Good point, wee need clarification, OP. I personally just don't like gooner games, for example, but I don't have a problem with nudity or sexuality (and I try not to exclude it when browsing which makes things hard, pun not intended).

Fuck, I just deleted it, should've disable it like I did with android safety core, now I'm sure at some ppint it will get reinstalled and I won't notice it or remember to check

I'll give you a simple thing you can do that will make a huge difference. First and last half hour of your day, spend them with no screens. Sounds minimal but it will help you lower your dopamine baseline, after that it'll be easier to embrace tranquility with each passing day.

After that, if you can, add some friction between the thing you're doing (maybe you can add a pincode requirement or something?) and yourself and if possible, set a defined time of day for the activity.

Lastly, just some willpower every now and then to stop or even not start.

The way I understand it, you will be able to keep enjoying it without it consuming your life, IMO this is the kind of thing we should all know to do in this day and age.

I've been told a thousand times that linux and linux gaming were finally easy before getting in, not in a thousand years would I have thought installing steam would kill my whole linux installation.

Just my two cents. Also I've learned that linux people tend to lie through their teeth so I never take them too seriously, the same people that get angry when you criticize linux for difficulty or weirdness will crucify you for installing steam in the exact moment a once in a lifetime bug you couldn't predict (as a newcomer) kills your os.

I got blasphemous 2 and am quite enjoying myself, the map feels a lot more linear since I often can only go one way until I unlock the correct skill for the next area, but other than that it's pretty fun. I also miss the style of the cutscenes in the firt one. I'd say overall the game so far is less good but importantly it's fun (and it's not full of annoying bugs like the first one). I'm enjoying focusing on the combat.

I also somehow convinced my friend to play terraria with me and we're enjoying it a lot, haven't played in like a decade, there's so much new, we went straight to the hardest difficulty and it's kicking our asses, really fun.

There are lot of people who really believe that, not just an answer help with choice paralysis.

IMO, that's the lesser of two evils. Start first, get annoyed with nuance and tedious internet arguing later, if you're content enough before reaching the latter, that's a win in my book.

Making your lunch for work seems like too much extra work, I just cook extra for dinner and use that for lunch next day.

I'm sorry you had those issues, I know the pain, browsers have been a compromise for me on nvidia hardware and it seemed like I was the only one with a problem when searching for a solution.

If you ever decide to try again, cachyos is the only OS ive tried where browsers don't lag or drop frames (mostly, still something ocassional but mostly unnoticeable) so you might want to try that in your next attempt? Whenever that happens.

I'm sad to see so many comments lashing at you for expressing your opinion, but I'm glad to see at least a couple more reasonable ones. Hopefully next time you try there are more people ready to welcome you with open arms.

What drove me to linux more than anything was my profound hate for windows (which preceded me ever trying linux by a handful of years), I just couldn't fathom how so much money and r&d could culminate in such garbage (my opinion), there's no good reason for most problems to exist, at least when something happens in linux I know it's mostly a coordination problem between a dozen of unpaid developers that do it for the love of the game and have no relation or communication with eachother.

I'm glad to see people open to trying alternatives to it, mostly because I don't think anyone deserves suffering through windows.
