I think I have become genuinely addicted to updating my system. I update every day, an update usually takes several hours because I'm on Gentoo. I like sitting there watching the compilation output rapidly scroll by on my terminal. I genuinely feel sad when my daily update finishes in 5 minutes and there's nothing left for me to update.4

Is this a mental illness?

isn't that like really bad for SSDs and just trashes your filesystem with garbage?

I mean, you're supposed to add `pipe` to your CFLAGS so that most compilation is done in RAM. Though big things like kernel updates usually write up to 20 GB to my SSD. But I don't really care, I've had this laptop for 4 years and my SSD is only at 6% used, I guarantee some other component will break before the SSD does.

Yes

You clearly don't have enough to do in a day.

Rather than waste precious RAM Sam Altman could use in a data center, you can compile on a tmpfs or, even better, compressed zram device

I just switched to Cachy from windows and seeing updates and the terminal scroll is incredibly satisfying. I hated updates on windows but on cachy it's quite nice.

No, it's called having fun.

You look like the Gentoo logo? C-can I have y-your n-number?

No normal person has fun, it's incredibly cringe and gives women the ick.
