YES, foobar2000!

I also gravitated towards Audacious, but I foobar2000 was 10/10. Might consider running it through Wine, since Audacious is not quite there unfortunately

I mean, AmogOS is pretty good too

That’s true, I was looking at it from a wrong point of view

If they’re acting this way it means that either they’ve already seen a decline somewhere (or at least not as big of a growth) thanks to other storefronts (and maybe other companies’ launchers like Rockstar and similar), or anticipate things will get worse in the future. I get it, as a company they want to make more money YoY, but this is definitely an ugly move. Guess I’ll add another reason not to buy from them!

I see, thanks for the clarification. That does sound a bit shitty on their part, especially because when most people are asked “gaming on PC?” they answer “Steam”. Lower prices elsewhere might have given a better chance to other storefronts, although I don’t think that would have made a huge difference, since Steam is THE storefront

What’s that about price parity? I’ve often bought games from 3rd party sellers like Fanatical, to name one, specifically because their prices were lower than Steam’s. What am I missing?

Nah, all Linux is good. I don’t really need to use Win and since all my HDDs are for media storage I have no reason not to use them on Linux only. They’re only mine and don’t have to hop from PC to PC. Thanks for the input though

Yeah, most options were greyed out. I’ll have to visit the wiki of my distro haha thanks for the tips though

edit: actually, just checked, EXT4 isn’t greyed out, but it says “internal disk for use with Linux only” and since it’s an external/portable HDD I didn’t pick that option

Yes, I’ve basically moved permanently over to Linux and do 99.9% of the things on it. Had to boot Windows for the first time in days only to check whether or not my HDD died after I couldn’t mount it

I’m still in the process of optimizing stuff around Linux (e.g. media drive filesystem) but I’ll get there haha

I’ll keep it in mind, but since I’m getting new, bigger drives I think I’ll just wait for and format them directly in the better filesystem. I tried formatting an external HDD and I think I could only pick FAT or NTSC (I’ll double check), hopefully on the internal drives it will be different!

I’m on Pop!

That’s very useful, I’ll try it next time, thanks for the tip!

I tried formatting an external HDD and I picked FAT, I’ll have to research whether or not that filesystem is good for my needs

Yes, I just learned I can use a different filesystem to avoid (or at least minimize) these issues in future. I tried formatting a portable HDD and I could only pick FAT, that should be OK since I picked “Linux compatibility” or something like that in the format wizard!

Oh, I see. So you’re saying that, when I have the chance, I should move to a different filesysten and that would avoid me issues as the one in the OP?

Guess I’ll need to keep W10 around haha thanks again

It worked, thanks a lot! What would be the Linux alternative to do that?

It is, thanks I’ll try that!

Craved, obviously: it would be a bit embarassing and uncomfortable, but at least I would not be harming it

That would be a quick and easy fix, hopefully at some point we’ll have it!

Follow up: lemmy.ml modlog says they removed pc master race community (which I just learn it’s not defederation), meaning we need a different account to access it
