If the only reason google doesn’t have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox “exists”, then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can’t exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)

LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I’m not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium’s upstream.

If you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.

Nginx was the easiest to setup for me at the time and I’ve no reason to fix what isn’t broken.

I guess I’d ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I’d love to share it with more people

You can use any DE you want on just about any distro you want

I have a google TV device and I didn’t even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too… I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven’t seen ads in ages.

Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?

I’ve had good luck using phind.com for things when I need help because it actually cites sources which give you further context.

However, I don’t get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it’s faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

I make use of deezeloader, deemix and/or streamrip, which is what I use because unlock Spotify deezet, qobuz and tidal (supported by streamrjp) have true lossless flac audio available.

Lidar can be extended to work with them instead of torrents.

How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Not Compatible with what exactly? It works on my 20 year old ipod using rockbox, any modern players should support it.

Since FLAC tend to be around 1444kbps I use 144kbps opus and that makes them abour 10% of the size.

Using a live usb is the correct answer since compiling a custom initramfs would require one anyway and just add more steps… Not sure what gives you the impression using a liveusb is “more complicated” but its not.

Keep trying, check protondb for the games you want to play, popos is probably the best, or garuda has support for nvidia out of the box

If nothing else just try back once or twice a year whenever you see a new release from the distro you want to use. The 1660 is a pretty common card so in general it should be well supported.

Can you upgrade the desktop? What speed is your laptops WiFi?

I just use rsync manually until I have syncthig working but these don’t really solve slowdown issues and aren’t mounted. I would look into a better NIC and/or storage for the desktop or possibly your router.

Try using something like iperf to measure raw speed of the connection between your 2 systems, see if its what it should be (around 300-600mbps for wireless to wired locally) and try to narrow down where the bottleneck is.

Frp or nginx are both available on openWRT to do what you want.

Does your device have a headphone jack?

Glad you found what you need. Ive never needed any browser plugins to use JDL2, it just works with copy and past and monitors your clipboard,

You can get torrents full of the archives from sites that used to host tabs for GuitarPro and pirate that software, the one downside is , its like tens of thousands of tabs so its a bit much to organize.

Songsterr seems usable to me with adblocking on, Also I often just search YouTube and find videos with tabs displayed.

I’d just host them in a library only visible to mom and members that would want to view it.

Also consider the unintentionally comedic value of such films, they’re sometimes fun to watch just because of how bad they are.
