ROCK AND STONE!

I having one of those things... Ya' know a picture with words...

Heroic Games Launcher could be the answer. The GameVault devs wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel with a Linux client dealing with all the proton sand boxing. Just add to the heroic launcher.

Looks like someone has already had a similar thought too...

Understandable! I'll keep an eye on the project for the future!

I might try running it in bottles and see what the experience is like.

Any progress on the plans for a native Linux client or Web Interface? Last I checked there was only a Windows client available (although it could be ran within proton to be fair).

While Windows is no doubt the popular gaming OS ATM, I think you'll find a much higher population of Linux users amongst the self-hosted crowd.

Your service is exactly what I want for my GOG library, so I'd love to give it a spin!

Look into mumble. It's NOT a discord replacement but does provide a good quality, low latency, OSS voice chat. Mumble + Signal group chat is what my friends and I use for gaming. Seems to work well.

Tip: Turn on text-to-speech to get narrated announcements when users join channels. Also works for text chat shenanigans. 🤣

I believe you can... I have google maps installed and disabled (frozen) by default in case I absolutely need to use it.

A last-gen refurbished pixel + GrapheneOS has been my go-to for years now. Gives me all the polished featured of flagship hardware with regular security updates and privacy.

Bonus points, the google play compatibility shim means you can run 99% of apps that are on the play store.

Just test the refurbished phone thoroughly on the stock os in case you need to swap it out.

yeah, I haven't done much with music that's not in English. You can also look up the album in the musicbrainz database as well to see how it's listed there before you stick Picard on it.

Also another helpful resource when I was learning how to arrange my libraries....

Also note that the music library in Jellyfin has a preferred language option that might apply here.

Use Picard to correct missing metadata, album art, and file name / structure.

I've had zero issues scrapping my music library since doing this.

Just make sure to review the settings in Picard to set up file naming conventions how you want it before you start.

Generally agreed, I would actually try using as many services with their progressive web apps.

The main reason I think they may need google services is the banking app. Mine will refuse to launch without google services installed.

I've always known disc to refer specifically to optical media.

You sound like the ideal candidate for a refurbished Pixel 7 / 8 from amazon.

Test its hardware thoroughly on the stock os in case you need to return it.

Install GrapheneOS using the Web installer.

Install Droid-ify into your main profile from the f-droid web page. It looks much better than the official f-droid client and actually has a working auto-update

Create a work profile. I use an app called Shelter as the work profile admin app. This allows you to auto freeze your big-tech apps to help with battery life / privacy. Install google services from the built-in GrapheneOS app store.

Enjoy.
