When I can’t sleep, I turn around and sleep “upside down” - moving my pillows to where my feet were beforehand, and my feet to where my head was beforehand - and I stick with that for a week or so. It gives me a week or so without insomnia and then wears off, so I have to turn myself back around for the next 7-12 day period.
Admittedly this could just be a me thing, but let’s put our faith in this method and let the power of placebo effect take hold. Boom, minor bouts of sleeplessness are cured.
What are your own examples of this?
Not really nonsense but in the winter to stay really warm in your bed, just lay a fleece blanket flat over the fitted sheet. Sleep directly on top of it with your usual blankets covering you. The fleece will radiate your heat, which will then get trapped by the top blanket keeping you much more insulated.
If you want to have a deep rejuvenating sleep, wake up for about an hour in the middle of the night after a few hours of sleep. Don’t do anything that will make you wide awake. Just chill out for an hour and then go back to sleep. The second period of sleep will be so much better than the first.
Throw a square of dark chocolate in chili next time you make it, at least 70% cocoa but the higher the better. Next time you make boxed Mac and cheese, add a dash or 2 of Worcestershire sauce to it. The best egg you’ll ever eat: 1 egg, 1 tbsp of mayo whisked together in a glass container or small bowl. Add 1tsp of butter on top and microwave for 40-60 seconds. You’ll be pissed off about how good it is.
Next time you eat Oreos and milk, put the Oreos in a bowl and pour the milk over them and eat them with a spoon like cereal. Next time you eat cupcakes, carefully break off half of the bottom and put it on top of the icing so it’s like eating a sandwich.
Who are you, so wise in the ways of science?

cook bacon in water.
don’t drown it, but add just enough to render out the fat without the bacon being in direct contact with the pan, preventing sticking and burning. then once the water steams out the bacon is left to fry in its own juice, giving perfectly crispy bacon every time.
I just cook mine in the oven. Perfect crispy bacon every time.
Can confirm. This works amazingly well.
Alright! I’ll try that soon.
This is cooking advice.
If you struggle with cooking or find that you mess up often, try preparing all of the individual ingredients before you start cooking. Eg. measure, wash, cut every ingredient. Apparently this practice is called mise en place.
If you ever watch a cooking video and it looks so effortless this is probably why. It was a game changer back when I was learning to cook. Suddenly it felt like I could make every recipe with ease.
This practice has drawbacks as it could dirty more dishes and increase cook times but it allows you to tackle most dishes at your own pace. I definitely recommend it whenever you make something new for the first time.
Mise en place is essential in my mind and one of the most important skills I learned early on in culinary school. At home if you don’t want to dirty a ton of dishes, you can organize ingredients (veggie ones anyway, still need bowls for spices/liquids) into small piles on your cutting board. Then just grab a bench scraper or the side of your knife and toss the ingredients in as needed.
Also, get a kitchen scale. You won’t need it all the time but it’s so much easier to just stick a pot on top of a scale and add 500 ml of chicken stock than it is to have to measure 2 cups in a separate container. This is especially good if you’re looking to blanche/simmer something in a flavorful liquid like stock or broth
Also read the whole recipe including the method and notes; some love to just slip things in that aren’t in the ingredients list (something to grease a pan, etc.) and knowing times and temps is very useful.
I don’t particularly struggle with cooking and like to think I’m quite good at it, but I’ve started doing this, because I realised that every time I messed up, it was because I left something on for too long while prepping the next bit to go in the pan.
Having everything chopped, measured, and ready means you can pay full attention to what’s currently going, so you’re not rushed and panicking.
If someone is about to sneeze, wait until they begin to inhale and say something unexpected to them and it will stop them from sneezing.
I told this to my wife and she scoffed and didn’t believe me. One day her allergies were kicking up and she started to sneeze. I waited for the right moment and said “GRAPEFRUIT” to her and… She didn’t sneeze.
The secret is timing it correctly.
If you’re walking with an open container of liquid that’s filled so full it’ll spill, purposefully avert your gaze from the liquid sloshing as you’re walking.
Getting nervous that you’ll spill, will cause you to spill.
An easy trick to immediately get a better posture when walking is to pretend that you have laser cannons attached to your nipples and you are trying to zap people you meet in their faces.
On August 27 2031 make sure you turn left instead of right. You’ll know when I mean.
Here’s how I quit smoking about 15 years ago.
