Picard uses audio fingerprinting and the musicbrainz DB to match the items. If the items are in the DB, then it will find them. If they aren’t, then they can be added.
There are other similar tools (although they might not have graphical UIs) which also use additional metadata backends and allow complex manipulation of audio files. I personally use beets which can be configured to use Musicbrainz, Spotify, Deezer, Discogs and Bandcamp for metadata (it will also help with file manipulation, audio normalization, fetch cover art and many other things). It seems that there is a plugin called ‘ytimport’ which integrates with SoundCloud and YouTube. That might help with your specific question, though I did not test it.
Beware that the latest release of beets (2.5.x at the time of writing) is quite fresh and might break some plugins. I personally will stick with 2.4.x for a while.


I’m not advocating for anything, but if I remember correctly, flatpaks are typically installed in user home directory. If that’s the case, then it’s just a matter of copying a directory and installing flatpak. I might be wrong though.
Calling people idiots is not helping them, it’s insulting them.


Does it detect browsers installed through flatpak?


Ok, my mistake. I didn’t express myself correctly. I wasn’t referring to the article but to the communication between developers.


I don’t see any drama. It’s just people working together, having different priorities yet still getting things done. Some friction is to be expected.


Would it be possible to use a “thin” Windows VM as “client” for One Drive? Meaning that the client would be responsible for synchronization of mounted directories which are actually used on the host machine.


We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.
We’ll develop everything openly. Our policy is to publish code, collaborate with the community, and be transparent. Free software, for us, is a matter of principle—not just legal compliance.


IIRC that’s not accurate. You only need that “pro feature” if you want to be able to apply activate kernel updates without rebooting. Unless you have that requirement and an armada of devices matching that profile you don’t need to pay anything.


You’re right. But I’d rather have limited Linux options than no option at all.
Testing a normal Linux installation sounds like a good idea. In my opinion it’s better to transition to Linux than switch. That way you can go back to your previous system setup and see what you are missing or need without having to open your computer and swap hardware. If you can add the old or new SSD as an external drive and so that you can can boot then your plan might work out.


I just can’t be bothered to switch when my current distro worked just fine for me for the last 20 years. I have no time to experiment anymore, I just want to get things done.
So how did it work out for you? Did bcachefs manage to perform any miracles?
You can’t lose what you never had, though. ;-)
Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.
Elderly people in my family use Ubuntu (LTS) for over a decade. In one particular case, all LTS updates are performed remotely, without issues.
That’s no 20 meter wide display.
Calibre is a Java application and available as a flatpak package. Maybe check how they do it?
Works (again?) for me.
