If you are a minimalist, you probably know that less is more. Less clutter, less stress, and less waste — but do you know what else is less? Linux.

I’ve been told that drinking too much water can lead to hyponatremia, a condition where the levels of sodium in the blood are too low. And while coffee may have some health benefits, drinking too much of it can lead to jitteriness, anxiety, and even insomnia. ...
