  • 3 years (or is it 4? What is time?) on arch exclusively and I do quite a lot of gaming. It’s been great. There were a few occasions over the years where something didn’t work, while others on ProtonDB had seemingly flawless experiences, but it was always just a few minor tweaks. Much better experience than what I had on Manjaro prior to switching. Also, this is all on Wayland (sway) and even with that, it’s been great. BTW.



  • Love my current routine and it’s doing wonders for my health, both phisically and mentally (or at least I believe it is, it might be a placebo):

    1. waking up every day at the same time
    2. bathroom (toilet, teeth, washing face)
    3. glass of water with a multivitamin and omega-3 (I’m vegan and this is so much easier than finding food that has all that)
    4. playing with the cat (I have no coice in this, she says it must be so, it is, therefore, so)
    5. ~15min of yoga
    6. ~10min of meditation

    And then it’s coffee and work time. I’ve been on this routine for about 2 years now and I feel amazing since starting with it.












  • I have two tools that I use to fall asleep, and they have been working pretty flawlessly for me over the years. The primary one is reading a book in bed, when I’m off to sleep. Usually it’s not a lot of reading, I get pretty sleepy after 10-15 pages. The other is supplementary to the reading and that’s imagining some fiction scenario in my head. For me, it’s some simple SciFi or fantasy scene or whatever and I try to visualize the characters, scenery, etc. It’s usually just enough to occupy my brain enough so that it doesn’t do its thing of running around wherever it wants to, and just not quite enough to give it fuel for active engagement. No idea if either might work for you, but maybe give it a go if you haven’t already.
