In my storm and stress phase, I tried many things, but nowadays I tend to choose boring technology when it comes to work, for me that is Ubuntu or Debian with XFCE4 Desktop.
On my personal System I currently run Omarchy though.

Omarchy looks interesting! The guy on the video gives me anxiety, but read everything about the distro and I am going to play with it tonight.

I tried Omarchy to explore Hyprland, Waybar, and similar tools. I'd seen them in beautifully riced tiling desktops and wanted to experience that myself. Mainly, I wanted an opinionated, different desktop experience to break from my usual setup.
Next time I reinstall, I'll probably take my custom Hyprland and Waybar configs and move to a Debian/Ubuntu-based system.
Have you had the opportunity yet to play around with Omarchy?

That's funny, from the title I was expecting insecurity to mean "unsure of oneself" or "fear of missing out", which DHH is also a master of marketing toward.
Upon further reflection, creating a sense of missing out on something is the essence of modern marketing.

I spent some time looking into what Omarchy has become since I installed it on my system, and I donโt think I like it anymore. ^^
Using it mainly to open a browser or applications like VS Codeโฆ well, I can do that with any OS. But the whole โAI-firstโ direction, DHH, and everything surrounding it are making me reconsider. Iโll probably migrate away from it soon. #bummernotesfollow

I use Ubuntu with the default Gnome Desktop. I like it a lot and it just works. I've been using it since the beginning. It is not perfect (what distro is?) but it works fine for me.

Arch, because I feel you cannot use Linux without knowing how it works, and sway for window manager because it is highly stable, wholly keyboard driven, and tiling

Ubuntu or Linux Mint with Cinnamon and i3 alternating as window managers here
@melting_coffee_mug๐คprofilefollowreplied to@davidprofilefollow๐ A lifetime Apple user. Partner says I am pedantic, sarcastic, and cynic. I just want to be me.:
Arch Linux with KDE. I like that Arch comes with nothing and is pretty vanilla. No bloat, and customisable. No major upgrades where 5 things break at once. Install once, and it's fine until the device has to be replaced. Only then usually do a fresh install. It's up to date, still pretty boring, and you learn a bit in the process.

i distro hoped a lot. Finally i found my cozy home with debian with kde. 3 years still running without a problem all the software i use works perfectly and the games run smoothly.

Sublime Text, but I taught myself VS Code instead because itโs more popular and thus easier for pair work. But also I am a pragmatist, so whatever gets the job done and is installed.
vim/neovim with vim keys everywhere else -- once you learn it text editing with any thing else feels slow
Team vim, it still works even in the worst internet connection. Saved my ass many times during emergencies.

Perhaps controversial #featurenotesfollow for #tlognotesfollow, but now you can create multiple accounts under your account (aka personas) that you can use as regular accounts, each with their own profile. The same email is used and you can switch between them under /account/accountstextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts..

To prevent abuse this is rate-limited to 2 new accounts per month.

Can anyone tell me their use-case? maybe I just don't see it.

keyboardinterrupt.com:Freedom of expression is one, perhaps you want to say things and not be associated with your "regular" account, that would maybe be seen by co-workers or potential employers. Another is you want to make a bot to post some stuff but not be seen as actually typed by you.
Different followings/ers as well. You could always do a new account with a new email to do that, so nothing is new here. It's just an easier way to make a different new account.

With other services where I had to separate concerns I just resorted to creating multiple accounts linked to dedicated Mail addresses, but it makes sense if you i.E. cater communication to separate groups. etc.. got it :)
