Maybe your trouble is the bread. Wholemeal are carbs and carbs are sugar. The sugarless peanut butter should not be causing any sugar crashes.
Caveat. Not a trained specialist here. Just someone who has been trying to sort my issues out and wanting to share.
Coming from MacOS into Linux and landing on Debian/Gnome encouraged me into the world of keyboard-driven navigation.
I got into customising keybindings and moved to a split programmable mech keyboard not too long after. Three years ago I made the switch to Sway and now on Niri (all transitions switched off) on my laptop. My desktop workstation still is on Gnome and I switch between the two machines (with full keyboard-driven navigation) seamlessly.
Yes, some extensions do break on updates but I use extensions very minimally and they get patched relatively quickly. For the experience Gnome provides, I dont mind the couple of days that “blur my shell” is broken. The DE remains stable and the keyboard-driven workflow is fast.
Now that I daily drive a WM (on my laptop) I am thankful I started on Gnome upon landing in Linux. It still remains the best keyboard-driven DE out of the box for Linux first-timers. Perhaps Cosmic will be the other DE in a few years.
I hope Gnome sticks to its phislosphy as it truly provides something unique, stable and a great entry point into the world of keyboard-driven workflows out of the box.
Lots of people like Vivaldi for the many reasons stated in the comments. I personally feel its bloated, cluttered UI and it runs heavier on my system (compared to Helium and Ungoogled Chromium, which are both excellent browsers).
However, I daily drive Mullvad and Librewolf, with Zen for web presentations. I much rather these hardened Firefox browsers than Chromium based ones.
Mouse pointer is bloat… /s
Oh Jeez. Last thing I want to do is to tell anybody to delete their work. Thats not my intent. I came to the photo to be reminded of the place, so I am eternally grateful for the post and photo. Perhaps, repost with the licence plate obscured?
in the attempt to directly answer your question, all I can possibly say is that someone who is privacy conscious would not appreciate their car being identified. I would feel the same.
Again, I apologise if I’m bursting your bubble here. Its not at all my intent.
License plates and other identifiable should be permanently obscured before uploading to preserve anonymity.
Use a retired phone with no apps other than your music and the players (New Pipe, Archive Tune, etc) you want. Give your old phones a 2nd life without having to purchase another thing. Connect via WiFi and have a ball.

I find not being on social media, limiting my exposure to the news and staying outdoors (planting, working with nature and people, immersing myself with live art like live music or a play) makes the difference.
Things start looking bleak when most of my activity and time is the screen.
There is also something to be said about overwhelming the visual stimulus and and the subsequent degredation of mental health.
That would be the first thing I would do.
However, the killer ingredient is to learn how to sit alone -no book, no activity. To just sit and learn how to be. You will see the benefits over prolonged disciplined practice.
I find it much easier to do the 2nd thing once the 1st thing is in order.
Thanks. This is what I concluded from my reading too. Just needed to jump an extra hoop or two to allocate for btrfs which I didnt know about but going back and redoing the zrsm swap was not difficult.
My daily driver is a 2014 i5 machine with 4GB RAM, running Fedora 43 Sway (riced but no animations).
It can simultaneously run Emacs, Librewolf 6-8 tabs (research), Helium 2-3 tabs (for email, calendar & cloud drive) and 1-2 desktop chat apps. If I flick on Freetube at this point, it’ll freeze up.
I’ve got a pretty minimalist approach to work so I don’t have too many things running most of the time. I use mostly system packages and Flatpaks sparingly. I can keep running this thing as my daily driver for a few more years.
Also stick a 27" display and a pair of 5" powered studio speakers into it in the evenings to enjoy some movie streaming.
ps: I’ve recently configured another 12GB of virtual memory (?) on the SSD to support the 4GB RAM on the machine and that has significantly helped with multitasking.
ps2: Sharing the above to encourage to try Linux out. I came to this with zero knowledge amd experience. Really amazing what’s possible.
ps3: May be also good to mention that if first ran Linux Mint (with no optimisations or modifications) on this machine and only moved to Fedora a year later. Both distros worked flawlessly. If anybody is keen to know why I moved from Linux Mint to Fedora, please ask and I will share my experience.
Good call with Angel Dust. King For a Day, Fool For A Lifetime completes the syllabus.
Miles Davis:
Cornerstone records from which everything from the Headhunters, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra and the great exploration of jazz, psychedelic, rock and everything else in between.

And the link written this way works better methinks. https://hrnews1.substack.com/p/feminist-icon-gloria-steinem-was
Truth is, most of us feel the same way you do. You are not alone. What is being shared by the community is the “best options of what we have” at the moment.
This tyranny is by design. But this also means we can design ourselves out of it. Its just slow process.
We are starting to see new models of communication be develop, and in some cases we are seeing convergence of these efforts into very exciting solutions.
We’ll get there. Its a lot of work and we have to keep doing whatever we can in our capacity to help that process along.
Just know we all feel the same way you do, and this is the best we got for the time being. We have to stick together and keep talking all this.
Power to us!!
Perhaps you have some useful suggestions to share. Always happy to listen and learn.
I jumped through hoops with the Samsung. ADB-ed the hexk out of it and broke functionality in so many ways.
If I can save you the effort - DON’T even bother trying. There is just too much interconnectedness to undo without breakage.
I moved to a hunch of Pixels running Graphene and have lived happily ever after.
With the added Israeli spyware coming to Samsung, I cannot think of any reason to put any effort into it.
Additional info: Skip the Pixel 6 and 7. Its better to spend a little more in the Pixel 8. I got mine used and its brilliant. I also liked how the Pixels 4 and 5 were as well. Very good devices.

Now the US sees the flag in the same way the rest of the world has always seen it.
