Even if you do not want to use the command line/terminal very often, it would be worth just learning how to install, remove packages and update your system. Just those few things will likely make your whole experience much easier.

we should always make time for play (in general)

They're not really debloatable but you can use alternatives. Newpipe can handle YouTube. Invidious instances in the browser. Something like libredirect can send you to alternate front ends for Reddit.

it drinks more coffee

Very comfortable with Rofi. It's especially nice in a window manager as it also works as a switcher or shortcut to your open programs.

The keybinds you can set up in e.g Ranger for navigating or moving files are incredibly fast and easy. Sure you could just use shell commands/aliases etc. but the visual representation of the file system that a TUI provides, I find really useful.

Openboard with swipe is the current champ 💪

Sometimes a dream takes a dark turn and that's usually when I realise that it is in fact a dream. I start to look for an exit and awareness shifts to my physical body eyelids opening as the way out.

maybe look into udiskie for automounting/unmounting your external drives. It notifies, ejects and powers them off nicely with a terminal command you could alias, script or keybind to something real simple. Then in ranger I have 'gm' set as shortcut to go to media. I don't need the GUI file manager that often anymore.

Lost Boys 2 is pretty tragic. Dunno about worst ever.. but first thing that sprung to mind. Those sequels are rough and capture none of the magic of the original. They shouldn't have bothered.

can't access the GIFs panel without internet access..just standard emoji..I don't use those anyway so can deal with that.

Yes probably. It's a compromise and not ideal. I revoke internet access and on Graphene OS not tied to a Google account. We all find our own peace with this kind of thing. Florisboard looked very promising but the swipe text wasn't implemented last I checked.

Unfortunately Gboard is still the best around. Block it's internet access.

After some time living with Gimp/Krita etc. you will learn to do the things you did with Photoshop. It does takes some time and research/learning. I was real comfy with PS and do miss it but the more I've gone without, the more I've found ways to tackle the things I need to do with alternatives.

Thanks, this worked for me..been bothering me a little while now why I couldn't see my subs etc. 👍

Yeah, in for the long haul. Once the knowledge base and communities build up a bit it'll be great. It'll take some time.. There's still a lot of good searchable information deep in the subreddits.
