System monitoring Memes

When you're single, your Linux machine is basically a NASA control center. Every terminal is maxed out with system monitors, process viewers, CPU graphs that look like abstract art, and enough tabs to make Chrome jealous. You're basically cosplaying as a hacker from a 90s movie. But the moment you enter a relationship? Your desktop becomes a zen garden with a single wallpaper of... well, probably something your partner sent you. No terminals, no htop flexing, just pure minimalist vibes. Because suddenly you have better things to do than watching your CPU usage fluctuate between 1% and 4%. The uptime drops from "3 days" to "I actually shut down my computer now." Revolutionary concept, really. Turns out human connection > obsessively monitoring RAM usage. Who knew?

Nothing screams "elite hacker" quite like running htop in a terminal. To your grandma, you're basically Neo from The Matrix. To your non-tech friends, you've just activated the nuclear launch codes. The reality? You're just checking if Chrome is eating all your RAM again (spoiler: it is). But try explaining that you're not breaking into the Pentagon while you're literally just looking at process IDs and CPU usage. They've already decided you're in.
