Transcript

I guarantee you that it's the same kind of people who say like, "Ah, Arch or Linux too complicated, takes too long." Who has a screen on time on their [ __ ] phone of like 6 hours >> and it says like, "You use two and a half hours scrolling on Twitter. You use two hours." Like, dude, >> what? You don't have like standard? It's the same people go like, "The only thing I care about is battery life." For what? For just staring at the screen or are you learning something? Right? Like being I'm putting it a little to a point here, right? I just realized that even the most extreme case like I just went all in on this arch hyperland setup thing. >> Mhm. >> I spent somewhere between 30 and 50 hours in the grand scheme of things. 30 50 hours nothing. Like 2 hours a day spent doom scrolling on social media. That's going to be 15 hours a week. That's like 2 weeks worth of what versus what? Like a brand new amazing operating system that I feel like this is going to propel me going forward. I'm just going to enjoy my computer so much more.
