Audacity was bought by Muse Group. They suck. The opposite of suckless. Musescore is now 'Musescore Hub.' Sneedacity is the new audacity.
Sneedacity seems to be a bit dead, unless I'm missing something: It's not been updated for 3 years... Tenacity might be a better option (although if sneedacity does everything you need then then go for it)
Sneedacity is dead because the guy who forked it only did so for the notoriety and the social acclaim of "fighting back" in a culture war battle. He had no interest in actually maintaining the software.
If you do hop over, I suggest learning how to package programs so you can contribute to their repos. They're comparatively barren if you're coming from a big distro.
I prefer Gentoo but it does have a steep learning curve, and it's designed for compiling all packages from source, although you can use the precompiled binary packages but you have to use the default USE flags so you kinda lose the customization power that Portage gives you. In either case it takes more time to install and maintain than other distributions, but the customization USE flags give you and ease of adding your own ebuilds makes it worth it IMO.
So it's sorta like an "srm" on that data?
But does Artix Linux not use pacman? I see that it does, and has that modified Arch logo, giving the impression it's an Arch fork just forgoing systemd for OpenRC. For us normalfags package management would be as simple as $ sudo pacman -S cowsay
It uses pacman, but it uses its own repository, which has vastly less packages than arch does. You can technically remedy this by adding in archs' [extra] repository, which shouldnt have packages that rely on systemd, but you'll probably end up running into issues with updates when software inside the [extra] repository needs a newer version of a dependency that hasnt made it to artix yet, or hasnt been packaged inside artix to begin with, hence why if you have an application that you need that isn't packaged in artixs' repositories you should learn to help package it for artix.
CachyOS is a placebo distro. It used to be good when the standard linux kernel was using CFS which sucked, but since it switched to EEVDF most of the performance improvements of CachyOS withered away.
Devuan also defaults to OpenRC and is also supportive of XLibre, though they don't package it yet.
The TRIM command is counted as a write by the kernel or io profiling tools (not sure which) but is not a write at the SSD level, the SSD marks those blocks as free to use, which will make it perform better and do less flash writes with future host writes. So it's beneficial and you don't need to minimize it, but trimming more than maybe once a day is overkill for a desktop workload.
Yeah, Devuan's my choice for systemd-less distros because you can sidestep the whole Arch and/or Arch-alike business and use the same .deb packages that everyone else publishes. Particularly with non-open-source third parties I'd rather just use their official packages than a repack by some guy.
