Good I’m on Tumbleweed then. 😁

Seriously, I will test it in a virtual machine.

Good point. Which distros handle it well?

You can. That’s what I meant with folders. But I cannot position these icons and folders freely on a grid like the Win10 Start menu allows. Still, Gnome comes quite close.

Thank you. I might just have to switch to KDE for that. Will install KDE on my current GNOME environment. Will give it a test drive.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at it. It is basically a simplified Windows 7 menu. Decent, but it doesn’t go far enough for me.

Gnome itself is actually not bad. It has a full screen menu and arrangeable application icons and folders, but I cannot group them the way I want, let alone resize them. I wish there was something for Gnome, but I don’t see it.

Perhaps I am asking for an edge case. Even Microsoft has dumbed down its Start menu in 11 to essentially a mobile launcher. Too few people seem to want that.

This looks great.

Suggestion: a step-by-step “howto” with an example or three to make it more useful for beginners.

At least they’re moo-ving.

In fact, we need MORE CO2!

Wake up, sheeple!

Can’t helo but feel sorry. Not his fault that he was raised in a Neanderthal cave.

Clearly you’re part of the problem.

Enjoy your ignorance while the planet burns!

Climate change is a hoax!

Not all heroes wear capes.

This. So much this.

Balancing multiple interests and projects is not easy. Seems to me you need some balance.

Just some ideas that help me get stuff done.

Prioritizing. Identify which project or task is most urgent or important to you right now. Focus on that one first before moving on to the next.

Realistic Goals. Break down your larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks. This can make them feel less daunting and help you make more steady progress instead of leaving them entirely. Also be realistic in how many projects you can handle.

Scheduling. Allocate/schedule specific time blocks for each activity. For example, dedicate certain hours of the day to game development, writing, and leisure activities. This keeps one organised and helps progress on all fronts.

Limit Distractions. If you’re easily distracted, fix that. Minimize interruptions during your dedicated work times. Stay focused.

Otherwise take regular breaks, don’t expect perfection of yourself and share your tasks with someone to help you stay balanced.

If it’s extreme, consider getting professional support. No shame in that. Quite the opposite.

Edit: spelling

So many good ones. I’ll just paste the (slightly edited) podcast descriptions of three I enjoy here:

Twenty Thousand Hertz A lovingly crafted podcast that reveals the stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds.

Under the Influence Under the Influence gives listeners a rare backstage pass into the hallways, boardrooms and recording studios of the ad industry. Fascinating (and humorous) stories that connect the dots between pop culture, marketing and human nature.

Freakonomics Radio Uncovers the hidden side of everything. Why is it safer to fly in an airplane than drive a car? How do we decide whom to marry? Why is the media so full of bad news? Also: things you never knew you wanted to know about wolves, bananas, pollution, search engines, and the quirks of human behavior.

True. It just looks nasty.

Fair enough. They still don’t know what >7% of people are using, though.

Thanks. So what is measured is merely the browsers people are using? Then I can see why the metrics are more general ballparks than precise measurements, seeing that the user agent can be modified with ease.
