How do you get dark mode in Strawberry under KDE? I remember trying to follow some guides and not having much luck. But that was a long time ago at this point. Does this “just work” now?
Thanks! I checked and actually, dark mode was already on. Huh. I guess I haven’t tried since…I don’t even know. Maybe I didn’t have qt6 installed last time?
This a plea for help: is there any other distro that does immutability like nix without the configurstion of nixos. I love nix but its just so complicated. When something breaks i spend half an hour just to fix some small problem because i have to get the config then rebuild then test, etc. Idk if i was the one making nixos how would i fix it tho. Also its too teminal based for most people.
There’s the WIP NixOS-based SnowflakeOS that aims to make NixOS approachable for mere mortals but that’s still declarative configuration and of course still NixOS under the hood.
There’s a bunch of immutable distros out there that use OStree or some other imperatively managed snapshotting mechanism such as Fedora Silverblue or VanillaOS.
Nothing honestly. Couldn’t find a music player that doesn’t look like a file manager, has good search and queue features and doesn’t make strong assumptions about how music is organized. Tried to run Musicolet through waydroid but it doesn’t support Nvidia gpus
Stability and configuration options. I already used Jellyfin but for me is not stable. It often crashes and configuration options are a mess at the moment.
Seconding this. MPD + ncmpcpp + an MPRIS plugin. With the latter I can control the music playback through global keyboard shortcuts and the system tray UI if necessary.
I’m also curious if anyone has any recommendations on this. I’ve used it for so many years that it’s hard to switch to anything else! I’ve just been running it through Lutris on my main computer.
Rhythmbox. It was pre-installed on Ubuntu back when I was on Ubuntu, and I kinda just got used to it. Strawberry looks really cool though, I may have to give it a try
Rhythmbox is great and works well for editing tags for my 15,000 track library. I went to Lollypop for a while trying to get some more features but I ended up back at Rhythmbox.
Let’s just hope it’s better than the music brains tagger itself. It’s been some years since I’ve tried it. I’ll admit. The mess it made the last time that has made me reluctance to give it another chance despite generally supporting what they do. I may just be a little OCD about my collection sometimes lol. But if it can actually get the right artist information, etc. Allow me to store stuff in a particular directory structure relatively easily and get cover art. It might stand a chance. I will give the AUR a check here in a bit to see if it has it.
Edit I will give it a little bit more try. But I haven’t found any way to configure the data that it’s pulling etc. Which is really going to limit it for my purposes. I have a lot of different things. That it’s just not getting correctly. I tried only a few albums. But the data it pulled was for a different release with much fewer tracks.
For what it’s worth, I have this problem sometimes when an album has multiple releases and you can choose which release to pull tags from via the context menu in Picard. There’s also a pretty powerful scripting language that you can use to specify the directory and file re-naming structure as well. It took me a while to get my structure set up properly but once I did it’s been a life saver in keeping my files organized.
If there’s something in particular you’re trying to achieve that’s not working I’d be happy to try and help!
I hadn’t seen that yet. Although unfortunately, my experimenting with the tool ended abruptly last night when the LCD panel on the system went out. I may install it on a different system and see if I can figure out how to select releases that should solve the issue.
