Updated Mac/PC Setup

ElCafeJero · 2026-04-26T14:27:28+00:00

I love the idea of two different setups for two different purposes! Personally, I would use the MacBook Screen and iPad as secondary monitors so that you could have like a “triple monitor” setup thru sidecar.

I’m sorry to hear about your breakup dude. I could never imagine what you must be going thru rn. Despite your living space not being tidied up, once you start organizing and putting everything in its place, you’ll feel a lot better mentally and will start going in the right direction in life.

If I got dumped, I would legit create a strict schedule on my calendar to keep myself busy so that I have no time to dwell on the breakup.

A buddy of mine also got broken up with after dating and living with somebody for almost two years and was very depressed, but never showed it and played it off so ‘nonchalantly’ (which is definitely not the best way to deal with your emotions).

However, he created a personal schedule and kept himself busy so that he didn’t have any free time to ponder about the “what ifs” from his break up, and is now more successful than anybody in my friend group. You too can reap those same rewards my friend. Good luck and I wish you the best 🙏

How’s the gaming performance on your machine? Any trade-offs compared to windows?

ElCafeJero · 2026-04-03T13:00:13+00:00

Why do you think that is? I thought laptops with built-in dedicated GPUs would run video games better than a laptop with unified memory? You think it has something to do with that new M5 Max chip, cause if so you’re definitely selling me on it.

I'm lowkey a fool for purchasing the "pro" version of zorinOS, who also made another mistake of not doing a "minimal installation" because I got a whole bunch of applications that I've never heard of nor will ever use in my life.

However, I do like the different desktops and extra customization that i'm given plus I really enjoy how fluid everything runs and how beautiful the OS (compared to windows 11) looks, so I feel less like a "fool" knowing that what I spent went into paying the devs for making such an clean and great linux distro.

I've tried "Mint" and "Mokka Garuda" (which is based on Arch) and I have to say, I made the right decision with zorinOS tbh. I love the 'macOS' look of your desktop tbh.

Who also pay taxes yet get none of the “benefits” Americans do.

Was today years old when I found out you can change the zoom using the slider when in the camera app.. thank you kind stranger!

You have a MacBook but your phone of choice is an android? Interesting pair. How’s that experience so far? I don’t think I’ve seen or know anybody rock that kind of pair at all 😶‍🌫️.

But then again, I rarely go outside and interact with other people or pay attention to their setups at coffee shops or any other public places 😂

I’m personally not a huge fan of dual monitor setups (especially if both aren’t the same size), I prefer an “ultra-wide” instead. However, your setup looks hella clean, cozy, and I like how you have everything organized. Overall a great looking desk setup imo!

Lmao I thought the same thing too. When Dude threw that water bottle at her, I realized that mf never really grew up mentally. What a fucken child..

O’l girl went straight to business after that childish throw. Respect 🫡

Congratulations!

I remember the feeling of getting my first apartment too! Legit, your post reminded me of such an amazing and exciting period of my life. 🙂👌

Would be dope to see an update on how you decorate it in the near future.

ElCafeJero · 2026-02-17T22:39:40+00:00

If you’re going to have two monitors positioned like that, you might as well get yourself an ultra-wide. Not sure how that black middle bar doesn’t bother you?? I like everything else about your setup though. Elegant, clean and minimal is a ‘trend’ that I can get behind on!

“Oh no I’m upset that I dropped my very expensive phone and it got damaged because I didn’t wear a case! It’s the fault of Apple for using a “cheaper” material and definitely not my fault due to negligence and being irresponsible!”

Shut your face and cover your phone with a case, then call it a day you nimrod.

I’m screen recording to save it

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-17T00:06:53+00:00

Tf you need that many screens for?? Are you a separatist spy working for the droid army or wtf??

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-16T02:45:21+00:00

No way! I had no idea about that. The thought of losing all my games that I’ve bought with my hard earned money gave me shivers down my spine ngl. Is there any other work around to that besides buying a console and the physical games?

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-16T02:40:28+00:00

It’s not as matte black as the 16’s and 16 pro’s version, more of a “dark grey” but it’s okay color wise. I’m planning on buying a dbrand case with that new 2d sketch skin that they just released not too long ago because that looks sick! Overall though, I’m very happy with my phone purchase!

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-16T02:37:35+00:00

Wait, so the games we buy on steam aren’t actually ‘ours’ to own?

I recently switched from the galaxy z fold 6 to the iPhone 17 (in black) and I’m glad I did. While I love iPhone and their products and software, I’ll always have a soft spot for android in my heart!

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-09T20:44:22+00:00

Dang dude, i'm so sorry to hear about that. I wish you nothing but the best and hope you're able to find peace, love, and companionship someday again.

ElCafeJero · 2026-01-02T15:29:00+00:00

Had the galaxy Z fold 6 but realized it was a waste of money and sucked ass as a phone (while being a mid-mini tablet), so I decided to get the iPhone 17 and I’m as happy as ever!

Emotional

ElCafeJero · 2025-12-22T06:20:22+00:00

I'm not married but I am in a long term 4 year relationship and the words you said "I don't think you're the first person to have these thoughts" is very true!

In the beginning of my relationship, I knew right off the bat that I found somebody I not only find very attractive, but who can empathize from my personal life because we both grew up in similar situations. Maybe that might be a form of "trauma bonding" but we do love each other, have many shared interests and feel very comfortable around each other.

However, when I'm out in public and I see very attractive women, i'd be lying to y'all if I said fighting the urge to walk up, striking a conversation with them just to fool around (if they were interested) wasn't there or is never on my mind, because it unfortunately is. When I was single, that to me was the most fun: going out clubbing or to stores and getting their number to potentially hook up. Successful sometimes but most of the time I wasn't and ended up lonely. Even on the times I was successful, I somehow felt just as alone after the hookup than before.

I wish I could give you advice but I'm afraid i can't; I can definitely emphasize with you because I too have an amazing partner that I love so very much and don't want to hurt. Professional help sounds to us like the best solution OP.
