tfw you are the guy who just gets free bandcamp codes from discords, downloads the FLACs, archives them in triplicate (NAS, offsite backup, cold storage backup), then converts them to opus, and then puts the .ogg files on your phone OR records from the flacs onto cassette for in the woods listening with the knockoff walkman you've had since childhood.
YTM and Spotify and the ilk just seem like too much work.
Honestly most laptops should work out of the box now. Based on good experiences people had with Gentoo and the WinMax 2 (2022), I preordered a WinMax 2 (2023) and will be moving my current desktop (TigerLake Engineering Sample Franken computer) to home server use. Had I not gone this route, I would have probably gone either the StarLabs Starbook or the FrameWork route.
