I used to think I was a 5/10, but then I tried to pirate a game on SteamDeck and I felt like I lost a lot of braincells. Spend like 6 hours trying to fix things and I accidentally bugged the internal speakers.

I think I’m at 3/10, linux (SteamOS) is so fucking hard to use.

I might be the most technologically illiterate Lemmy user ever.

    Hmm… Well… Let’s see about all the things I can do:

    • I can pirate on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh. I don’t consider it difficult.
    • I can install an operating on various mediums, and used to carry a Linux OS (forgot which distro) on a thumb drive with all my stuff on it to use on library computers (used to be poor and homeless. This is how I practiced Blender3D).
    • I have built my own PC, and built PCs for a lot of my friends and family.
    • I know how to bypass admin security on Windows XP.
    • I have and still do mod games, even ones without easy modding support. I do this on Linux.
    • I troubleshoot and fix my own problems, should I run into any. This included opening up hardware.
    • I’m currently in the process of learning coding for the creation of games in Godot.

    All of this and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of technology. So in consideration of the skill that exists with tech, the the 10-scale being used, I’d say my skill in tech is:

    2 out of 10.
