[selftest]

I took years off from Linux and recently hopped back in. What a convoluted mess it’s all become! I’m currently using a “packaged” version of Arch (arcolinux) and the whole thing is just a hodgepodge of things that might work together but probably don’t. I like to tinker as much as the next person on HN, but editing configs all day truly takes away from doing “real” work.

However, the Mac problem is also annoying... not having $1200+ every two or three years to spend in new hardware is limiting. While it’s true that you can “code on anything”, resource overhead becomes a consideration at some point... which is why I switched back to Linux, but then I’m back at my first complaint.
