• distro hopping

  Pick up your Desktop Environment based on your computer's specs, NOT on your visual preferences. (HINT: XFCE consumes way less system resources than GNOME and KDE). Source: 7 months ago

• Lightweight dev tools.

  It’s a bit of an interesting challenge and has forced me to re-examine some of my tool usage. I started by a minimal install of Debian “bookworm” with the XFCE Desktop Environment which chews through much fewer resources than the default GNOME 43 based environment (although more than LXDE - but there still has to be room for aesthetics). - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  Luckily you can get an efficient, clean Desktop Environment that works well and is actively developed: Xfce ( https://xfce.org/ ) I think you will like it. It has a very early-2000's feel IMO. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• best lightweight linux distro for old laptop and gaming

  Well, it depends. It was better experience than FreeBSD 7.2 that's for sure. :) It was running Xorg with https://i3wm.org, a web-server, XMPP-server, PostgreSQL, few bots and dovecot / postfix (e-mail server). It was doing fine routing internet for 2PCs and a WiFi router for 10 years until its HDD died. For gaming... erm... I was able to play something like Theme Hospital or Syndicate Wars in dosbox.

• Only one of the four XFCE4's desktop/workspace got hung and now I can't use wallpaper

  Another resource for help might be xfce.org. It's a low traffic site, but responsive. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where can I buy sit/stand desks in India?

  How did you manage an autonomous.ai desk since they don't have shipping options to India by default? Source: over 1 year ago

• Thanks to PCMR advice, finally stopped buying crappy "gaming chairs" and bought a real chair to game with. And it vibrates and heats up. On sale for just over $200.

  How do you like the desk? I'm currently using an autonomous.ai sit to stand desk (i never stand because for whatever reason I can't problem solve as well while standing) and I have a secretlab chair that I think is "just OK" (titan evo 2022), but I've been looking at their desks for a while now.

• Any chair recommendations for therapists? What do you use?

  For telehealth, which is the majority of my practice, I use an autonomous.ai. It's not cheap, but not as expensive as many other similar chairs. Completely changed my life. Source: over 1 year ago

• Does core strengthening actually work?

  I actually currently work an office job, though I do have the luxury of getting up frequently. That is the first thing I would recommend, is standing and stretching as often as you can. I also bought a chair from Autonomous (autonomous.ai) that has really good lumbar support and adjustability. Depending on where you work, you are entitled to ask your employer to make sure your chair and work space conform to safe... Source: over 1 year ago
