Thats what I was doing, but I don't see any shuffle button. Does one appear for you?

Edit: This is what I see, if I'm missing it please let me know! There is the shuffle toggle at the bottom, but to use it I still have to manually choose a song, then skip it for the next one to be random.

OP said breaking the kernel, not the machine. The computers would be fine, its pretty damn difficult to brick a computer using software, at least by accident.

Normal users will not break their kernel, op is likely doing some advanced tinkering. I have been using Linux for years and am definitely an advanced user and Ive broken my kernel zero times.

Qobuz apparently has a connect feature in beta, I've seen a few people say it works very well so hopefully it'll be public soon.

Tidal won't play lossless in a browser, Qobuz does it with no issue and I am enjoying the new Zen widget with it.

Just anecdotal, but I transferred my fairly small library of about 500 songs from Tidal to Qobuz and nothing was missing. I even added back some songs I lost going from Spotify to Tidal. Nothing super niche though.

I don't know how it used to be, but I've just switched to it from Tidal and am generally enjoying the UI more. Plus it has functioning search, unlike Tidal. My only issue is the lack of a shuffle button on my favorited tracks.

I do agree that Matrix isn't a good replacement for Discord, but Revolt is largely centralized, so I have my doubt's about it as well. If users started to switch to it, how would the primary instance handle that level of traffic?

Shame its not federated. Makes the self hosting aspect kinda unappealing if I'd need to access a different instance for different servers.

For anyone else who decides to give Qobuz a try, I wouldn't recommend using TuneYourMusic to transfer playlists and favorites. A ton of songs were transfered but just say unavailable in Qobuz. They have a partnership that let's you transfer for free using Soundiiz, so I'd try that instead.

Otherwise I'm enjoying it so far. The UI is nice, and search actually functions, so thats a big plus over Tidal. You can listen to full quality audio in the browser client, which I like since Zen Browser just added a nice media player UI in the side bar.

Edit: Retried my transfer using the free Soundiiz transfer and it worked perfectly, even found a song that TuneYourMusic completely failed to transfer. My only remaining issue is the fact that there's no button to shuffle your favorites tracks. You have to choose one, then shuffle. Minor, but something the other options offer.

It should work fine, but you might have to manually install the udev rules after creating them in distrobox. Is there something you need that can't be accomplished with systemd.mount or editing /etc/fstab?

Bazzite docs also recommend this tool - media-automount-generator - which seems to accomplish a similar thing.y

You probably won't need distrobox much unless you're a dev. Most packages will be available as a flatpak or in homebrew. You could also consider using Nix, which will most likely have every package you'd want.

One of ublue's offerings are probably best. Immutability is great for resiliency and updates are easily rolled back if something were to go wrong. Bazzite is great for gaming, otherwise checkout Aurora and Bluefin.

I do prefer and will continue to use an open source browser, but a proprietary browser can still be private. Orion can be verified to not have telemetry.

Also, they have said it will be open sourced. Its not uncommon for software to be made open source later on when the company is more prepared to handle the work that comes along with that.

I love high skill ceiling 1v1 shooters, surprised I haven't heard of this. Looks awesome.

Edit: Gave it a try, its a blast! Already grabbed the DLC for the extra maps. The native Linux version had some input issues for me. Mouse input felt like it had acceleration and angle snapping. The Windows version works well in the mean time.

I generally don't either, but I do install one when using a terminal that has multiplexing. The ssh multiplexing daemon is part of the kitty binary, so it needs to be installed to work. Not really different than installing Tmux on one.

Paragon is definitely the comparison one can makr to Deadlock, but Deadlock feels a lot better (imo) and puts more emphasis on the shooter aspect of the game, both in shooting and movement options.

Is this to help fix the codec issues Proton has, or is that unrelated?

Not defending the mobile game like currencies because they are obnoxious, but similarly to Marvel Rivals (both NetEase games), it is actually pretty generous with the free content. The shop skins are overpriced and obviously meant for whales, but you get a lot of free shit. I assume the battle pass will work like Rivals where it doesnt expire, has a lot of skins, and you get most of the currency back.

Its a hell of a lot better than Valorant, which is the most similar game gameplay wise.

Also, the kernel level anticheat doesnt matter when playing on Linux where it can't run at a kernel level.

Heroic handles them!

Honestly what's the point in having it? Heroic is already a better option. GOG Galaxy is a simple launcher, if they port it to Linux then it would also need to be a Wine/Proton prefix manager. Its not a massive amount of work, especially since umu-launcher exists now, but its just pointless effort IMO. Unless they're willing to invest the same amount of work into it that has gone into Heroic and Lutris, it'll just end up being the inferior option.
