Debian. Since so many distros are based of it I always thought of it to be a stripped down, minimal and basic distro, but after daily driving for a year now in suprised how feature complete and pleasent it is out of the box with kde DE.

If only I knew that this is not normal 20 years ago I would have been a different place today. So many internal conflicting voices/thoughts and it’s fucking constant.

Product idea: “water cooled micro SD card reader”

You just described my situation almost exactly. Huge life changer for me to get medication. My mood is so much better and my confidence in myself at work is better than ever. I can finally trust myself and my skills and push complex projects like never before because the depressive anxiety and constant stream og garbage noisy adhd thoughts isn’t holding me back anymore. I track my mood on an app every single day from 0-6 and you can se on the graph exact what day i started the medication because it went from the average hovering around 3 to now hovering around 5 which is just such a good feeling. Best of luck to you and I’m happy to hear you found help as well.

Edit, the app i use to track my mood is called daylio and works pretty good. Giving me good insight on my own mental health.

It can manifest itself in the same way for men but it is usually then never discovered untill maybe much late in life when you have someone with depression and anxiety coming to the doctor’s who may also miss the fact that it could be ADHD

Well, I’m one. Fed up with windows BS.

As a Dane i can say that maybe its because Scandinavians are generally pretty tech savvy and good with digitalisation. Also Scandinavians has a low tolerance for bullshit.

… And also have the ability to skim internet content really really fast for all relevant information i need somehow without actually reading any of it.

Welp… Now I want more…

Or the flash of insight about efficiency but it spins off two new tasks where you spend 3 days on one of them and forgetting why you were doing it in the first place because it spun off 10 new tasks again so you are now so far removed from the original tasks you have no idea what is important to work on anymore and then the cycle repeats.

More like sitting down and doing neither and instead watching memes for 5 hours straight

Is it too late to grief my g-drive with tonnes of AI generated fanfiction and bullshit documents for Gemini to train on?

Every. God. Damn. Time… And then I realise that I understand nothing and I jump up about a third and read again and still understand nothing so I read from the beginning and then realise that the text is not interesting anymore so I skip reading any of it only to come back an hour later after frantically searching for other articles on the same topic only to realise that the answers were just right there all along if only i had read it properly the first time round.

Me all the time, but after getting medicated it’s a little less overwhelming and I can better calm down about it and slowly chew through the lists of stuff that needs to be done… Slowly… But any progress is better than no progress at all so I’ll take it as a massive win.

If you like Ubuntu I can only recommend Debian with KDE desktop (don’t install the default gnome DE).

I just switched recently and it’s a very clean feeling. No snap and no nonsens. Just stable and trustworthy.

In my naive mind the steam deck is a huge motivating factor for developers to go directly to native Linux games. In reality it’s probably given only little a consideration.

How long before the majority of game development is defaulting to Linux/Unix instead of windows? Getting native Linux games to run on windows is only becoming easier and easier with WSL? To me it seems like less of a hastle than trying to go the other way like we do today with proton and wine. Can someone enlighten me?

I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.

Combine with git and you now have a good way of keeping track of changes as well of you have to collaborate with others.

Maybe if human Call centers upped the quality to something useful maybe they would not be so replaceable