Step one: for about a month, every time I smoked I told myself I’m ready to quit. Every cigarette, every time.
Step two: the next month, every cigarette, every time, I told myself they stink and taste like shit.
Took about 3 weeks into the second month and I never picked up another. Oh and I can be around other smokers and don’t crave them. They still fucking stink.
YMMV
smoker in my early 20s and this advice might change my life.
Honestly, quit as soon as you can. After the two week mark, you’ll start smelling things again. At the one month mark, you’ll notice that you’re not constantly out of breath. Cravings still occasionally happen, but it shifts from “god damn it I need a donut right now” to “hmm a donut sounds good right now… But I don’t wanna bother with going to the donut shop.” The cravings never fully vanish, but they definitely change and become easier to dismiss as a passing whim.
Something like 20 years ago now, my pack-a-day wife decided to try a vaper. Not clouds-of-vape, just a pedestrian vaper.
She never went back to cigarettes. She decreased the nicotine and nowadays vapes maybe 2-3 times per day, I think her current level is 6… whatever units of nicotine, it’s not a lot.
I don’t care that she still vapes at that level. If there is anything bad, it’s not much at that rate, so screw it.
I realized it was causing a lot of anxiety for me. Easy quit after that because the reward was less anxiety after a few days.

If you can’t sleep. Get up. Get out of your bed for a while.
Staying awake while laying in bed often changes the association of sleep with the bed. Removing sleep conditioning effects.
Also as someone who has had insomnia since I was a child. I can tell you if I lay in bed. Unable to sleep. And Stay there. Rolling around. I won’t ever fall asleep.
But if I force myself to get up. Maybe have something to drink. Walk around a bit. Stare out the window for a bit. Then go back , I’m more likely to fall asleep.
And if I’m having really bad insomnia. I go for a walk. At this point I’m my life I can tell if it’s going to require a walk or just getting up and moving around the apartment/house for a bit.
Even a 15-20 min walk can do wonders. But I typically do 30 to 1 hour walk. It depends on how I’m feeling.
You would think exercising in the middle of the night would wake you up more. But nope.
9/10 times I go for a short walk. I get back and fall to sleep almost immediately.
It’s hard to force yourself to get up when you are exhausted and just want to sleep. But it’s do the walk or not sleep at all.
Also. Going out at 2 or 3 am on a week day is kinda of an interesting experience. Depending where you live, you might be the only person around.
It’s eirie and surreal. Subliminal spaces.
I quite like it. That also helps motivate me to do the insomnia walk. (Sometimes I ride my bike instead which is really nice as there are minimum cars. -make sure you are in light clothes and have lights and reflectors on your bike).
Yep. Doctors and randos alike will keep telling you to just try harder. Fuck that.
Read a book. Work some more on your project. Go for a run. Don’t try to sleep.
Years of reading in bed late at night while exhausted have conditioned me to associate reading with falling asleep. I don’t have insomnia much anymore, often the opposite. Any time I want to lay down and read my book before bed, I’m out like a light before I finish a single chapter. It could be a super power, but it also means it takes me months to finish a single novel. Also not ideal when I occasionally need to read reports or training materials at work and get to the end and my head is on the desk and I can’t keep my eyes open.
Hah, you swapped insomnia for reading-induced narcolepsy. Neat!
The suggestion would be to not read in bed
I have a very stubborn brain that will usually do the opposite of what I want.
My method is to try and turn on a movie or something I really have to pay attention to. I’ll start struggling to stay awake to keep track, and that will knock me out.

Man, I still eat like shit, but when I switched to drinking only water (instead of mainly soda/juice), I was easily able to lose the excess weight that had been building up.
No other changes. Just drink water. Only water. Water is good.
I keep a pitcher of cold, filtered water in the mini-fridge by my desk. That shit is delicious. And I don’t even miss anything. If you’re struggling with the switch to water, get yourself some good water.
To those consuming this, 100% try it. The first 3 or 4 days suck because your body expects calories with it’s drink and the buzz of sugar and caffeine. You can escape this by having a small chocolate with your water when you feel the craving.
Second point, mineral content, processing, temperature, and plumbing play a big role in your enjoyment. Personally I can’t drink cold water, it has to be room temperature and tap water here is too mineral heavy. Instead I refill 5 gallon water jugs and use a water crock.
