I believe Syncthing isn’t on iOS.

On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)

Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.

Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there’s no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.

There’s browser extensions for it

You mean… a prompt that needs a second click to run the program?

If you run mpv https://url it will stream it from youtube and play it in mpv, without having to wait for the whole video to download first.

at least everyone in the US, probably in several other countries as well

Mine also partners with streaming services like hoopla and kanopy so I can stream like 10 movies per month.

What I do is have a separate /synced/media/music folder on both my pc and phone, and use syncthing for that and don’t worry about the default Android music folder.

For playlists I do that on my pc with the music player Strawberry, I can add songs to a playlist and save it as a .m3u file in that same /synced/media/music folder. The playlists still work on my phone since it’s just local paths from the root of my music folder. I would do playlists on my phone as well but I use JetAudio which is pretty buggy and doesn’t let me modify .m3u playlists, although I’m sure some other player would let you create and modify them.

I’ve played Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 on Linux and both work fine.

It doesn’t really matter which distro you use for gaming, just get one that is popular and well-supported such as Kubuntu or Fedora or Pop!_OS or whatever. Ones like Arch and Gentoo would be pretty complicated so I wouldn’t recommend those until you feel comfortable.

I’ve been using NixOS and I’ve never had to worry about my system, because even if I did break it I can just wipe it and reinstall from my config files and it’ll be almost exactly the same as before.

Most distros are almost exactly the same, NixOS and Guix are a bit different but if you get Ubuntu or Fedora or PopOS or something they all work fine.

I like using NixOS on my desktop, and it does have a rolling release channel, but it can be pretty complicated to learn. Messing around on the Macbook would be a good way to learn and try it out, and then copying your config to your pc would be easy.

Yeah, NixOS has both stable and rolling release channels so you can choose which you want to use, and you can even use unstable packages while on the stable channel. And you can just not update for a couple months and it’ll be fine.

Also can try setting Linux as the default boot option

I just use Git for my nixos config files.

I switched to NixOS almost two years ago, and it’s really nice being able to define my whole system in a single set of config files. If my hard drive dies or I switch computers, I can just reinstall NixOS using my config files and everything will be set up the exact same way. It’s extremely solid and I don’t need to baby my system because if it breaks I can just reinstall everything back to normal.

And I can share parts of the config between devices, so when I change my Neovim or VSCodium configs using Home-Manager it gets synced to my other devices, as well as being saved as part of my NixOS config files.
