denast,

There is no way to “remember” it per-say, you could only somehow train it to be a subconscious habit, these transfer into dreams. Not sure how I did it with mine, I had developed it in childhood, but I do use this trick even in irl when I’m scared, as a reality check.

denast,

Reality check I developed is rolling eyes far up. If you close your eyelids and then roll the eyes, you can notice how it lifts them (the eyelids) up a little.

While in REM and actually seeing dreams, you retain eye control, so by rolling your eyes you open them up and effectively wake up.

This allows me to escape most nightmares, good stuff

denast,

Don’t worry, most worldwide fans didn’t either. Outside of first world countries few can afford such a hobby so a big chunk of the community are just lore enjoyers

denast,

Yeah, that’s the thing. Two categories of users can properly enjoy Linux (in my opinion):

  • Technically advanced users who can figure out a lot on their own
  • Technically illiterate users (“Show me where to click to get to Facebook”)

While average users are the ones to suffer. They are technically picky enough to require more advanced features than “click to open Google”, but not nerdy enough to spend hours reading stack overflow to make something they need work.

Most average users will be actively displeased that their settings menu is now different and confusing, office tools have slightly different UI, and some specialized software is missing.

Average user does not spend hours learning GIMP, they blame Linux for not having Photoshop and quit. Sad but true

denast,

I’ve already given a similar answer somewhere in this thread, but my point is, yes, it works well for advanced users (stack overflow enjoyers) and total beginners (Where do I click to get to Facebook?), while average users are in the middle, and are simultaneously require more features than beginners, but do not have the means to solve them.

denast,

Am I the only one who never promotes Linux?

I’m currently holding an opinion that everyone who can enjoy Linux will eventually try it on their own.

I think, despite what many people say, an average user still has a very rough time using it, and in my opinion you need some level of nerdiness in order to overcome adaptation pains, and such people already use internet in a nerdy way and will try out Linux on their own eventually.

denast,
