What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work? (lemmy.world)

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?

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.
