Entry 0056

Today I am trying out CachyOS, with the intention that if I like it, I'm going to continue using it as my daily driver.

See, if I were a normal person, I would not want to abandon Bazzite because of the sunk-cost fallacy. I just wrote a script and spent a lot of time on automating and configuring it for my needs. I've also got some roots in the wider Ublue community when I helped work on an Xfce atomic variant.

But, I'm not a normal person. For some reason that I haven't fully worked out yet, I'm immune to the sunk-cost fallacy in general. I think it has something to do with depression, avolition, and anhedonia, even though I'm still enjoying myself working on the stuff. It's like some residual element of those three mental health conditions still operates on some parts of my brain, while other parts are normalized by medication. And the parts that are responsible for the sunk-cost fallacy (and other fallacies) are, like, muted.
