From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I tried out most (if not all) of the music players on flathub, but I always end up going back to Rhythmbox. It's so simple, lightweight, got just enough features (for my use case) and blends well with GTK Desktops (I mostly use Gnome and Cinnamon) and it looks so clean in my Nord theme 😆

How has your experience with Rhythmbox? do y'all got any alternative you think everybody should give a try? I personally think Elisa is a close second!

Honestly I use an app called zellage and I like being able to put my music player(cmus) and artwork ripper(cmus-art), and usually a visualizer (wtf can't I remember it's name).

There's no particular advantage so much as my personal preference for staying on keyboard and off mouse. I have everything bound to key chords that I've more or less memorized so it's a quick ctrl+t n for new tab ctrl+p v move pane down , etc etc and I can do all of it more or less by feeling.

It's largely an aesthetic preference, but It's also that I have a slow system. So I can keep ram use down. 2nd gen core i3 problems (shrugs)
