I deal with the same thing. I had written for several small publications, and one way I overcame my disconnect from emotion was just by stream of conscious describe things. The way I'm subconsciously describing it tends to reveal my feelings for it. Directly, i really feel nothing for it but under the layers I do have a sense of emotion for it.

Gentoo gaming and music production rig working through mostly tty with dwm as a graphical display. I typically stay on tty until I want to play a game, use modern web, or record a song. Otherwise tty with Links browser.

I use a t480 for my carry laptop with Gentoo. It's been solid. Replaced both batteries pretty easily, replaced thermal paste, and it's good to go again. I paid about 160 got it. I had a t460 as well, but gave that to my gf. Either of those were good and not too expensive for a semi modern computer for general usage.

I used Ubuntu, then Arch, and now Gentoo. Been about 2 years with most of my time on Arch. Gentoo is my favorite though. Just does what I want, how I want.

Well, I knew my brother was getting a new phone soon anyways so getting notified his device changed wasn't a surprise. Otherwise, getting notified hia device changed without that knowledge may have triggered me to contact him elsewhere to ask if he did. Signal is mostly going to be conversations between close/trusted individuals. It doesn't tell you what they changed to, the message basically tells you that if this person didn't legitimately change devices then it might be a bad actor.

I like st and kitty depending on the task

I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene's main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.

Calyx is amazing for me, I love it. BUT android auto doesn't work on it, which is lame. I've learned to deal with it and use waze instead.

For a case that comes included with the system I can't complain. I put a cloth under the deck and the US charger fits alright. I'll maybe get a bigger case someday, but this one is prettu good for me not having to go get another one. The switch didn't come with a case, so it wad just naked until I found a decent one.

I knew my brother got a new phone because signal told me their usual device had changed.

No, I got a pixel 7 and put calyx on it. Better than any samsung I've had. I don't plan on going back to a closed system ever again.
