What's (you)'r favorite music player?
Until 3 months ago I was still on windows and used "Magix MP3 Deluxe 19" because I had a key for that from some humble bundle. I liked that it was easy to sync with my phone, to tag and manage my songs and that it was easy to change metadata from the browsing view (so you don't have to open some dialogue).
Currently I'm using rhythmbox, but I was wondering if I was missing out on some better alternatives.
Rhythmbox is nice in that it has the table view I'm used to from magix, but to change metadata you have to open a dialogue, it doesn't have a sync option (not a big deal since that is just as easily done with rsync) and the automatic album art fetching doesn't seem to work.
I'd prefer it to be lightweight, handle the usual audio formats (most of my shit is youtube ripped mp3s from decades ago, so no exotic filetypes in there) and not look ass.

going to be dual-booting my laptop all on one SSD - windows, arch, and a shared storage partition. what file system will work best for that shared storage partition? getting conflicting results for NTFS vs exFAT. also the partition will be fully encrypted w veracrypt

>>103087617
NTFS. Use the ntfs-3g driver in Linux. Never run ntfsfix. exFAT has no metadata safety and gets wrecked by single bit errors. It's an expendable filesystem for digicams not a real fat32 replacement.

In Linux you can edit file Metadata while it's open by another program (aka 'is in use'). Has Windows 10, let alone Windows 11 overcome this challenge?
What's the formal term for this feature?

>>103087324
Is there anything better than RSS/Atom for periodic text-based updates sent in an encrypted format over the internet? I have a server in a remote location, and I want to be able to periodically run checks on the health of the hard drives, and send updates to my other devices - desktop, smartphone etc. I want it to be encrypted, because even though I'm not going to be publishing instructions to access it, the idea is that the data should be transmitted over the internet. I want the whole thing to be automated requiring as little manual intervention as possible, whether over ssh or actually going to the location. The server will be running linux, but the clients may not be. Ideally there would be some mechanism to only notify me explicitly if a message is marked urgent, but otherwise have updates automatically download and be available should I wish to look at them.

What's up with Firefox on Linux Mint? Always seems to have some kind of issue.
Before, it was really slow compared to the windows version. Youtube videos would randomly stop working or the browser itself would just suddenly stutter or freeze and you would have to terminate it/restart it. Trying to dock a browser tab takes so long that it skips the animation. Trying to display your browser fullscreen on one monitor swaps it to the other monitor to fullscreen instead.
Two updates ago Youtube no longer loads videos, it's just a blank spot where the video should be. I can watch videos through embedded links on other websites (like 4chan) for some reason, but going to the actual youtube site no longer even renders the video. I can turn off all my extensions/adblockers and it still won't work.
Chromium on Mint works fine even with adblockers/extensions. The Windows version doesn't have any of these problems either.

>>103087669
>>103087617
alternatively you can use the ntfs3 kernel driver now for better performance

>>103087617
I've used NTFS for that exact purpose for a while without any issues. Just make sure when you shut down your windows OS, it doesn't go in to hibernate mode but fully powers off. There should be something in the power management settings about that. Otherwise your storage partition might not unmount which can lead to issues if you modify the contents in linux.

>>103087811
Distro provided Firefox builds are always stale (unless you're running Arch, etc). Always install from Mozilla directly. If you're running a Debian derived distro like you are then add their PPA.

>>103087897
I installed LibreWolf on Ubuntu, and it's just as shit.
Ungoogled Chromium is the most consistent.

>>103087422
I use Rhythmbox because I gave up on Linux music players and it's the one that has all the features I need and works flawlessly, the only problem being that it looks like shit and has no customizability.

Out of the ones I've tested, Strawberry wasn't better, Audacious is barren and it's winamp skins are meh. Kate looked promising, almost like Musicbee, but I felt it was slow and it crashed on me a few times. Amberol, the player by debussy, looks great but has zero features and didn't support my .ogg files.

So yeah, Rhythmbox for listening, and Beets for library management. Auxio for listening on phone.

>>103088007
*Kate, sorry, I meant Elisa

>>103088007
>>103088012
Thanks for the review anon, I'll have a look at some of those. My main issue with rhythm box is that changing metadata is cumbersome, so maybe if I use Beets as well I won't mind as much.

>>103087955
Of course Librewolf is shit. They include a bunch of privacy schizo defaults that render it worse in almost every way and often end up breaking things.

Use plain, vanilla Firefox.

Finally have an excuse to try out Waterfox now, works pretty good so far. Not having the Youtube video issues that Mint's Firefox is currently having. And it's basically Firefox so it's very familiar. Some extra privacy options too. Will test for a bit (At least until Firefox fixes their youtube video situation).

