Do you still play apex these days ?

What do you think about the state of the game

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)

If you are using a lemmy app on your phone, switch to the list view so that the thumbnail becomes smaller and the title important parts appear easily interactable.

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?

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 have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn’t figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.

I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -

1. I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn’t afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.

2. I couldn’t play games using steam proton. I don’t know the situation these days, but I’ll surely check it out If it has improved since then.

You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.

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 ?

Can you suggest me some alternatives to SimpleLogin ? Would appreciate it if its free to use, as my usage is very basic.

God probably exists outside of our understanding . There may be things different from atoms, that we humans are not able to conceptualize. So god may very well be made out of something other than atoms.
