    I think PopOS can safely assume that its being installed on a laptop with only one drive. If there’s multiple drives involved then the setup gets far more complicated as you then must go to something like an LUKS on LVM setup. Basically, for a desktop there’s no safe defaults for FDE.

    I’m pretty sure all the major distros have FDE as an option in the installer its just never on by default. Fedora does the same but with BTRFS on LUKS. I’m sure Debian does. Someone else says OpenSuse does. Maybe some derivative distros don’t but I suspect the ones with an graphical installer do.







  • MPD + some GUI client. Plattenalbum is one such client but it’s an outlier because its album based when MPD is playlist based.

    • directories for music or playlists are configurable
    • supports alsa, jack, pulseaudio, and pipewire
    • album art is up to the client
    • deleting music is up to the client.

    Cantata is another GUI mpd client that I’ve used and enjoyed. It’s unmaintained but would other fit your needs. I also recommend installing mpDris for mpris support.



  • Fish, no plugins. The POSIX differences are to your advantage when using interactively. Its amazing how much larger expressions you can construct in the repl before you start moving to a proper file. Its like moving from pure mysql or psql to mycli or pgcli.

    When you add it all up, the amount of effort you’ll expend to learn fish are small compared to the amount of effort you’ll save by trying to recreate the UX with plugins and custom scripts.
