Over the years I've become accustomed to a highly customised, privacy centric, keyboard-driven workflow that makes heavy use of tiling and modality.

I'm also "the technical one" in my family and friend group...

So when people sit me down in front of their bloated, ad-powered, AI "enhanced," stock laptops, and ask me to, essentially spend an hour learning about an obscure Windows problem space, then debugging and implementing the fix, I don't blame them for not realising the pain they cause me.

there are benefits to being a technically advanced computer user:

  1. you can learn how to use linux.
  2. once you know how to use linux, you can stop fixing everyone elses problems for them.
