I was confused as well at first, but then I realised I need to think real literally: The one on the left is lit up and colourful, because he knows how to turn on a light; the one on the right looks as if he is in the dark (due to not knowing how to turn on the light)
Though you saying you're "in the dark on this one" does make me wonder whether you did get the joke, and in fact I am missing a joke that you are making.
I dual boot Fedora and Arch. Fedora was just a fluke because it seemed like one of the most mainstream distros, and I was a Linux noob.
I liked Arch though because the Arch wiki is so useful for a beginner to learn from, even if you're not on Arch. At first, Arch seemed too complex and difficult for me, as a beginner, but when I kept finding myself at the Arch wiki when troubleshooting, I realised how powerful good documentation is. I installed Arch with a "fixer-upper" type mindset, with the goal of using the greater power and customisability that Arch offers to build a config/setup that worked for me (learning all the while). It was a good challenge for someone who is mad, but not quite so mad as to dive into Gentoo or Linux From Scratch
A friend earlier commented that "maybe they didn't intentionally hand over the credentials and instead the devices belonging to the DOGE doofuses were already thoroughly pwned by Russia" — basically what if it was due to incompetence?
I consider this a possibility, but also, it's not exactly any better — it's just a different kind of awful. Either way, it's unjustifiable
I loved the types — the creativity in them really helped this to feel like the love letter to Pokémon that it is, rather than just a clone. It felt so new and fresh, almost like playing Pokemon for the first time.
Most people I've heard from said that it wasn't nearly as bad as they were expecting, but that this made the overall experience worse, because it wasn't bad enough to be entertainingly bad. A friend described it as being so mediocre and bland that their head was constantly filled with the question "why was this even made?". All of the live action adaptations have felt pretty pointless, but this one seems to be steeped in "inexplicable disdain towards the original work", whilst having nothing new and interesting to say to warrant said disdain.
All this to say that it's probably not worth your time
I had a similar experience. The video that helped me had pretty poor video quality compared to some of the other results, so I only turned to it when I was burnt out from basically every other video being useless for my task. Props to all the Indian educational YouTubers
I find it amusing that this is like the epitome of cool. This means that if a person's goal was to become cool, their surest path there would be to forsake their quest of coolness and learn how to be unabashedly themselves
A friend calls this "para-productive" work, when it's in moderation; it's not directly helpful towards her task, but it's useful for gearing up and building momentum. If it gets too far into the procrastination side of things, she calls it "psuedo-productive".
(I asked her whether making up these silly phrases is psuedo-productive, or para-productive. She replied that it was "meta-productive". 🙄)
My friend has had quite severe ill health, including some unfortunate, impromptu hospital trips. I bought them a Steam Deck as a gift, shortly before their health worsened, and it has literally been a lifesaver for them. It has been tremendously powerful for them to have a way to stay connected with their gaming friends, even when they can't make it to their desk.
I don't own a Deck myself, but this alone would make me a big fan (though I also appreciate that the Steam Deck has made streamline gaming on my Linux desktop)
