for music what I use is AIMP. I only hope it can work with wine because I don't want to run a VM for it
that's good to know, it'll keep this in mind. thanks!
does this also stand for when shares are done with SMB? I'm mostly worried about random access there being worse than with a local HDD
Smb should be fine. I used it for years on my primary systems (I moved to sshfs when I migrated to linux finally), and it wasn't ever noticeably less performant than local disks.
Compared to local ntfs partitions anyway, ntfs itself isn't all that fast in file operations either.
If you are looking at snapshots or media, that is all highly sequential and low file operations anyway. Something like gaming off of a nas via smb does also work, but I think you notice the lag smb has. It might also be iops limitations there.
Large filesizes and highly random fast low-latency reads is a very rare combination to see. I'd think swap files, game assets, browser cache (usually not that large to be fair).
For anything with fewer files and larger changes it always ran at over 100MiB/s for me until I exhausted the disk caches, so essentially the theoretical max accounting for protocol losses.
I use that on android. Never knew there were desktop versions, odd that it supports android but not other linux.
Wine is very reliable now, it will almost certainly work out of the box.
Otherwise there are also projects to run android apps on linux, though no doubt at much more effort and lower chance of success than wine.
