I'm autistic and gay but I also have a secret third thing that stopped me from figuring out linux. The "AD" in ADHD (there needs to be a better way to distinguish between having attention deficit, hyperactivity, or hybrid). I have tried like four times now to figure out linux and my brain just doesn't get the dopamine it needs from that activity and I just can't focus 🫠

There is a shoet way to say it: Inattentive type (type I), Hyperactive type (type H), and Combination type (type C)

I routinely describe myself as ADHD type C

It looks like Linux got much friendlier as of lately, and requires much less figuring out, but ymmv and you can of course run into issues, unfortunately.

Nowadays we usually have the benefit of being connected to the internet from something other than the computer we're fiddling with, it was quite hard to troubleshoot modem issues when you need that modem to work for the internet connection.
