    Unironically, yes. Multiple studies dating back years have found a link between high intelligence and various mental health issues.
    There was one particular paper I read about a decade ago, where researchers surveyed a bunch of collage students to find demographic trends based on their preferred operating system. From what I recall, the demographics of Windows users were not too far off from those of the university as whole, and Mac users were similar, aside from women being significantly over-represented. Linux users on the other hand, were almost all men, and nearly every mental health issue imaginable was over-represented by a huge margin.

      That’s funny, but I’m betting my nutsack that you just made that up, or it’s copy pasta.

      As a CS dude who uses Linux and is around way too many people who seem like they genuinely are in need of some therapy on a daily basis, this entirely checks out, tbh.

      I’m now mildly worried for my own mental state
