Yeah every thread is basically “lol bro just use Linux, skill issue”… I’m very comfortable with Linux, shell scripting and all those things. Been doing is almost 30 years. There are a wide range of things that are just not supported, which makes it a non-starter for a lot of people.

Or rely on software that is not available in Linux and can’t be emulated, which unfortunately applies to both my work and personal use

The problem is, how? I can set it up on my own computer using open source models and some of my own code. It’s really rough to regulate that.

That is something I’ve had to do on rare occasions because people set up and store info in stupid ways…

And that’s why I sideload a modified YouTube that includes ad blockers, sponsor segment skipping and background playback, among other things.
