“Bitbucket is a code management service. It is much better than the Git code management service”

In this context it’s even funnier

Yeah, but you have compared top-of-the-line Ryzen model vs. Intel’s high-medium tier. That’s not gonna really help.

I believe that PipeWire is really solid piece of software, but I couldn’t just let go of JACK just yet. JACK just works and it’s easy to modify important parameters like sample rate or buffer size. On PipeWire I still don’t know how to quite do that, I get lost in all those configuration files, but I will get it someday.

Also one more thing that might be niche, but it’s important for me is JACK timecode (for synching i.e. a DAW with video player) which PipeWire doesn’t support at all at the moment. Getting it work on PipeWire (converting JACK timecode to LTC or MTC) gets ugly pretty quickly. So I’m glad PipeWire allows to use it however I like it, either as JACK server or client.

I have had some problems with PipeWire as JACK replacement, mostly it was some tearing artifacts that were very annoying. Recently though I learned how to use PipeWire (which is great for general desktop audio usage + works with Bluetooth really good) with JACK for pro-audio applications. By using the JACK DBus detect module it is possible to turn PipeWire into JACK client when ever the latter one is started.

So this way it is not required to use PulseAudio at all with JACK. There’s also possibility to use PipeWire as JACK server because it also provides such API.

Well, not really. KeePassXC works properly apart from the Auto-Type feature, which is not that big of a problem because you can use browser integration or just copy and paste it. As for the screen sharing thing - it works, i’ve had problem with capturing sound with it but apparently it is just Discord for Linux thing and not really Wayland. I never had any issue with DPI, neither on Gnome or KDE. I don’t remember what is was on Gnome, but UI scalling on KDE works fine.

Yeah, in my case it’s really easy, just like the other commenter said. Some time ago I’ve been configuring new laptop for my mom. I just installed Firefox with uBlock Origin with default settings and I don’t think she has ever seen YouTube ads.

Oh okay, that’s good to know! I thought it was something with my setup.

Yeah, I guess it may be risky to remove drives from pool, so maybe it would be better to build to just move the whole secondary pool as the other commenter pointed out (at least for the first time, smaller increments should be easier to handle). But do you think my strategy with snapshots as backup is good overall or should I use something else?

Thanks, I guess it’s even better solution and doesn’t involve kinda risky removing drives from pool. But do you think my strategy with snapshots as backup is good overall or should I use something else?