>>103088572
LOL maybe I spoke too soon. Basically the same issues Firefox has (like choppy video, lag, stutter)...but at least the videos are loading on youtube's website...Maybe I should try chromium? I wonder if the fullscreen mode switching over to the wrong monitor is a Mint issue. I know Mint hates Display Port for some reason.

>>103088572
Did you try the vanilla Firefox repo yet? It should work. There is something wrong with your system if it's not working.

>>103087617
I assume most people would use Windows' own NTFS partition as the shared storage.
But if you absolutely don't want to *and don't care about journaling* -> go for exFAT. People like to shit on *FAT*s as they don't journal but IMO that's up to the end user to decide. Not having journaling saves on writes and not all storage devices undergo constant I/O when operating.

For reference, I'm running KDE and Palemoon on a system with 8 GB of RAM and zero swap usage is being used. I even have Mpv running in the background playing a stream right now so it's not as if the system is doing nothing either.

If you have less than 8 GB of RAM then you probably shouldn't be using that system in the current year. Upgrade or replace it.

There's more things to run than just a browser, and you have more issues to worry about if you're reaching 8gb ram usage with just a browser.

How's everyone's experience with BTRFS? I either hear that it's very reliable or it destroys people's drives. I'm not sure who to believe.

Nah that's gnome. I don't think KDE really cares. There's still stuff on Xorg that still has no proper replacement on wayland for yet, mainly stuff like xrdp. Though i heard that GNOME can now do an xrdp equivalent on wayland.

>>103093846

Is it good idea, to get USB 3 flash drive and format it as linux swap and use it?

>>103094460
Not if you want it to finish compiling this year. Good write speed is kind of a requirement for swap. You can add a swap file without making new partitions on your existing storage.

>Lumina and CDE above modern KDE
Yeah, this person has no idea what they're talking about and it'll not jump Wayland. Try using half of these desktops on a HiDPI display with fractional scaling and they'll fall over immediately.

>>103094420
KDE already has Krdp. It's very experimental still though.

I'd personally, rather see them implement more of the Wlroots Wayland protocols so Wayvnc can work. VNC is enough for 90% of usecases and doesn't have stupid requirements like needing a .h264 extension barely anyone implements for RDP.

They could have two remote desktop solutions then, one for simple usecases that maximises compatibility (VNC) and the other for when you want the full works with audio, etc, provide the client supports it all.

>>103094318
They have better compatibility than GNOME. What you're describing is GNOME.

KDE only breaks things in major releases such as the move to Qt 6. Patch releases shouldn't break anything, that'll a bug if that happens, please repost it.

>>103095033
Is krdp able to be run headlessly without already being logged in?
>VNC is enough for 90% of usecases
Not really.
Rdp is a better protocol than vnc, and supports more features which vnc doesnt

>>103095049
I'm not talking about compatibility, I'm talking about basic features break every time. Like Plasma 5 Wayland would just randomly lose focus in Thunderbird windows, #wontfix. Move to 6 and now window rules don't apply correctly to Firefox PiP windows. GNOME doesn't pull shit like that IME, but nobody wants to use base GNOME.

Gdbus. Which is it. A tool or a lib?
I watched a talk and the Spaniard said it's a lib.

Is this misinformation?
It was gnome asia so it could be Mal information?

Also, yes PS1 will probably be the best. You could give gen 6 a try, but PS2 games are tough to emulate unless you have a dedicated GPU. You'd probably need at least a 1060Ti to run PS2 games smoothly. You can also try playing PAL versions of games if you experience slowdown.

>I could emulate DS
I don't doubt that you were able to do this, but DS is a not as graphically-demanding as the gen 6 consoles.

Video drivers or compositor, which is technically part of your video driver stack.

>>103099083
Very true.
If you want to pretend the feature doesn't exist like you would do in GNOME, you can do that though. 90% of the time I see someone having issues with KDE it's because they're doing something weird or deviating from the defaults and end up creating problems for themselves.

>>103097860
>Odd since I could emulate DS with melon, and DS should be seven gen.
in this context, he's referring to home consoles, handhelds are another story
in terms of hardware, the DS is approximately comparable to the 5th gen of home consoles, they're usually a couple generations behind just because they're handhelds with weaker, battery-powered hardware

There's a known issue about this if you have steam overlay disabled for some reason. You'd think it'd be the other way around but nope.

>>103099518
It's a non-steam game launched through steam with Proton GE 9.7 using "DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.syncInterval=0" mangohud gamemoderun %command%" as launch options. Steam overlay is disabled.

Okay so I figured out that creating a udev rule can fix it

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002", ATTRS{avoid_reset_quirk}="1"

BUT it seems like this rule is not processed during boot and it still throws the message 30 times during boot and slows it down. Then lvm2-monitor.service just hangs indefinitely during boot (just before desktop would load). So I opened my case, unplugged the thing, rebooted and masked lvm2-monitor.service and it can at least boot but the problem is not really solved.

