Thanks! I posted that comment from KBIN, not sure why it messes up once it gets to Shit Just Works.

I already left the US with no plans on living there again if I can make it work. So nothing would change with my life plans.

Moving beyond linux mint to other distros so I can learn more and have a more customizable linux experience.

I got fed up with windows 10, and then windows 11 pushed me away from ever wanting to use windows again.
Linux mint has been fun but its a bit too barebones when it comes to customization ( though that's one of its strengths since its so easy and straightforward for a longtime windows user to move over to linux)

Also I've had a bunch of trouble with Nvidia drivers and playing new games in 2023, so I'll probably buy/build a new linux desktop in late 2024 on AMD CPU/GPU.

If you see the detail photos on the zillow listing, you can tell they just painted over the brick.

Look at the zillow listing, they painted over the brick with white paint.

I can't play starfield right now because of issues with the Nvidia 535 driver causing the game to crash on starting a new game.
Downgrading to the older 525 driver lets the game play but with severe performance issues and a level of input lag and freezing that is toxic. My playtime says 4.5 hours but 4 hours of that was restarting the game with different drivers and toggling off different settings in the game for the absolute lowest performance. I'll just have to wait a month or so until the bugs are worked on and new driver versions are released.

Summary: If you are ok with playing games a month or two after release with a potential for some driver issues, Nvidia will probably be fine. I can play every older game in my steam library using Proton (which is built in to steam, you just need to turn it on in the game properties).
Otherwise it is a risk and you will always run into issues with Nvidia's proprietary drivers and new games.

I'll be getting AMD processor and GPU for my next desktop gaming computer.

Soon we'll have tiktok reposts and twitter screenshots, just the way I (dis)like it.

/r/republicofmusic info: "The Republic of Music is modeled after /r/music, but with a twist - only content created or published within the last three months will be allowed, and reposted or rehosted content is prohibited.

Audio, video, news, reviews, art, pretty much anything music-related is allowed in this subreddit as long as it is no more than three months old. For example, a review of a Beatles album published last week would be allowed, but a Beatles song itself would not.

For music videos, the published date of the video itself is what counts, not the published date of the song the video was made for (which may be released to the public many months before the video is even created)"

  • What do you think?
  • Do these rules make sense for a magazine here on the kbin and on the fediverse?
  • Is three months too fresh? Not fresh enough?
 

How do you discover new music?

I'll start us off:
I used to be pretty active on /r/RepublicOfMusic but I haven't had a reddit account in years.
Now I mostly discover new #music from my recommendations on SoundCloud.

  1. I have a few playlists that SoundCloud auto generates
  • Daily Drops - #newmusic based on my listening history
  • SoundCloud Weekly - weekly playlist based on my listening history
  • Mixed for Me - Based on something I liked or listen to recently
  • Feed - a list of new tracks or reposts from accounts I follow
  1. My YouTube Subscriptions

  2. Shazam - Shazaming whatever stream or video I'm watching for the background music. Also have the app on my phone for whatever cafe or restaurant is playing music IRL.

  3. Balamii - 24/7 Internet Radio - A London based music platform championing emerging & established artists from across the underground music community through radio, video and event production.

Where do you find your new music? Do you have a favorite blog or website you go to?
