I use it mostly for YouTube music (which costs almost the same as Spotify), no ads on YouTube is a nice bonus.

Hahaha, too stable and boring… Do you use OSs as a form of entertainment? No wonder why people can’t take Linux enthusiasts seriously.

Way easier, the catalogs are ready for you, you don’t need to download anything in advance, you can use it in any device too.

If you use real debrid, there’s no need for VPN either. So it’s cheaper also.

It’s also very low in maintenance, I touch my configuration every 3 months to update my details and that’s it.

Stremio + Real debrid.

Stremio is a platform to watch any media you like (works very similar to Plex), you can use it as it is, and install the plugins that are more useful to you (torrentio for example). If your country has strict laws, then you can use real debrid to convert the torrents to direct downloads, you just need to open an account in real debrid, pay a few dollars a month (no need to pay for a VPN as direct downloads are ok), and link your account to stremio, and then you’ll have access to lots of content.

But I only use it to watch the latest linux distributions, nothing like spending a Sunday afternoon watching Fedora 40 while it’s raining outside.

You basically need professional headphones and speakers to notice any difference, my guess is that 99% of Spotify customers have headphones that didn’t cost more than $100, so why would they care? I mean, I have nice headphones and speakers and after some blind tests I couldn’t notice any difference.

In Spanish “morning” and “tomorrow” are the same word “mañana”… It can be confusing.

No one has said it’s Linux’s fault… But unfortunately it’s still an issue Linux users have to deal with.

Also, not everyone is the CTO of their company to demand other suppliers. Most people are stuck with company policy that they have absolutely no say in it. Companies are not democracies.

I use chatgpt for coding (millennial). You still need to know how to code though, because 50% of the time it doesn’t work properly. You need to explain the nature of your variables, and the overall process you want to achieve. But I still save a good amount of time, because now I don’t need to remember the specific syntax for a particular function, and it has saved me reading documentation because in can tell how some functions work by context.

Not learning how to code because of ai is like not learning math because there are calculators, sure, you don’t need to know the multiplication tables by heart, but you need to know what multiplication is and how it’s used to solve real world pringles.

Because all your colleagues and collaborators use it because it comes free with the company…
