I did install it via package manager back when I used this distro and it worked well, but some weeks after, I switched distros to Kubuntu. Now I’m using Arch btw. with latest KDE Plasma (I recommend this).

Here is a comment I made in another thread:

For pirated games, I recommend Bottles installed as a flatpak. That’s because it has a per-game toggle for sandboxing the app, not giving it access to your complete home folder and optionally no network access or audio output.

Even when using trusted sources, you can never be safe enough. Bottles with sandboxing will at least protect your files from crypto trojans and prevent you from becoming part of a botnet. It should not have any impact on performance.

Remember to put all installer files anywhere inside the prefix folder, otherwise sandboxing denies access to them. After creating an empty game entry in Bottles, check the 3 dots menu for the option to open it in your file explorer.

Visual Studio is not available on Linux and not really working in Wine, sadly. You can use IntelliJ IDEA as a good alternative, it supports Linux officially and has a Flutter plugin.

For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so you can follow most tutorials written for either distribution (like the installation instructions for IntelliJ IDEA or other software that is not available from the APT package manager).

snap instead of deb

Glad you like my recommendation! :)

I hope that too, this is by far the best player I have tried on Linux.

Have fun!

You can use either y> or y< in the generator settings of a playlist to sort by year. You can use ypa to sort by year per artist.

Me too, I found it on the bottom of a audio player list in the Arch Linux wiki. Oh, I use Arch btw. xD

Thanks :)

Yes, you can even generate new playlist with right-click from an existing one (most played etc.). You can also combine multiple playlists/libraries to another playlist like this: s"My First Playlist" s"My Second Playlist" a

My music library is local. I use Jellyfin only for movies and series currently.

It always uses local lyrics when available, otherwise you have the option to right-click sidebar → search for lyrics (supports Genius and lyrics.ovh).

These are the options for metadata:

For actual tag management, I’ve used puddletag only. But there is some batch rename functionality in this player:

Spot on analysis.

Will probably be fixed with driver 555 next month (explicit sync support).

This app is a godsend.

A bit OT: I recommend this loudness equalization preset: https://github.com/Digitalone1/EasyEffects-Presets

Whoa, that’s a lot of comments. Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I will think about this.

I … bought an official digital Windows license back then before I even thought about Desktop Linux. Now I feel dirty …

Just to piss Microsoft off, I used the activation script for my GPU passthrough Tiny11 VM instead of simply signing into my account. ;)

Windows licenses are cheap

Bullshit, keys are not the same as licenses. A license costs ~150 Euros.
