Exactly. Microsoft never does anything that isn’t in their own financial interest.
Even if other people benefit from it, it really is all about ensuring that they have profit growth year after year.
So I can’t trust anything that they ever do and nobody else who cares about freedom in technology should either.
You got to give us some context my dude. Why is funk whale not recommended by you?
I tried navidrome but the issue I ran into is that it would not play individual songs or sort through them, it would just play my albums in alphabetical order.
And I don’t know as far as jelly fin goes, I like it as a video platform but for music I couldn’t get it to just randomly display the songs and let me shuffle through them.
I’m looking for a music server that can see all of my songs and music and shuffle them and play them. Does anything like that exist?
Well that’s just like, your opinion, man.
For the people down voting me, the person I’m responding to’s handle is literally “my opinion” and I’m making a joke off of that

Cheapest TV you can find that has the specs that you are interested in combined with a $50 pawn shop laptop and an inexpensive wireless keyboard and mouse.
Linux is optional but highly encouraged.
Connect that to a USB dac which is then piped into an amplifier for 2.0 sound.
I could probably rig up a subwoofer for a little extra oomph but none of the amplifiers I found at the thrift store have a way to turn off a powered amp or power an unpowered one.
Which is fair. Fedora never called itself red hat. CentOS never called itself red hat.
Suse is a pretty good company and deserves the right to their intellectual property and trademarks. OpenSuse shouldn’t make a big deal out of simply changing their name.
They could rename themselves to OpenSusame and keep rolling without any issues whatsoever.
I’d be okay with it even if it were on a time delay.
Like if device manufacturers had to publish their software in order to no longer officially support the device that would be a welcome compromise and at least a step in the right direction right?
