Either is fine.

I tend towards ubuntu lts pro with automatic upgrades and reboots. Much like the guide you mention pretty much everything targets ubuntu lts.

Separate drives should avoid most of the issues, if paranoid you can just disconnect a drive when switching.

Depending on what you are using linux for running from a usb drive for that could also be an option, something like AntiX-26 with persistence on a usb stick covers a lot of ground.

Yeah, I’m not about to rush in but I suspect over the next year or so I’ll be letting an llm loose on my old crates to see what happens and MacGyver some sort of Dread Pirate Robot that can run locally and is a frankenstein of beets, plugins and other projects that will eat music and shit albums.

A mishmash of beets and the old ways got me to where I am, navidrome with a bit of mpv & kodi.

I’m currently trying to ignore it and plan to return with a new workflow over the next year or so. Beets will be part of this but also need some python, shell glue and other tools working together, and things are changing at little faster than they once were.

I spent a little time a few months back grabbing NPR and KEXP audio at scale with yt-dlp and having them land with decent tags as navidrome compliant albums and now feel a little more confident incorporating oddities into sacred realm of jazz flacs.

But the one folder to rule them all is still in the planning stages.

I think that’s why peeps install stuff like gnu/linux and then slap Nvidia & Steam on them for lolz, they often can’t live without pretending they are a wizard or a soldier in some novel machine generated propitiatary hallucinations from an app store no matter the cost, Gabe needs better yachts.

When I worked for Royal Maii the logical structure of delivery was governed by how a postman could end the round at the precise moment the off-licence opened.

I’m reading a 3 A4 pages from my 12yr old at the moment, the mid point of his current post-apocalyptic world building wants feedback.

It’s 95%+ early years test compliant script, but cool to see the words come alive on occasion and become art that goes beyond what fonts can manage.

UTF-8 O not really a drop in replacement for the Ensō

Mum was moaning about this last night reminiscing about the good old days when the act of writing actually involved writing instead of whatever the kids duct taping emotes, memes & comic sans to some predictive text via a spellcheck on the socials for points clusterfuck is going on these days.

A friend had had the gall to send a birthday card that had rather clearly been ordered online and shat out of a production line with fake handwriting…the ultimate insult.
