The entire state smells like balls too.

Adderall works great for me for pushing through the focus issues and inattention. However, my anxiety and rumination kept building and building until I had an anxiety attack and have since gone on an SSRI as well and after a week of upset stomach, and 3-4 weeks of feeling nothing, my anxiety melted away. The funny thing is, I honestly didnt know how fucking bad my anxiety was. I am an extremely self-relfective person, but that shit was hiding behind everything, and it took the attack for me to identify it.

So, my advice is once you’re on a med that’s working for you, after about 2-3 months work with your psych and therapist to analyze whether you have anything else impacting you on top of the ADHD. Depression, anxiety and a few other mental health issues are comorbidities to ADHD and if you don’t treat those effectively, or let them hide behind you unknowingly like I did, you could suffer a mental health episode like I did.

Medication is working great for me. The clarity and focus have been astounding. And I only was partially the way there with adderall alone.

Just an HMD. He’s largely a sim pit VR user.

Samsung Odyssey w/ GTX 2060.

He’s using Monando built with Envision without the steamvr-monado Plugin because “it slows everything down”.

I have a friend that regularly games in VR in Linux. Admittedly, he’s always faffing around with it to make it work. But he’s also a bit of a chaotic person that runs Arch, so that could just be him and not a failing of the current level of support.

Time & effort. Everything that you do means something else doesn’t get done. Whether that be gaming with friends or an item off your project/chore list.

We know that gaming centric distros are great for getting up & running, but it’s still a time sink, and will require effort. Not everybody has a backup drive with their games and will have to re-download everything too. There’s also a risk their favorite game isn’t compatible with Linux

Windows 10 also works just fine. I still have it on 2 of my 4 computers (2/5 if you count my Deck), and haven’t switched those over yet because I’m being lazy on one and the other is a perfect candidate for the SteamOS UX experience since it’s a HTPC. However, I have done some looking around at other HTPC experiences and just haven’t pulled the trigger. Which will be awesome, since Windows did away with their HTPC UX years ago.

I haven’t run across a game that hasn’t run on The Deck yet. I know it’s capable of running quite a lot, but I got it to play indie games. It’s been great and does what I want it to do phenomenally. Additionallh if I ever wanted to do something more demanding on it, I could.

Intellisense has been doing this for a bit now, and this tip will work in various IDEs these days, including Visual Studio & Jetbrains!

$50 on Musk calling everybody pedophiles when they reject his proposal that’s full of issues.

I have mixed. The impulse control sucks as well as forgetting comments. I’ve come up with some mechanisms to help me remeber from notes, making a fist and holding up a finger for each thing I want to say, etc. Sometimes my comments/questions are answered if I wait too. I sometimes still forget. However, the urge to grip my hands together and claw at the skin on my hands is very real if I resist the impulse to jump in or rush the person to their point.

It’s the impulse control and anxiety & frustration that builds from not giving in to the impulse that’s the challenge. That’s if you’re aware of the issue that if you do give in to the impulse you will likely come off as a dismissive asshole, and probabaly even condescending.

This is what charge backs are for FYI.

“I’m sorry, but you failed to provide a service. Either give me a full refund or I will start the charge back process with my credit card company and you’ll be forced to explain why your refund policy violates their ToS and any penalties that arise from that process.”
