Get a box of cds at a garage sale.

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Bohi linux?

Spotify was great for me back in 2016-2017. Now i just to cds i buy. It’s a lot more for new cds, but nice

I rip music to play in the car for my kids. Mostly mix tracks they like.

I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

Sorry to hear. I think there are some firmware downgrades around to flash to some of the pc drives to get ripping working, unless this is specific to this particular movie.

You might have a bad disk, do an exchange. I have had many bad uhd disks from new boxes over the years. I wish optical storage wasnt used for this kind of thing.

Wow really? I have tried to use Turbo tax and QuickBooks a few times with wine and no success. Maybe time for a revisit.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

Yeah, i have an example of this. I spent since time today building a local copy of handbrake have it run in a distrobox of arch to get AMD hardware acceleration as an option. The flatpak version refused to do this. It wasn’t too bad, but still wild i did this.

Maybe Tiny 11 was the answer?

Same, I’m not gaming, but this distro for me that I find just working. I used Aurora for a bit before making the switch.

The steps look good. It’s running Alpine. I wonder how long this takes start to helloworld.

Yep, maybe wispersync integration will happen soon and help out. A time killer yep. I jave tried downloading subtitles from the internet, but hit or miss on getting it to sync.

i do not like this, will third party ROMs be the only options going forward?

you’ll also want mkvnix tool as well to edit the mkvs. you are going down the hole.

are you using subtitle edit to generate the subtitle (srt) files? that’s what i use, it’s not horrible… but work.

i just want a Samsung hardware with bloat free os… witch is asking too much. My current pixel 7 is fine for my needs, but wish the battery could go longer.

i have a 7, it’s very nice. 8 or 9 should be even better, but if shopping used the 7 is very affordable.
