This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

found a linux user
At this point remaining a windows user voluntarily has to be considered Stockholm syndrome.
I've been on linux for a few years now. Not going to pretend that I know what I'm doing, because I stopped being a tech enthusiast at half my current age. Aside from needing to start steam from the terminal otherwise the gui never shows up, my pc is doing exactly what I want it to and nothing more.
But then I hear cries of "but you can't play fortnite or league or some other game I don't care about"
insert the meme, you know the one "I already switched, you don't have to sell it to me"
Oh, it's the same here. Well, I do know what I'm doing, but I used to tinker with multiple linux distros in the 90s/2000s. I used gentoo "before it was cool", when you would literally leave it building your initial install for a whole weekend.
I cannot do that now. I went through the process of installing Arch, and it's been pretty good for me with not exploding completely on me (like Manjaro did). I honestly don't have the time to sit and diagnose why I'm stuck at a text only console without internet suddenly any more. Which is exactly what happened with Manjaro.
I used to be Slacker. Seeing now that I need to be a Slacker again.
I ain't a coder. I just don't want to pay for a box named to be something someone, if not fucking anyone, gets to watch me through. Just because I think I possess it doesn't mean it's not literally the other way around.
Oh but this apple...and don't tell me it ain't exactly the same fucking one they referenced back then.
ntfs is dogshit from a windows user perspective too
I believe it, I just didn't run into those particular problems myself.
You couldn't swing around a dead ms office app without hitting a linux user in here
I know, but calling it out is funny to me :3
