I tried openshot, shotcut and kdenlive. They all felt rather cheap. Flowblade was a nice surprise tho.

> mainly to reduce the memory and app size footprints, which are the main things everybody complains about with Electron

Those are annoyances. But the way an app feels and behaves is the main culprit IMHO. I'd rather have a heavy app that looks and feels native than the other way around.

I don't know about museeks tho. Never tried it. But best of luck with the port in any case!

VMWare has the best virtual graphics performance IMHO. Hyper-V or Virtualbox is just painful in comparison. Until graphic vendors support partitioning GPU resources to allow sharing the main GPU to a VM using passthrough, it will likely remain one of the best options for many.

Looks like a solid approach. I've mostly gravitated in the same direction after my last "mystery disease". I would add yoga/meditation and mindfulness to that list as well as the importance of sleep. Sleep seem to impact me more than anything else. I used to be up all night working and coding. I like the night. But it seems more and more obvious to me how bad this is for my wellbeing. That, and also to get enough natural sunlight during the day, but this is also intimately linked with sleep of course.

No it's not about the internet for me, just the work aspects of sitting in front of a computer. But i will admit that all the remote work and studies did NOT help at all. I pretty sure that being starved of almost all (real) social interactions during that period contributed to this situation.

Alright i'll consider talking to someone. I think i might get access to a counselor through my uni. And when my economy gets better i can seek out a professional. Thanks for the advice, it's nice to know someone else went through something like this and made it through!

The pomodoro approach seems like a step in the right direction. I'll try it out for sure! I'm also considering moving to a low carb approach instead of keto. Only reason i stayed in ketosis for so long is it's actually quite pleasant and from what i can tell from studies it increases GABA in the brain which is a godsend when you're struggling emotionally. Thanks for the suggestions fellow human.

> and I found ruby to be really difficult to understand

This is my one pain point with JS actually. I've tried getting comfortable for literally years. Sometimes when i look at how stuff is done in JS, it's so incredibly alien to me. I just can't wrap my head around what is happening.

I was hoping it would go away with time. Unfortunately it doesn't. Maybe it's the "flexibility" of the language or something.

This! Why would you at LEAST not give the option? It's such a central piece of the whole OS. We interact with windows ALL the time. I'm getting too old for this crap LOL.

I wish they could finally include some mechanism to map running WSL instances to a hostname / static ip. Also, a big difference to running a vmware instance is that you never know when the WSL instance is shut down, and you can't save the "state", that is, hibernate or suspend it.

Honestly, i just want a replacement for vmware that uses less resources. So i can run a completely isolated desktop for each project i'm working on. Suspend it, reboot my machine, and then load it up and continue where i left off, all windows and terminal sessions intact. The last bit assumes one can run a (non ephermal) graphical desktop of course, which rules out docker pretty much.
