arch btw with gnome, it’s the setup that just works for me :)

also, these socks are so cozy. i never had worn any sort of undergarments to keep my legs warm but these are actually game changing. probably a stupid question but is there a something like this that men traditionally wear that i’ve been missing out on? my legs have been freezing for as long as i can remember

    Long Johns or Under Armor calls them leggings or base layer pants now.

    I’ve worn them when working outside all day in the winter and they’ve been a big hit for girlfriends’ Christmas presents in the past. If you tend to get cold, there the gift you never knew you needed.

    They come in a variety of insulation levels, so you can get ones to take the chill off or to get nice and toasty.

        Glad I could help! I was browsing All and just clicked the post to see the huge monitor, then saw your question.

        I’m still not quite sure what kind of comm this is, but I love your giant monitor, and I’m happy you’ll be properly insulated now! 😅

        Also, if you have not tried actual wool socks yet, check those out too. I find wool has the amazing ability to hold in your warmth, but it breathes the right amount that you never got too hot and start to get sweaty. I’ve switched to wool blankets in the winter for my bed too. A nice percale sheet and then 2 milsurp type wool blankets is lighter than my old comforter, but it feels just as warm and isn’t too heavy or hot that I can’t get out of bed in the morning.
