Maybe your trouble is the bread. Wholemeal are carbs and carbs are sugar. The sugarless peanut butter should not be causing any sugar crashes.

Caveat. Not a trained specialist here. Just someone who has been trying to sort my issues out and wanting to share.

Coming from MacOS into Linux and landing on Debian/Gnome encouraged me into the world of keyboard-driven navigation.

I got into customising keybindings and moved to a split programmable mech keyboard not too long after. Three years ago I made the switch to Sway and now on Niri (all transitions switched off) on my laptop. My desktop workstation still is on Gnome and I switch between the two machines (with full keyboard-driven navigation) seamlessly.

Yes, some extensions do break on updates but I use extensions very minimally and they get patched relatively quickly. For the experience Gnome provides, I dont mind the couple of days that “blur my shell” is broken. The DE remains stable and the keyboard-driven workflow is fast.

Now that I daily drive a WM (on my laptop) I am thankful I started on Gnome upon landing in Linux. It still remains the best keyboard-driven DE out of the box for Linux first-timers. Perhaps Cosmic will be the other DE in a few years.

I hope Gnome sticks to its phislosphy as it truly provides something unique, stable and a great entry point into the world of keyboard-driven workflows out of the box.

Lots of people like Vivaldi for the many reasons stated in the comments. I personally feel its bloated, cluttered UI and it runs heavier on my system (compared to Helium and Ungoogled Chromium, which are both excellent browsers).

However, I daily drive Mullvad and Librewolf, with Zen for web presentations. I much rather these hardened Firefox browsers than Chromium based ones.

Mouse pointer is bloat… /s

Curious: What made you do it for a decade if it wasn’t working so well for you.

Not being snarky here. Just would like to understand what kept you on.

Self-host SearXNG on your laptop/PC. Your only regret is that you’d wish you’d done this sooner. Both SearXNG and Docker have helpful setup pages that walk you through the process. https://docs.searxng.org/

Iran war? And not the unlawful US-Israel aggression on Iran that’s causing this? How the issue is spelt out matters.

Oh Jeez. Last thing I want to do is to tell anybody to delete their work. Thats not my intent. I came to the photo to be reminded of the place, so I am eternally grateful for the post and photo. Perhaps, repost with the licence plate obscured?

in the attempt to directly answer your question, all I can possibly say is that someone who is privacy conscious would not appreciate their car being identified. I would feel the same.

Again, I apologise if I’m bursting your bubble here. Its not at all my intent.

License plates and other identifiable should be permanently obscured before uploading to preserve anonymity.

Use a retired phone with no apps other than your music and the players (New Pipe, Archive Tune, etc) you want. Give your old phones a 2nd life without having to purchase another thing. Connect via WiFi and have a ball.

I find not being on social media, limiting my exposure to the news and staying outdoors (planting, working with nature and people, immersing myself with live art like live music or a play) makes the difference.

Things start looking bleak when most of my activity and time is the screen.

There is also something to be said about overwhelming the visual stimulus and and the subsequent degredation of mental health.

That would be the first thing I would do.

However, the killer ingredient is to learn how to sit alone -no book, no activity. To just sit and learn how to be. You will see the benefits over prolonged disciplined practice.

I find it much easier to do the 2nd thing once the 1st thing is in order.
