I installed Pop_OS on the desktop of my wife and she loves it

After support for Windows 10 was discontinued and with all the problems in win11, we decided to change to Linux on my wife's gaming / office PC.

I choose pop_os because she is somewhat dependand on .deb file, since our tax software has only a .deb version available - at least there is some linux version - and I wanted a smooth, reliable operating system with great gaming support and be easy to use.

And well, what should I say? It just worked. flawlessly. My wife is very satisfied especially with older game support, we managed to get Beach Life to work almost out of the box, I remember to fiddle around to even get it to work on win10 and on win11 it didn't work.

After some days, we installed KDE as DE since she wanted to have more design options and one of the main reasons was she was not able to put desktop icons freely around (something she really "depends" on), so well, I gave her options and installed some "cat themed" stuff. (see meme :) ) she absolutely loves it.

Will all these options and just small changes like setting a cat cursor, Linux is really a people pleaser.

so thanks pop_os team for your great work.

Next step - I will have to install it on the pc of my 70 year old mom, let's see how this will go :D

Hello CachyOS community *wave

I recently switched to CachyOS from Nobara because I was curious about an Arch Distro

So far, I really like the Distro and won't go back to Nobara (never thought I would say that)

If someone is interested in the style

Icons: Slot-Dark-Icons
Layout Style: Layan
Everything else: Built in Plasma things

have fun all

Hormonal issues

Greetings

I'm seeking the advice and wisdom of older women out there, best some that already made similar experiences.

My wife (41) has hormon problems, some perimenopause stuff I think. It started last year and it feels like walking on eggs sometimes. Small things can drive her mad really fast now and she shuts down. She's very emotional, much more so than before.

She gets irritated easily and can come across as very cold at times. That's okay, I don't take it personally, that's the hormones. She get's treatment now but doesn't seem to work yet. Maybe it takes some time, that's what doctors said, hormone things take quite some time.

She is very tired the whole time due to lack of sleep. I have a lot more to take care of than I used to, especially around the house. I work full time, between 42 - 45 hours a week. she works part time and took more around the house but not now. In the past it was easier.

Sometimes in the moment i feel more like a nurse than her wife and I feel guilty for thinking that. I should take care of her, I mean it's not an issue of love. But right now, it feels little bit overwhelming.

I take care of the animals, take care of the house, I cook, laundry, lawn mowing and garden maintenance. All stuff that we shared in the past but now she cannot do because of this illness and I understand that she can't.

I help where I can, I mean she is my wife and I love her. Why I am so weak? Now she needs me but I feel more powerless and more tired every day. I think I need to offer more support somehow

When does it stop to be that way? I hope those hormone problems will not stay that way..

What can I do now? any advice?
