The "correct" climate is one that isn't changing so fast that we'll need to globally rethink the logistics of food production. It's one that does not include being in the middle of an extinction event.
Use NixOS... it's so strong already that I'm ecstatic to see where it will be in 5 years or so.
I have 15+ years experience with Linux and many DEs, and while there's some value to some of the criticisms thrown around here, I strongly disagree with the premise that MacOS and Windows are superior.
I can instantly switch between various environments i.e. i3 with some xcfe4 packages, GNOME 3, and MATE. I can roll back to old versions of my system effortlessly and I never worry about breaking on updates, which are as easy as adding some further declarative configuration. I can pull in a few files from version control and have a new identical system running on another machine in about 15 minutes. Installing practically any development tooling, or even a new filesystem, is a ~2 minute endeavor for me.
So are you all really so sure that your systems are superior to mine?
I've used different Linux DEs for over 15 years now and only recently started using GNOME 3... it's opinionated but I find it to be extremely polished.
Absolutely, changing your body composition definitely will.
With consistency and the right approach you really can feel a sort of compounding effect on your body's hormonal output. It's important to have some intuition around nutrition, human physiology, and the necessity of rest also. The more muscle mass you have the easier it is to get lean quickly because your body just has more capacity to expend energy.
Do not listen to the lies on this website that movement and exercise are not an important part of the equation, but keep in mind that getting injured will derail you the most and should be avoided at all cost. Nutrition is easy if you consume a variety of natural foods (nothing out of a package or can) and get enough protein, which is possible also for vegetarians and vegans and I'd suggest it.
If you are fairly obese I would suggest by starting with regular short walks, as many as you can manage in a day, while eating as much as you need, as long as the ratio of calories from protein compared to those from carbs and fat is reasonable.
Unrefined foods have qualities that make you slow down on eating. Fiber is one of these, which honey doesn't have, but I'd imagine there might be something else in there... all I know is that moderately-active people can eat as much fruit as they want alongside whatever their protein source is.
