Seeing tk’s Weibo… it’s quite interesting:

I lost my wife because of Linux Windows ❤
It all started so innocently. I just wanted to revive my old laptop. “Try Linux,” everyone online said, “it’s fast, secure, and fully customizable.” I thought, why not? My girlfriend even encouraged me: “You love tinkering, right?” she said with a smile. That was the last time she smiled at me.
I chose Arch Linux. Not Ubuntu, not Mint. I specifically chose Arch, as if I was born to self-torture and torment those who love me. Time passed hour by hour, and I hunched over the keyboard like Gollum, mumbling “pacstrap… my precious pacstrap…” She brought me a sandwich.
I hoarsely told her not to disturb me during my sacred partitioning ritual.
That night, she asked if I wanted to watch a movie together. I said: “Sure, I’ll join you after I get Xorg working.” That was three days ago. She watched three movies alone. Meanwhile, I was watching the boot logs scroll by rapidly, feeling a sense of near-enlightenment, or perhaps madness.
She tried to reconnect with me. “Let’s go for a walk,” she said, “and talk about our future.” I told her I couldn’t because my display manager wouldn’t start, and the system couldn’t find the sound card. She asked me if I couldn’t even find my own soul.
Then came the updates. I ran sudo pacman -Syu, and the Wi-Fi went down. I spent eight hours compiling kernel modules without internet, using a mobile hotspot that had to be propped up on a cactus on the windowsill.
When she came in, she looked at me surrounded by a bunch of terminals and quietly asked, “Is this… is this what you look like now?”
That night she left. She said she was going to “find someone who uses a graphical operating system.”
