  • I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

    I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.

    Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

    EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

    I’m not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

    I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that’s sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

    The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It’s even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don’t know if it’s safe.

    I’m not good at code but it looks like it’s OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

    Let me know if you come across something though. I’m also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

    EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.








  • I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

    If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.
