Survive. Sorry for being depressing but shit was ROUGH when I was young, and I never thought I’d get through it. But I did! I did the work i needed to do on myself and I got through it all

Totally valid and worth praise. I’m just coming out of a rough patch due to some events and loss of my support systems a while ago. And I had lots of barely survived stuff when I was younger. So happy to hear you’re surviving.

Losing some 40kg of fat, then building 15kg of muscle!

Though, to be fair, I went into it with the idea that every kilo down was a victory. Didn’t expect to ever hit a healthy weight, but persistence pays!

I got my updated drivers licence with my name and gender! Not a big thing I’m the grand scheme of things, but it matters a lot to me.

I installed Linux on my computer! Never thought I could do that myself. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the one game I play to run, so I reinstalled Windows. But I’m going to try again because I really want off of Microsoft products, I just need to do a bit of research.

Hi! I also got Linux running recently. Not sure what distro you used, but a friend recommended Nobara to me since it comes native with all the things necessary to run Windows games, like Wine. So far I haven’t had any issues, but none of the games I play use kernel level anti cheat.

I tried Ubuntu and the only game I play is World of Warcraft. I tried installing it through Wine and Lutris, but it kept freezing. I’ll check out Nobara, I was also going to look at Bazzite, but I have some reservations with my video card on that one. Thanks for the tip.
