I went for Nixos (distro) with Plasma (desktop environment). Nixos has a great package manager (99% of the things there just work)and the way you install things is essentially having a list of your packages/apps. Deleting them is just as easy and the best part is that it’s totally gone, no lingering random files that could bite me in the future. If you mess up your configuration bad it’ll force you to stay the working version if you don’t like what you did you’ll revert it. Plasma has incredible defaults and you can click around in it to fine tune to your liking. Plug things into plasma is just works at least for me. I’ve plugged midi controllers, audio interface, dock, hdmi, game controllers first try no fuss. Oh I’m sure other distros have this as well but fun fact if your bt is on and the laptop is connected to a speaker you can just connect your phone (or any other bt source) and use your laptop as a bt speaker. And I mean it just works again. Yeah sure you need to pair it first. But boy oh boy Im playing on the tv and i can just bt to it and play my tunes like it’s nothing. Back to the question in hand. I have a windows version of Ableton 11 that I installed there with 3rd party vst 2 and 3 plugins figuring that one out took me longer but it was in front of me all the time so in hindsight that wasn’t too hard either. So that was my new generation Arch btw xD aka NixOS btw. The tl dr is that I find Nixos with KDE Plasma 6 having very friendly defaults that can be built on if and when you ready

I had an old Meriva I called her Marge. She was tall and blue. But my 2008 Lexus SUV … I can’t name it. Nothing sticks man. Occasionally I call it Lexy

That throws an api error at me

I’ve never tried it but planning to. How is it these days?

I would hang w my non-blood-bro

I make good money. I have a masters in sound engineering and I work in IT. I enjoy both a lot and probably that’s why I make little out of them or im just shit lol

Ersatz is this brilliant self hosted IPTV server that can do this. Any client (even a browser or your smart tv) can run it. Setting up the channels are a bit clunky but it’s well documented

Nixos Is my first distro I use on desktop. I’m not sure why but I guess the fact that it won’t build till it checks Is a huge plus for me. I love to f up things to learn from them but I don’t like broken things and oh boy. Nix keeps me in the clean, safe. Don’t get me wrong im doing stupid stuff all the time but just cus i have a few configs written down i can learn a lot. Or a little that amazes me lol

If i take a look at north eu countries where’s the lowest crime rates that im aware of. I can see that it’s really hard to get gun and it’s not for self defence. Also the police have a 2,5+ years training. If you compare it with the most gun loving country you see where the problem lies. Worth comparing the look and feel of prisons and the number of prisons per population. So yh that’s my view. Im from Hungary (pretty far right country for my mixed ass) lives in the UK different shit and stinks of a different odour lol

I use yazi via ssh(it beats most file browsers even the gui once with photo preview and such) and before that i was browsing through the casa OS file manager. Casa was my second entry to self hosting

Oh wow thanks

Utter nightmare. It doesn’t even lit the available letters in the dark. It’s just bad

My old mate’s phone stuck with me for decades. Not sure if it’s pleasing but sure is something

Been there done that 🥲

I just use tailscale. I am thinking about external share options but for me and my closests just plain simple tailscale

Closest depiction AND sound design to what I dream when I’m dreaming.

Check out the Twin Peaks series. For me that’s the closest I’ve ever seen on screen
