From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How long would you stay in a job you hate?

me, personally?

why would it matter how long i would (or did) stay?

It's a rhetorical question. Would you consider 4 years to be a "short amount of time" to remain at a job you didn't like?

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 months ago

i would consider 4 years to be

too long amount of time for a job you don't like (it took you 4 years to realize that you don't like it?)
too short for a job you are committed to (you give up only after 4 years?)

After almost 4 years, I find myself lacking the energy and enthusiasm I once had

once i had? energy and enthusiasm he had only 3 years ago?! When i started reading the article i was expecting 15 years, 20, 30+
