Just obering around
For a lot of people, it’s a community thing. I’m a member on Orpheus and they have a lot of great community stuff like Album of the Month, user made scripts, tutorials, forums, etc. They can also have a lot higher quality content and moderation because they’re so “exclusive”. And, for music, a private tracker is gonna be 100x better than a public one or Soulseek.
Yeah, just make sure you read up on the study material and understand it all well enough. I believe they hold interviews during the weekends and the wait times vary throughout the weekend but for me I had to wait about 3 or 4 hours before getting an interview.
OPS is pretty easy to get into. The wait times for interviews can be long, but much much better than RED. The actual interview is pretty easy too imo. Just make sure to read through the interview prep.
This would depend on the distro you use. Most distros will require you to enable a non-free repository before you can install anything that isn’t Foss or open source from the official repos. You could also use an FSF approved distro. Keep in mind, the FSF will only approve distros that don’t include any non-free anything in the official repos. Besides that, you just have to know the licensing before you install it.
Dude! I just got an email that my OneDrive is being deleted! I didn’t know I even had one…
Soulseek and Torrent sites would be my suggestion. I’m able to seed 24/7 and would be willing to help if you want it.
The demon turned off their breaker
Sorry to break it to you bud, but after some 3000 downvotes I don’t think anyone really agrees with anything you’ve said, ever.
I wouldn’t say this has anything to do with the Linux kernel itself. I would make the request with whatever app handles your auto-login (probably your login manager). Also I don’t see the point of a keyring password if it’s never entered. I think it would be by design that the keyring stays locked when no password or authentication is provided.
I mean to use something like htop, btop, or psensor to check how much of your RAM, CPU, GPU, etc is being used along with temperature. Also, what do you mean your RAM always shows as full? I get that Linux “uses” it all but most resource monitors should be able to tell how much is actually being used for programs.
Maybe checking your computer’s resource utilization could provide some insight.
I would go with option 4. I have a 1TB NVMe with /boot, /, and /home. Then I have two 1TB SATA III SSDs, one is for games and the other music. It makes more “sense” to have / and /home on separate drives but I don’t recommend this personally because / doesn’t need a whole terabyte of storage so it’d just be wasted. Swap is optional (I don’t use it even on Gentoo). Me picking option 4 over 3 is just personal preference though. I like having /home smaller because it just holds basic stuff and then I have my 2 extra drives as bulk storage dedicated to something.

Qtile
XMonad (Note: never used this so take this how you will)
There’re many more window managers out there but these are the ones I’ve personally used (besides XMonad) and know the most about.
If you don’t like a built in status bar then you can disable it in the config and use another one like Polybar. Distrotube (on Odyssey or Youtube) also has really good videos on all of these window managers and more which I really recommend you check out if you haven’t already.
Personally though, I think Qtile will give you the best experience.
Personally I would recommend Linux Mint. It’s based on Ubuntu so any issues should be easy to find and fix online. It’s very similar in terms of the actual desktop to Windows instead of being completely different like Pop!OS. You should also be able to completely avoid the command line as well though I do encourage you to have your friend learn at least some of the basics so he at least knows how to use it.
Not sure how to help with this but as a temporary workaround you can append an “&” after the command to make it run even after the terminal is closed. Should look like steam --restart &.
Ah, so apparently it’s been removed from the Ubuntu repos. I would try apt-get qtile if you haven’t already and if that fails, I just wouldn’t try qtile. I’m not sure why they removed it from the repos though.
Install instructions? I just installed it with my package manager and it worked fine.
Hoopla seems okay for people who listen to a lot of mainstream stuff. I’ve never actually heard about it before now or used it so everything I say is just coming straight out my ass, but, it seems their library is very limited. Orpheus has a very extensive library with almost everything on there having a lossless flac version. It’s still nothing compared to Soulseek, but as long as you’re into bands/artists with more than 5 listeners in their lifetime, you’ll be able to find everything. It all just comes down to what you’re looking for though.
