Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.
In all fairness my mental health IS better since I've moved to Linux.
Turns out constant ads, AI crap I can't disable, the feeling of being spied on and other corporate tech-bro soul-sucking shenanigans is not great for one's mental health.
Funny enough my mental health has been improved by watching Star Trek. Whenever I notice myself doomscrolling at home I’ve started watching it instead. It’s something I’d always meant to watch and I’m enjoying the concept of people trying to live up to higher ideals
More people should figure this out. Star Trek is essential to a healthy media diet.
I also recommend a regular dose of stand-up comedy.
I would do that, but a lot of standup comedians have taken to ranting against people like me for daring to be offended when they insult us. I miss when I could just throw on any random standup comedy and have a good time without having to check if there’s a transphobic rant in it
Yeah.
Annecdotaly, Dropout.tv has a good number of LGBTQ employees, seems conscious not to shit on people, and has a growing library of stand up.
I think you just described why being on social media is bad for our mental health. Or most of the internet now really. I've never had ads or AI shit in the tens of thousands of Windows deployments I've had to push out at companies. I also don't have them on my families personal machines.
It's a bad move by Microsoft to include that shit... But it isn't them that got my mental health this way. They are just falling into the well if everyone is shanking public mental health and making money off it .. I guess we have to as well otherwise our shareholders quite literally will sue us for not attempting to make them more money at every stage all of the time reguardless of the harm it could cause.
Turns out capitalism might not be good for our mental health..

Lemmy users: mAYbe YOu ShOuLD trY thERaPy
Yes! then you can have other mental health problems to distract from your existing ones.
For best results, try Gentoo.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
This comment is the most Linux thing I've ever seen. It's the very definition of pedantic.
It's a famous copypasta
I used to be all fucked up on drugs, now I am all fucked up on Linux.
Hooked on Linux worked for me!
If you’re triggered, maybe you should try Linux!
It's not even over when you switch to Linux as I found out.
"You're not using Arch? What's wrong with you?"
"Mint is for idiots who don't understand Linux."
Etc.
lemmy users be like: linux, star trek, elon musk, trump, socialism, linux
Forgot 🏳️⚧️
They already said linux
But one of those is a community of people banded together for mutual aid to protect their basic rights and the other....oh....I see what you did there.
shocking: users of open-source reddit alternative like open-source things
There's a fine line between liking something, and obsessing over it to the point you're evangelizing strangers against their wishes.
I googled my symptoms and it says here I have "compatibility issues".
That way, instead of taking care of yourself, you can the care of your machine !
I see a lot of the "even once you pick a Linux distro you get yelled at for using the wrong one" and like I just haven't seen that here?
Lemmy is by far the chilliest place of Linux users I've ever fucking seen. Even when I posted an issue on the Linux mint forum I got fucking told "well you used XFCE, there's your issue" despite it being the better choice for that system
We absolutely will pressure people to try it, because we're a cult. Meetings on Thursdays at 9PM for my local chapter
Linux has helped me rediscover my love for computers. And the many small and larger hobby projects I can now embark on because of it do in fact help with my mental health.
I like linux a lot but I think NixOS has been a terrible mistake for my ADHD.
It's useful if your mental health issues are caused by Microsoft. For example, if I ever have to go through another license audit, I may have a psychotic break.
It would help though
I increased my antidepressants due to ArchLinux
I use Xanax, BTW.
ngl it sounds like a distro
Very accurate
BTW maybe you should try gym
...or mint. Mint is good. It's based on Ubuntu, but greener and less commercial. Also less orange. And it'll feel moderately familiar without being even slightly the same.
Use Solaris. You can't have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.
If based on reality, I'm sorry to hear it and how it gets better soon. As a Linux user for over a decade, this is extremely funny.
Now, have you heard of Plan9 from Bell Labs?... /s
