giddy , in Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?
@giddy@aussie.zone avatar

I’m guessing Arch’s dominance is largely due to SteamOS?

Musicbee with wine! I have never been able to find something that does it all as well as musicbee, and I’ve tried almost every single linux music player. I have a huge music library, I add a ton of music regularly. I need auto-tagging, i need to be able to sort, filter and search, a very customizable interface, all of the mp3 tags including obscure ones, gapless playback, configurable fade-in/fade-out, etc etc. With the exception of a few little nitpicks like not integrating well with the KDE media widget, and some occasional annoyances with pipewire, everything works great.

joeldebruijn , in Debian Bookworm and Bullseye Users Receive Important Linux Security Updates

I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.

After reboot it installed and logging in worked.

Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?

DaPorkchop_ ,

no that just sounds like a bug

I just use Navidrome’s web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.

i do not see the hype for immutable distros, they seem to be for an incredibly niche sub-section of the linux desktop which is already incredibly niche (i’ll probably be answering my own question). good for the devs for trying new things i guess but these seem like hell to use if you are a tinkerer, gnome is whack and won’t convince any new users to use linux. it seems like an operating system i’d install for my tech illiterate parents so i won’t have to troubleshoot anything if it had a desktop like cinnamon or kde because they would have some familliarity with a windows like ui.

Vincent ,

Why would “people who don’t want to have to troubleshoot anything” be a niche? I love it exactly because it’s mostly the same as what I used to have, except that I don’t have to worry about updates breaking as much.

Aqualung—does the small set of things I need it to, and is content to operate on files and directories rather than force the creation of a “music library” that doesn’t in any way match how I categorize my music (although if you actually want a music library, it can do that). Only issue is that it’s still GTK2, which may become a problem within the next few years.

Unsafe , in Linux Containers From Scratch in C

There is really no reason to implement extensively audited runC in C, but the Dev only has the journey, no goals.

aGeN OP , in Messed up my fonts

Well I had another go tonight. Uninstalled almost every font. At one point my browser didnt have any fonts. Reinstalled a load of fonts but still my terminal looked a total mess. I then installed Kitty and all my fonts and icons are looking good… So its a urxvt issue. Ill dig about a bit mire when I get some tine.

beeng , (edited ) in Microsoft says a Copilot key is coming to keyboards on Windows PCs starting this month

I’m stuck on Windows at work, and I have a terminal open on my work PC 100% of the time for tasks, questions and formatting duties (format list, reorder etc) so maybe this could be OK.

Wording is confusing however, as Github is what I think when i hear “copilot”, but I do know both are owned by M$.

I’m not for the extra key, I use a custom ortho split anyway, but I’m guessing it’s just the “windows key” again with hype…

charje , in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

Does anyone have experience with the pine buds pro? I’m especially curious about the microphone.

Not sure if the PineTab would be a good choice
