  • It took me 4 different urologists to properly diagnose this. I had it for YEARS. Every single time it happened I thought I was going to die. The only thing I could do was lay down on a hard flat surface (usually the floor wherever I happened to be at that time) and just let it pass with lots of heavy breathing and silent crying. I basically was immobile, couldn’t even move without getting super light headed and felt like passing out.

    Once I finally found a dr that properly diagnosed it, he taught me the open book trick and MY GOD what a difference. He is also the same one that did the surgery, and it’s been many years now without an instance. Life changing.

    Torsion is seriously no joke.



  • Also recommend Tumbleweed. I’ve distro hopped for many years, and currently am using Tumbleweed and have no plans of leaving soon. It really is the best I’ve ever used.

    I wouldn’t recommend doing a Hyperland setup right away on first time ever using linux. Just run with KDE or Gnome for a while until you’re comfy then you can try Hyperland. The reason I say this is check this page:

    https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Must-have/

    “Must Have
    This page documents software that is critical / very important to have running for a smooth Wayland / Hyprland experience.
    DEs like KDE / Gnome will do this automatically, Hyprland will not (because you might want to use something else)
    A notification daemon
    Starting method: most likely manual (exec-once)
    Many apps (e.g. Discord) may freeze without one running.”

    So you have to do a LOT more setup and configs to get Hyperland up and running. Just use KDE lol. Tumbleweed rocks with Plasma.
