Came here to say the same. Such a great distro, and it’ll be an easy switch from manjaro.

I’ve been running it with btrfs and it has been rock solid stability wise. If you go btrfs I recommend grub btrfs for easy boot time snapshots and btrfs-assistant in the aur if you want a GUI to manage btrfs maintenance.

Yeah IMO they need an app that can download/manage models directly

This is amazing! If you are looking for US EN and use a phone with arm64 I can recommend sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-kristin-medium and sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-norman-medium.

Edit: I don’t seem to be able to get the engine to show up as a tts engine but it works well within the tts app itself. Hopefully I’ll find a fix I’ve been searching for a good tts engine for android eBook apps.

Edit 2. Fixed I mistakenly downloaded the standalone version from https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk.html instead of https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html

Title is probably true, but also it’s less likely for the NSA to leak your info than say an ISP that openly sells your info. I highly doubt that the NSA sees someone pirating Photoshop as a priority. VPNs can help with preventing a random ad from logging your real loose location, have built in DNS ad block, open up region locked content plus a list of other benefits.

VPNs absolutely help with general privacy, like not putting your personal phone number on a public registry. They are not intended to perfectly hide you from a super power’s intelligence agency lol

You can always just try endeavouros. Its pretty much arch with calmaries installer. It even uses official arch repos

Intel GPUs look like a great value. And AV1 hardware acceleration is a game changer

Take 2 people that have not used gimp or krita. Ask them to daw a circle, and see which software they are able to do it in.

Gimp is a ux nightmare (or at least it used to be i haven’t used ot in years) I will try gimp 3 when it comes out in 2037

I doubt they really care, there’s still a way (to my knowledge) to download audiobooks from audible to mp3. You have to dig a bit to find the option from what i remember. This just makes it easier and in chapterized .m4b goodness.

If anyone is into selfhosting things I recommend audiobookshelf if you want to self host and stream audiobooks. Such a cool project!
