I use Rhythmbox to edit/import/maintain my music collection and sync my iPods, and then I use Lollypop to play my music from my computer. Lollypop has next to no of the aforementioned features but its just nice to look at and simple.

I thought I heard of a Linux distro where your login password decrypts the drive like a Mac does

What’s the advantages of NixOS? Is it really private?

Does Arch have drive encryption integrated? Or do you have to use LUKS like manjaro and decrypt the drive before booting into it?

Is that Chromium based?

How does NixOS compare to SteamOS on the Deck? Does it work just as smooth? Also, is EMUDeck compatible with NixOS?

Is the fact that you’re using a bridge at all apparent to your WhatsApp friends? Or is nothing different as far as they are concerned? Also, does Element have a setting to prevent pictures and video from being automatically downloaded over cellular data?

OK thank you, I think that answers the question for me, I might want to go with something more user friendly to start with. I really like Manjaro but want to get away from all the criticisms its had lately.

how do you think it would be going from Manjaro to Arch? would it be a tough learning curve or fairly simple?

I do want disk encryption enabled, I just find the boot & login process on Manjaro a little clunky and I’ve heard its a little simpler on other distros.

Basically on Mac, your login password decrypts the drive which is what I’m hoping for with a Linux distro, rather than having to decrypt the drive and then log in

Does Arch have built in disk encryption?

I’m on Manjaro but I’m sick of having to unlock the LUKS drive encryption every time I start the computer

It can be a fun project to map out the area you live. I’ve been working on that over the past couple years and it is fun.

Over in Europe, OSM Is much more mapped out in my opinion. It would be good to see North America catch up.

Sure, but graphene OS just has some really thoughtful privacy focused features, and I’m looking for a Linux distro that would have similar features if there is such a thing.

One thing I love about graphene is by default, the MAC address is randomized for every single connection. Also, the Bluetooth can be set to time out and turn off after a certain period of not being used.

Yea I am looking for something a little more general purpose

I loveimy steam deck but for your purposes, if you have literally any other device you can run steam link on it, connect it to your TV, etc. And that would probably be better performance assuming that your computer has good specs

Does the Linux Hardware acceleration mean some games will work better on the steam deck ?
