish when they were talking about integrated advertising in the file explorer. Linux was always something I wanted to get to learning so the timing just seemed right to switch over.

    I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.

    I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.










  • I hear you. When I was a teen, Internet was: A handful of focused websites or your buddies geocities / angelfire site.
    Chatting in crazy chat rooms on IRC, and having your close friends on ICQ.
    Using a dial up modem to play doom, Warcraft 2, red alert, duke nukem, quake, StarCraft, total annihilation… etc.

    Those were fun times. Felt like the bleeding edge of tech… hiding out and having fun in places people haven’t even heard of.








  • Just my anecdotal experience here, but it sounds like your self medication plan of using cannabis for depression isn’t working.
    I frequently combat depressive and high anxiety periods and find that weed doesn’t specifically help with those feelings. What it does help is my sleep so i can at least rest instead of staying up all night thinking about things i can’t change anyway. With that said, consider cutting back a bit and restricting your consumption to just before bed, and start working with a counsellor so you can start at a root cause of your depression. I hope things turn around for you soon :)
