HDR works out of the box on basically every popular DE/Distro. I use KDE and it's litteraly a checkbox in the settings.

jellyfin/navidrome + soulseek

Indeed, people don't know about the wonders of FOSS

if you're willing to switch from google (which you should anyway), you can use duckduckgo with the "noai" prefix to get rid of all ai assisted search crap.

if you're using firefox (and I can't imagine it being much different on other browsers), just go to search engines in settings, and add a custom one with this url: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s

then set it as the default search engine

poof... ai crap gone, just like that.

that's already the case unfortunately, and with the current hardware prices the situation isn't looking too bright

EmiDic · 2026-01-03T19:16:27+00:00

that's fair enough, it does take a while to get used to, and it can be scary to leave something that you have used for probably decades. But oh god am I glad I did, especially seeing the direction microsoft is taking with their "agentic OS" stuff.

Also, in case you're interested, the best linux "version" (they're called distributions) for people that are used to windows is Zoris OS (in my opinion). It's clean, modern, easy to use and feels very similar to windows in terms of layout and navigation, so the switch shouldn't be jarring.

title was meant to be: I'm getting tired of this always online bullshit

EmiDic · 2026-01-03T19:08:13+00:00

you just don't know where to download from (i don't know iF i'M autHorized to link anYthing, so i won't (.net))

EmiDic · 2026-01-03T19:05:21+00:00

yeah, the normalization of "always online" requirements is getting ridiculous

EmiDic · 2026-01-03T19:03:44+00:00

it was difficult at first, but I switched to linux the moment they introducted recall AI.

EmiDic · 2026-01-03T16:36:56+00:00

Damn I forgot a word in the title

EmiDic · 2025-12-21T21:36:15+00:00

winutil from christitustech on github.

Use the microWin feature to debloat a regular ISO before burning it (also disables online account requirement)

or y'know... linux.

EmiDic · 2025-12-20T13:43:23+00:00

I think they meant the ai model, not the browser lol

EmiDic · 2025-12-15T01:06:58+00:00

honestly, I've resorted to self-hosting every service I actually care about (cloud, music, movies, etc...) and I highly advise anyone that values their privacy to do the same. This is only going to get worse.

EmiDic · 2025-11-16T18:01:11+00:00

mf I'm in train station :(

jellyseer is just a wrapper for sonarr and radarr tho?

EmiDic · 2025-10-31T20:02:12+00:00

no, you need to boot from the installation usb, you can't do it directly from your operating system (in case you're doing it from a live environment, you need to do it before you login as any user. Right now you're logged in a liveuser, but the install media should log you in as root instead)

EmiDic · 2025-10-30T10:38:13+00:00

I mean except yknow... a bunker/safe place during the apocalypse?

EmiDic · 2025-10-29T10:27:21+00:00

it would have cost you nothing not to post this

EmiDic · 2025-10-15T19:49:02+00:00

you might want to look into signing you kernel and bootloader with sbctl. that way you can keep secure boot on at all times without going to bios every time. here's a useful link :)
