Wait frostwire still exists? I remember using it to download mp3’s back when I still used Windows XP. These days I use transmission for torrents. But only rarely to download a linux ISO.
I use a GUI, selfhosted and web based instance of The Lounge. Ive been using it for a few years now and its wonderfull. I can be connected at all times without leaving my laptop on. Before that i used Hexchat, dIRC (was a wonderful client for windows, so mist have been around 2000) and mIRC, which i think is still one of the biggest clients.
I’ll look for Tuxedo, but Peppermint OS appears to have dropped their old logo in favor of a word mark on their website. I don’t see the old logo anywhere.
At least with AMD my runtime was always pretty good under Linux. Since some years at least. Was on Intel before and always had worse battery life with Linux - most probably because of the additional NVidia GPU, that didn’t play nicely with Linux power management
Yes and no. It is good and I did one restore of some files that worked fine, but in my case it was noticeably affecting my boot up times, and I reverted to ext4 (boot ups were fast again to less than one minute). For some reason, BTRFS was resulting in quick login, but about 18 mins before my actual desktop was responsive after login. I spend many days trying to troubleshoot that. Maybe you won’t have this problem. I had my SSD system drive on ext4 with Timeshift backups, and my /home partition on BTRFS.
So I’m back on my ext4 doing a daily automated backup to a second drive with rsync (LuckyBackup app). I think there are further kernel improvements coming to BTRFS later in this year. But I’ll probably only retry it again end of 2023 or in2024. So if you decide to move, just benchmark your boot times, so you can judge if it affects them badly or not.
That said, BTRFS has some great features, lost no data for me, and I think has a great future.
I would basically setup a windows Server with Remoteapp then use freeRDP on linux to run Adobe software. But note that some software need a GPU or it will be slow. Photoshop will be fine. But aftereffect and premiere may need a GPU. Best option would be a separate work and private computer for security this will separate a little work and private stuff.
If only. Systemd is mature to the point it is the de facto init system and used by almost all distros. Wayland and its compositors are still in development.
