Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I hope it lives up to the hype. I like gnome but at the same time even just the need for the extensions is annoying. Because you’re right, they can be janky really easily depending on factors.

Why would they know or care if you delete something on your local phone? This is about if you deleted it from their platform, indicating shame and in their view, a potential customer.

I appreciate this recommendation. I’ve been trying it out for like 5 minutes and I’m very impressed! This could be life-changing and lead to me axing Spotify. Thank you kind stranger!

Thousands…? Lol probably 3

You can also choose a one time fee with plex

There are other options if you want something entirely free. I’m actually surprised that feature was ever free.

I tried jellyfin and thought Plex was better in all aspects personally. Yeah, it sucks to lose free features, then again no one is owed fully free software from a commercial company

But they develop the software and need to fund that regardless of technical reasons.

Yeah, they’re just bitching. Pretty funny imo

Ditto to all of this, except I don’t know anything about plexamp

No but the fact that software is reasonable to charge for does.

Same. People want literally unlimited shit for free

Every time one of these gets posted I say “wait what? That was free before??”

This is the kind of feature I think is reasonable to charge for. As were the others people were complaining about. Plex lifetime pass is a one time fee.

I love it. Way to go!

Thank you! This is awesome:

Get and set fingerprint LED brightness (–fp-brightness, --fp-led-level)

Came here to say this. I really like mine.

Oh, got it. I thought you were saying the only people to like Linux are those who grew to hate windows. that describes me.

I disagree. If you’re starting from nothing, and you buy a pre-installed, linux is easier by far. The general populace does not install windows themselves either so let’s not compare that aspect.

You’re right that most people don’t use the RE. That was a bad example I guess.

The point of my question is this though: as pointed out in the original post, maintaining windows is no easy lift. To the point that your average user knows and hates the constant windows update process, and needs an “IT guy” in their life to help them overcome the hurdles which will arise. The idea that windows just works is a fallacy. Also same with Mac (or linux), but honestly? To a large degree linux can be that way for most users most of the time. Probably even more so than macs as long as it’s a good setup to begin with (the right distro, the software installed the user needs). Most people just need a browser. And it’s not without challenges just to keep even that running on windows. I’m aware of zero linux distros which force updates and even if you seek them out and install them, they aren’t very disruptive 99% of the time.

Yeah I have to do audiobooks too.
