What have you switched to?
Again, I want to establish that I've learned a ton and really appreciate your writings. Thank you!
That looks interesting, although I would be weary of learning a layout that only works on specific keyboards, it will make it hard for you to use a laptop on the go, work in an office with a normal keyboard or any other similar situation.
Thanks for the reminder! While I can't completely ignore the main takeaway, I do find myself only rarely (read: less than 5%) engage with normal keyboards. And, AFAIU, by only adopting the exotic layout for splitting keyboards, I can keep the muscle memory for QWERTY on regular keyboards. Though, please feel free to correct me if I say something that goes against your own experiences.
which btw I strongly recommend you check out wrist and finger stretching exercises as they help a lot
Would you be so kind to share what has worked for your wrist? While there's no reason to assume that your exercises work out for me, I can at least discuss them with the physiotherapist. BTW, to be clear, I've already visited the physiotherapist a number of times and we've discussed exercises that I've eventually incorporated in my daily routine.
Lots of the changes I made (e.g. split ortholinear keyboard) were probably not needed
Question: If we focus on the split ortholinear keyboard, is only the ortholinear aspect (possibly) redundant? Or..., the split itself?
Well articulated reply. Thank you!
Any place where I can follow its development?
Isn’t Bazzite built on Fedora Silverblue
Kinda.
installs the Steam Flatpak?
Actually no. Bazzite installs Steam from the RPM Fusion repo.
As for an attempt to shed light on why Fedora is absent from Steam's numbers, see this comment. Finally, perhaps this is worth looking into to see how big Fedora's gaming community is compared to the rest of its users.
Bazzite is a lot less user friendly than mint in major ways.
Would you be so kind to substantiate the above claim beyond what's found below?
KDE is too deep unnecessarily so.
Unfortunately, based on what I saw on the Proton website, if I want to use it on linux it looks like the only way is to get it on Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora using the console.
For official support, yes. Thankfully, ProtonVPN is also available as a flatpak. As such, any distro that allows installing (unverified) flatpaks through its GUI software store suffices. Though, not all distros are created equally in this respect. Focusing on Kubuntu and Linux Mint specifically:
- Kubuntu requires the use of CLI to set this up.
- Linux Mint, on the other hand, supports it by default. Though, by default, unverified flatpaks are hidden. Thankfully, you can change that in the preferences window of its software manager.
Thank you! Great answer!
For some reason, perhaps because I'm an absolute shill/sucker for free services, I always forget about mailbox.org. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and talking about its features!
Though, if I understand correctly, we basically don't have a privacy-respecting email provider that offers auto-forward and auto-reply functionality in its free plan/tier:
- Proton Mail requires a paid plan for auto-forwarding/replying and its free plan doesn't support IMAP. BUT?!, crucially, IIUC, the issue can already be circumvented with a custom domain that sits in front of Proton Mail. Which, isn't entirely free, but 1$ for the domain ain't bad.
- Tuta Mail doesn't even offer the functionality AFAIK nor does it support IMAP. Furthermore, I don't know if the custom domain trick works for this one.
- Finally, mailbox.org doesn't even have a free plan. Though, at 1 euro/month, it's at least very competitively priced.
This is pretty cool and definitely has use, but IIUC this is strictly a free forwarding address, right? I don't think it tries to compete with Proton Mail or Tuta Mail.
Thank you for raising this point.
Are there even other privacy-respecting email providers that are fit for the job? I'm genuinely curious.
EDIT: I absolute hate doing this, but I want to understand: Why is this getting downvoted?

Boiling Steam's latest analysis based on ProtonDB's dataset | Linux Distros in May 2025: CachyOS is The Fastest Growing Distro
(boilingsteam.com)
Included is the following disclaimer by the author:
- This may not be representative of all types of Linux users. I’m sure this is not what your AWS engineer uses on EC2.
- This may not be completely representative of all Linux gamers either. But I’d wage this is actually a good predictor where the market is going to shift. We saw first that Manjaro was getting the boot here first, before going under pretty much everywhere.
- There may be some additional biases, due to whoever used ProtonDB.
- Flatpak is NOT a distro, but that’s what Steam reports when it’s running on Flatpak, and Flatpak being distro independent we report it as a separate environment, if that makes sense. Feel free to ignore it if you wish.
- Arch Linux is Arch Linux on desktop. The Steam Deck’s OS is reported as HoloISO, not Arch Linux, so stop trying to claim that Arch is first because of the Steam Deck! This is mainly data reported from desktop PCs, so no, SteamOS is not a thing at the moment on such machines. This may change as Valve starts providing official support beyond the Steam Deck.
