I have not kept up with their raw disk lineup to be honest, they may be garbo but I am not sure. I have been using toshiba and seagate drives for the last 8 years which have been great.
The WD devices also offer very limited long term support. The MyBook Live had a software exploit found a couple years after launch that allowed remote access to your files and enabled third parties to wipe your drives. Wd said "wow, that sucks, here is a $15 coupon for a new one. No, we aren't gonna patch it. Buy a new one" I will never buy another wd device except for the raw discs.
What button mod are you using?
Unrelated but did you know that Libraries oftentimes have cd's, dvd's, and even audiobooks available to borrow?
I really like Emby. The media recognition has been better/more accurate than plex in my experience.
Well yeah, they have guns and know how to use them.
Not op but Bazzite is excellent.
I am using syncthing to directionally sync my music from my server to my phone. I like having the local copy on both devices so I don't worry about losing cell service/internet.
Once I got it up and running, it has been like you described, way better than windows.
No, the generic usb driver wouldn't work for me. I only was able to get it to print a test page weirdly.
Brother. Weirdly, the scanner setup was completely painless and even easier than in wondows.
Setup was easy, it just works, its stable, and if you want the regular updates, just get the lifetime model on sale. I bought it becaue I didn't want to spend time screwing with setup and just wanted to get my data moved snd running.
