Life sucks and then you die. Spend what time you can doing what makes you happy.

OP here. Amen to that.
>>51782463
not realizing that FOSS does not give a shit if the software is good or user friendly,but as long as it maintains your freedoms it could look like dog shit

At least video games are fun. I don't get what is appealing about ricing.

It's a distraction from the pain.

I see your analogy, but objectively you can still see how ricing is inferior to most other popular hobbies.
>>51783345
I don't envy you
You're full of shit OP.
There are tons of linux jobs.
My best friend is a sysadmin, he got hired because he could linux, him being able to properly use a terminal got him entry level it job, and he moved up from there.
Meanwhile, I'm a developer, and I wouldn't have gotten hired if I couldn't unix.
There are tons of linux jobs.

>a hobby can be superior to other hobbies
Sure thing kiddo
>>51782463
well, if you have pushed a patch to a linux distro or contributed to FOSS in forms other than posting on an online image board I'm sure you can put that in your resume and it would help you land a job.
>>51783405
I'm glad you've agreed with me. Good day.

about fucking time somebody other than i said this
>>51782463
The problem is your image OP. The nearly crying little kid represents the writer. With that you render your whole meaningful text to something from a whinny little bitch that couldn't get how linux works and how to use it properly. Not even ubuntu.
Next time you're writing this choose another image if you are not trolling. If you are trolling, congrats you chose the right image.
>the metric of validity for a hobby is how others will perceive you for it
Fucking extroverts, I swear
