Yeah, I’m not sure how well YouTube is going to run on Kodi, I’ve never actually tried it. If you have another Linux box around you could install Kodi and try it pretty quickly.

This looks nice!

https://libreelec.tv/ If you like Kodi this is the business. I have had it working with remotes, the biggest drawback for me was streaming services not supporting 4k on the Odroid N2+ I was trying to use. Plex worked great through Kodi, and that was my biggest use case.

MacOS is actually not a BSD as some people like to think. It is Unix, it used to be posix tested but it has never, ever been a BSD. MacOS is based on the mach kernel, a kernel that was intended to replace the BSD kernel for a GPL licensed Unix. Most of the people who wanted a GPL Unix just went with Linux in the end. We are still waiting to see what Hurd has to off though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_(kernel)

Can I join the club, I use 9front

I love seasonic PSU. They are the among the best IMO and all my personal machines use them.

Personally, I would pick something from this list. Then you can use piper to manage your mouse settings, and it will be an awesome experience.

I have a Logitech G305 with a custom shell and modded switches that I love, for something close you can look at pmm.gg custom mice.

Totally understandable, it has a lot going on and if you already know reaper it might be good to stick with it. Good luck!

Bitwig comes with so much that I can’t remember if they have drum samples or just machines or both. I highly recommend you try the free trial to see if you like it before you buy.

If you don’t mind paying for it, Bitwig is probably the best that officially supports Linux. There are also ways to run windows VSTs in wine on Linux. I’m no pro, but I love Bitwig, it has boatloads of cool stuff. Reaper also supports Linux. Ubuntu is fine IMO, I think there is a spin that’s specific to audio workloads that might be nice for a beginner. I use Arch at home but I use Ubuntu for work, it’s pretty nice these days.

Latest release was 9 years ago, not exactly what I’m looking for. 9front is probably closer to what I want than inferno.

I mean, you’re right but I still want to see a modernized plan 9, I just think it would be neat.

This is news to me! I’m honestly just paroting others with the no CLI support, I never did the homework. Shame on me I guess!

This is why I don’t love snaps, proprietary backend. I think snaps actually work great for the most part, and flatpaks don’t support cli apps, only GUI.

I think we should just resurrect Plan 9 instead.
