You should check out BraveOS at this point I think.

It sounds like you would enjoy Linux though you should at least know that running your games will need additional hoops comparing to Windows since they’re Windows games, nothing something wild and will be mostly about changing the default WINE to Proton if you use Lutris or Heroic for them. However sometimes you will probably need to troubleshoot for some game time to time, but you’ll get used to that once you learn the idea.
Linux Mint is likely the safest choice here. Zorin is also fine for newbies.
Also note that, a lot of things will be different than Windows, though you can always search for an equivalent for something you used. At least the structure is much more beautiful on Linux, unlike Windows’ chaotic nature.
Yeah, it’s actually quite clean as an interface. Though I also like my graphs. :)
You’re welcome! I also learned it from someone else on Lemmy. :)
Didn’t know about Tickmate. I see why you like it. I guess if I didn’t start with Track & Graph and met Tickmate first, I would go with it. I think both are great on their own.
Had no idea but there is a difference between straight out vibe-coding and making it fix the code. Still not ideal though.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Lost workout data due to ChristianityEnglish
5·11 days agoWhile it has nothing to do with that (US uses Sunday as first day, Europe uses Monday as first day) it just resets weekly but the data is still there. You need to connect it to its app, maybe even Gadgetbridge if you’re lucky (don’t know what watch is yours). Also I’m pretty sure it has an option to change the first day of the week (usually in the app).

By the way, you can still create a distraction-free environment for yourself with GUI. Just go with a minimal setup, something like Niri, Sway, river etc. (Openbox, bspwm, i3wm, Xmonad, dwm if you prefer X11).
The key points for distraction-free is to have a minimal desktop and using a program launcher like d-menu, fuzzel or rofi. TUI programs also help a lot. This way you won’t need a second OS setup and can do everything in the same installation because TTY is restrictive for certain things.
There are also distraction-free GUI programs that you can use. For example I prefer ghostwriter as my go-to markdown editor, Apostrophe is also great if you prefer GTK. Depending on your use cases, there are a lot of programs like these.
Thanks. I think I should check out
fishsoon, I keep seeing it a lot lately and it seems to be made for lazy people like me. :)
