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.

Stremio with Torrentino also works.

Haven’t tried Miru, thanks for suggesting. I’ll check it out.

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)

Haha I was also going to comment the same thing.

OP may be out on a trek while gentoo is compiling at home.

It’s been just over a month using Fedora silverblue (Ublue ) for me and the experience has been pretty good.

What I do is just setup a distrobox container with the arch image and install software using paru from AUR. So far this workflow has been working really well. for me.

Also if you decide to use any Ublue spin, you’ll also get homebrew pre-installed. So that can also be considered as an alternative option to AUR.

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

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 was surprised to see moondrop releasing an android device. If they can keep it affordable it will sell well.
