Apple's requirements should be a pile of money, a big pile of money.

Pirating of otherwise unavailable media.

snap instead of deb

Displays/screens, especially OLED these days. My phone screen uses this technology, my smartwatch, my tablet and my Alienware ultrawide PC monitor for gaming and movies.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Eraserhead (1977), Underground (1995), The Holy Mountain (1973), Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), Ichi the Killer (2001), Inside (2007)

Recently, I watched and really liked the japanese movie Ritual (2000).

I watched all of the above with awesome German dub.

A good power supply by a well-known brand instead of the cheapest. Because if it blows up, all other PC components are in danger of breaking and this can result in data loss.

Visual Studio is not available on Linux and not really working in Wine, sadly. You can use IntelliJ IDEA as a good alternative, it supports Linux officially and has a Flutter plugin.

For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so you can follow most tutorials written for either distribution (like the installation instructions for IntelliJ IDEA or other software that is not available from the APT package manager).

Does it implement explicit sync for Wayland to fix flickering?

When I started my now mostly unused school laptop with dualboot (Windows/Debian) at 3 AM in the basement to solve a router issue. This pretty cheap laptop booted in mere seconds to a completely usable state, sparing my tired self from waiting in the cold for too long.

Right there, in the middle of the night, a flash of inspiration struck me!

How could it be that my way too expensive desktop gaming PC took longer to be ready for everything than this old piece of plastic? What if I completely switched my main machine to Linux, not only for testing, but for real? How awesome would it be to have customization freedom and full control over my own device, without a company spying on me, taking away options or using me as their guinea pig for the next untested updates?

And that's how it began. Linux Mint as a safe start, then Kubuntu for more customization with KDE Plasma. After that, EndeavourOS for the latest software, and finally Arch Linux ... for the lulz (btw).

This would be terrible, because any website could potentially make you a seeder for „illegal“ content while normally browsing the web without a VPN. Meaning, your real IP address may accidentally be recorded by some lawerers and you'll get a fine for whatever you accidentally shared (very dangerous, depending on country).

There are already solutions for webtorrents, but at least these scripts can be blocked.

Windows licenses are cheap

Bullshit, keys are not the same as licenses. A license costs ~150 Euros.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

Not helpful, there are already existing comparison platforms that use AI and (of course) have numerous false information on closer look.

Instead, I always use Geizhals.de for comparisons, it is by far the best website (even internationally) to filter and compare features plus real world prices of most tech-related items. No AI, just real facts from official data sheets, a database and good web programming. Also, completely without paid promotions or enything like that.

Unless you could top that site in reliability, ease of use and features with your AI website, I wouldn't use it.

It uses amazingly low resources while gaming. Never had such a thing on Windows back then.

Thanks, I will try that.

It does, but since I used Plasma 5 before, there are some old files scattered around in my home folder.

It always uses local lyrics when available, otherwise you have the option to right-click sidebar → search for lyrics (supports Genius and lyrics.ovh).

These are the options for metadata:

For actual tag management, I've used puddletag only. But there is some batch rename functionality in this player:

Just an update, I successfully switched my whole user data to EndeavourOS and installed almost everything I have used before. Works nice and smooth with KDE Plasma 6 in Wayland (although an NVIDIA downgrade to 535 is required for gaming until the latest driver is fixed).

(I disabled the Polonium tiling for the screenshot.)

Edit: Switched to Arch today :)

MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X

Additionally, I had a 3 port FireWire card that I used for digitizing old MiniDV camcorder cassettes. But I had to remove it because someone fucked something up in kernel 6.5, crashing the whole boot process after a few milliseconds.

Yeah, window managers like KWin have to implement it as well as NVIDIA in their driver. Currently, everyone is waiting for driver support before merging the (mostly finished) feature into master.
