Me and my 2 other friends were planning to play fifa on my computer last night. I have 3 gamepads. One is xbox one controller. I use cachy os and I couldn’t connect my xbox gamepad. I connected it actually but the laptop was not able to understand that was a gamepad. It didn’t worked. I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux. And the worst part, if it was windows we would have no problem. Anyway, do you have any suggestions cause i thought cachy might not be the best option for gaming. I dont want dual boot my laptop, i hate windows
Hey dude bro,
“I tried for 1 hour and my friends just laught ar me because of i use linux.”
So like, not just that, man…
Sorry, “dude bro”? Let me be clearer, then:
What I was trying to say was that toxic ecosystems aren’t important here, and “get new friends” isn’t helpful advice, even as a joke.
All they needed was “here is how you get that controller working” and the issue they were actually concerned about is solved.
Encouraging the (what reads like a younger) person to value themselves enough to not tolerate their friends making fun of them for doing the objectively right thing here is not a “toxic environment”.
Now, you blindly defending your own position “on behalf of others” due to some internalized battle you have with your perception of others attacking you IS toxic. You’re a martyr for nothing but yourself in these scenarios, though you assuredly walk away feeling like a white knight (and again, to only your benefit).
So yes, “get new friends” following an illustrative anecdote that may take OP out of their own POV and see the same scenario objectively can be very important to some in this position - especially those who may be conditioned to think they aren’t deserving of friends that DON’T make fun of them, dude.
Not “environment” but “ecosystem.” I was referring to Windows, not friend groups. I guess I wasn’t clear enough.
I hate to bring out the “it’s not that deep”, but it definitely feels like you’re reading a little too far into what I was trying to say. You’ve well and truly lost me here with the “white knight” part, I wasn’t trying to be combative and I’m not sure what “internalized battle” you imagine I have. Sure, I didn’t project OP’s friends as particularly hostile as much as light ribbing, so I easily could have misjudged the situation. Still, this feels like a bit much.
I’m not sure what it is about the internet turns people into such armchair psychologists, but I’m just going to leave things here, wish you well, and move on with my day.
I’m not sure what it is about the internet that turns people into such back peddling revisionists once they ate called out? But you won’t be responding again, so I guess this is the end.
