Stop Needing Things

Get a Mac, bestie! Which one? The latest of course. Bro, get Windows 10 LTSC. Here, let me give you the links... NO! Linux is a kernel, not an operating system. What you're referring to is GNU/Linux, or as I'd like to call it, GNU + Linux. NOOOO! Don't get a meme distro. Stick to the Arch or Debian or their main forks! NOOOO! Not Ubuntu! Canonical is evil! Get Mint if you want debian based instead. NOOOO! Not that DE! cinnamon sucks! Use XFCE instead. NOOOO! You don't need Photoshop. What do you mean you need CMYK support? What's that? NOOOO! It's not GNU + Linux's fault that your wifi isn't working! Type these 20 commands into the terminal, that should fix it. It didn't? Well, let's try reinstalling the OS... NOOOO! You don't actually need to play PC games. Look, we have Tacart! Good enough. NOOOO! Don't use Google workspace! Google spies on you! Have you heard of LibreOffice? Uhm... automatic file sync? uhhh... uhhhh... STOP NEEDING THINGS!

A chaotic Linux enthusiast rejects every practical software and hardware choice, insisting on increasingly obscure free and open-source alternatives. The joke is that ideological technical perfectionism turns a simple computer recommendation into an endless rant, until the user is told to stop needing useful features like Photoshop, Wi‑Fi, cloud tools, and PC games.
