Support - (fb2k) / Re: Very long image search (only with Linux / Foobar2000V2)
Last post by AldiMp3 -external hard disks / internal NVMe are still relatively new. My backup is on older hard disks. If the problems were there, everything would not be perfect under Windows and Linux 32-bit. After embedding, the images display is also lightning fast, even in 64-bit 2.25. A hardware error is therefore rather unlikely.
I already had arch following these instructions https://linux-bibel.at/index.php/2023/12/15/arch-linux-mit-archinstall-installieren/ on this computer and use it on an old Lenovo with the same packages (there partly from the AUR with YAY). It all takes much longer. I haven't used PARU yet, but I don't think it will beat YAY either.
I am also not so fond of the terminal (later graphical Linux entry), so that my tests with CachyOS, EndeavoursOS Garuda could not dissuade me from Manjaro. There, every system is completely and stably set up in just a few minutes. Nothing breaks all the time and is tested for 14 days longer. If I can get my favorite browser, my favorite game, my printer drivers, image and video editors, streaming service, music recognition, partition management, Wine and much more directly with a click from the standard without AUR, it's better than having to compile this at arch and look for a cable for the network installation beforehand. Of course, it is always interesting to see what Fedora Nobara PopOS Zorin is doing and where the old hands Mint, Debian, Ubuntu stand. I even looked at offshoots like siduction q4os or others without success. It's like Foobar. The old world is super stable, but nothing new is happening anymore. The new world takes time and doesn't always work as planned. There are just more errors.
Since other people here have also reported different performance problems in the new portable world (with simultaneous standard installation in the old world), I will now drop these completely and start with a fresh Foobar2000 2.25 64-bit portable. I can't do without KDE and Plasma 6, although I had forced myself to test the other graphical user interfaces, including Mabox, for months. Surprisingly, I don't find the settings in Plasma any more complex or memory-intensive than XFCE, for example. A lot is written that does not stand up to close analysis. Google makes an interesting AI summary between old and new Foobar2000. That makes me smile.
I agree the DIYway is the successful one, but if you haven't worked with opensuse or ubuntu since time immemorial, you won't find the terminal even as a Mint beginner. Essential applications such as Clonezilla can help, but even these take a simple graphical route with selection without typing. The command line reference has gone out of fashion and only helps developers to reach their goal faster.
Probably a good candidate for 3.1.0.
