Poweramp, IMO the UX is excellent and it has tons of powerful features. No other music player I’ve tried comes close.

Personally I’d love to see the CEO thrown out. Maybe then Tumblr will benefit as well.

Parannoul - Beautiful World. If you like it, check out his albums, especially To See the Next Part of the Dream and After the Magic

Oh I know about alpine, sadly it didn’t “click” the same way void did and felt more like a distro to use in embedded systems or similar space constrained situations. Gentoo on the other hand I like, but the initial setup + waiting for stuff to compile put me off of it. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime with all precompiled packages.

Void is my favourite distro, although I haven’t used it for a while. Extremely fast package manager, rolling release but not bleeding edge, super simple, very fun to tinker with (more than Arch imo). I stopped using it because I wanted something more popular for easier troubleshooting. But if I ever get a secondary PC/laptop I’ll probably start using it again.

Plymouth would be what you’re looking for. You’d have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.

I never see toffeeshare mentioned. P2P, encrypted, no size limit. Only problem is you can’t send folders, only files, but that’s easily solved with tarballs or RARs.

Not unintuitive, but thinking about it from a beginner standpoint, calamares-based systems are way easier to ‘get’. These distros don’t ask for domain names, proxies, usage surveys etc. This stuff isn’t that complicated, but they add an extra level of things you need to worry about if you’ve never used Linux before, which is the kind of person who this flow chart is made for.

https://toffeeshare.com/ is what I usually use for big files. But both sender and receiver need to be online for the whole transfer. It doesn’t store anything you send on their servers, but that’s a feature for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://vger.app/ on both phone and desktop. Not the best for mouse and keyboard but it gets the job done

Well, Win10 Home and Pro EOL is late 2025, so it’s tecnically correct…

Modern Gnome should in theory be able to adapt to any (reasonable) display size. So anything with recent enough repos would be a good fit

You can use it on desktop as well, of course it’s nobile first but it’s not bad