I mean, you can also get some taste in your water by drinking tea.
If I wanted it to taste bad and bitter, sure.
/c/ShitUSiansSay
Tea (black and green) is only bitter if you don’t know how to make it. Get good quality tea leaves (not the ones in the bags, they are usually the worst quality) and look up what temperature the water needs to be for your kind of tea. Usually around 70-80°C for green tea and 80-90°C for black. Especially green tea is only bitter if you prepare it with boiling water.
Btw, if tea is too bitter for you, rooibos might fit better. Plus there are all kinds of herbal ‘teas’, or rather mixtures, that don’t contain tea proper — at least where I live. Although tea itself has barely any bitterness if you use a smaller dose of green tea, or something like white tea.
Of herbal or aromatic teas, you might want to choose those with berries or flowers, since they impart some sweet flavor, but still far from the sweetness of fizzy drinks. A bonus benefit is that there are a lot of different flavors. One should take from life all that it has, after all.
bro doesn’t know how to put sugar in their tea
If I put sugar in it, I might as well be drinking soda and juice again.
HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR TEA!?!?!?
ENOUGH THAT I CAN USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANCAKE SYRUP IN A PINCH IF NECESSARY!!!
Don’t put sugar in your tea - don’t drink calories.
If sweetening with artificial sweeteners tastes “bitter”, try a trick: Use packets of multiple types - one “equal”, one sucralose, one stevia, for example. You get the sweetness from each and not enough of the background bitterness (which is different).
That’s the main reason Coke Zero is pretty good as compared to Diet Coke - different formula, but they use two artificial sweeteners and get that affect - sweetness from two sources with half the bitterness (since each is different).
Oh no! Not the 48 calories! In my 0.7 giant fucking mug of tea! My diet is ruined!
Like, seriously?
You understand that most of the beverages are far less calorie-dense than your average snack, meal, or whatever, right? And that our stomach capacity is limited? Once you drink enough of even the sweetest tea, you won’t have the room for anything more dense for some time.
Do what works for you.
Yes, eliminating an excess of calories is a good way to lose weight. Don’t think this is sarcasm, this is AWESOME and I’m glad that’s all it took for you - or at least that was a good contributing factor.
The only thing I would say: Don’t drink calories. i.e. I assume you meant regular soda and juice you were drinking. Milk is in that category as well.
Coffee, tea, diet soda, crystal light or any packet you put in a bottle of water - look for the things with basically zero calories, and that should be what you drink most of the time.
For those that are worried about things like caffeine being diuretics and dehydrating you: Coffee and tea and diet soda are NEARLY as hydrating as plain water. It’s not a large difference.
If you can drink plain water, great! If you need a bit of flavour to help? That’s also fine - the important bit is not drinking calories.
While most probably would be okay with hydrating more, do be careful:
- The “eight glasses per day” thing was made up whole cloth
- The advice I’ve heard is that for MOST people, drink when you are thirsty.
But if you’re trying to figure out what’s wrong because you feel a little bad, or have a headache, or are sleepy, or feel like you might be hungry but think you shouldn’t be, or any number of other situations - drinking a glass of water usually doesn’t hurt, and does sometimes turn out to have been the issue. So it’s rarely terrible advice.
(Unless you’re on dialysis like me and have fluid restrictions) :)
yes. you need water more than calories and while the rule of threes is basically about calories with the three weeks if you don’t have fiber with those calories you will have a medical emergency on your hands. Granted though you can have to much water and fiber so its kinda a balance. I mean granted with water its more about to much water and not enough electrolytes.

Hyponatremia . We called it hyponatriosis or ‘water-drunk’ in the army. We had a girl in our platoon over-hydrate and go floppy on a march, and my swear-to-god buck-oh-five bunkmate had to play crutch for the rest of it while we all redistroed all their collective gear. (calm your breathing: they marched in back with the medicos under obs the entire time, and we didn’t fail the little exercise we were on, and it was her choice to continue at every stage, and she was lauded for it afterward. This is a heroism story.)
Water with occasional electrolytes ok?
Also did you all reprimand the
deadweight“hero” in private or not?
water and fiber and the need for both in a diet but also that they can be overdosed.
Rule of threes (survival) - Wikipedia https://share.google/Gc0HVUDXToxTKHD0A
Why is this a Google link?
