I really feel like checking out today.

@electricangel hugs I know this doesn't help much, but I thought I'd try to lend some emotional support if I can.

@Mainebot using flight icons too? nice!

@electricangel you are valid and appreciated here

Read: I need to not be lazy and draw one my damn self.

People's awesome drawn avis make me want to replace mine with a cute drawing of myself.

@loki i like your avi

@Siphonay source: 2 years of collecting parts and I still need a processor and ram. I hate money.

@Siphonay based on my recent attempts at building, it seems buying a new one is the easiest/cheapest way to get a good graphics card

@gingerrroot I thought you were from the Philadelphia area, don't we call them hoagietoots?

@Angle I know this from ~8 years of working at the Apple Store. Most users won't even read a simple prompt on the setup screen, let alone deal with a command line tool.

@Angle Which is know macOS is technically a BSD, but I'm sure you get my drift.

@staticsafe same.

@Angle Yeah and I get doing that, but I think most end users still would seize up just seeing a terminal. There really needs to be a macOS of *nix.

@staticsafe "Aw let's break it-" ded.

@Angle Yeah, even user friendly distros (excluding phones for ease of discussion) like Ubuntu, require a lot of command line experience. And I don't see any distros really attempting to change that. Maybe Mint a little bit.

@Angle aw that's a bummer, I honestly don't know if I can even get on in America

@Angle What I want to see though is open source without the learning curve. Non-techie types don't care about proprietary v. open source because open source takes a ton of work to learn/maintain, when generally proprietary devices tend to "just work" and when they don't, have a clear path to resolution.
