Linux has helped me rediscover my love for computers. And the many small and larger hobby projects I can now embark on because of it do in fact help with my mental health.

Me dealing with serious computer problems
Lemmy users: mAYbe YOu ShOuLD trY thERaPy
I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I am all fucked up on Linux.
Hooked on Linux worked for me!
I googled my symptoms and it says here I have "compatibility issues".
I once had trouble with my arches.....
They recommended Debian.
It's useful if your mental health issues are caused by Microsoft. For example, if I ever have to go through another license audit, I may have a psychotic break.
You know how people always tell depressed people to exercise because it actually works in a lot of cases?
I increased my antidepressants due to ArchLinux
I use Xanax, BTW.
ngl it sounds like a distro
shocking: users of open-source reddit alternative like open-source things
There's a fine line between liking something, and obsessing over it to the point you're evangelizing strangers against their wishes.
Tell that to chromium
Git outta here
Yes, or Lenny users just in general
Edit: I’m not fixing it
For what it's worth the seizures and the Linux started about the same time it's just both have gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse lately. Computer's running great, hate waking up in the ER though.
The issue of lemmy users telling you to use linux can be solved by using linux
No! Not this Linux. My Linux is better because i can install the squabblesquanks myself and the doodledot UX is just more like in Hatted-Archer-Buntu 2.374. that one was the best OS ever made, but they messed it up with release 2.4
I use Linux btw.
Yep! It worked for me!
Using windows is a serious mental health issue? Well..... Hahahahaah
If based on reality, I'm sorry to hear it and how it gets better soon. As a Linux user for over a decade, this is extremely funny.
Now, have you heard of Plan9 from Bell Labs?... /s
No, but I've heard of plan 9 from outer space.
After decades of hearing how bad that film is, I finally broke down and watched it.
The incredible terrible reputation that precedes it doesn't even remotely do justice to how very very bad it is.
But also, it has Tor in it. That's pretty cool.
"I'm going to throw myself off a bridge!"
"I use Arch btw"
SCNR
Yes! then you can have other mental health problems to distract from your existing ones.
For best results, try Gentoo.
I use Gentoo, that distro is rock solid and easy to use.
And I build my own kernel. It's really not that hard.
I use debian but I got enough mental health problems already... like somehow I cannot backport packages, gimp doesn't work on wayland, it puts me back to tty occasionally, et cetra.
I love it though

Well, you should!
Have you met our lord and saviour, Richard Stallman?
Does this refer to the overall Lemmy meta or was there a specific "sucks your mum died; maybe it was from the shame of you using Adobe products" moment?
sucks your mum died; maybe it was from the shame of you using Adobe products
I would never say that to anyone. Lol.
But I would probably wear it on a t-shirt.
I was taking a stab at the meta. Although i don't doubt this has happened somewhere
Can't focus on mental problems if you're too busy reinstalling arch.
I've never had to reinstall Arch! Never! It's probably the most stable system I've used. Additionally, I didn't update one for 3 years, and when I ran a system update it worked perfectly.
