I have been experimenting a ton with picks in the last few months. I bought three Bluechips, an assorted pack of TUSQ picks, and Taylor's "Darktone series" pick tin.

My favorites are, in order:

0. Dunlop Tortex. Old reliable. Just feels like home.

1. TUSQ picks. They are the most resonant picks I have ever used; they make month old strings sound like a fresh set. They also come in three different sound profiles, bass-heavy, treble heavy, and "warm" i.e. mids heavy. The differences are noticeable, and it feels like having an analog way to EQ my guitar. For the money they are the best

2. Taylor Thermex Pro from the Darktone series pick tin. It is the pick that gets closest to the sound of a fingernail

3. Bluechip - fancy but kinda underwhelming. They are definitely great picks but I'm not feeling the hype after using them for three months

tldraw.com is great

It's improved by leaps and bounds in the last few years! Definitely worth a second look imo

I'm using Mullvad on Silverblue right now, through NetworkManager. Just had to import the wireguard config file they provide. No extra app/package needed!

I find the GNOME workflow very intuitive and have grown really accustomed to it over the years. It's minimal and gets out of the way, while at the same time everything I need is accessible on one keypress through the activities overview.

I don't feel at home on any other desktop environment. Even on Ubuntu I revert everything to stock GNOME.

I've been having these kind of issues with the Pixels since the Pixel 1. At this point, I just don't recommend a Pixel device to anyone.
