kkaranth··on Generating random points inside a sphere
Indeed, I've used randn() wherever a normally distributed random number is needed. This is computed using the Box-Muller method.

kkaranth··on Pop_OS 18.04: the state of the art in GNU/Linux on desktop
The slowness was very apparent for me too. I used to keep restarting the shell (Alt F2, then r) to get it back to normal speeds(this doesn't close the running applications).

In Wayland, they removed this shortcut. I've since switched to KDE.