Guess I wasn’t paying attention. I googled it and then tried to share the Wikipedia page. Guessing I must have clicked on some ai result instead of the actual page. Annoying, unintentional.
you can avoid sneezing and convert it into a cough by opening your mouth and forfully coughing, better than having snot fly all over.
If you can’t find a comfortable temperature when you’re sleeping under blankets, just stick one foot, and maybe part of your lower leg, out from under of the blankets. It acts like a radiator, and will release much of your excess heat.
A kid showed this to me at a childhood slumber party, and it’s been a useful tip ever since.
I’m not taking advice from an obvious night monster.
The real trick is to put the foot out, then pull it over the blanket so the foot’s surrounded by blanket.
From the view of creatures under the bed, all they see is the blanket.
Seriously, did night monsters write this post?!
But then the monsters might eat my foot!
Really though: I have a visceral aversion to having my feet exposed like that. If I’m lying down or even sitting on the couch, my feet must be covered. I could have no other blankets, except on my feet.
Yeah, you have a different issue.
Nah, it’s that I would love to be able to use it as a radiator like you suggested, but I have a sensory problem with exposing my feet like that. It’s really annoying actually, because I have some chronic conditions that make me more heat sensitive now, and even though I know it would help a ton, I still can’t stand the feeling of my feet being exposed.
So, same problem, but sadly can’t use your solution.
Idk how much it would help you, but if you can source some fairly common stuff and do some mild DIY, you can make a cold pack/pad that “freezes” at room temp and lasts a super long time. It isn’t cold, more like cool water that stays cool. You could even make socks out of it, if you want. They would be weird and squishy and probably trigger some sort of sensory thing, but you COULD :p
I have that problem with my butt. Can be 10 billion degrees and sweaty af and I have to have a blanket over my butt, even if I have shorts on.
I don’t have that problem any time except sleeping, though.
My cat would see that as an invitation to attack my foot.
Mine would snuggle up to it, because it’s warm.
Nice try, monster under the bed.
It’s not just that it acts like a radiator. Feet are also not very sensitive, so if they’re a little cold it won’t bother you. You could obviously get rid of a lot more heat by exposing your torso, but it will feel cold much sooner.
stick one foot[…] out
The Snorkel is god-tier advice.
One good thing about using a CPAP is that I can be fully covered by a blanket and still able to breathe. This occurred to me the other day when I left a bedroom window open during a snowstorm but was too lazy to get up and close it.
That’s noob tier. I’m a blanket junkie for some reason, so I have to compromise in any weather. The blanket could be covering any part of my body, from neck-to-toe to just the legs, to one vertical half, to part of the torso, to just a corner being on me.
Hiccups: repeat in your head “I don’t have hiccups, hiccups don’t exist”. Repeat these phrases a few times and the hiccups should be gone.
It has worked everytime since I learned this a couple of years ago.
In a financial negotiation, avoid saying a number first, even if it seems like you’re being rude, just say stuff like “what’s your budget” instead. This trick sounds really stupid but somehow it is extremely effective.
Absolutely. And in a more general sense, whenever negotiating with businessmen, tell yourself they’re nasty rotten pirates beforehand and throughout the process. Visualise them having peglegs, hooks, eyepatches and battered old sea hats. Do NOT give in, do NOT name that number before they do.
I prefer to think of it like a competitive game; you’re trying to win and you aren’t going to go easy on anyone, but you still treat your adversaries with as much empathy and respect as that allows.
The most annoying response when trying to get a price from someone
I took a community college class on business negotiations. I learned about BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement) and it’s been extremely helpful as a tool for negotiations. It’s setting a baseline and reduces any emotional toll.
Tl;Dr: define your BATNA before any negotiation. For example: say you know your salary industry standard is at $80k. You receive an offer for $70k, politely see if they have wiggle room for more, based on industry standard. If they come back with $75k, your plan is clear. In this negotiation, your BATNA is to walk away - no hard feelings.
When I sold my car, I set my BATNA to $9k, and put it for sale at $11k. The guy immediately tried to haggle and offered $10k. I shook his hand immediately and sold it.
It doesn’t have to be a hard number either. Like comparing benefits or perks.
I guess that could make sense if there is such a narrow range of possible outcomes and everyone has some clear objective idea of a baseline, but I’ve gotten freelance gigs where I would have been willing to do it for say $X, but was offered like $3X and was very happy to have kept my mouth shut and not talked numbers at all before that point. If I hadn’t I think I might not have gotten the job at all because the price being lower than the expectation would have made the client worried about the quality of the work, and even if I did get it that would have made them less satisfied with the deal.
