Hate pro, but more than that - hate Snap! Switched to Mint and couldn’t be happier, it was seamless. I already only use none of Ubuntu defaults, so switching to mint and copying my dotfiles was almost as if I didn’t even do anything. On my other machine, I just uninstalled Snap, which is close, but I feel like switching to Mint entirely would be even better. I just can’t bring myself to backup everything to do a fresh install.

Wow, not even a bar/swaybar/waybar. That’s radical, alright.

And even if you can - is it worth it? I mean - do I care and should I care? Is the point of music detecting every detail of the recording or can I appreciate it without paying that much attention to production? For instance, I find it much more convenient to use Bluetooth headphones as it allows me to move around the house. Flac immediately stops being relevant, as Bluetooth codec is really bad compared to almost any codec. I recently tried ldac codec on my headphones - couldn’t really tell the difference. Mp3 128kbps is just fine for me. Almost any situation. I care about musical content much more than production details. Other people might care more. I don’t.

Yeah, but notepad++ was recently hacked and been compromised. An unfortunate timing.

BTW, Tools for Humanity is another Sam Altman startup, that also has World Coin crypto currency and wants to scan human irises for human verification. Razer was one of the first endorsers. The whole thing walks like a rugpull scam and quacks like a rugpull scam.

You can try Niri - it is a tiling, scrollable wm, a lot easier to use than i3, I’d say half way between i3 and a full de.

I’d say too fucking late. Those who have had problems have already left. And the rest can’t, for whatever reason. So walking back won’t bring those who left back. Or even if some do come back, they’ll leave on the first sign of shenanigans, cause now they know they have a choice and that it is doable.

This post only mentions that the installer works, but does the actual application work? Don’t get me wrong, the installer working is still progress.

I recently set up a Navidrome/Lidarr setup and I’m beyond thrilled. Works great. I also recommend Symfonium app on android, it’s paid, but it’s worth it for the quality. On desktop, I’m trying out strawberry, but I find it a bit clunky, so I will probably try out other players. Use beet to download and ebmbed lyrics, and my music has never been better. I immediately ditched Spotify and haven’t looked back.

They are getting more aggressive by the day it seems. Luckily I’ve been windows free for 10 years now. And recently, I switched almost my entire extended family to Linux mint to great success. Only my brother in law still uses win, cause of games, specifically anti cheat - the last hurdle for many people.
