Open source operating systems and software have put the joy back in computing for me. They've given me something to do that requires continuous learning which thereby helps stave off the major depressive and generalized anxiety disorders that I currently suffer from. Just being able to tinker is kind of like my stim.
100% agreed. My main computer is a beast of a Linux system that is in a state of continual improvement. If I'm stressed, I just make little fixes here and there.. try new things, create new little tools. It's extremely relaxing to have something to dump one's tinker energy into!
Yea i can relate much, its alot of fun.
