More often than not, adverts are about brand awareness. You might not buy that car based off that advert right now, but when you do decide to buy a car, you'll remember that brand name and they become a consideration.

I hate adverts.

He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn't call him a neckbeard.

I met him once. Very nice guy.

I'll keep it short and sweet.

I've been using Manjaro for about 6 years now.

When I had an Nvidia GPU, it would break after quite a few updates and need a rollback.

Then I moved to an AMD card, and I haven't had any issues at all.

Like...at all.

The End.

Not seen this before, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. This does work. You can force the dock to a specific screen, but then it doesn't autohide (dodge) as it still thinks the other random screen is the primary and only triggers off that. Still, this may be the answer if nobody can suggest an alternative.

I had a similar problem a while back and it turned out to be my Asus motherboard's "AI" frequency control hard locking the system. Took me days of troubleshooting and headaches to figure this out. Ended up switching it off in BIOS and everything is stable now. Just my 2c.

I was in your position a few years back. I missed MediaMonkey when shifting to Linux.

I found Tauon media player was a pretty solid replacement for playing local and network files, but ultimately settled on running Navidrome server and Feishin as a desktop client. I haven't looked back.

For organising your collection, I'd look at using either Musicbrainz Picard (GUI based) or Beets (CLI, and it's a little complicated at first). I generally use Beets with Musicbrainz database, and the Discog plugin for anything not found by MB.

I haven't found anything that is a complete package like MediaMonkey, but with a bit of effort and once the parts are set up, it's so much better.
