One of those song was made by the band Equilibrium

It might be because I'm using Arch and everything has to be done manually 🤷

Good for you if you have it figured out ! Welcome to Linux !

If you want cloud, if you have a RPi somewhere, you can add PiVPN and from there you use syncthing from anywhere.

Your mint setup is fine to start learning, as others have said. Start with something simple : python, javascript, ...

For programming, there are tools available on every OS. However I have found that those tools are easier to use on Linux. Okayish to use on MacOS. Programming with Windows, on the other hand is, well... it certainly is possible, but... see for yourself.

For instituitions it varies depending on each one of them. Usually they have their own tools because it is easier to organise a class if everyone works on the same IDE but if you get good enough it does Not matter what is your OS/IDE of choice. VSCodium is nice but anything like kwrite/kate/gedit/geany is good enough. Hell, even nano can get the job done.

I have found that, despite being more recent, linux kernel 6.1 LTS works better with a core2duo than WinXP or Win7.

However, when using a DE, I cannot use KDE or GNOME on a 2GB RAM computer. It is simply not enough. On base, it uses around 1.6GB which is almost 80%. But XFCE works okayish.

On a 4GB+ RAM PC, it works flawlessly. Whether it is an older or modern CPU.

While the point of obsolescence stands, it is not enough. For example I have used a GSI android 12 on an huawei android 8 phone. It has worked better than the android 8 version.

But... 2GB of RAM is not enough to accomodate a modern android experience, on that he is right. If you want Android 12/13/14 you might want to have at the very least 4GB of RAM. Swap spaces help but are not enough.

If I remember correctly, you can define the modifier key in KDE. Not sure though, you might have to test it out.

That would be the fastest way. Apart from that, it's very much possible by binding every possible action to different keypresses. That would be long and stenuous.

He made himself the greatest joke ever.

It is definitely not beginner-friendly. But not undoable.

Library's very good. It has every song from the major labels and a very decent library of independant artists.

Song suggestions are... fine ? I mean, it will suggest songs from a broader spectre. It's very cool for somebody who likes to discover new genres that kinda relates to what you are listening to.

But if your aim is to have the most similar music to what you are listening, and also have a very closed suggestion list based on spotify and youtube-like algorithms, then qobuz won't give it to you.

To me, I'd rather have a wider gamut of suggestions than always the same songs going round. So qobuz all the way.

Qobuz, for audio quality.

Spot on

It's also because Rust had made it easier to develop cross platform and the Rust compiler is more efficient than java
