I don’t hate teams but I hate that call ringtone. I get triggered everytime I hear it 😂

Haha, to each their own I guess.

My desktop environment of choice would be XFCE. It’s simply easy to configure while not giving me choice fatigue like KDE does. Also I don’t like Qt for some reason.

GNOME is great but I find their extensions to be super clunky sometimes. Some of them even break in between updates. The main selling point of gnome (for me) is the minimal look and feel, extensions kind of ruin that a little bit.

Don’t get me wrong plasma and Gnome are wonderful DEs but XFCE provides a simple and balanced desktop IMO. The only thing that’s missing is full Wayland support.

P.S : Anyways most of the time I would be running a window manager instead of a DE, my current favourite Wayland window-manager is Labwc because it gives me openbox vibes.

Some sort of journaling really helps when you feel like you have no direction. You can turn back the pages and see what path you took and even identify some ideas or values you want to implement in your life moving forwards. I recommend a notebook instead of a digital notes app.

This is a habit that I formed fairly recently 3-4 years ago I think. Initially I was writing down on smaller notepads which tend to get filled up quickly. Now I use a dotted notebook, so that I can draw something if I need to (although unruled notebooks also work)

Don’t obsess over decorating it like the bullet journal folks do on YouTube/Instagram and if you are thinking of using apps like obsidian or logseq - don’t go too far down the rabbit hole , just write down something instead.

You can have something like tasks.org for todos (organize your day) and a physical notebook to develop a vision (get some direction in your life)

Have you tried Floorp yet ? It’s pretty good, you may find some things really neat coming from Vivaldi.

I tried both flatpak Steam and the non-flatpak one which comes with Bazzite. I gave it access through flatsel like usual, but when I tried to add the drive from within steam it just sat there doing nothing.

I have not encountered this issue on other distros.

Actually I don’t have an igpu, I have an rx6600 and an i5 10400f.

I’m currently using Aurora-dx, is the switcheroo patch available there too ?

Rather than rebasing, would there be a way to to layer the Bazzite Optimizations (Kernel & scheduler Optimizations for gaming, not Lutris etc) on top of aurora-dx?

I find Boost for lemmy to work really well for me. I also use Voyager as a backup.

Recently I have started using this app called Nightwave Plaza. It has a surprisingly good selection of chill music that I can play in the background.

Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ

I usually use audiobookbay.

I want to thank you so much for suggesting this. I’m almost caught up with all the episodes of the podcast and I’m hooked. I just wish I had the time to follow up each episode with supplementary reading.

P.S: sorry for necroposting !

I was super interested in getting a job in cybersec, especially red team. But unfortunately no one wanted a fresher like me when I graduated.

Then things led to one another and I found myself working as a web developer. I’d still jump to a good cybersec job if I ever land one.

I’m in India. Everyone I talk to just recommend either working as a developer or working abroad.

They do have a reason for saying this though. The average electrician , plumber and carpenter that they know are all make enough to survive but not enough to lead a lavish lifestyle. People who work in waste management and transport usually make even less than electricians and plumbers.

Maybe things are changing these days, I’ll have to talk to the right people to get a better idea…

If you don’t mind, what set of skills got you employed ?

Hehe, any kind of ricing can be taken too far.

Funnily enough I recently switched from WM’s to DE (and KDE plasma at that) so that I don’t spend entire days adjusting making pointless window border customization and autostart scripts that are already taken care of by a Desktop environment.

That said, I cant live without my keybinds so I’ve replicated the same on my Plasma setup.

As someone from India, I agree with you.

I guess people just want to use what everyone else uses. Using something different than windows is instantly assumed to be very difficult.

I even showed my friends how they can play games on linux instead of having their laptops get stuck while using windows 11 , but they still won’t even consider trying it.

Btw if you don’t mind - do you play apex legends ? (Judging by your username)

Also watermelon sugar.

I wish there was an active philosophy community on lemmy. I kinda miss r/Askphilosophy and r/askhistorians.

And to answer your question -

I don’t really know. I guess people belive in souls so as to eternalize themselves and thereby reducing their fear of death, knowing that their soul will be out somewhere instead of the idea that they will return to a state of nothing.