I'm assuming Arch because your post is very similar to previous ones involving Arch, mention what distro next time.

Disable session saving, do not re-enable after, it's broken. Make sure systemdicks is up to date because lol dbus. Disable/remove SDDM and install/enable another DM (lightdm, ly, ...) and reboot.
If you get stuck switch to another vt with Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/3/4/5/6/..., log in and

# reboot

.
The sporadic desktop failing to load and only getting the panel up at log in (black background) issue is known on X11 and remains unfixed. Relog and it should work. Switch to Wayland unless you have a reason to stay on X11.

Any dm that isn't broken. They really (d)on't (m)atter.
Pick one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_manager

>How to disable SDDM?
For example:

# pacman -S lightdm
# systemctl disable sddm
# systemctl enable lightdm
# reboot

Pick the right session (Wayland/Plasma/etc) from the dm's menu and log in. For lightdm it should be on the top right; it's usually paired with Xfce, but the DE choice is irrelevant.

Personally since I don't use Plymouth either I just use Ly, it's really basic but that's also its strength.

It doesn't, if it works correctly. It's not a case of "KDE not liking lightdm", that's not how display managers work.

Most likely you're seeing some sort of graphics driver crash and it probably only happens on Arch because of its bleeding edge nature. Lightdm is a shit display manager anyway though, it still runs everything as root:

in general it doesn't matter if it's a port from something else, like a port for ps vita is just a ps vita game, the existence of a ps3 version doesn't change that. in some cases it could indicate being easier to emulate, like if it's a port of a game originally for a much older console, that has had little to no changes made to it, basically underutilising the new console, though not as easy as running the original game in an emulator for the original console (assuming emulators of comparable "quality" for lack of a better term, that is as efficient relative to the hardware of the original system)

>Arch updated Plasma
oh god here we go again

I've been struggling with this.
I'm trying to get this
https://archive.org/details/yugioh-power-of-chaos-joey-gx
To work with bottles/wine.
I get black screen but the sound and game itself run fine.
Any idea where to start fixing it?

I've searched for explanations of the write hole problem, but never saw any good ones. Seems that https://chat-gpt.org/chat helped explain to me why COW filesystems don't have the write hole problem:
>>ZFS is a copy on write file system and is not subject to the write hole. Explain the write hole problem to me like I'm four years old.
>Okay, imagine you have a coloring book and you're coloring a picture with different colored crayons. But sometimes, when you're coloring really fast, the colors don't get saved properly and they get mixed up or deleted. That's kind of like the write hole problem in file systems. But ZFS is like a magic coloring book that always saves your colors perfectly, so you never have to worry about them getting messed up.
I suppose this would be an OK answer if I was that old.
>>ZFS is a copy on write file system and is not subject to the write hole. Explain the write hole problem to me like I'm eight years old.
>Imagine you have a really big coloring book that you share with your friend. Whenever you want to color a picture, you have to tell your friend which picture you're going to color so they can write it down in a special book.
>\Now, if you decide to color a picture and your friend is writing down the information at the same time, there's a chance that your friend might not finish writing before you're done coloring. This can cause a problem because if something goes wrong while your friend is writing (like their pencil breaks or they get distracted), the information might not be complete and your picture could get messed up.
>\That's kind of like the write hole problem in a file system. Sometimes, when a computer is writing information to a file, something can go wrong in the middle of the process, which can cause the data to be incomplete or corrupted. But with ZFS, this problem is avoided because it uses a special technique called copy on write, which makes sure that the data is always written correctly without any holes or mistakes.

>>103102847
It's a patch release, you retarded frog. Expect bugs to be fixed.

>>103102957
Is this more of a GNU/Linux comment or a BSD one? Depends on which group uses ZFS more (user counts, and ZFS is the default filesystem in BSD). So in my understanding, COW FSs work like this: every time data is write, it's write twice. The first one is the source and the second is the destination. After it verifies that source and destination are the same, it deletes the source copy leaving only the dest copy. With other filesystems, if you write data, it only writes it once, which could result in problems such as the write hole. I've read that the write hole is rare. Also, I think I'll use ext4 and not zfs on a SSD because those have a limited number of writes. (Additionally, remember that SSDs can get corrupted if they are left unpowered for a year or longer.)

>>103103000
>Expect bugs to be fixed.
And a few more to be introduced, as usual.

>>103103013
That's not what copy on write means at all. It can actually reduce writes because data references the original extents and is only copied/duplicated if it changes.

