No problem! It’s worth noting that both of those non-FOSS plugins I mentioned are both free as in “free beer”, so if you need a good auto tune and/or fancy chorus, check those out!

Awesome, thanks for the advice! And I will for sure let you know when I upload it somewhere, but I can tell you the tools I use right now! I’ve got Ardour for my DAW, I’m using a mix of the Ardour community plugins, LSP parametric equalizer, Calf compressor, and the two non-FOSS ones are Graillon 3 auto tune and Acon Digital Multiply. Drums are via Hydrogen, with the Ian Paice and Travis Barker drumkits from sourceforge, and I think I yanked Dave Grohl’s toms for one song. Some other various drum effects I got off of Pixabay. The main album art is going to be handmade because I suck at GIMP, but if I get enough support to make like, a vinyl pressing or something, then I’ll include all my failed attempts at album art in the liner notes lol

Yeah, I just wanted to hit all the ask communities, get a broad spectrum of answers.

You’re naming them out of the stuff that specifically isn’t space!

Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!

I have it alised to orphankiller

You are absolutely correct, I apologize.

I use DarkReader on Librewolf, works just fine. In fact, all of my extensions work.

Mull browser is deprecated, Ironfox is the community fork

Oops, they forgot. GIMP 3.0 now set for release in 2028!

Interesting, I’ll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it’s just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn’t unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the “ca-certificates” package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it’s not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn’t match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won’t claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it’s on the “immutable” thing that’s popular right now. I’ve tried a few immutable distros, and they’re not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it’s been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I’m kinda in btrfs’ corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That’s hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.
