Visual Studio is not available on Linux and not really working in Wine, sadly. You can use IntelliJ IDEA as a good alternative, it supports Linux officially and has a Flutter plugin.

For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect. It is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian, so you can follow most tutorials written for either distribution (like the installation instructions for IntelliJ IDEA or other software that is not available from the APT package manager).

snap instead of deb

Berny23 OP , 18 days ago

It always uses local lyrics when available, otherwise you have the option to right-click sidebar → search for lyrics (supports Genius and lyrics.ovh).

These are the options for metadata:

For actual tag management, I've used puddletag only. But there is some batch rename functionality in this player:

My music library is local. I use Jellyfin only for movies and series currently.

Berny23 OP , 18 days ago

Yes, you can even generate new playlist with right-click from an existing one (most played etc.).
You can also combine multiple playlists/libraries to another playlist like this: s"My First Playlist" s"My Second Playlist" a

Thanks :)

Berny23 OP , 18 days ago

Me too, I found it on the bottom of a audio player list in the Arch Linux wiki.
Oh, I use Arch btw. xD

Berny23 OP , 18 days ago

You can use either y> or y< in the generator settings of a playlist to sort by year. You can use ypa to sort by year per artist.

Berny23 OP , 17 days ago

Have fun!

Berny23 OP , 17 days ago

I hope that too, this is by far the best player I have tried on Linux.

Berny23 OP , 17 days ago

Glad you like my recommendation! :)

Berny23 , 19 days ago

This app is a godsend.

A bit OT: I recommend this loudness equalization preset: https://github.com/Digitalone1/EasyEffects-Presets

Will probably be fixed with driver 555 next month (explicit sync support).

Berny23 , 19 days ago

Spot on analysis.

Berny23 OP , 1 month ago

Whoa, that's a lot of comments. Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I will think about this.

Windows licenses are cheap

Bullshit, keys are not the same as licenses. A license costs ~150 Euros.

Berny23 , 1 month ago

I ... bought an official digital Windows license back then before I even thought about Desktop Linux. Now I feel dirty ...

Just to piss Microsoft off, I used the activation script for my GPU passthrough Tiny11 VM instead of simply signing into my account. ;)

Berny23 , 1 month ago

That's true only for AMD or Intel users.

Using Wayland with KDE Plasma 6 on Arch btw. But I installed the old NVIDIA driver 535, waiting for explicit sync in 555 to fix flickering in games.

Additionally, I had a 3 port FireWire card that I used for digitizing old MiniDV camcorder cassettes. But I had to remove it because someone fucked something up in kernel 6.5, crashing the whole boot process after a few milliseconds.

Berny23 , 2 months ago

Yeah, also waiting for it. Until the protocol is implemented, I have to use driver 535 without HDR support. :(

Berny23 OP , 2 months ago

Ok, thanks. I already found the tool nvidia-all, which allows me to use old driver 535 until the big wayland regression is fixed (hopefully soon).
With that out the way, switching the rest of my software to Arch should be easy.

Berny23 OP , 2 months ago

Great to hear.

Berny23 OP , 2 months ago

How good is your performance (especially gaming) with btrfs compared to ext4?

Berny23 OP , 2 months ago

Thanks for the hints, great list! :)
I'm a software developer and Ubuntu/Windows sysadmin, so reading wikis, writing shell script and tinkering with the OS is nothing new to me.

On my private Medion laptop, I even got vanilla Arch installed the hard way by following the guide on the wiki (without install script). I took a picture back then while I was creating partitions and the filesystem:

I did this as a challenge for myself and to try hyprland. Didn't have the time to fully customize the setup, so I chose EndeavouOS as it provides a good base.

Berny23 OP , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Just an update, I successfully switched my whole user data to EndeavourOS and installed almost everything I have used before. Works nice and smooth with KDE Plasma 6 in Wayland (although an NVIDIA downgrade to 535 is required for gaming until the latest driver is fixed).

(I disabled the Polonium tiling for the screenshot.)

Edit: Switched to Arch today :)

Is a PPA planned for Kubuntu 23.10?

Berny23 , 2 months ago

Does it really work on the latest driver? Does it fix flickering in Minecraft and other XWayland games?

Berny23 , 1 month ago

I tried it now with these options and the latest driver 550.67. Nothing has changed, the terrible flickering is still there in all XWayland games and Steam is completely corrupted now.
