Why?

The ordering is completely random tho? I mean, now this is just semantics. The ordering of the songs are not made to space out nearby songs or anything. In that sense it is completely randomone of all permutations(⁵⁰P₅₀) of songs.

It is. It’s just a different kind of random

Choose a random song from the kist each time VS Make a truly random ordering of the given playlist

Vlc, atleast on android does randomly ordered sequence for music. The list is generated when you shuffle and it also shows how many tracks are remaining and total time for thoose tracks. No track repeats till a full sequence is over and i belive that is the best way of shuffling songs. But still you shoukd be removing thoose specific songs from your pkaylist by yourself

I mean messing with circuitry around a hard drive can also be problematic

That was still i was reffering to. I am still kinda scared to solder in there. Fault in the connector circuit may also end ir

I do have a soldering iron, but god forbid i won’t open up a hard disk lol(even if this is less risky to open this one)

I am surprised everyone think the same thing as me

Probably. I run Fitgirl GTA V with wine

I have to input my experience here.

On what basis are you saying your batter life is less on linux? Do you use power profiles? Which distros you tried? And what kind of laptop is it?(processor is H/U/HS? Have dGPU?)

For me battery life is far better on linux than on windows. On linux(Fedora, with KDE), with balanced or power saving mode, doing the most basic stuff(say opened a pdf document and a browser and looking at it, without much interaction) my laptop, with dGPU and H processor takes like 7watts, giving more than 7hrs batter life for my 51Wh battery.

Windows on the other hand, without any tasks, only settings app open, showed less than 2 hours battery remaining at 80% charge. I didn’t test how long it takes to drain that much battery explivitly, but I belive this number is based on power usage in watts. Which tells me it is using more than 20W power. The reviews for my laptop before buying also said they get around 4 hours in medium usage.

I suspect that previously, the time before power profiles daemon, everything is by default in performance mode because it was aiming PCs, but now it goes so low with power saving modes. The 20W in windows is probably bloatware running in background.

Now, recently I came to know you can “remove” pci devices in linux so that power gets disconnected from the dGPU. Now whenever i use without it plugged in, i use it by removing gpu and it runs in 3.6-4.2W at idle(i.e, open pdf without touching anything, or using vim and compiler in a terminal) which gives me 12 hours of battery life atleast! Theese numbers are unimaginable in windows for my gaming laptop.

This is not just one exception, since my only friend who use linux also reported the same behavior. Windows uses wayyy more battery than linux. And he was even comparing power saving mode in windows vs perdormance mode in linux and linus still wins by 3-4 watts.

I wish more people check theese, since I belived “linux has bad battery life” argument beforehand and only when I compare with windows i found i am gaining a lot of battery life on linux

Terminal autocorrect when you say ‘fuck’ https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

I usually start typing with # before the command, so that even if i accidently hit enter, it won’t run. After verifying the command enough times, i removes the # and run the command(take command from history if i hit enter)

Btw you can check your laptop model in https://linux-hardware.org/

Isn’t this always the case in fedora? I remember seeing a lot of linux-firmware-* packages when updating and i guess i’ve seen it in other distros as well

Can i use my old exported synthing app config to this?

Menubar and toolbars are part of the content. Thoose are stuff that you would use in that application, unlike big fat title bar which doesn’t have anything much in it. I don’t understand your padding argument i don’t think there is big padding on any of my kde apps.

Also compact means more stuff in less space. Gedit has very few stuff in big titlebar
