I feel like there’s a certain type of personality that is drawn to Linux because they like solving software problems and Linux gives them lots of software problems to solve

but eventually they get too good at solving Linux problems and get bored, so they switch to Arch - which delivers new software problems to their computer all the time. but eventually they get too good at solving Arch problems so they switch to NixOS, which is an infinite wellspring of software problems to solve

@kasdeya . . . yeah . . . our first three distros were suse, ubuntu, then attempt 1 at linux from scratch — it went badly so we went to debian then arch as a compromise, but we still haven't really ever learned our lesson from that
