Avid PC gamer, Linux convert, SCP fan.

Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can’t stand Hip-Hop.

Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I’m a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.

Chronically online.

Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

  • I would recommend Nobara, which has a Nvidia-specific installation medium and comes from Glorious Eggroll (the GE in GE-Proton). Bazzite is also a fine choice. Both are based on Fedora.

    I wouldn’t choose Debian for gaming if you can help it - Debian chooses stability instead of gaming as focus, which is fine for servers, but not for your usecase.

    But to be honest, I don’t think openSuse is the reason for your issues - the probability is high that it’s an issue with Proton or the Nvidia drivers. Try posting logfiles!



  • Especially if you consider self-harm, it is very important to be honest with your therapist. Even if it leads to an extended stay in a psych ward, that’s better than throwing your life away.

    When my depression took over so hard that i was sitting in my room with a knife in my hand and pondering cutting open my wrists, instead i went directly to the psych ward and institutionalized myself for 3 months, until my medication and therapy made me stable enough to leave without danger. Without this step, i would probably not be here anymore and would have caused untold pain to my surroundings. It led to many happy memories in my life which i wouldn’t have experienced.


  • The 3 basics are always the same: regular sleep, regular eating, regular exercise. If these things don’t work, the rest gets infinitely harder.

    For me personally: try to get a feel where my personal limits are, and act on them. That often means taking a step back, leaving a social situation and not feel bad about it; canceling appointments if they would be too much for me, even if i miss out on stuff (like not using cards for the theater even if i paid for them). Telling myself that I have innate worth regardless of what i do or not do; internalizing that being pensioned doesn’t make me worth less than when i worked. Accepting that my issues will never be gone, and that i can only work on fixing my reactions and reducing the time to counteract.

    Currently i am failing at literally everything except that i still tell myself that i am worthy of a fulfilling life.
