Are we going to see arch based immutable distros in the near future?
  • I just started toying with Arkane Linux. It's fairly easy enough to make your own image and they provide some simple templates you can use if you don't want Gnome. To me, the greatest thing about Arch is the AUR and unfortunately it doesn't support AUR packages out of the box. This might not be a problem since you could mostly get along with flatpaks or distrobox. It might be a chore for someone new to Arch to have to compile something straight from the AUR that your device needs to function, like what I've had to do.

  • For those who selfhost their music services, what are your must have plugins for beets and/or Musicbrainz
  • This is just a small list, but plugins like beetcamp, deezer, and lastgenre among others have been helpful to tag music. If you use deemix or buy music from bandcamp those plugins are extremely helpful. Lastgenre needs some configuring and monitoring to make sure irrelevant tags aren't assigned to songs though.

    If you're into scripting, calliope is another tool that can interact with Spotify, lastfm, and musicbrainz (though musicbrainz stuff in my experience was unreliable). I'm using calliope to scrap together a solution to sync my local favorites in my music library and sync that to Spotify. It can also create playlists for Spotify from your local music library, and get Lastfm recommendations based on an artist or song.

  • what caused you to get into Linux?
  • Privacy, Windows 11, and the fact that my system is more stable running Linux. I could count on a BSOD happening once or twice a week due to a driver issue with Windows 10. I still get strange crashes on Linux, but much less often.

  • Anyone self-hosting Invidious for personal use and has experienced his IP banned?
  • For me, I know it doesn't offer much privacy if its locally hosted, but the latency compared to using public instances is much better. Which may sound stupid, but at least I also don't have to depend on another person for their instance.

  • Google execs admit users are ‘not quite happy’ with search experience after Reddit blackouts
  • I didn't realize how important Reddit was to get quality results from Google. Without Reddit almost the whole 1st page is just SEO optimized sites. It's just ironic that alternate search engines are better than Google now.
