Lidarr works best with usenet. There are good dedicated private torrent trackers for music though.

@nogrub

No, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip.

@dumptruckdan @ZeroCool @Moc

Out of curiosity, how so?

@dukk @kjetil

Yeah #Fedora is nontrivial when dealing with proprietary drivers. It doesn't just work out of the box. Your best bet if you want to use Fedora and have an easier gaming experience is #Nobara.

@WarlordSdocy @ExperimentalGuy

I have the same and opposite issue.

Part of the reason that I am always using #linux is because so much of my workflow these days requires Linux, that when I play something like a #bethesda game (modding them is just less of a hassle on Windows) it just feels wrong and uncomfortable.

@mexicancartel

Yeah mastodon does that by default and I am too lazy to remove them...

@Amity_Noceda @AbsolutelyNotCats

This is why I love NixOS so much.

@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.

Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.

There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers

@helmet91 @Xylight

I have only really used upstream distros (specifically what I've used is debian, open suse, Arch, Gentoo, and nixOS). I've never had audio issues, except when I first started using Gentoo, as I was missing some compile flags.

That being said I only started using Linux 3 years ago.

My understanding is that with Pearson stuff the professors often setup the HW through it, so unfortunately this is often not possible.

@ShittyRedditWasBetter @Malfeasant

How does it prevent cheating exactly? I can just fire up a windows VM and it won't know that I am looking stuff up even when proctoring I'd assume.

I've been fortunate to not have to deal with Pearson, so I am not talking from experience.

@ebits21 @burgersc12

Oh shoot I didn't know about C-n. Thanks for that.
