More glitz and glam than many other distros I’ve tried. It was the first one I tried when trying to leave Windows. Eventually did Mint, Pop, Nobara, and Garuda. Chose Mint to stick with for now and haven’t regretted it.
If one of my less savvy friends asked about switching to Linux, I would mention Zorin as a possible option simply because it goes out of its way to feel familiar.
You probably already know, but FoundryVTT is pretty fantastic. The software/base VTT itself is not open source, but the rule systems and modules (QOL add-ons) mostly are. I self host my own server.
Started with Zorin but had a rough time. I didn’t realize until actual months later that my issues were due to a hardware fault and had nothing to do with the OS. By the time I realized, however, I had settled on Mint. I’ve since tried a handful of distros but always come back to Mint because I’m so used to it now. I do recommend Zorin for its level of polish and apparent desire to simplify the transition for folks coming from Windows.
I’m pretty new to Linux (currently on Mint) and I have yet to get Easy Effects to work. I’m certain I’m the problem, but I’ve tried following guides and videos, yet as soon as I try using it, my friends on Discord say my audio becomes garbled and robotic. One of these days I’ll sort it out. One of these days lol
I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.
I am. Paid plan equates to like $2-3 per month. Tied it into Tailscale (I think TS has official docs explaining how) and haven’t given it another thought.
Building a PC this week and putting Mint on it after a lifetime of Windows. Gonna leave a little bit of partition available in case I absolutely need to dual boot, but I’m hoping anything that comes up can be resolved with Crossover, still need to run a trial for that. I was hoping SteamOS would come to desktops in time, but alas.
My wife and I use Immich via Tailscale to avoid the need of any proxying and serious account management. That said, I have yet to fully transition from GP because I have at least one shared album that a few dozen people regularly access. Still need to test setting up a shared album w/ reverse proxy for this one. But then if I want to share another album I’d likely need to set up another proxy…or see if shared albums share a common URL I could use as a catch all. Still need to test.
Been using Logseq since February and it’s been a game changer. My only gripes are a) inability to access via browsers, and b) lack of a quick note function. Sometimes I still use Keep to jot something down and transfer later. Logseq spends a solid 5+ seconds syncing upon opening, which can feel like an eternity when trying to quickly log something.
Seems like this might help with library management / metadata handling. Can anyone here vouch for it? Using jellyfin for my music library at the moment and I have found it’s music management to be lackluster. Tracks with features showing up as distinct artists seems to be it’s latest hurdle.
