What does atomic mean in this sense? That seems more confusing than immutable.

Your assessment of probability is speculation and I didn’t suggest you meant “always”.

That’s not necessarily true, I dual boot and I’ve been using Linux for my main OS for about 15 years now. I rarely use mine but it is useful/needed occasionally.

Mpd and Cantata. Deadbeef for playing from a directory or for conversation. I haven’t found anything as good as cantata but I have to admit that I miss the monolithic and do everything of musicbee.

They can be dropped into local directories, assuming the devs provide binaries, otherwise they need building. I know it’s not difficult to git clone and build but it’s not really a beginner friendly process and not ideal to have to remember to check for updates (and not ideal to not have them packaged for updates if there are binaries provided by the devs). I was considering using 10 years ago or so and this was one of the main reasons I decided against it in the end (along with other audio tools not having packages), it’s a shame it hasn’t really moved forward in this respect because it looked really nice otherwise.

Those Tukan plugins are not VSTs, they are reaper specific plugins.

I have no idea about Bottles but most people use yabridge these days which is really easy to use and works very well.

Yes. LV2 and VST3

AV Linux is pretty damn good.

I would say Arch because the AUR is amazing and Arch all around is so good but you’ll need to be making a lot of decisions during install that you know nothing about. If you want to learn then I think it’s the best overall.

Last time I looked there were not enough plugins available for it to be good for a beginner wanting to use it for audio.

Wouldn’t this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.

Pretty sure the original did so this should to

He didn’t and this is the whole point of open source.

What are the great android apps for photoprism? Last time I looked there were two unofficial ones which were both not great and neither allowed you to upload from.

Yeah I think this might be the best and easiest solution. I’m really impressed with it too, I started with photoprism and the moved to nextcloud but there always seems to be something missing from the overall experience. Immich seems to fill all the gaps though.

Thanks! That is what I’ve been playing with but it’s not really what I need. When you go to Sharing, you can see the user and can click on their icon and see a timeline of their pictures but you don’t get the map or the People features from the shared pictures, it’s just an untagged timeline. It’s great as it is, don’t get me wrong, but for my use case it’s not ideal at all where I have the bulk of the family photo archives and I want everyone to be able to click on each other’s People icon and add pictures to the archive.

Thanks for the reply! Basically, I don’t want us to have our own libraries. I have tons of family images which Immich face-recognises and I can merge them accordingly and set up albums etc. However, when I create another user, this user can only see the photos through the Sharing page and cannot see the Faces/People tagged by the recognition, it’s just a gallery of dated pictures. Presumably I will have the same experience for pictures they share.

What I want is for all users to be able to all the People (tagged by the facial recognition). With the way that sharing appears to work this wouldn’t be possible if my family members were individual users so I am wondering if the only way around this is to have just one generic user login which everyone uses, that way we all get to see the People through the Explore page and can see the map for all pictures that everyone uploads.
