Fedora KDE Plasma Edition Aims To Appeal To Multimedia Enthusiasts & Content Creators (and gaming)

Jump

  • Codecs are a legal grey area that many distros are choosing to include out of convenience since there has not been a problem before. Since Fedora is associated with Red Hat/IBM which have a lot of money and are bigger targets for lawsuits, they are choosing to play it safe by not officially supporting many codecs. It is the same with openSUSE.

    • The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training

    Jump

  • Brave is great for less techy people because it's defaults are good enough. It's not necessary to tweak settings and install add-ons to get basic privacy. I definitely prefer Firefox, but it takes some knowledge to get it to surpass Brave's defaults.

    • What android client do you use?

    Jump

  • Liftoff for now. It's the least buggy Android client I have come across. I definitely prefer Memmy on iOS though.

    • Linux phones

    Jump

  • They are not ready for regular use yet. Performance is poor and battery life is bad. It's fun to play with my Pinephone and watch the software slowly improve, but there is no way I could use it as my primary phone.

    • Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Apple Music because it doesn’t shove podcasts down my throat. I also prefer the algorithm on Apple Music over Spotify. Spotify is too safe by only recommending music that I already like, while I have discovered new genres that I now love from using Apple Music. Spotify is just too repetitive in my experience. I do miss the Discover Weekly playlist though. That was the one thing that helped me discover new music on Spotify.

    • Fairphone 3 gets seven years of updates, besting every other Android OEM

    Jump

  • I hope they bring the Fairphone 5 to the US in a reasonable amount of time, because the 4 is just too old for the price being charged.

    • Audiobook Hosting

    Jump

  • Audiobookshelf works great and is very easy to setup using Docker. I get most of my audiobooks through Downpour. They have a subscription that gives credits to redeem for audiobooks similar to Audible, but they are drm-free. I download the audiobooks and move them to my NAS that has Audiobookshelf running on it. Audiobookshelf has a web client and apps for Android and iOS (TestFlight beta).

    • Anyone else frustrated by cross contamination from Youtube, Youtube Music and Youtube shorts?

    Jump

  • That's one of the most significant reasons I stopped using YouTube Music.
