TMS treatment is starting to work, but I can see I have a long way to go in terms of fixing the bad mental hygiene habits that keep knocking me down. Burnout is terrible. I am thankful for this community.

Comment on Pop!_OS hardware compatibility in ~tech

Pop!_OS just works and it works really, really well. Setting up Pop!_OS has been very easy on the 5+ systems I have installed it on. The OS's GNOME setup called COSMIC is simple to use and I personally find it very productive.
The compatibility with NVIDIA has been a major reason why I have been so happy with Pop!_OS. I do a lot of machine learning/deep learning, and getting the OS set up on systems with NVIDIA cards was almost too easy - everything installed and worked without fudging. I recently set up a new workstation - from the start of install to testing out my machine learning code took about 2.5 hours (and most of that time was spent watching the install).
The other thing that I should mention is upgrading the OS. I used to run Ubuntu on computers and almost every time I would try to upgrade between releases something would fundamentally break irrecoverably. So far Pop!_OS has upgrade well each time.
Software wise, I mostly live in Linux running Linux applications, so I am not sure about Proton/Steam/etc. But if your workflow uses mostly FOSS, you'll be fine.

I largely agree about LibreOffice. I’ve been a Linux user forever - compiled my first kernel on an SGI Indy back in ‘99. Using LibreOffice feels like opening OpenOffice 15 years ago.
I recently made the switch to OnlyOffice and this pain point is pretty much gone. It’s an excellent office suite, and has pretty fantastic compatibility with Microsoft Office. I work in a Microsoft heavy shop, and I’ve rarely run into compatibility issues across the entire office suite. I’ve heard there’s some concerns with Russian ownership of the code, so I’m looking forward to Euro-Office to release their official desktop editors soon.
