Wow I love your arrow keys, that’s brilliant

Yes sorry I was just counting paid work time. We have half an hour lunch break but it’s not included in the work hours. I assume that’s normal. E.g you are physically at work 8.5 hours with 30min unpaid lunch break in the middle, so total 8 “work hours”

I get 20 minutes break per day, but it’s not enough.

I set a timer for everything I do. I drink about 3 instant coffee per day and it’s roughly 3 minutes to make each coffee from leaving my desk, going to kitchen and returning. So that’s 10min already

Toilet time also counts as break time, and I usually need longer than 10min throughout the day.

Chatting to co-workers about personal life also break time and throughout the day with small conversations that’s easily 20min

The boss has never spoken to be about some days I record 1 hour break time… But I used to record toilet time separately and they said that’s too personal for time logging, and I should be recording toilet time as break time.

So they are watching, and I try reduce things that count as break time. Or work an extra 15min if I spent too long in toilet etc

Oh also didn’t mention lunch break because it’s not “on the clock” anyway. So you are physically present at work 8.5 hours but with 30min lunch. I assume that’s standard set up (lunch is unpaid time)

In an 8 hour day, I’d say probably 7 hours

The other hour probably bathroom trips, coffee/water breaks, occasional quick chats with coworkers throughout the day

I can’t hit a full 8 hours actual work unless I do a 9 hour day.

Sometimes I have a shorter lunch break or try not to poop until I get home lol, so I can hit 8 hours quicker

No, already burnt out from reinstalling different distros. I try Linux desktop every couple of years and it’s always the same frustrations. I’ll give it another go next year

I just found every little thing so hard in Linux.

Screens, scaling, nvidia drivers, games… Even spent an hour on gnome trying to get my desktop background image to fill the whole screen instead of repeating to fill the space. Solution ended up being download an image editor and resize the image to be the exact same size as my screen resolution. Tried KDE and kept hitting 100% CPU bug

In the end I just wanted a pc that worked, so went back to Windows with WSL.

Seems a perfect combo. Do my dev in WSL, and the desktop just works.

However I’m getting increasingly frustrated at every UI change Microsoft make… Which is what made me try Linux in the first place. If Microsoft Win7 and early 10 was great, I wish they’d stop touching UI and just improve under the hood

I heard of Beehaw first but I got rejected twice when trying to make an account, so I tried World next and here I am.

Also don’t understand how things work, so wasn’t really sure what lemmy.ml was but I read it didn’t matter where you created an account so I just stuck with World 🤷
