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
It's ok amigo, from this one comment I've read of yours you seem like you are just fine
I use Linux, and my wife’s head in the freezer says I’m perfectly sane.
Well there's a million ways you can interpret that data. Apple usually makes very opinionated stuff ("this is how it works and this is how you're going to use it"). Autistic folks tend to do have big issues with that sort of stuff, so it's only natural they'll gravitate to something else where they can use it whoever they feel is better.
And women in general have been pushed away from IT for a few decades due to how they're treated in those groups, so it's only natural they'll be underrepresented among Linux users.