As for your other comment, it’s not always true that combativeness will make people less satisfied with a transaction. I remember a particular situation where I was negotiating with another freelancer who was obviously also purposely avoiding saying a number, and I ended up caving when it got truly absurd and cited some past payments to use as a reference point. I was personally more satisfied with the deal because he did that, because it increased my respect for him; we were going to be working together and it was nice to feel that I could trust him to not be a pushover in general.
This is why I have doubts about Macklemore’s business acumen:
I went to the moped store, said “Fuck it”
And salesman’s like “What up, what’s your budget?”
And I’m like “Honestly, I don’t know nothing about mopeds”
I suppose at least he doesn’t immediately answer about the budget, but it still seems like a less than stellar negotiating technique.
That’s great until the other person is also doing it haha
A good negotiation is about making sure both parties feel satisfied by the end of the transaction!
If the other side was already combative, then that’s a negotiation you should walk away from.
Switch to linux
One weird trick! Terminal still scares me as well as installing from GitHub, but I have win11 required at work and mint at home and the speed and ease of use are like night and day
Switched to codeberg as well. Microsoft owns github
git.gay for the win!!
Switched to codeberg as well
I’m using gitlab-on-prem for now, until their slow code decay and creeping featurism destroys it completely. It’s only barely usable now because of the really dumb CI/runner changes, for example, but forgejo uses a yaml CI setup so that’s never happening.
Have a look at onedev.io. it’s local Git hosting but it includes cicd and even an issue tracker.
Its build/install fails best practice and ISO in so many places that I simply cannot.
But thank you for sending that over. I’ve never heard of that app, and I’m grateful for the consideration.
forgejo uses a yaml CI setup so that’s never happening.
Not a Yaml fan?
I don’t hate Yaml. I’ll admit, I also don’t use it for much. Yaml’s job in my CICD is to tell me where I left the bash scripts for each step.
Not a Yaml fan?
Heck no. I get paid to do a ansible in the daytime, and yaml and ansible are proof of society’s collapse; not just because they’re both so terrible, but because they are ever chosen despite the existence of so many alternatives.
Went to try three distros (Mint, Zorin, Ubuntu) all three either failed on boot (even just in the “try” state) or really really did not like my graphics card (Battlemage).
Could I go through and start troubleshooting, tweaking settings, making sure everything is configured correctly? Yes…. But after wasting a few hours just trying to get something to boot, “it just works” with Windows looks better all the time. I’m too old to want to jailbreak and tinker with shit.
All of these distros use an old ass kernel that might not support your hardware. Distros like Fedora and Arch (don’t use arch btw) use newer kernels and are more likely to support newer hardware.
Windows really hasn’t been the “it just works” option for a while. It’s just the option that you’ve gotten used to the bullshit to make it work. For example, the install process for every Linux distro I’ve tried is far simpler than the insane install process for Windows.
Like others have said though, you’re using the wrong distros for your hardware, without some manual work. I’d recommend CachyOS or Garuda Dragonized, as they’re made for gaming. They’re both Arch based, but they include everything you need out-of-the-box, so you really don’t need to put any effort into setting things up, only customizing it after.
One key thing with switching though is recognizing that you aren’t on Windows anymore. If you switch expecting it to be Windows then you’ll hate it. You need to go in with the same attitude you hade when you learned Windows (which you probably don’t remember). It’s something new. You have to accept that you have to learn how to use it.
Unfortunately Mint and Ubuntu (and maybe Zorin too, I don’t know about this one) stay on older kernels on purpose to maintain stability, and new hardware requires new kernels. Not only that, but mesa should also be ad updated as possible. I would normally not recommend this to someone who’s starting, but maybe give Manjaro a try. Maybe Bazzite is a better idea though, although I have never personally used it.
The reason why I don’t usually recommend Manjaro to people is that it’s bleeding edge, and that can cause problems. But in your case currently your hardware requires bleeding edge. Otherwise in a few months Ubuntu 26.04 should be released and I expect it will support your GPU better.
