Okay so I've installed a bunch of stuff that I've been needing to use w*ndows for (below the cut for specifics) and it just worked!! Like I've heard so many horror stories but nah this shit ez. Bluetooth? Audio? Literally ZERO dicking around with drivers. I've even installed EQ software to help my laptop speakers not sound so dogwater and to help my Bluetooth devices sound as good as I'm used to then sounding. And no fuss at all!!

This is your sign to move to Linux (yes you, reading this)

So I've installed SpotiFLAC (download flac files using Spotify's metadata like playlist or artists), LCRGET (download lyrics for said music), MusicBrainz Picard (opensource metadata tagging), IPTVnator (IPTV player), Fladder (jellyfin video client w/download support) and Feishin (jellyfin audio player) with no issues at all.

I already have the backbone infrastructure for this in my proxmox setup but I've also installed tailscale and pangolin to access those services and my NAS. AND IT ALL JUST WORKS BAYBEEEE.
