I see the mentioning of Navidrome everywhere, but the reality is that if your music collection has the slightest issue with the id tags (and who doesn't), Navidrome will fuck you up big time.
I am still a fan of OG Airsonic, (not Airsonic - Advanced) which is folder based. Works all the time.
When I installed Tumbleweed not so long ago, I also had problems. The installer is notorious for giving you an unusable system sometimes, even when using the defaults.
I have been running Tumbleweed "stock" on my desktop for about 10 months now and truth to be told I never had a problem with it, including updates. Rock stable with a nice snapshot feature as a safety net.
That's why I'll wait to install Kalpa on the desktop. Just no reason for it.
I have of course run into bugs but those came from KDE. Can't really blame Tumbleweed for those.
In fact, Tumbleweed is the reason I went all in with Linux and ditched dual booting Windows, as I had been bit pretty hard early on my linux journey with other distros and made me think twice using Linux as a daily-reliable-driver.
Yes, I couldn't even use whoogle with the free tier as I got ratelimited on normal search queries.
Needless to say that many ppl share the same (proton vpn IP) on the free tier.
I'll bet I'm older than you.
Its pretty obvious isn't it?
And yet here I am looking to expanding my devices with a replacement server (linux) and a NUC (linux).
Finally ditched Windows on the desktop forever, about 7 months ago.
I agree with you on mobile. I my country many ppl ditched laptops and desktops for their phones.
Although I have a hard time understanding how they can actually get some work done on the phone, if they do any work from home that requires a computer. Well those ppl probably have an old laptop laying around.
Starter edition - with no option of changing wallpaper and a 3 app multitask limitation.
Proprietary telemetry built into the kernel.
...Microsoft will die on that hill.

Well, more crazy things has happened. Do you think that Google is going to be here forever?
It's the little things that corrodes a company. Hence the "crack in the armour.
I like to think that most people surf the Internet with an ad blocker. Simple because the Internet is just riddled with ads and the experience is frustrating without one.
So if you see your grandma has a bad experience online, you are likely to install an ad blocker to help her out. Most people knows how to do this, at least one person in the family. That is what hurts Google the most.
It's the annoyance factor that is a great driver of change. The way people do things. Even if they are used to do things in a certain way.
I personally have notest the Google maps are much more inaccurate nowadays than it used to be. It has become an annoyance.
You might as well go the whole way for desktop supremacy! ;)
Well some sacrifices has to be done.
I use an add on called "Dark background, white text" or something like that. Less bloated than Dark Reader.
Has to be somewhat usable while privacy oriented.
...or extracting the decryption key from RAM.
Moral of the story:
Always shutdown the computer when you are not using it, kids.
Yeah, the input thread priority sounds cool and it would be nice on KDE as well, but if you have a faster computer than a potato, I'll guess you won't be needing that kind of "optimization".
God bless CrowdStrike for their thoughtfulness!
