I don't distrohop or tinker with my Linux install anymore. I just install Linux Mint XFCE edition and don't even bother changing the background.
Tech also just isn't advancing and changing as much as it was when we were younger so it's not as exciting anymore
I don't get that at all. To me it feels like there's so much progress happening right now.
I don't think this is true.
It's not exciting to me any more because I hate the way it's changing the world.
In the 2010s it felt like tech would save us.
I think it is stagnating. people having more access to technology based gadgets but the only thing that changed is earth abuse to support production of gadgets. So not only is it not saving us, it is literally killing us.
And when it does change it's to enshittify it. It's been a decade since I was excited about any new technology. I used to love it too.
