    As a man myself, I fully agree. It's also exhausting as an empathetic man to deal with this pervasive pseudo masculine enculturation.

    I'm kind of curious, I've tried Seeds over and over, but it's unlistenable to me. Especially compared again Dear Science or Desperate. What is it you like about that album? I really want to like it because it's probably the last of what we'll get from them. Got any tips on appreciating it?

    I use jellyfin to host everything; movies, shows, books. It can tag matadata and id most books fairly well. But do not use it's built in reader. I don't know about comics though. I can then easily download whatever book to any device connected to the jellyfin server and use local software to read it.

    I usually just use librera reader as it's open source and highly customizable. But it does have it's glitches.

    Wanted to fully experience life!

    Grew up gaming. Stopped gaming for twenty years. Now I game again. I've had a great time. Climbed mountains. Traveled. All manner of relationships. Built a nice career. Now I find I can enjoy games without that, I'm wasting my life feeling.

    All humans "waste" time. It's odd to say reading is better than games. Or movies are better than TV. They're all just mediums to convey stories. And really, there aren't many original stories, just the same ones told over and over in different ways.

    At least with games, you are actively participating rather than passively consuming. And yes I do read lots of complicated books, and watch fine cinema, and great television.

    But I also garden, birding, botany, camp, etc.

    All of these recommendations are great. I'm always pleased to see so many cinemaphiles. I like lists, and have found many of my favorites from them.

    Ebert's Great Movies List is perfect.

    I can confirm and I do use this feature of jellyfin. It works great. The reader is unusable. I use Librera for reading. It's great, free, and open source.

    So my flow is biblio, mam, library Genesis, Anna's. Then to jellyfin folder that it reads automatically. Then I can download that to any device connected to the jellyfin server. Local is easy, abroad through tailscale.

    I took a long break from gaming (~15 years). Then when I came back too it I found all these great games that had came and went. So I started parsing through many of the most critically acclaimed games. I hit Arkane, and Dishonored was so incredible (and I got Prey with them in a flash steam sale for a few bucks), I thought I'd give it a try.

    I will say it's probably one of the best games I've played in my most recent gaming phase. It is a super solid sci-fi horror where you can engage. I do not like run and hide games, so this one fulfilled my criteria. The story is also classic sci-fi greatness.

    It's also one of the few games I've got an itch to play again.

    It is a big commitment. I did not dilly-dally and am a veteran gamer. It took me 90 hours to finish a moderate play through. It's worth it but it did start to drag at the end. And that's just one ending.

    Jellyfin is great but has some issues that can make it annoying. The 3rd party clients are often better than the normal interface. The server is easy to set up. So I can recommend all of it.

    Honestly though, just because it isn't updated doesn't mean it is not great. I always revert to Clementine myself. Still use it daily and love it. There is an updated variant called strawberry which is updated and works great, but the remote doesn't work.

    I'm being totally honest when I say, This Old House. It's always positive, inclusive, thoughtful. I've learned so much from so many different trades. They restore neglected structures and highlight local businesses and people. They underscore the importance of history and community. That encourage the underserved and downtrodden to use their hands and minds for positive community building.

    There are 45 seasons and it's still going. I've tried to put it on just to have in the background and always end up riveted and engrossed. I cannot recommend it enough

    I don't think that's true. From XDA forums, you can choose to disable the app or completely remove it. I have completely destroyed the system from uninstalling critical apps. I have had to do a complete factory reset due to uninstalling core apps. No root whatsoever.

    Just a tip, you can debloat your galaxy without rooting it with adb tools. You can remove any apps you want this way fairly easily.

    Not a long term solution, and all the other comments are great options for replacement. Until then, you can remove almost anything you want until you're ready to switch.

    I had a beelink ser5, and without giving you the bench marks, I can tell you that many games that were unplayable on cinnamon or kde, did work in openbox. I would log out and back into that DE just to play games.

    Just my observation. I have upgraded my PC so I haven't needed to repeat that with my new one.

    Having tried many, I found that the desktop environments matter more than the actual OS, especially on older machines.

    Going for something really light, like openbox, lxde, or xfce, caused less frame rate drop and stuttering. At least on my lower powered mini pc.
