Yes, I generally enjoy fixing interesting GNU/Linux problems, but fixing lay people problems is often boring. But even lay people problems can be interesting when I can pick which problem to solve.

I used to like that. But then I graduated college and got a job and I don’t have the energy to deal with that crap. I just want my computer to work. The only time I fuck around with things is when something isn’t working the way I think it should work and the frustration reaches critical mass. Dicking around with a non-critical system can be fun, since if I break something on it my main PC is still fine. But I’d pretty much always prefer spending my free time on other hobby projects like programming or resin casting.
