I understand, this also worked for me. Although I also have to include Debian in this since it’s the my favourite for server related installs

Luckily we have business assigned Windows laptops and most of my work is done through web apps so mainly I have Teams, Outlook and Edge open. That way I get to have minimal Windows annoyances.

“My Dad convinced me to try it” - Love it

I can’t remember why, most likely because i got tired of MS and wanted to finally daily drive Linux. I was already working doing windows support so it was a personal challenge. That was about 7 years ago and thanks to that I’ve also setup my own server

Is this the new “Arch BTW”?

And it’s a channel aimed at gamers. Seeing Wendell serving as advisor gives me hope that they can get good results and i agree with the choice of distro

I’m using airsonic, a foss alternative to subsonic. It can have multiple accounts and shared playlists

I use bandcamp regularly, although i tend to just buy and download from the webpage, and then I let beets organise and copy the files into predefined directories. It also can do zip files.

I created a Window Rule and so far it seems to be working. This was a test but I’ve done it before through the Window-Specific Overrides in Windows Decorations-Edit Breeze Theme
I use the keyboard very often and have a shortcut for that. It works for my use case, I always have windows maximized and tile them when i need it using the default keyboard shortcuts

I removed all the window titlebars on KDE and I’m happy

Yesterday I got into a “funny image” post showing someone who couldn’t use the correct date format online and quickly found a comment, with tailors, about the most efficient way of searching through a date-time format. I stopped and just thought that was the most "Reddit"moment I’ve had so far here and it felt nice

Bandcamp is where I do most of my shopping. Not sure where you are located. In Europe, for alternatives I use Qobuz and have used Bleep.
I tend to use it for more “commercial” albums.

Try the sim card, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad and it works

Any tips? Anything that stands out to you?

I was using Nicotine+ but having slskd on my server is a plus

“The cargo bike cult really thinks most of the world is a small town in central Europe when most of the world on avg is mountains in Indonesia.” - agreed, they can still go to other countries in Europe and make the same claim. I’d love to see them bike in winter on the Atlantic coast.

I’m currently using beets to tag my music and airsonic for streaming

I’m using airsonic with symfonium, gotta check Gonic (it’s been mentioned twice in the comments)

From what I’ve heard of seen in the Linux community music production on Linux is not easy. There is a fair amount of tweaking to get audio working and connecting instruments.

I’ve once created a profile with about 1500 lines of code for powershell, managing AD at work. It was great to learn, it’s great for scripting and it’s very intuitive (for me at least), I also liked working with objects.
I wouldn’t use it on Linux though, I’m not sure how well integrated it is.
I’m using fish at the moment, desktop and server, and I like it primarily for the functions and the autocomplete
