  • Upgrading distros after a couple years of stagnation is a huge pain point. Why can’t i skip versions in the middle?

    Also for some strange reason, my both my PC and laptop with ubuntu freezed multiple times during update. Even while copy a large number of files, it happened. The workaround was to use tty thingy and skip UI completely.

    Also, lack of proper errors could be another thing, while updating my distro, I kept getting strange errors that linux-firmware could not be updated. It took multiple bricks (including breaking filesystem and booting with usb to fix it) for me to realize the issue was, i was using a custom kernel mod for wifi devices that I installed 6 years ago cuz of a bug in kernel (which was fixed in versio 6.1+ i believe) and the error it was giving was reaaaally not helpful













  • That sounds like me at 23. Do you by any chance have OCD? Or maybe autism? I would try asking for a diagnosis from a psychiatrist.

    Just so you have hope. I am funtioning member of the society as in I can go out for groceries/doctor’s appointment etc. So don’t lose hope.

    As for how, the hard truth is you will need exposure. It kinda never goes away (atleast for me) but it gets managable. I would recommend asking a friend to accompany you first few times and then try going out alone and slowly and gradually it will get better.

    Another piece of advice that was kinda profound moment for me during my therapy. Try not to look for what went wrong in your past, I remember I was listing things to my psychiatrist about how my mom did this and my dad did that and she said: don’t dwel in past because you can never change it, instead think about what you can do today to make it better.
