Foobar! I tweaked it for years to be as simple yet powerful as possible. It counted plays, the date when songs were added and last played, which is lost now. It had a beautiful waveform-view I miss every day. And it converted and renamed files exactly as I told it to. I found some workarounds, but nothing comes close. Rhythmbox is good but misses the waveform view. Other applications are beautiful but offer too much bells and whistles, I like it simple. Feel free to recommend stuff!

I was a windows fanboy for more than 20 years. Going back every couple of months feels strange. Windows has changed, feels intrusive and uncandid to me. Linux is still new and sometimes a little strange to me, I miss my perfectly customized music player but apart from that, it’s so much fun to use. I can’t ever go back. Looking at Windows-user struggling makes me unconformable because i know they will never experienced how using a free OS feels like. They are so used to smartphones and computers shoving stuff down their throats instead of being the best tool you can come up with.

I was one of the commenters but I’m of no help. It just worked. I use Linux Mint, it has Nvidia-support out of the box. I installed sunshine and, well, used it. No extra settings, no tinkering.
I love Mint, btw. I don’t see how this is a beginners OS. Just because everything is easy and just works? I have no intentions to distro hop because I don’t see anything I could gain from changing to a different Linux version.

I have a Nvidia card, use sunshine and never had any problems in Linux Mint

I dual boot Linux Mint, installed it AFTER Windows and never had any problems. I default boot Linux.

I dual boot for two years, because I need a special software for work every couple of months. I mounted my old windows drive in Linux and soft linked it from my Linux home directory. So if I go to home > documents I see my new documents, plus there is a “documents archive” folder, that takes me to my windows drive with it’s older documents. I added these soft links to my music, pictures as well. This works great.
I never experienced any problems with windows destroying my boot options. I’m not an expert, but managed to setup GRUP to instantly boot Linux (Mint). If I want windows, I need to push the boot menu key (F11) and actively select it. Otherwise I don’t even notice it’s even there.

FUCK CONTENT, LET ALL THE MINDLESS DISTRACTION DIE, WE’D BE BETTER OFF IN THE STREETS, SPENDING TIME TOGETHER, BUILDING SOMETHING, ACTUALLY TALKING TO EACH OTHER!
Says a tiny edgelord in me. I would never write something like this, I’m an adult.

I like the simplicity and that everything is up to date. Not sure about the weekly 11 GB of updates though.

Same, Timeshift let me down one time when I needed it. I still use it though, and I’m afraid to upgrade Mint because I don’t want to set my system again for of the upgrade fails to keep my configuration and Timeshift fails to take me back

In FreeTube, go to Settings > SponsorBlock and enable “Use DeArrow Video Titles” and “Use DeArrow for thumbnails”

You can get an old Raspberry Pi very cheap, i have a 2b but you can go even lower. It’s probably a better idea to spend a few bucks and install DietPi with Pihole on it. It uses only 5 watts, your laptop takes probably ten times more.

I want to upgrade (Mint 21.3 => 22). Last upgrade took hours and the result was so bad I had to reinstall Mint from scratch. Do you guys use the upgrade tool, or do you have good advice on how to approach this?

I am reading THIS BOOK and it is not fun

Project Half-Earth

Never understood why nobody calls him an “american oligarch”

This is seriously an impressive story. It is not a great point for killing sentient beings for your selfish pleasure though.

Haha, no, I don’t fuck pumpkin, do you even get what I’m trying to say?
Did you look at the Bullshit Bingo? It addresses everything you said, because you’re not the first one to come up with it. It’s a collection of a hand full of replies I hear all the time. I answer them all the time. I even looked up the # so you don’t have to go through the rest of the bullshit.

You’re comfortable with killing because you’re not the one whos throat is being slit.
I would argue that your idiology is way more poisonous and harmful than mine. If you don’t want to watch anything, you can read the transscript here.
Who’s got the most impressive canines? You know what they eat?

Yeah it’s not as insane as you think, as I commented here. Plus you’re ticking some serious Bullshit Bingo. Check #15, #22, #37, and #51.
