That’s true for any OS install I do for myself though :)

Newer software is nice, it’s not too much trouble.

The fork is called UZDoom and it’s already in the AUR. I read the Slashdot story on this today, and there’s a little more going on here. AI code grosses people out, but the bigger issue is that it’s being used in a GPL3 project which kind of isn’t allowed. The lead dev was also being a bit of a twat and not cooperating with the community. Long live UZDoom!

Post boot time too.

Because it’s Free and reviewed by kernel maintainers, what do you mean?

Code is code. If it’s good Free code, I’ll use it. I also don’t like Microsoft and Facebook but I run their kernel code too.

I appreciate this kind of straightforward honesty.

pyautogui is scripting, but it’s dead simple. You really don’t have to learn python to use it, just copy and paste the examples and modify to your heart’s content.

LMAO your snarky comment was way better than whatever bullshit I was about to say

When?

Protip: don’t ask, just do it.

These days the things that really differentiate distros are: installer, default desktop environment, packaging, packages.

tits or gtfo

I switched to Linux exclusively 2 years ago and I gotta say it’s been pretty awesome. Pretty much everything works without fucking around.

I changed to Linux because it’s better. Windows sucks ass.

This is why I’ve never liked the idea of flatpak, it really seems like the Windows way of doing things. It honestly still kind of surprises me that Linux people really wanted to download random binaries from non-trusted distributors that contain a copy of every library that software needs to run. wedontdothathere.jpg

I looked into it and you’re right. I could probably save 7G by reencoding all my music and it sounds better. I’d have to rewrite a bunch of scripts :)

“Downsizing” an mp3 is what we call transcoding, and it’s bad. An mp3 (or the better ogg vorbis) works (basically) by discarding parts of the audio that you won’t hear. Doing that will discard parts of the mp3 that already has a bunch of parts discarded and this makes it sound bad.

I do something like what you’re looking for, but it’s all through a bunch of custom scripts and crap that I made. I buy flac, encode that to ogg (which sounds better than mp3s at lower bitrates), those oggs get synced to my phone, then later I organize those oggs to my collection.

I think you’ll have to either accept these large mp3s or start a lossless collection.

Cinnamon is a super simple DE for simple people. I don’t mean this as an insult, some people just never even think to customize their computer and are scared by settings and options. Just use KDE if it has features you like, you clearly sound like you’re up for the change.

Continue to not give it, what do you mean?
