Tell me you're new to Linux without telling me you're new to Linux.

Ack, my deleted comment is visible somehow!

...Anyway, I agree. I wasn't saying it's necessarily bad, just that there seemed to be an influx of new posts that sound like they came from Linux virgins.

I tried vanilla Arch once as a VM and got stuck.

I might try it again one day. For now, EndeavourOS is a good middle ground between Arch itself and Manjaro.

It helps to remember that the mind is not a truth machine, but a survival machine.

I recommend learning some psychology. The more you know about how the mind works, the easier it is to understand and spot logical fallacies, both in yourself and others.

Edit: also, you should practice those critical thinking skills instead of just keeping them in theory. You could apply them to past situations, for example.

How is that different from being afraid of terminals?

It's not like you have to learn everything there is to it at once, you know.

Probably Windows 10 or something equally predatory.

Is it just me, or are the more active posters here actually Windows refugees who haven't used Linux for too long?

I'm autistic too.

My point isn't that autistic people have a single, utopian personality, but that we're generally less susceptible to certain social/psychological phenomena that tend to make societies shittier.

A world where all humans are autistic.

It wouldn't solve everything, but at least there wouldn't be room for chronic reification, useless charismatic narcissists, Cartesian dualism, etc to become big issues like they are in our world.
