I want to like melatonin (I get a nice gentle sleepiness from it) but the quality control is terrible. You might be getting far more than 1 mg sometimes, and then not enough other times.

My doctor recommended valerian root instead which seems more subtle to me but seems to help similarly. YMMV of course.
It was US $4 in the winter holiday sale so it's surprising so already see another $1 off.
GamingOnLinux. Liam is the guy who wrote the article linked here. He runs that website, and also hosts a YouTube channel of the same name. It's definitely worth following if the name strikes any interest at all.
Not yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Liam makes a short video about it soon. He usually does a nice job covering these sorts of tools.
Barely any, honestly. I only vaguely recall one or two instances in the past year where I couldn't find what I needed as a Flatpak or similar ready-to-go app. As a general user it's pretty great honestly and I'm impressed at how easy it's become.
Cool, I appreciate the heads up and I think I'm ready for that. Cheers!
Endeavour is committed (their philosophy) to no GUI, only CLI commands, so keep that in mind.
That's actually the first time I've seen that mentioned. It's not highlighted on their website, in fact I had to go digging for this old 2019 article to get some insight on the philosophy there.

I'm not afraid of CLI so this is fine. I'm not an expert by any means but using it more will push me to learn. The updater frontend in Manjaro is kind of inconsistent anyway (e.g. it only shows Flatpaks sometimes) so I've often found myself using pacman in the terminal already.
These days I'm most interested in Endeavour and Garuda, mostly as gateways into the Arch world without the headaches. Endeavour seems more mature so that'll be my next install.
I'm giving up on Manjaro since it seems to lag and have odd discrepancies with Arch/AUR.
Going further back I liked Mint and SuSE and even Ubuntu, but the lack of gaming focus has driven me to other distros.
I don't really love any that I've tried so far, but I dislike Audacious the least. FLAC, Musepack, and ReplayGain support are requirements for my library.
The last one I loved was foobar2000 on Windows, which supplanted Winamp. Linux UIs mostly feel a bit clunky by comparison. When the window has focus I like to have spacebar for pause/play, arrows up/down for primary gain, and arrows left/right for seek.
I'd like MetaPhysical if it's available.
I've been curious about the ghost hunting genre. Seems like something I could get at least one friend into.
Thanks for posting and happy holidays!
It's not FOSS, but Buzzkill can give you all kinds of control over notifications, including making them sticky/persistent or giving reminders. I'd love a FOSS equivalent but honestly the $4 price is way beyond fair. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.buzzkill
This was more of a community service, but when I worked for a university office I ran a TOR node on one of my PCs. After a while though, IT sent someone to ask me kindly not to make it an exit node. Other than that they didn't seem to mind. It was nice having excess bandwidth.
I also ran some distributed computing apps like folding@home.
Just gonna repeat myself...
Can we not call it "militancy"? Using that word here dilutes the meaning for actual violent regimes. There are plenty of other options like staunch, regimented, steadfast, etc.
I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as "should keep bookmarked".
Yep. Here are some of my favorite mostly-educational quality YouTube channels. In no order. Not that I'm trying to promote YouTube, the platform itself is getting worse and I hope these all co-publish elsewhere.
I've felt this way for a long time. The stress of competition and navigating other people made me feel grumpy if I was losing and maybe a bit arrogant when I won, and it brought everything down. So I said forget it. No more PvP, give me co-op or I'll just go solo.
But recently a friend pulled me into his Magic: The Gathering group, a game I always thought I wouldn't like. They've all been very patient and encouraging about teaching me and another newbie how to play, providing all the cards, and just generally being excellent. Having a friendly and good-natured group makes it all feel so different.
We're just having fun, there are no real stakes, and I like that. And even if I got more serious about planning my deck and competing, I feel like they would totally go along with that. Or it could stay as purely a reason to hang out and socialize, which is great and something I value a lot differently after the pandemic years.
Wow. Nice graphics, fun art, good voice acting (at least per the trailers) and positive reviews? And the devs made it free just because their next game is coming out in a few weeks (and I already heard good things about the demo)? Hell yeah.
I plan to switch soon from Manjaro to Endeavour, and hadn't yet decided whether I wanted to stick with Xfce. Well, with this endorsement plus reports of good overall performance I think I'll give Plasma a shot 🙂
GoT would've had a very different vibe with a bit of Herbie Hancock on the soundtrack.
