I think rmpc can do this too, which is an mpd client with album art support, but it’s terminal based and requires some manual configuring. I’ve been buying CDs over the past couple of years to get rid of streaming as well, and i think i’m finally ready to cut the cord. I’ve been experimenting with different music players but ended up ditching mpd. I like to be able to switch between audio outputs easily, like alsa or pipewire, and since mpd is configured through a config file it kinda sucks for that. I also like to be able to play CDs directly, eventhough i have ripped them all, but i haven’t been able to get any terminal player to play a cd, except for mplayer, which is too minimal for my taste. At the moment i’m really liking audacious. Also tried deadbeef and strawberry, but deadbeef doesn’t have mpris support ootb, and strawberry feels a bit bloated to me. Audacious feels like a nice middleground. Audacious does support viewing lyrics but not synced from what i can tell unfortunately.

Yeah in that case you probably want something else. So far i’ve only ever used it for text based questions. I think i remember seeing that there is also a webui out there but i don’t remember the name.

So far i’ve really liked just using ollama in the terminal since it just spits out text anyway.

For me it’s pretty basic. It’s mostly aliases for nix related commands, like rebuild-switch, updating, garbage collecting, because those nix commands are pretty lenghty, especially with having to point to your flake and everything. I’m thinking of maybe adding an alias for cyanrip (cli cd ripper), because i recently ripped my entire cd collection, but going forward if i buy another cd every now and then, i’ll probably end up forgetting about which flags i used.

Why would you customize your terminal on windows if you never use it though lol. Also for me it’s the other way around. Had to start dualbooting again recently and i started using winget, because it’s much more convenient than going through websites and downloading exe’s. Maybe not as good as on linux, but a nice improvement.

Well i have to admit i’ve actually been treating gta online as a single player grind game for the most part. On ps4/5 i did play together with a friend of mine though, but playing in a lobby with randoms can definitely be frustrating, especially if you are a grinder because lots of people like blowing your shit up. I’m honestly still shocked that rockstar allows you to pretty much do everything in invite only lobbies now, because i remember having to do all kinds of tricks with my internet connection to get into a public lobby by myself.

Me booting into windows just to play some gta online

I don’t care about the init system, however i do love void mainly because of the package manager.

If i remember correctly you can pass a txt file to pacman when installing packages, but i could be wrong. There is also BlendOS, which from what i can tell has an immutable base, with a toml config on top of it to install the additional packages you want. Never tried it myself though. I also use NixOS because i wanted to be able to reproduce my riced out system more easily if i have to reinstall. I do wish this space had some more competition, because it might make this way of running a distro more approachable. The closest thing i’ve seen aside from guix is probably those ublue customized images that you can build, but i’m not sure how comparable that is.

Idk but in his thumbnails he always looks like he has to take a shit

Honestly surprised nintendo hasn’t taken it down yet lol

If you prefer stacking then maybe wayfire is worth taking a look at. It’s a stacking compositor but it has eyecandy as well.

Well i’ve experienced the black screen during install on a vm install before as well, so i feel like it has to be a more common issue atleast. I do agree with the rgb/fan software just being pretty ass in general, but i was also having issues with openrgb just not starting at boot randomly, but it worked when launched normally, so that does seem more like a windows issue to me, though i will say it has been working fine for a while now. In my vm install i’ve also had a windows update stopping my usb dac from working. Had to revert the update to get it working again, after finding a weird chatgpt article online about what was causing it lol.

Idk man, when i started using linux with PopOS as my first distro 5 years ago, i don’t remember anything not working as it should. It wasn’t until i started using arch that i had to do more things myself, which makes sense cause it’s a diy distro.

Yeah that’s true, i guess you don’t really realize how crappy something really is until you go out of your way to try something else.

I legit don’t understand how people are even using windows anymore these days. For the first time in years i did a bare metal install because my dumbass wanted to play gta online, which now has anticheat, so i decided to dualboot. First attempt to install the installer completely shit itself and the screen went black, could not recover from it. Even a full reboot did not resume the install process, so i had to run the install all over again. Now that it’s finally installed i keep having weird issues with my rgb and fan control software randomly deciding to not autostart, and manually starting them does not work, or my fans just start spinning at max speed uncontrollably, and the only way to fix it is to do a reboot. Windows 11 has been out for years now right? It still feels like beta quality software, shit just keeps breaking, and then people have the gall to say windows just works lol.

For this reason i kinda like using pass + pass-otp as my password manager as well. I mean regardless they still need to know my master password of course, but on top of that they most likely won’t even know how to use it since it cli based.

Man, i’m a NixOS user so probably also biased because i got used to the nix language, but legitimately all the parentheses in guix confuse the hell out of me lol

Nah you should probably stick it in your ass. Improves code quality drastically.
