  • Good. Let it die. We don't need Steam on ChromeOS, because it's not as powerful as if you build your own machine. Not to mention that it's actually using a weaponized Gentoo.

  • I'm glad I didn't enable Tivoization (Secure Boot) and TPM. Those suck, and actually froze our machines. It's literally useless at this point.

  • At least Discuss.Online has Anubis to prevent this nonsense.

  • 90% of games can be played on Linux, though some of them actually happened to require some sort of tweaks to get them working. That said, the experience my producer and I have had for about 5 years (August 20th I think will be 5 years) was nothing short of wondrous.

    We'll continue to use LInux until we die.

  • Non-EU, but IVPN. It's based in Gibraltar. Proton I think is also a good one to consider as well.

  • As far as I'm aware (I could be wrong on this), there's no way OP will be able to use Ableton and Cakewalk on Linux. That's why I recommend OP look into the DAW's I mentioned.

  • I might have to take a look at maybe seeing if I could find an i3 version of this. That would be pretty cool, personally speaking.

    Taking a look at the script, though, it might not be too bad if I find a way to do it with i3 or Hypr. I might need to get my producer, Neigsendoig, looking into that.

  • MX Linux was botted due to the amount of hits.

    My producer, Neigsendoig, did a video here where he covered MX 23.

  • Picocrypt, which is an encryption tool for files and folders. It's a 3MB application that utilizes XChaCha20 as its encryption algorithm. It isn't developed anymore, but it's well worth it regardless.

    Neigsendoig, my producer, just started using it, learning how it works.

  • I did this in the past. And that was to wake up after stirring awake from my slumber.

  • Neigsendoig has a solution for that that I looked into, and found to be a good idea. I'd recommend Untraceable Digital Dissident, as one of the articles talks about how your phone is a snitch.

  • I will have to disagree with that, as you can use Yabridge for the Windows VST's when using Wine, provided they don't require iLok. While yes, there is an issue with iLok (because I think they hate Linux users), you could still get a great selection of things specifically for the likes of Ardour, Reaper, Bitwig, LMMS, and other options. My producer, Neigsendoig, and I use Ardour and Zrythm. As for Cakewalk and Ableton, I could see how they don't work. Apparently, FL Studio can with WINE ASIO from what Neigsendoig researched.

    Neither of us would recommend a Mac at all, due to Mac being basically BSD, but with code that could raise major privacy concerns. I think Sendo (Neigsendoig) has tutorials on CoculesNation about setting up Linux for music production.

    Also, I hadn't talked about this yet, but I'd recommend OP look into Ardour, Zrythm, Reaper, and maybe Qtractor as the DAWs of choice.

  • I thought Bluesky was centralized, but not fully centralized. My producer thought this, but I wanted a second opinion on it. Do you happen to use Bluesky, by chance, and that happened to be how you know this?

  • I just have almost everything sensitive on a local machine. If I need backups, I can do local backups on something like a USB drive of sorts.

    I use Obsidian for my scripts, and potentially business contracts, so I don't make my private information public.

  • BlueSky is partially centralized due to most users utilizing a specific instance. Not to mention that it's now unusable in the UK due to the Online Safety Act of 2023 now being enforced with age verification.

  • Windows 10 has support ending for it in October. Linux will probably be the only way to go.

  • I would NOT recommend biting the bullet for Windows 11. If you want to use it, just make sure you have a virtual machine of Windows 11, and have specific purposes for it. That way, you'll be able to sandbox the data as necessary.

  • The UK is owned by a different country. That country is Italy, where the Roman Catholic Church resides. Any Catholic-owned platform will shut down anything that goes against the RCC, or at best, they'll just minimize the reach for those who have some things to say against the Jesuits and Catholic leadership.

    That's from what my producer, Neigsendoig, researched.

  • All the dependencies are stored in the AppImage itself. You can even make an AppImage.home folder so you can make it portable. That's from my research on the matter, though I use them myself.

  • Neigsendoig (my producer) and I started to shy away from Flatpaks. We've hated Snap already, and rather distro packages, third-party compiled packages and AppImages.
