Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn’t fully grasp that (duh) it’s open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy! :)

To the best of my knowledge, this isn’t something you can do at the system level. Individual apps can specify where they output, but not the system. You can control the volume of individual, active applications (i don’t know if it’s persistent). I imagine it would be possible to add that capability, but it would be via a new app or extension.

It’s definitely a risky move, for the reasons you already called out. But sane? Yeah, probably. I’ve known a few people over the years that have done similar moves: dropping out of high-pay/prestige positions due to the stresses and general unhappiness. They’ve almost always ended up generally happier for the change. Just don’t be afraid to acknowledge if the move isn’t working. Don’t talk yourself into staying in a bad situation because you don’t want to admit that the move isn’t working.

(but also: drop an update in a few weeks. I’m now curious to see how this goes for you.)

Based on what I’ve seen over the last few years, it’s the over-16s that should probably be banned from social media.

As someone on Mastodon wisely pointed out: There aren’t enough Linux gamers to invest resources in supporting them properly, but there are enough using it to cheat to actively block them?
