Thanks for the reply. What’s weird is that I’ve done what the endeavouros forums said (and, looking through them, they did similar steps as the ones outlined on the archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Preserve_video_memory_after_suspend and I still get that black frozen screen with just a cursor. I’m guessing this is exclusively NVIDIA’s fault… or KDE’s as I never had this problem on GNOME. Thanks anyhow

I don’t think downloading directly from Spotify is possible, considering they have DRM (I might not know what I am talking about, feel free to criticize). And I tried downloading from Spotify directly using yt-dlp.

That said, spotdl seems to only download from YouTube (which is not DRM protected). So what I would recommend you do is ignore ChatGPT and use a well-known tool (such as yt-dlp) in the terminal. It is as intuitive as it gets and it does not require you to do scripting (unless you want to). And find (or create) a playlist using your YouTube account and download that using yt-dlp flags to convert the mp4 or webm files into mp3 or other

I think the docs will have what you’re looking for: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#usage-and-options and if not, good ol’ internet search is a couple keystrokes away

Also, not that it matters much, but it has a strong stance towards open-source software, not allowing closed software in its repositories. Although closed software can be installed by using RPMFusion

Exactly. uBlock Origin exists for a reason. No one can block everything, but mitigation tactics exist, and to not use a product just because the website contains trackers, I don’t understand why one would do that if the product itself doesn’t contain trackers, but hey, people are different

If you throw proton and wine into the mix, Linux is almost as good as Windows in game support

It will most likely be explicit opt-in, if it is implemented.

[ … ] The proposal owner suggests a compromise “suggested opt-in” design, where the UI encourages the user to opt-in, but the user must explicitly make a decision to do so or not. [ … ]

I agree. A lot of people went over the discussion to voice their opinions. And the proposers have adapted it since. They listen to their users, contrary to other for-profit operating systems (to reiterate, Fedora is NOT for-profit, and it never has been)

As a desktop user, I find the Linux experience to be one of constant improvement and learning. First time I tried Linux it was hard. Very hard. Now I know what I want. That doesn’t mean I don’t get to know new things every now and then. So, yes, over time you’ll acquire new skills and knowledge to deal with problems

Excuse my silly question, but what does mpv do that vlc doesn’t?

Debian is good, but if you use flatpak I recommend Fedora. They have (from my own experience) the best flatpak implementation. Although it varies from person to person

(Again, from my experience) Nvidia and Wayland works pretty well, even with the proprietary drivers. Debian has Wayland+Nvidia support since 12. see: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Wayland

I don’t know about your other questions, sorry
