I have another solution that won't work for everyone. As I mentioned, I cannot scream... But I can hum. So, when I am having a sleep paralysis episode, I start humming as loud and as long as I can, which admittedly isn't much. However, it is enough to wake up my husband. My husband now shakes me awake anytime I hum in bed (which I asked him to do).

This solution works beautifully for me, and I no longer fear sleep paralysis. But, not everybody else someone else in bed with them.

Edit: wanted to add that before I developed this solution, I used to try to rock back and forth from side to side like a turtle flipping over. Emphasis on the word "try." Like your fingers and toes solution, this would eventually work. However, it took persistence and usually the "sleep paralysis demons" would be coming towards me slowly the entire time.

Interestingly, now that I can get out of the paralysis more quickly (with my husband's assistance), I have found that my "demons" (which now often look like normal people) will full on sprint towards me and lunge at me. I'm getting used to this, though, and I wonder what my brain will think of next to try to horrify me.

Kinda looks like Darren is about to ink.

Gnome and KDE (The current version is also called Plasma.) are generally touted as being the most touchscreen friendly desktop environments, so go for a distro that has one of them as an official flavor. You'll wanna keep your physical keyboard around through the install process until you get the onscreen keyboard set up the way you want. (The touchscreen is not going to work during the UEFI/bootloader stage, so the physical keyboard is not just a suggestion but a requirement.)

Right-click through touchscreen being set up out-of-the-box, I have only seen in Gnome. Gnome also has the onscreen keyboard pre-installed. The whole Gnome layout works well with touchscreens. It is a bit different from Windows, though.

One downside to Gnome is that for some reason, the screen scaling is limited to 100% or 200%. This can be annoying, since 1x scaling frequently makes the buttons too small for a touchscreen, but 2x is way too huge. You can install "gnome tweaks" to get 150%, if it even works properly on your distro. If you want 120% or some other number, then you're outta luck. Increasing the text size can help, but then the app labels in the app drawer get cut off. This all seems like a huge oversight to me, personally. Even Windows allows custom scaling percentages.

I have a touchscreen device myself (1st Gen Surface Go), and I've found Gnome to be the best suited to touchscreens. However, I personally can't stand it. I previously tried KDE but left due to lack of right-click support. I'm planning on going back and just living without it.

Edit: adding this for posterity's sake: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed's KDE version does support right click through touchscreen out of the box! And Firefox touch scroll as well! So far, it has been everything I've wanted for my Microsoft Surface Go. It's a weak device, but OpenSUSE KDE is very snappy on it as well! @Tahl_eN@lemmy.world

Sir, a 17th Zorin OS has hit the download page.

As a beneficiary of anal, I disagree.

Thanks. I was hoping for an actual set in like a cardboard box.

Every prison jumpsuit I've seen had a collar, but I like where you're going with this.

I play at 900p60. Turn literally everything to low or off except textures at medium. Enable the AMD upscaling to the highest quality setting (forget what it's called). Be sure to turn off Antialiasing (don't really need it at high resolutions) and God rays. Turn off all optional things but those two are the most important. Also, if BG3 is installed to an SD card, then enable slow HDD mode.

It still stutters a little when transitioning to cut scenes, but I believe that exists in all PC versions.

Edit: And I have made it (what I think is) mostly through Act 2. I've also hosted an online session with my friend (who also plays on Steam Deck using my settings) and my husband (gaming laptop) with no issues.
