Awesome. Sounds like you made the same journey. Right now it feels like I might ditch the dual boot too in a near future.

I use Proton for Steam games. You can enable it in Steam settings, just run it via Steam afterwards. For games purchased via GOG, I use Heroic Launcher which uses a variant of Wine.

 

... and it's much, much better than I anticipated. Proton has solved so many things. I've been dual booting on a smaller partition so far, but this has convinced me to wipe the whole disk and use it for Linux only. I might still keep a dual boot in case there is some edge case, but nothing so far has been an issue. I've been running Pop_Os! which I also have on my laptop since some year back. Previously I've also always had Arch on my laptop, but always stuck with Windows for my desktop just because of gaming issues.

It's generally really hard if you have no experience. But if you're willing to pay, maybe. Check this out: https://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchhiking_a_boat

I've never found a use for any of this. I only utilise a calendar. How complicated are your people's lives?

Yeah I don't really get why I should pay like $20, or even more, yearly, for a service that just serves free podcasts, and where the money doesn't go to the creators at all. I like sync.. but that doesn't justify the price.

Cool, too bad I shut down my NC server a while ago...

I did check it out earlier but feels a bit clunky that it must run the audio stream in a separate program. This means it'll inherently lack some functions like going back or forward 15 seconds with the press of a button as this is a function mostly inherent to podcast players, not e.g. VLC. Not the biggest issue but still.

Grover Podcast seemed promising, too bad it's not open source. Might run with it either way if I can't find anything better.

You were thinking about me emulating eg. AntennaPod? Thanks, I've used it before but it takes up a lot of resources and feels a bit sluggish

 

I'm looking for a preferably non-web wrapper podcast player for Windows, that's preferably also open source. Having a tough time though. Any tips?
