Thanks. I will probably end up keep using gimp and krita.

Looks interesting, hadn’t heard from it. Thanks.

This does not remember the position of each individual window, though. i.e. all programs will (still) open on the same position.

Personally I self-host on a raspberry pi. It took me a few weeks to setup, but it has been running without problems for almost 2 years now at practically no cost (beyond purchase and electricity).

Are you familiar with the theory of predictive processing? If not, look it up esp. In relation to autism. Tldr: human brains do not process information to form an image of the world, but we predict what the world may look like at any given moment. We use our sensory input only to correct errors in our prediction. There are two thing at play with autism here. 1. We are aware of more errors than NTs (inability to sift critical errors from non-critical ones) 2. When human brains detect an error it can choose to believe the input or the prediction. NT brains assign higher value to normative rules (sometimes they value input more and other times the prediction (internalized belief)) While autistic brains give more value to sensory input. Anyway, this is what I know of the current state of neurological difference, but I’m no scientist.

I tried lsd once in my tweens. Didn’t really like the trip itself but remember feeling good for a week afterwards. Never tried shrooms. Might consider it. Just not sure where to get it (safely). Thanks for the advice.

Not an answer to you actual question, but: I stopped using dead keys long ago because I found it irritating to have to hit space whenever I needed to break out. Instead I mapped my CapsLock to be a Compose-key which lets me make almost any symbol I ever need in a very intuitive wsy. It works everywhere (incl. Wayland).

I am very happy with it. I did switch from Kubuntu to Manjaro KDE, but that was not because of the GPU. The only thing that bothers me is that the fans can be noisy during some games at high load. But during everyday desktop use the fans are idle since its passive cooling capabilities are good (I have one from Powercolor, so any other brand may be different on this point). For me, the temp stays at <40°C for normal desktop use. I haven’t seen it go over 83 during gaming. You can adjust the fan curve with Corectl and even overclock it (I haven’t) if you want; but everything else just works without additional drivers/software. Now, I don’t play heavy fps games, but the games I do play are lag/stutter free. My most taxing game atm is Cities Skylines 2 and I get a solid 60fps with that and my heavily modded Minecraft runs smooth as butter. All in all, I think the card gives excellent value for money.

Runs fine on my computer. Getting a consistent 40-60 fps without lag or stuttering in a 10K city.
