Ozymandias

I think we will be getting proper arch on arm!

Lots already mentioned, but these i would add:

• Werk ohne autor
• Gattaca
• Thank you for smoking
• Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis

Sorry to hear of your struggle. Like others already suggested, keeping a diary with your symptoms can help the diagnostic proces. However the symptoms you list are difficult to pinpoint to one specific neurological problem, assuming you already had an MRI of your head, an EMG and a lumbar puncture.

In my experience doctors can sometimes be very good at what they do, but very bad communicators. The way you can best stand up for yourself is to prepare your visit. Write down the questions that you have. It helps if you can clearly articulate what it is that you want from them. But allow yourself some time to think about this question first. Sometimes, what you need has more to do with being taken seriously, or being reassured nothing bad is going on than having a diagnosis. Keep in mind that although modern medicine has come a long way, we still know very little of the intricate processes of the body. Maybe there isn’t a know diagnosis yet that explains your symptoms. This doesn’t mean that your symptoms aren’t real, they absolutely are! A good doctor should in this case be honest and tell you that they just don’t know, and they are out of testing options. If this is the case they should however try to help you manage your symptoms and get your life back on track. Lastly, consider that there are a set of psychosomatic disorders that can give real physical symptoms, but they should only be considered if other diseases are ruled out first. Read up on them, but don’t let a doctor suggest it without having properly gone through the diagnostic process.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you get better!

I don’t use yay so can’t help you there. For me the most useful pacman commands just got memorized after doing an install. I don’t think you need to memorize that much.

But to your question, instead of mnemonics you could use aliases instead for bash or zsh. that way you can use your own made up commands (or even mnemonics)

I’m impressed, how do you even make this?

TeXla

I do. I guess it depends on your workflow though. Gnome tries to get out of the way and is quite minimal. I’m that way too, like to keep my desk uncluttered for example. I couldn’t even imagine a task that requires me to have 10 programs open, but if I had to, I guess I would try to group them on workspaces and try to limit the amount. Would be far easier for me to remember that way.

I’ve tried other DE’s and window managers, but they all feel like taking a huge step backwards to me. You should however try to find something that suits you the best, maybe KDE?

Gnome without extensions. It gets out of the way and let’s me work. Whenever I have to use something else, it feels like going backwards in time. I used to love tinkering with my system and tried a lot of DE’s back in the days. Don’t have the time for that anymore.

I did have to adjust though. I think that a lot of the hate gnome gets is because of this. If you espect it to work like a traditional desktop you’re going to get frustrated and install too many extensions to make it like one. My advise would be to set aside your presumptions and try it like it’s meant to be used. You might be surprised, I know I was…

A while ago I found this video, which explains it in more detail.

Ok, count me in!
