The Mindful Desktop + An Openbox VM (fd93.me)

Hey all, I wrote this article with some practical advice on how to resist the attention economy (think notifications, shorts, ads, etc) by setting up a desktop for mindful engagement.

It also includes a VirtualBox VM with a lightweight sample environment so you can try it out and see what I mean in the article.

Hope this is helpful! :)

I find the article interesting, the notifications can be the most annoying, while working I find it better not to have app like discord open. As for the desktop environment I went with Gnome, less to configure and I can get things done pretty quick.
