Ok, I don't know anything about the guy. He may be the biggest fuckwit ever but the page is an accurate up-to-date list of distros confirming whether or not they are implementing the age verification bullshit.

Slskd

It uses the soulseek servers. Can run your own instance in a docker container. I listen to metal daily and you can find anything from other soulseek users.

There are many distros that have said they will not implement the age attestation/verification feature into the distro. Many distros are not developed/located in the US, therefore they do not have to comply. The link below is kept updated to show which OSes will or will not comply

Btw, Pop OS has said they will comply and add age attestation in case you weren't aware.

True, it keeps getting better and improved every day.

Came to Linux about a year ago and couldn't really be happier. Will never use Windows again. Everything runs better, some things take a little work to get working but worth it in the end to avoid Microslop and I feel like I actually own my pc and not forced to do what Microshit forces. Also use GrapheneOS on my phone and its a blessing as well having no Google crap dependencies, etc.

Been using Wholphin for a few months now and its been great. Like it alot better than the official Jellyfin app, although the official app is still good too.

If you're big into music, you should add slskd to your stack. Its not automated but you can find anything on it. It uses Soulseek servers and is p2p like old Napster, etc.

For usenet, I like SabNZBD better than NZBGet, just my opinion but maybe check it out.

Could possibly be a driver issue or something with Linux, Idk Im not entirely knowledgable of it all yet, only been using Linux about a year. I understand though, there were times where I almost considered reinstalling Windows to run something but just stuck it out until I got something to work if it doesnt. Village for whatever reason worked fine for me though without issue.

Weird, Village runs just fine on my CachyOS setup.

Do it! You will not miss Microslop. I've been running Linux for about a year now and do not miss Windows. There's some learning to do and some things may take a little work to work right but thats being resolved more and more every day and its worth it. I run my main gaming PC on CachyOS and my media server on Mint and its just great. Will never go back to Microshit.

Awesome, thanks
