Step 2. Learn Docker & cool stuff and wonder why I used an abomination called WSL. This is the real deal.
Step 3. Get into VIM. Watch some cool videos, and ditch the last spyware called VSCode.

Step 5: Minding my business and YouTube recommends FreeBSD. Oh noo. Here we go again…😅

By age 35,
you should have stop Linux distro hopping and choose one distro and stick with it. It is like you go to a supermarket and see so many brands. But I purchase the same two brands for my shaving needs for the last decade. Look it up. It is called being adult ;)
So imagine my shock when I found out my favorite underwear brand ceases to exist. So now I have to do all research again and pick up a new brand. This is stressful. lol. Begin adult is stupid.
Am I a creature of habit? Yes, why? How can you tell?
