2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Have downloaded 10k songs in the last week, at 160GB so far, 22,000 total. Synced all to my phone with media monkey. Ditching any subscription services.

I've got a good fast fiber internet connection at home so I just host a Plex server and use Plexamp, which is a great app.

A lot of my music was ripped by me though, not downloaded, so my library isn't as large as some other people's.

160gb in a phone? Thats pretty large storage for a phone

The price difference wasnt worth. 512 was sub $25, jumped to $100 for 1tb. This is a good start. It's also all stored on a 15tb truenas.

That also helps linux. Tried watching something on someone else's peacock account logged into Linux, and got an error. Checked Google to see if it was available. A free site had it, in better quality streaming too! We ended up using her computer, but I was kind of amazed.
