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.

    8/10.

    Software engineer. Respected across a small public tech company. Most folks who do 30 seconds of GitHub snooping are impressed. There’s a decent chance you’ve used code I wrote. Hopefully it keeps working.

    No idea how to use Windows. Or mac. Lots of missing network and security stuff. Struggle every time I have to do python package management. Terrified of C++.
