In my experience the only times I’ve had a stable experience was

• when I actually only installed packages I needed i.e using a window manager instead of a DE (and no bloat packages which I’ll eventually lose track of)

• using an atomic distro, my favourite so far has to be bluefin which is part of the Ublue project based on Fedora Silverblue. NixOS is also great but it gives me the urge to pointlessly tinker instead of getting actual stuff done.

In the past I’ve seen flatpaks and containers as bloated and messy solutions which tainted my computer but now that I’ve tried it, It’s actually very convenient.

I’ve always installed a crap ton of packages for gaming which turns into this inevitable mess, but with containers I just use bazzzite-arch and be done with it. It wraps all my gaming packages in one neat container.

I finished Yakuza 7 last year after post game depression of Yakuza 6… Needless to say I was depressed but significantly happier than when I completed Y6.

Is that the one where the main character tries to develop a girl into an ideal heroine for his novel or something along those lines ?

I didn’t completely watch that show, so I’ll check it out some time. Thanks for reminding me tho.

So many good ones here. I’ve watched a few from the ones you mentioned. All of them I pretty much enjoyed a ton.

1. Re Life
2. Bunny girl senpai
3. Sakura-sou no pet na Kanojo
4. Boku no kokoro no yabai yatsu
5. Kimi no nawa

Re life, kmi no nawa and bunny girl senapi gave me depression for a short while back in the day. Boko no Kokoro no yabai yatsu was probably one of the better ones to come out in recent times.

I also think I watched the first 2 episodes of Kaicho wa Maid Sama a long time ago… I almost forgot it existed.

Hiscore girl, tsuki ga kirei and Spice & wolf are in my never ending watch list, thanks for reminding me again. As for gosik, it’s my first time hearing about it… Will check it out tho.

Also please go ahead and comment the experimental ones you mentioned, I think I’ll find something interesting

Also my apologies for not mentioning the ones I already watched in my post.

I’ve not heard about both of them before. I’ll check these out. Thanks

Oh nice. Sounds like it’s the kind of show I’m looking for. Thank you.

Oregairu was really well executed. I really liked it. I kinda feel bad for the second girl with the pink hair ( I think her name was Yuigahama? ).

Oh man I feel old now… Its been what? 4 or 5 years since it got it’s final season anime adaptation huh… I was watching it while it was still airing.

On a completely unrelated note, I think it was last year when I watched an anime called “The terrors in my heart” it was one of the memorable ones I’ve seen as of late. I just remembered it when you mentioned Oregairu for some reason.

From the ones you’ve mentioned, I’ve watched Golden time. It was pretty good.

Ore monogatati and Torodora were in my watchlist for a long time, I almost forgot about them until I read your comment.

Its a Makoto Shinkai movie right? I’ve seen it a few years ago, I liked it.

Hey thanks for all these suggestions. I’ll check out all of them. I’ll add those manga to my reading list.

Do you still play apex these days ?

What do you think about the state of the game

Do you mind sharing the name of the app please?

Although I always use NewPipe / Tubular and Revanced as a backup solution.

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.

Try logging into anilist in a browser that has been installed as a native package. Then temporarily set it as the default browser and open Miru then try ‘login with anilist’ .

This worked for me.

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.
