I did this swap recently as well, on Fedora. I had to do literally nothing, as the drivers were already available and installed. I uninstalled akmod-nvidia to tidy up, but I suppose even that wasn’t strictly required.

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.
Good advice. I’ll add that any time you have to parse command line arguments with any real complexity you should probably be using Python or something. I’ve seen bash scripts where 200+ lines are dedicated to just reading parameters. It’s too much effort and too error prone.
Because, being self powered, I can’t control them through my receiver. That’s the main reason.
haha, this sounded like too much fun, so I bought it. Thanks for the recommendation. Grabbed a soldering iron and some lead-free solder as well. I’ll make a post if/when I finish that.
I just adjusted the tonearm when you mentioned it. It did seem way too heavy. I backed it off quite a bit and turned on a record, but it seemed too light. The bigger bass parts seemed to kick the stylus up slightly. It was still making contact, but volume dipped noticably for a moment after each “bump”. So I added a tiny bit of weight and it sounds better now. Is that about right? Just heavy enough to play the record?
That DIY one looks really fun. Do you know if that requires a soldering iron to construct?
edit: The pictures clearly show a soldering iron. This could be a good excuse to buy a soldering iron.
That’s hard to say. Some of the things that come up when I search around for “top lists” of that sort of thing are in the $500-1000 range, which was more than I was expecting. I’m willing to spend that, I think, but it’s probably going to push it lower on my priorities as I’m pretty happy with the sound as-is. I’m sure it could be better, but it’s certainly not bad. I don’t know that I’m enough of an audiophile to tell the difference.
You didn’t mention the ability to mount different drives and partitions to different directories. For example, I always keep /home
on a different partition so I can reinstall my OS without worrying about data loss. You also can use tools like LVM to combine volumes into a single storage volume. Have a lot of games and want to install them all to one place? You can set up multiple large drives to act as a single volume. I guess you can do this with RAID utilities or something in Windows, but it’s really not the same.
I really like a lot about Gnome. It’s things like getting rid of the system tray that don’t make sense to me. I understand it’s not in the system’s ideology, but you can’t force that on every application developer who still has to support that feature for other desktops. If it’s a common application feature, then it’s just broken on Gnome. That’s a hard thing to sell me.
I am a daily Gnome user. There are many things which I actually dislike about Gnome, but I have solved them all through extensions. Fine, I’m not bothered because it can be customized.
But every time they introduce something like this, it takes me a while to get a functional desktop back. It takes time for those extensions’ developers to respond to these things. They have to research the change, implement it, test it, go through extra work to stay backward compatible, etc. These people aren’t being paid for this, so it takes some time.
I’m just frustrated about this. I know someday I will run updates and suddenly find all my extensions broken.
Very nice! How’s it play?