How is Battlemage. I’ve been thinking about getting a replacement for my Alchemist card. It’s mostly transcoding but it’s always nice to have backup hardware in these days.
i feel like in general there’s not usually much of a reason to upgrade after a single generation, regardless of the vendor, unless you have some very specific circumstances
yes, the b580 is good, but it’s not that good
I have a B580 and frankly it’s perfect for what I want. I run my games at 1440p and generally can get 60-90fps (depends if it supports XeSS 2). E33 was a decent benchmark and it passed just fine. I normally play slightly older games so it suits my needs.
As for transcoding, it can seriously knock it out. H.264 QSV with an RF of 22 on a 1080p stream averages 315fps. H.265 is a bit slower but still faster than realtime. It really is a transcoding powerhouse there.
The only software holding me back is Adobe Premeire Pro; I’ve looked at the Linux alternatives and one of them has a windows 3.11 interface (KDEVine I think).
I’m still open to suggestions.
If it’s only one software you can test if it works on wine.
You could try Davinci Resolve. It’s great, professional-grade software, runs natively on Linux, and has a very generous free version and an inexpensive, one-time purchase studio version.
Will it work with wine?
I personally just went with blender sequencer because it is free softare though quite basic. Nuke might be a paid option. It is node based tho.
I don’t see what drinking has to do with anything but I’ll try.
Red or white? /s
I really want to and was mostly Windows free for most of 2025 but I can’t get my new graphics card to perform well in either kubuntu or mint. Games that will run on ultra at over 100fps in Windows will get 60-80fps on medium-high settings on kubuntu. A tear runs down my cheek every time I see people say they got performance increases from switching. Even my old hardware performed slightly worse.
Linux performance improvements are most noticeable on lower end hardware, at the higher end performance VS windows is usually pretty random from what I’ve seen.
That kind of makes intuitive sense, to me.
Early in the life of a piece of hardware, there’s lot of attention from individuals and companies.
Late in the life of a piece of hardware, only individuals still care about it.
Corporate OSes add changes over time to make old hardware worse off, while open OSes add fixes to support it.
Yeah, Linux generally supports older hardware for much longer, but it’s not only that. Linux devs are fairly attentive about performance, clean code, consistent frameworks, etc, meanwhile Microsoft is out there making random OS components in React just because it’s a little easier. From what I’ve heard the culture there is to not care about how something is done as long as it works.
Ubuntu and its derivatives are very slow with updates because they’re more focussed on stability. Because of this, your graphics drivers are likely wildly out of date. And if you’re using an Nvidia GPU, you’re better off going with a distro that has the graphics drivers built in.
I recommended going for a distro based on Fedora like Bazzite or Nobara. Fedora only lags a couple weeks behind updates for testing and QA, unlike the months/years you get on Ubuntu. Plus the 2 distros I mentioned have built-in Nvidia graphics drivers
I’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT) specifically because I knew it was meant to work nicer with Linux than my 1080 did.
I might give some other distros a try when I’ve got the time. It’s a shame, I really liked kubuntu. (I know I can configure most distros to do the things I liked about kubuntu but I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to that kind of thing.)
Running a 9070xt on cachyOS, works great
If memory serves you basically need the kernel release and stuff from like, December 2025? Somebody can correct me if that’s inaccurate.
I just installed CachyOS based off this recommendation, and performance is absolutely terrible right after installing. Do I need to install any drivers or change settings? Everything I see says that the drivers are baked into the kernel. But I am getting <50FPS with extreme stutters running the same settings I had on all the other OS’es I listed.
Drivers should be baked into the kernel, yeah, assuming the latest version was installed and regular updates ran after install to make sure all is up to date
Only extra thing I installed was the command that gave me steam and all the related gaming stuff, was a single line with gaming meta in it iirc.
What were you trying to test and on what resolution?
The game I’ve been playing lately is the Oblivion remaster. I know the game is known to have subpar performance, but in Windows with ultra settings and RT set to low I get 130+ FPS outdoors and 180+ indoors, in kubuntu I was getting ~60-80 outdoors and ~100 indoors, CachyOS got me 80 indoors and 50 outdoors with extreme stuttering.
All running on my 3440x1440 144hz monitor.
I just installed Bazzite, we’ll see how that plays.
I’m running an AMD GPU (9070XT)
Yeah, the newer card likely doesn’t have drivers added to the kernel version that Kubuntu uses yet
If it helps, Bazzite and Nobara have options to install with KDE Plasma included
