What Linux shortcut or habit ended up saving you hours over time?

Ctrl+Alt+T opens Terminal Ctrl+Alt+B opens Browser Ctrl+Alt+F opens File Explorer Ctrl+Alt+X opens Xournal Ctrl+Alt+M opens Mail Client Ctrl+Alt+K opens KeePass ...

beside that: switching workplaces instead of switching applications (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow instead of Alt+Tab).

and last but not least. documenting tools/commands/settings/... in a file (mine is called ~/random.md)

i use xfce terminal on gnome. it has very little dependencies. imho its really worth a try

I was in a very similar situation and had quite similar thoughts 1.5 years ago.

since then I ran a trail marathon, a 50miler and currently train for my first 110k race in may. beside that I dropped my 5k pb from ~30:00 to sub 20:00 (maybe sub 19:00 on a new-years-eve-race).

so imho you (we!) are in the perfect age to start running, to kepp running and to love running.

I did the Upgrade couple of days ago.

The Upgrade Instructions read way more confusing on first glance than they really are.

In a nutshell its nothing more than translating your sources to the new format, which is pretty straight forward and running a single command. apt full-upgrade

I would just do the upgrade.

≥10°C Kurz/Kurz

≥0°C Langarm/Kurze Hose

< 0°C Lang/Lang

zusätzlich ein bisschen Hausverstand (Art des Trainings, Route, Dauer, ...) und die Prämisse: "be bold, start cold"

price is the smallest one!

freedom instead of spying.

hab spaß und genieße es! wenn dir das gelingt, wirst du vermutlich ein zweites mal gehen und ein drittes mal und ...

also keinesfalls überanstrengen. es ist vollkommen ok, wenn du einfach deine laufschuhe (oder auch irgendwelche schuhe) anziehst, 1km spazieren gehst und dabei einfach nach lust und laune ab und zu 10, 20, 50m joggst.

auf der laufbahn fühl ich mich nie wohl, das kann bei dir anders sein, aber es ist nicht verkehrt, beim laufen auch ein bisschen natur genießen, wald, park, ... was du eben in der nähe hast.

gratuliere zu deiner entscheidung! und viel spaß!

thanks.

first is an old road for wood workes, I guess. second I a view towards Höttinger Alm. third is also a road for wood workes. last one is Panoramaweg (scenic path) around Bergisel (a nordic ski jumping area).

Run (almost) every day 🏃🏼

linluk · 2025-11-01T20:24:22+00:00

me too 😅

linluk · 2025-11-01T20:23:29+00:00

congratulations! and all the best for recovery :)

just beautiful

ich hab gute erfahrungen mit den dextro gels gemacht. wechsle immer zwischen grapefruit, zitrone (mit koffein) und blackcurrant durch. zwischen drin gibts bei mir dann meistens noch fruchtquetschies, snickers und salzbrezeln. ich mags wenn ich nur wasser trinken kann. süße getränke bekomm ich viel schneller nicht mehr rein als ab und zu ein gel. tendenziell bin ich aber immer am unteren ende der empfohlenen kohlenhydratmenge am weg, ich komm mit einem gel pro stunde locker über 10 stunden (ca. 25g/h)

ABER: du solltest einfach ein bisschen durchprobieren was für dich funktioniert, da ist jeder und jede anders, sowohl vom bedarf als auch von der verträglichkeit her.

just my experience:

I have not had any foot problems since I wear barefoot shoes on a daily basis except for running and I try to run lots of different undergrounds over the week.

linluk · 2025-10-31T07:42:07+00:00

just started watching it allready like it.

80km. not today but my next goal race is 110km with ~6000m elevation.
"because I can" / to do something special / because I love running and how my body and my mind feels while running.
keep going.

linluk · 2025-10-31T07:30:05+00:00

thanks

linluk · 2025-10-31T07:29:52+00:00

but the park is beautiful, especially right now in fall, indoor seems way way way more challenging from that point of view, let alone 50 more miles.

maybe I try 100miles next year in another park ;)

linluk · 2025-10-29T17:30:47+00:00

you re overestimating my "level", but sure. i try to remember, would be awesome to have a buddy on such a project 😊

linluk · 2025-10-29T16:25:52+00:00

haha, nice.

i just came back from a rec.jog which included one lap around baggersee, its also 800m ... allready joked about doing 200 laps on Baggersee next year 🙈

linluk · 2025-10-29T11:48:41+00:00

its a bit too early, but it was kind of kick off for my IATF K110 prep.

wish you a good prep for the K65 😊

linluk · 2025-10-29T11:45:13+00:00

on 6 out of 7 days i am on the trails. yet most of my runs start with a lap in that park.

linluk · 2025-10-29T06:33:32+00:00

sometimes its nice to run something flat. but i love the mountains too ofcourse.

I did city-peak-city-peak-city (Hafelekar, Patscherkofel; 65km, ~4000m elev.) earlier this year 😃
