Since then, I have upgraded to a "gaming laptop" that runs Windows 10, because I don't give a shit anymore I tell people the old laptop "died" on me but it still works fine, I just became intensely frustrated with it

I gave up on it partly because I was lying earlier, when I said I wanted to "learn more about computers" what I meant was that I hoped someone seeing me running Linuxwould cause them to see me as attractive and intelligent and ask to sleep with me, and this has never occurred

"But Arthur, a gaming laptop for doing stuff like recording voiceover is actually a really bad idea, because the extra fans on the motherboard make the laptop extremely loud" Yeah okay that's a lesson learned for the future
