I'm Attention Deficit in High Definition

In honor of my original meme hitting over 99k notes on tumblr dot com, I’ve made a sequel nearly 4 years later!

(original below)

I promise I'm not calling you out specifically here, @ospreyonthemoon, but you've raised some points here I can more easily answer in the post body

i dont have the brain power to do it.

Switching operating systems (OSs) is a little bit more technical than you (general you) might be used to, but it's not at all a scary thing! Especially starting from a Windows machine, there is very very little you can do that will permanently cause your device to implode without giving a warning first.

i m worried id lose things. and sll my games and programs.

This is a legitimate worry but many games and software run on Linux these days! Whilst I can't see into your machine from all the way on the other side of the screen, the vast majority of Steam games will run fine and programs like Wine allow most Windows-made applications to run on Linux. If there's something specific, you can always search "does [x] run on [Linux distro name y]". This is, I acknowledge, a bit of a process and there are some programs that don't run on Linux. There are always equivalents, if you're willing to learn something new, but it won't be exactly the same.

i don't want to break anything. [...] :(

Again I respect this worry, but I promise you that you are better with computers than you think. Breaking your computer by switching it off is, quite frankly, more of an indictment against your machine than you. When doing something like this I would always recommend backing up your important files to another location (OneDrive since you're already a Windows user, or a memory stick or external hard drive). The one best way to become less afraid of breaking technology is to have the confidence to click buttons and trust your machine won't implode in front of you.

There's a limit to the specific help I can offer from the other end of a screen, but if anyone does ever have questions about switching OS I will offer as much help as I can.

Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!
