  • I'm not sure how good a suggestion this is for you and your optimus usecase, but have you checked out the uBlue spins of Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite/etc? They pre-include stuff that Fedora won't ship, like non-free codecs and nvidia drivers.

    I'm prepping a swap from Arch Linux to my own Silverblue image based on their DIY guide at the moment, mainly to see how the whole immutable aspect feels day-to-day. The image-based updates in the background are just a bonus.







  • I would've suggested MusicBrainz as a metadata library to pull genre tags from, but I'm pretty sure beets uses that as it's source too. I tried beets on my collection, but ended up just using MusicBrainz Picard and tagging things manually because beets would basically pick the first match it found a lot of the time, and there was usually a more correct option in the database.

    As far as bulk downloading diverse music catalogs, I don't really know of any good sources, but there probably are music-focused trackers out there that could provide that. I've just slowly build my collection up album by album as I found things that interested me. Maybe check the likes of last.fm and ListenBrainz for most played music in their stats, and start collecting those?

    How do you intend to access your music collection? Navidrome? or are you just building up folders of music?



  • In case you are unaware, "poop knife" was a reddit r/confession post from a few years back that went viral, where someone admitted their family has a knife kept in the house specifically for when big 'movements' wouldn't flush, and he had just discovered that wasn't a normal thing everyone just has at home when he needed flush assistance at a friends house.







    • There are other submitted Merge Requests to that gnome-session GitLab repository that are 3 years old and are still open. This is only a proposal, and doesn't actually mean it's happening.
    • If GNOME developers want to focus on expanding Wayland support instead of maintaining X11 support, surely that's their choice - they're mostly volunteers anyway, shouldn't they get to decide what they want to work on?
    • If other developers still want X11 support, they can branch these session targets and X11 support code off into a separate package and handle maintaining it.
    • X11 released in 1987. It had a great run.
