There is also this similar software, which is a little clunky but not slop https://github.com/Nachtzuster/BirdNET-Pi

I recommend Vital. Different UI but it’s free and can do most (if not all) of the same stuff, from what I can tell (I’ve not delved deep into Alchemy). Surge XT is apparently more powerful but I find Vital offers plenty of complexity and there’s a much steeper a learning curve, so I wouldn’t start there.

It shows the trend but the colors make this look far more severe than the scores reflect

I use ImagePipe, which has worked well for me

One thing I’ve seen people talking about is the metadata library, which is apparently very good

No it wasn’t, shitty bosses were and AI was their excuse.

Yeah, I probably gave Bazzite less of a chance because I had so many issues installing it. I believe I had to wipe my other Linux partition to get it installed in the end.

Honestly, so far I have had no issues at all, I just run an update every now and then. I assume it’d be more difficult if this wasn’t a gaming-specific partition, as that means I haven’t installed much else.

It took me ages to get it installed as it couldn’t cope with my EFI (I have multiple boot partitions). I had issues getting games running once I had it installed, but I can’t remember what specifically those issues were as I spent longer fighting with Pop (WiFi driver issues).

I had a bad time getting Bazzite working and ended up switching to CachyOS, which I have been happy with.

I’m guessing “fuck with”? Not sure though

CachyOS

I’m moving at the moment. Linux Mint is a good stable Windows alternative, but I wanted to separate gaming from other things so I am dual booting. I have had luck with Pop_OS! before but recently had issues with a laptop WiFi adapter, had some issues getting Bazzite working, so ended up with CachyOS, which has been really slick and easy so far.

A nice thing with Linux is how easy it is to cycle through a few distros if you have your main files on a different drive or partition, since you don’t lose anything important when switching that way.

There are a few things about Kodi that might help:

1. There are themes thay completely change the UI, so it doesn’t have to be outdated. I use Arctic: Zephyr – Reloaded and it is much better, though I did change the noises to something else.
2. The Jellyfin plugin works pretty seamlessly if you set up the UI correctly. I only use Kodi for Jellyfin and it acts as if it’s all local files, other than the occasional syncing notice.

However, I feel you on Netflix, YouTube, etc. - it is not ideal. I ended up either logging into a separate partition or moving to a Chromecast for those things. I’d love an all-in-one solution but I haven’t managed to find one that I’d be happy with.

That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Insects are a more eco friendly source of protein than cattle, and cattle might become more expensive due to the effects global warming and the potential taxes that could be placed on emissions, but there are plenty of other protein sources and there isn’t some big plan.

The Origin Effects compressors are UK-based (not EU but not US) and very well liked. Where are you based? There may be smaller builders near you that cover your needs.
