Yep it’s more or less the same situation.

I have been experimenting a ton with picks in the last few months. I bought three Bluechips, an assorted pack of TUSQ picks, and Taylor’s “Darktone series” pick tin.

My favorites are, in order:

0. Dunlop Tortex. Old reliable. Just feels like home.

1. TUSQ picks. They are the most resonant picks I have ever used; they make month old strings sound like a fresh set. They also come in three different sound profiles, bass-heavy, treble heavy, and “warm” i.e. mids heavy. The differences are noticeable, and it feels like having an analog way to EQ my guitar. For the money they are the best

2. Taylor Thermex Pro from the Darktone series pick tin. It is the pick that gets closest to the sound of a fingernail

3. Bluechip - fancy but kinda underwhelming. They are definitely great picks but I’m not feeling the hype after using them for three months

I live in Asia, specifically Pakistan, and ADHD meds are not easy to come by here. I live in the biggest city and only know two stores which sell locally manufactured methylphenidate (aka Ritalin).

tldraw.com is great

I have no experience with K, but as someone who has tried psychedelics for self-improvement/mental health reasons, I can say it does help in that it gives you a kick in the rear and clarity of mind to work on your issues. The benefits (i.e. increased motivation & executive function) are short-lived though.

For long-term change I would recommend working with a therapist. In my experience us folks with ADHD really need the structured regimen it provides.

The best starting point in my experience is https://regolith-desktop.com. You install it and get a noob-friendly, pre-configured unixporn desktop out of the box.

Once you start using it, the rest of the obscure programs referenced on /r/unixporn start making sense too.

It’s improved by leaps and bounds in the last few years! Definitely worth a second look imo

I’m using Mullvad on Silverblue right now, through NetworkManager. Just had to import the wireguard config file they provide. No extra app/package needed!

I find the GNOME workflow very intuitive and have grown really accustomed to it over the years. It’s minimal and gets out of the way, while at the same time everything I need is accessible on one keypress through the activities overview.

I don’t feel at home on any other desktop environment. Even on Ubuntu I revert everything to stock GNOME.

I’ve been having these kind of issues with the Pixels since the Pixel 1. At this point, I just don’t recommend a Pixel device to anyone.

mint for the win

There’s a script for installing Photoshop with wine on Linux: https://github.com/Gictorbit/photoshopCClinux

it worked for me

hell fucking yeah

My experience with Flatpaks has been so stable and hassle-free that it motivated me to switch to Fedora Silverblue.
