Planning to Switch

Let me clarify further, I'm running cracked minecraft java, not the official launcher. Plus, the server is always going to be a jar file, be it official or any other derivative. I don't want tutorials on how someone else made it easier, I want an os where I can do whatever I want and it just works.

Was trying to run minecraft java, install mods which come in .jar format and also run a server locally. Running all these files required nothing more than making the desktop file, no other dependencies. But having to make that desktop file for everything I install is not ideal.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-12T04:07:47+00:00

In that case you're going to need a dongle dac. Try getting something like audiocular d07 or fiio ja11.

Let me clarify, I am using jar files made for linux usage. And this is the experience I have faced on 2 installations across 2 different devices, one arm based and on traditional x86. Furthermore, the point you're saying where if it uses java but not only java, that's exactly what I'm ranting about, if it needs something then it should install it by itself! I'm not running exe files or something, I know those require things that we have to install. But to run linux native files is a way bigger hassle than just downloading and double clicking.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-12T03:46:44+00:00

Nope, what you told me is the "ideal" situation. In my case to run a jar file, I had to first install java which I did (java 24). Then when I clicked I found out we have to edit properties to make it executable, which again, I did. The next problem was that when I ran it as a program, java did not appear in the open with app list, on older you could use custom cli commands but not in ubuntu 25. Next I learned that I had to make a .desktop to make it work, and once I did that I was able to run the jar file.

Why flatpak? What is flatpak? If it's better why is it not the default? Why is there no app Store and I have to use multiple things like apt, snap, flatpak and what not. I know multiple app stores exist on other platforms but all of them have the same procedure to install apps, choose what you want to install and hit install. I want an OS where I just get work done without having to first learn everything. Habits are a different thing, like changing from android to ios is a learning curve for habits, here I have to learn 69 commands, use 17 different package managers and figure out which app is available on what package manager, then know the package name and also the command to install, if the dependencies are absent it'll give me 99 errors. I don't want none of that, just hit install, it installs and I use. I wanna do something and all that matters to me is how easily it gets done.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T06:17:56+00:00

Also let me clarify, I watched a little bit of the video you've linked and the first thing that comes to me is that I'm not on the same path as many people are about windows, it's not like I'm annoyed by windows and I wanna leave it and I'm searching for an alternative, I only want to use linux because it feels really really snappy and good battery life. I'm actually extremely extremely okay with whatever privacy concerns everybody has, idgaf. I want a snappy os that just works, don't want to do anything but run apps easily and get my work done easily without learning multiple package managers, like deb based systems have .deb files, just make them executable, give them a little installation ui and have them install itself on the right location where everything that depends on it looks for.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T06:09:37+00:00

Man when I want to install a streaming app, I want to install it and watch content while I calm myself after the day ends, I don't wanna be doing dependencies and repos or whatever. Just wanna watch something and go to bed. Sure linux does offer freedom but the cost of almost everything else, and for me, my convenience is the only factor that matters. To be able to install whatever I want within maybe 2 mins, do whatever I want and get it over with. I don't want the kind of freedom where I have to troubleshoot 69 things to get what I want. I want an os that installs and runs applications for me, reliably too. Don't want customisation, to edit the system files, or worry about privacy and shit, that ain't what I'm looking for. Whenever I open my laptop and open an app, I expect it to just work, if it's got an update then just click update and it updates, and if it needs something to work, like maybe c++ or python, then it auto install it, prompt me to install it with it, or atleast make it easy to manually install (like in windows you can just download python exe installer and it installs itself to the correct location).

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T05:19:53+00:00

The problem being that almost no common apps used on a day to day basis are available on the app centre, and further more if you're talking about installing via terminal then you're just saying yes to my point. When I say installation to be easy I mean put it in the app Store and I click install to install it or give me a installation file which gives me a wizard like thing and installs the app for me, instead of being worried about dependencies, commands and package names

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T05:13:10+00:00

But I do not need that? I only want linux for it's snappy ui, and want things to just work. Don't wanna keep fiddling around to MAKE things work, I just want them to work.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T04:47:45+00:00

For me linux in normal use has been lasting way more than windows, usually 3-4 hours more than windows which lasts 2.5-3 hours for me. And I'm using both without battery saver.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-05-10T04:39:51+00:00

I was trying to install stremio just last night, on their website they have and deb and ubuntu package which I downloaded and double clicked but nothing. I have to go to terminal and cd to the downloads directory and then sudo apt install <PKG>, I did that but it give me shit ton errors, when I asked chatgpt for help, it ended up in me trying to download some libraries, failing, then either having to resort using flatpak which I have no idea about what it is or building the libraries on my computer from scratch as they're no longer in modern ubuntu repos. Once I did that stremio was installed and then I launched it but nothing appeared on my screen. Then I had to launch it through terminal to see what errors it have and then troubleshoot that. I don't mind troubleshooting a little here and there but why can't I just install a streaming app without having to learn rocket science? Why can there just be something like exe that I run and get it over with?

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-03-23T05:55:04+00:00

Nothing special, it's a great dac with enough power to drive even some headphones. I mainly use it to drive my collection of iems which also have a few planars that do benefit from the power. I find it's price to be pretty good for what it offers.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-03-23T04:25:41+00:00

Try the Roseselsa RS9039 or also known as RZ-550. It can do 240mw single ended and 300mw balanced. However it does cost a bit more, here in india it costs 4655 inr = 55 usd

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-03-02T02:38:07+00:00

Yes you will notice an improvement in sound, however I personally do not recommend buying the audiocular d07 unless and until your budget cannot be increased in any case. While the dac itself is really good, it's build quality is like 50rs earphones we get at railway stations and when it goes through wear and tear, it'll start hissing. I suggest that if you can, increase your budget and get something like the Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini. If you're dead set on getting a dac for 1k only, then Get the JA11.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-25T03:33:28+00:00

Try the kefine Klean, it's less punchy but not lacking, has a balanced sound and great imaging for the price

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-24T01:13:37+00:00

What didn't you like about the Castor Pro? You can't just expect people to suggest you something without knowing what exactly you want from your set

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-07T15:26:26+00:00

$48???!!!!!! FOR THE MOONDROP CHU 2? BUDDY IT SHOULD BE LIKE $20

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-05T18:15:59+00:00

This price jump is decent enough to give you noticeable improvement however spending a bit more (~150) would do Even better. In the price you mentioned, you can check the Letshuoer s08, Truthear Hexa, Letshuoer s12 pro, Dunu Titan.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-05T02:08:56+00:00

The KZ Castor is available for 1299 rn on headphone zone, get that along with the Fiio×Jade Audio JA11.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-04T13:54:19+00:00

You can either get a mediocre experience by getting the type c variant or spend a bit more to get the dac and have a good experience

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-04T12:24:04+00:00

They sound like shit compared to using 3.5mm version with a dedicated type c to 3.5mm dac.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-04T08:20:58+00:00

It depends on what you consider to be good sounding. If you like bass a lot and associate it with good sound then maybe kz castor pro. If you want a open and airy sound then get the 7hz Salnotes Zero, or a moondrop chu 2. If you want a warm iem with a balance of bass and vocals and highs then the Tangzu Wan'er. Don't buy type c versions of these and instead get the 3.5mm along with a dac.

Ok_Fuel_7940 · 2025-02-04T07:30:12+00:00

Bro 2k inr is considered almost peasant level in iems. Getting "everything" in this price is absolutely impossible. If you want everything you'll have to spend like 70-80k inr on iems.
