Flatpak just sucks for us with potato level hardware. It is much slower and crashes. Some things just didn't work until I got mine built from source using AUR scripts. I had checked the memory usage, the flatpak version of EasyEffects took much more memory than the native one. I don't want Linux to become Windows with this Flatpak nonsense that wastes my desktop's resources more than it should. Whenever I played music with EasyEffects flatpak, my CPU usage went up literally 80%, but with the native build, EE now does not go beyond like 5% CPU.
Any package that will force me to use Flatpak, I simply won't use it at all, or find some workaround. I will not donate a single penny to the project itself, but I will to the one who found the workaround.
Yup, love the project. One thing that has forever kept me bothered is there not being any auto-save and/or persistent undo/redo; however it's been a while since I've checked out what's new in the newer versions, so perhaps my issue is already resolved.
I wonder what is its main selling point as a distro now though
I wanted to experience Arch and wanted something simple and quick (I was busy those days, so DIY Arch wasn't a choice). I tried EndeavourOS, but it wasn't simple: they made many configurations to the system, which ruined the vanilla experience of all the WMs and DEs. I started looking for alternatives, and I found Crystal to be attractive and well-maintained, so I went for it. I think its selling point is being as simple, friendly, and vanilla as possible.
I have seen couple videos, one was a drone killing Russian soldiers, other ones were for porn. So it may just be lack of interest, or lack of convenience to share videos.

Files added from Sonarr goes to torrents/tv and that for Radarr torrents/movies. Once the torrent client has downloaded the files, Sonarr and Radarr hardlinks the needed files to media's respective folders. I have set media/tv for shows and media/movies for movies on Jellyfin. Everything is automated, I love it.
