I’m unironically like that with apple things. The last time I used an apple things was 15 years ago. Im comfortable doing just about anything technical on windows, Linux and android, but hand me an iPhone or a MacBook and I instantly realise how those elderly technologically impaired people feel - completely lost.
So this morning I had to go to my mother’s house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn’t working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved.
I’m not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything 😆
Thank you, because on here people don’t shut the fuck up about it even if the thread doesn’t involve Linux. They’re as bad as Cross-Fitters and Vegans.
I’ve never told anyone IRL that I use Linux.
Nor have I actually spoken to anyone for more than a few words since I started using Linux.
I don’t try to but people will ask me what the fuck is going on with my computer and then I have to oblige 😭
I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I’d rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.
Just recently me assisting thru remote desktop:
Windows popup comes up
Me: Cancel
He: Presses OK
Me: WHY did you press Ok, I said cancel
He: I thought we’re supposed to continue with this
The magic words I use are, “Oh! This isn’t Linux. I’m not sure how to use these, anymore.”
If anyone irl asks, I’m “trying to learn how to use Linux”. Which is technically true, I still learn new things all the time!

It’s never too late. Don’t wait! Go outside, stop the first person you’ll see, look them deeply in the eyes and say it. Say it loud and proud!
That’s too casual. You’re going to want to plan a distro reveal party first.
This worked so well that I actually got a date! At the magistrates Court is a weird venue but whatever.
Are young among people a lot?
You’re doing it now! /s

Tbf, here it is (mostly?) often a joke, whereas… 🤪😳🙃🙄😞😤

I heard symptoms get worse the longer you don’t talk about it.
I haven’t either but I do find myself having to master the urge more and more.
And yet here you are
