  • Just a point on Wayland - I have an nvidia GPU and have been on Wayland for a couple months now (KDE Plasma), and its been entirely problem free and I actually forgot I switched from X11 to Wayland.

    Blender has support for Wayland now too.

    I do a lot of gaming and development - ever since Nvidia made those changes for Wayland support and KDE added that explicit sync stuff its been great. Before all of that though I had heaps of issues with flickering and just general usability.

    Wayland actually fixed a number of issues for me, like stuttering when notifications appear, and jankyness in resizing windows.













  • I got up to a pack a day when I decided to quit. The biggest thing that helped me quit was getting an app on my phone which tracked the cost and how many you’re smoking. When you start reducing the amount smoked etc it tracked how much money you’ve saved, how much healthier your lungs are (lung capacity etc), how much more time you’ve added to your life expectency, all that sorta stuff.

    Having numbers and stats to track, made it feel more tangible and felt like I was making actual progress towards something.

    Its worth a shot.
