  • 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)


  • 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.

















  • Thanks for the details. Surprisingly I have a similar setup using Nova Launcher but I’m using gestures on the homescreen in general rather than individual app icons.

    I think your approach is more intuitive. I need to fiddle with my launcher settings or maybe consider using action launcher to incorporate that into my setup.

    My setup

    • Icons: Your Circle Icon pack. Each icon my homescreen is a folder disguised as an app.
    • Search dock has been configured to use ChatGPT’s voice feature as it sounds much more natural than Google Assistant or Bixby.

    I kind of wanted my homescreen to have that Material Gruvbox look but the icons are a tad bit brighter which breaks the design language.



  • 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)
