I also enjoy spending money on my hobbies. I have a budget I keep for them.
For me, it's motorcycle parts. I have two older bikes I ride.
I love shopping for parts! It's definitely entertainment for me.

I switched from Windows to Ubuntu years ago after getting frustrated with Windows.
It took some getting used to, but I love it now!
I'm not a programmer or especially tech savvy, but I'm old enough to have used DOS when that was occasionally necessary in Windows.
I recommend Ubuntu to anyone looking for a Windows alternative.

I'm not a programmer. I don't game on my computer. I pretty much just use a web browser. Occasionally I'll install a new program.
I'm just tech savvy enough to figure out how to do stuff by googling. Most of the how to guides are over my head, but there's usually a very remedial one that I can understand.
Ubuntu has served my needs perfectly. It's stable, simple, and runs like a dream on my older laptop.
Lemmy is my first exposure to the Linux community. I was surprised at the hate Ubuntu gets.
