Use something other than gnome and, while you’re at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.

KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

VScode is the epitome of the EEE strategy. The core product is open-source, but it’s filled to the brim with tracking and the official extensions have DRM. Yes, there’s DRM on your python LSP.

Anyone who gives a shit should look for alternatives right away. The problem is just that there aren’t any that are as easy to set up.

People who preorder a phone are out of their fucking mind, simple as that.

Make absolutely sure that you’re not touching the ubuntu partition while getting rid of windows.

A backup of at least your home directory is recommended.

Then just remove the windows partition from ubuntu and install garuda to it as usual. You’ll probably need to use grub-mkconfig after installation to make sure grub shows both ubuntu and garuda. The arch wiki has a good guide on that.
