How long have you been using it?

Long enough to give him a headache, but he has triumphed in installing libre office on it.

I commented that it is kind of like a dark souls video game for him. The objective is not to get a usable computer system, but to surmount impossible odds and eventually achieve victory over an intractable foe.

Its like living in briar patch. Somehow it feels safer than the beaten path.

Some people call it a hipster linux. I don't know about all that. I can't remember when I first installed it. It was 3 to 8 years ago.

Hipster Linux?

Hipster version of something is when you use it specifically because nobody else is using it and you want to be unique.

"Hey check out that beat! I think I want to add this song to my playlist."

"You should check Shazam and see if it recognizes the song."

...

"Did it know the song?"

"Yeah..."

"Aw man! What a shame."

The way you say you are using it is more like conspiracy Linux. If even I have a hard time getting anything to run, no way the feds will be able to use this computer to spy on me.
