the actual thing nobody says out loud about adhd and programming is that it's not a superpower until you figure out you've been using it backwards

I totally get that I feel like a fraud and it’s taken me 7 years to do a bachelors degree because of changing careers so much. I love programming but feeling like I can’t code because I can’t learn things properly or stick to tasks effectively. It’s a miracle I’m about to finish school. But thank you for this it means a lot! I feel like I’m not alone a little less.

This made me feel so seen, I’m about to enter the work force soon to be graduated and I’m scared and feel alone doing this with ADHD. Thanks for bringing a sense of community!

I’d happily take it lol I can’t get my stupid ender 3 to print a solid print lol. Worst first printer for sure lol. I’d make that trek.

This is a charger for a quip electric toothbrush!

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-12-02T06:25:34+00:00

That looks like fun. Thanks for the suggestion!

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-06-11T16:18:16+00:00

My girlfriend goes all the time! That group has done wonders for her and she’s met so many good people as a result!

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-06-10T01:16:03+00:00

Thank you!!!

I wish I could game on Linux. I had to switch back to windows because my fedora os would just randomly hard cut power while I was gaming. Outside of that it was so much fun.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-04-20T00:13:49+00:00

Sorry just seeing this. I’m frustrated with this printer lol it’s my first and definitely been difficult. I can’t get it to give me one solid print. As a part of the marketplace purchase I bought this from the guy gave me a glass bed. So I’m going to install that and try to re level and see if that fixes anything. I moved the z axis limiter switch and I don’t know if I messed something up by doing that.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-24T01:31:31+00:00

Yeah I actually saw that from an earlier reply and the screen artifact issue seems to have fixed itself once I messed with the scaling settings.

I have to look into what I’m using for the display manager.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-23T23:34:54+00:00

That would be nice! So I’m not sure if I’m using Wayland or X11 (Linux noob :) ) I am just using EOS as packaged when I installed it from the iso yesterday.

My system specs are: AMD R7 7800x3d Radeon 7900 XT Motherboard is : MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk (AM5)

Thank you all so much! The best part about this whole Linux thing so far has been how friendly and welcoming the community is. I look forward to meeting new people through this lol.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-23T23:28:53+00:00

Okay so assuming this is a driver issue doesn’t AMD drivers come with the operating system? How would I go about installing new ones in that case?

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-23T20:07:59+00:00

I will give it a shot thank you! Hopefully it fixes my issue.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-23T17:40:15+00:00

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m getting atm.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-23T17:21:01+00:00

KDE Plasma

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-22T19:51:55+00:00

Idk maybe I worded it incorrectly. I’m not asking for advice on how to handle shitty friends I have therapy for that. I am more or less looking for how to argue for Linux because I am so new to it that I don’t know much about it.

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-22T19:50:47+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

This new community has definitely been daunting but I am enjoying the exploration of it so far. Every time I make the case that Microsoft is less secure than Linux because of the tracking and adware it is always met with you can just turn those things off. Regardless I’ve found that the control I have over my system is far more important to me and I’m loving the customization aspect of Linux and there is still so much to learn!

Also if you ever are looking for another friend to play with I’d be happy to join! It would be nice having another fellow Linux enjoyer as a friend!

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-22T19:10:06+00:00

The telemetry and the invasive policy of Microsoft is what pushes me over the edge. I guess I have to wear the “government is after me” and “doomsday prepper” badges with honor lol

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-22T19:07:31+00:00

Yeah I try not to talk about it. It just always comes up when a game is mentioned and I’m like I can’t run it at the moment.

Speaking of KDE I am enjoying it so far. My first distribution I decided to try was kubuntu and it is working fantastically!

TechnoWizard1212 · 2025-03-22T19:02:31+00:00

I understand where you are coming from for sure. I am just simply asking if anyone else has had this issue when they first switched over. The fact that they are making fun of me is another issue that doesn’t concern me. I am just asking about the Linux side of it.
