It definitely looks intriguing but I’m also holding out for either a capable Linux phone or the next Graphene OS device. If I can’t strangle Google on my phone or be completely separate of it, then no thanks.

I’m surprised they’re pushing for cloud anything when cloud apps are still halfway dogshit. Like the 365 suite on the web.

Prismlauncher! I remember browsing through the changelog and spotting this, made me chuckle internally.

I use a combination of Navidrome, Lidarr + slskd & deemix, and Mixarr, with beets to organize and add metadata to my library. Theres multiple plugins that exist for slskd integration, and deemix still works, you just need to extract your ARL.

Mixarr is decent and has options for recommendations. Though as of right now Spotify and Deezer integration won’t work cause they shut down making apps to access their API.

I use a hacky script and custom containers with SSH enabled to allow Lidarr to trigger beets to import music after Lidarr has downloaded and imported into its own library. But Lidarr does a good enough job of being organized and beets isn’t necessary to get a library going!

Good to know it works well in Linux! I was afraid after Riot acquired the game that it wouldnt get a native Linux port or have extra hoops to run through Proton.

This is one of the few times I’m ok with a game releasing early. It was in Dev hell for a long ass time only to get nearly canned until it was reacquired. If it can get the support it needs to achieve the dev’s vision, I’m ok with that.

And they have made it extremely clear what kind of state the game is in.

It depends on the plan but for a premium you can get international coverage through most carriers that is to some extent 4G/5G?

Most ISPs and cellular plans charge out the ass for arbitrary data limits and faster speeds in the U.S. Some areas have decent ISPs not trying to nickel and dime you but not super common.

Finally!!! Playnite was amazing when I used to be on Windows. Unfortunately no Linux tool yet has the extendability and usefulness Playnite has. Looking forward to seeing this on Linux eventually. It really is amazing for unifying game libraries and has decent almost Steam Big Picture-like skins too.

Unmotivated? Its a literal checkbox in the anticheats that games package to enable running in Proton. This is not Valve’s responsibility, but idiot or lazy game companies/devs.

Secure boot is what I think you’re thinking of because of Battlefield 6. But as I understand from just skimming it, its handled a bit differently in Linux than Windows, so unsure of how that could be handled or adapted for native Windows games.

Okie dokie boomer

If I had to spray and pray 1500 resumes I’d be suicidal.

I’d dabbled with Linux and multiple distros in the past and while I liked what I saw I had my frustrations. Various distros had their pros and cons and I wasn’t as technically capable back then.

After Windows 11’s unnecessary launch I gave Windows 10 LTSC a try. I don’t think it was LTSC specific but my experience was buggy as hell and would BSOD every other day. So I thought I’d force myself to use Linux and have used Arch or other flavors of Arch ever since. No sink or swim, I was just going to live with it and not deal with Microsoft’s bullshit anymore.

You should be who they hire for article subject lines.

Nothing closed source or FOSS really comes close. Heres to hoping with it being axed well finally see a FOSS launcher like it eventually.

Are we really restarting this conversation for the FUCKING millionth time???

Also use dust. Great for visualizing directory trees of where all the bigger files lie.

Fuck Google and fuck the bureaucracy of the U.S. Of course they’d rule to not split Google in the face of them killing sideloading.

My experience too with Linux on phones so far. Really, really want freedom of choice and to be free from Android. It isn’t a real choice if I want a social life and a phone that isn’t a brick.

Seconded. I’d rather sunset at 4:30 and freezing my ass off than torturing myself with the summer heat that comes with the late sun.
