By age 40, a Linux user stops trying to install Arch on a toaster just to prove they can. They finally settle on Debian Stable or Mint because they realize they no longer have the "mental bandwidth" to spend 6 hours configuring stuff or fix broken systems just to check their email or watch Netflix. 😊

@nixCraft By age 50, immutable seems like the future.

@trezzer @nixCraft nah, sometimes that just gives you more things to fight with.

@boxofsnoo @nixCraft It can. But mostly if you want to nerd around. :)

@trezzer

Almost 50, slided back to Linux after years on Mac, then OpenSuse, then Nixos (immutable-ish), mostly impermanent, and Qubes. Also toying with BSDs on a spare machine.

It's good to see lots of them having become a viable everyday OS, each with its own strenghts.