You can make a reflinks of two files and the only thing that gets written is a small bit of metadata. This is in contrast to non-CoW filesystems that copy and duplicate the entire file (thus writing more data)

>>103103038
Pick your poison. The argument that they shouldn't fix bugs because they might introduce more of them doesn't really hold water. Yeah, they might break something new, expect it to get fixed in another patch release if they do (usually they get fixed pretty quickly in the git master branch but shit distros like Arch won't do backports so you have to wait for the actual release to get the bugs fixed)

*every time data is written, it's written twice

>>103103053
>That's not what copy on write means at all
Ok. !w:
>Copy-on-write (COW), also called implicit sharing[1] or shadowing,[2] is a resource-management technique[3] used in programming to manage shared data efficiently. Instead of copying data right away when multiple programs use it, the same data is shared between programs until one tries to modify it. If no changes are made, no private copy is created, saving resources.[3] A copy is only made when needed, ensuring each program has its own version when modifications occur. This technique is commonly applied to memory, files, and data structures.

The rest of your post: sounds like you're describing turning the dedup option on which is off by default. However, I've forgotten or didn't know in the first place.

>>103103066
Arch does backports though, see the recent intel wifi issues.

>>103102957
The second explanation isn't very satisfying either.

>>103103144
So wtf is cow? Seems to be block sharing or file sharing thing in a deduplication sort of way. If a modification is made, then it copies on write. Why does CoW avoid write holes? Guessed that I knew, but it was the wrong guess. See above vague allegorical explanations for why it avoids it.

not him, but yea, copy-on-write is precisely what the name implies, when you write a change to a file, rather than overwriting the original data, it writes a new copy to a fresh location. it doesn't write twice, however
as for reflinks and deduplication, deduplication is when you take two or more duplicate files or files with partial duplicate content, compare them and remove redundant copies. reflinks on the other hand have the same result, but are created directly in a deduplicated form, that is, when you take a file and create a reflink of it, it looks and acts like a regular copy, except the contents are shared/"deduplicated" with the original. however unlike a hardlink, they are independent in that if you change one of them, the changes are made elsewhere (CoW) and only affect the file you made the change to
basically they act like two normal copies, but any identical parts of their content are only physically on disc once

>>103103298
>Why does CoW avoid write holes?
in a non-cow filesystem, you make changes in-place, right over the old data. this means that if that write fails or is interrupted, that part of the file is simply corrupted
with a cow filesystem however, if a write fails or is interrupted, the old data remains intact, as the write never touches the original data

>>103102957
>why COW filesystems don't have the write hole problem
They can though. The important concept here is transactionality. Which means an operation either completes fully or it never happened. Copy-on-write is a prerequisite for transactionality. Because you can't undo a write operation if you overwrite the original data in place.

ZFS avoids the write hole by using transactional writes, and it lowers the performance impact of waiting for transactional writes to complete by having variable stripe size. This means synchronous writes cause huge fragmentation. Which is why other CoW filesystems like btrfs and bcachefs still have the write hole. Eliminating it adds a lot of complexity and IO amplification.

>>103103511
Understood (99% of your post). Not sure I agree with this chatgpt answer about a different question that I had like a month ago:
>>Switch to previous transaction ID in ZFS?
>It is not possible to switch to a previous transaction ID in ZFS. Once a transaction is committed in ZFS, it cannot be rolled back or accessed directly. However, you can use ZFS snapshots to revert to a previous state of your file system before a particular transaction occurred. By reverting to a snapshot, you can undo changes made to your data and return to a previous point in time.

It says that you must have a snapshot to got back in time with the FS by 30 seconds, 30 minutes, 30 hours, whatever amount of time. IF I remember correctly, I saw Wendell/Tier1Techs guy go to a previous ZFS transaction with no snapshot.

>>103103703
>Once a transaction is committed
Key phrase. When ZFS writes something, it opens a transaction and then closes the transaction after the write completes. Until the transaction is committed the filesystem retains all data necessary to undo it. This is automatic and not user visible.

>>103103544
>I’ve heard that it was a legal requirement that the US-based Linux Foundation remove those slavs
The Linux foundation doesn't develop Linux. It's a fund raising organization. It could be dismantled and reincorporated in a neutral country, minus a few Western companies who aren't even it's largest contributors.
>Do you expect them to pay a fine or go to jail for Russians?
I expect Linus to move somewhere he can maintain neutrality, say an expat enclave in SEA, or step down. Moving Linux from being the universal kernel to the GAE kernel is incredibly damaging long term.

I don't think you understand the question.

Wine keeps my system from turning off, I know it's that for sure because I get the stop job right after restarting the pc, opening the wine program then shutting it down.

>>103106010
And yes, I have added it to KDE's logout scripts you can find on autostart. The script works perfectly fine when I run it on the terminal.

Wine doesn't shutdown properly and hangs my shutdowns/reboot, I know it's wine because I can open the program through wine after a fresh boot and if I try to restart without closing it first i'll get a stop job that takes the whole 2 minutes 100% of the time.

Archiso uses a squashed root it unpacks into RAM every boot, it's designed not to persist.
