I always turn off my pc, it takes maybe as much time to boot as it does for me to walk from the power button to the sofa (it’s a living room setup and those 2 things are a metre apart)

I found this artist and some others like them recently, they are really good, they really seem to be making the ‘classic’ progressive sound that i like (with groove and acid) that i felt got lost somewhere along the line.

This was my conclusion too.

I use Markor on android and syncthing, it’s a pretty good experience.

Hey thanks, it was that last paragraph i hadn’t kept up with. But i was hoping for something like that.

I know this may be contentious but can someone give an update/summary on what’s going on with SyncthingFork on fdroid? And is it correct that SyncthingFork from GooglePlay is ok for now?

I’ve yet to upgrade from version 1 because of all the noise, is it still at an impasse, or has it resolved?

I grabbed these two in the steam sale and I’m very keen to try!

After setting up Navidrome and being very happy with it apart from the web interface i went looking for a better one so i’ve looked at a few of these now. Aonsoku does seem to be one of the better ones.

Though i still feel Feishin is currently the most fleshed out and is still getting active development.

It has multi select everywhere, lots of options for sending things to playlists and queues. You can have the playlist docked to the RHS. You can drag stuff around in the queue. Just lots of nice quality of life options.

This sounds really interesting, will check out, i use bandcamp a lot and do have trouble in this area.

Ah thanks for the reply. That is a shame about DX12, i must have not tried any of these cos i’ve found all games i pick run great (i mostly play 2D non intensive indie games). I did play some Death Stranding and was very surprised by how well it ran!

I’ll go for AMD if i can next time (i’ve been doing well getting hand me downs from friends who love getting the latest stuff for themselves!)

(Perhaps asking silly questions in order to understand, I’ve never totally understood the nvidia driver numbers and what they mean, i just kinda installed some and they seem to work and i just forgot about them, i can run the modest games i like)

So just for clarity the 580 drivers will support my 980Ti right? How long will those be supported for? Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?

Another vote for Navidrome here, i use the Tempo android client for it and i use the feishin web front end for desktop because it’s better than the default navidrome web front end.

I’ve found Tempo to be one of the better alternatives you can find on f-droid

You do make some good points here about available docs. I just had trouble running GNOME on a 4GB laptop.

I’d second this, but also add that you probably want to use something like XFCE for your desktop environment due to the amount of RAM you have: https://fedoraproject.org/spins

I agree after switching to Navidrome i tried a few of the apps and found Tempo to be the best

I too have noticed this about them over the years, I avoid their videos about stuff like this now because their “solutions” are, like you say, so very neo-liberal.

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a few years now and it runs anything I’ve picked without issues (even bigger stuff like Baldurs Gate 3). In fact I’m surprised how smooth and trouble free the experience is.

Somewhat off topic but I was totally convinced that Funkwhale had died so I ditched my pod and moved to Navidrome, I wasn’t using federation so I wasn’t really the intended audience. I’m glad they are still going though. But personally I’ve had a better experience with Navidrome with Feishin as a player.

But there is a load of really dodge black metal that is much more cryptic, not being blatant but made by Nazis like Deathspell Omega, Mgla, Drudkh and Winterfyllth. I’ve been in the scene a long time and been fooled by some of these.
