For your own sanity and wallet, it is best that you do not investigate further.

And yet, whenever I get a new keyboard or caps there is a nontrivial chance my wife will steal them.

Me too, but considering how many questions had AI in it…

I wish there had just been a single answer that said “Focus on Firefox and not AI”.

Just a counter anecdote for others, I haven’t had an issue with Quod Libet with over 100k tracks and have been using it for years so YMMV.

Quod Libet is my current favorite. It gives me a lot of the features and layout I used in Foobar2000 in Windows and isn’t gigantic.

Or Dark Matter!

The full list of good shows they cancelled or cut off early is long and painful to read.

I keep seeing these comments about Nvidia making shit fall apart for Linux, but I’ve been going strong for several years with Nvidia GPUs without problems. I also didn’t have any issues with AMD either mind you, but I have swapped GPU’s three times in this system: from Nvidia to AMD and back to Nvidia. I must have some great luck as I doubt these commenters are lying.

Yes, they are still an issue. It is irritating enough that I have currently zero snaps and would rather build from source if snap is the only binary option.

I just got a laptop with 64GB of DDR5 ram for $870 or so from HP, so I wouldn’t take these specific examples you found as gospel.

It runs fine for me on Linux, same as it does in Windows, always has since release. I am using an Nvidia card though, so maybe I lucked out.

Weirdly enough, my favorite (QuiteRSS) isn’t on here.

I have used an GTX 3070 with no issues for the past 3.5 years, before that I used an AMD Vega 64 with no issues. I think if I were buying a new card and could stomach the prices I’d lean towards a Radeon 7900 XTX.
