Yes, that is exactly who I am...The only way out of that hell is by going inward. Get your self-worth from yourself. Entertain yourself. Amuse yourself. Challenge yourself. Be your own source of wisdom and inspiration. Etc.linux users don't generally appear to be 'cheerful' people.
I was a 12-13 years old kid learning Classical Guitar with my Dad's friend - one-on-one, but I only made maybe 30 hours worth.
Then as teenagers do, they lose the plot... I could have been at a Music Academy and I did not want to go = silly me!
I knew I had a good mental disposition for patterns (as my guitar teacher told me, he even envied tne fact I had slim and not sweaty fingers, and I am not a tall person).
Many decades after the above, I self-learned electric guitar and plectrum work, until I manage to not care any more about the plectrum side - hand just moves by itself and soloing.
Now left hand too is well exercised. I can jump anywhere and get the correct notes 90% of the time.
All this done in 12-14 months of almost every day work (time permitting) - sometimes even as much as 4 hours continuously - that is too much, but there were the usual 'Eureka' moments of learning where you get that, haaaa - I can do that now and suddenly opened new doors for improvement.
So, yeah I certainly agree with you, I do this with anything I desire to learn - it is beautiful when you get some very good results, after a lot of hard work.
PS sorry for not being here much, and that is why I did not start a separate Linux channel, just to give the right pointers and mainly to collect info around the net into ONE thread, to help anybody - me included.
I got some results in Linux, but not much... yet. Bitwig.deb seems fine.
