    Can we stop using completely ambiguous and ungooglable names for software? Granted, Teams is still the worst offender.

    It looks very underwhelming. Do Linux Desktop Devs ever actually managed a collection/playlists or even listen to music on their machines?

    I’m sure it’s very nice but tying an audio player app, or a text editor, an rss reader, or any other such tool to one specific desktop environment is an unbearably stupid idea and makes me think that both Gnome and KDE have made a seriously wrong turn somewhere.

      It’s not tied to Gnome, you can install it wherever you want. https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Decibels

      I was annoyed that Gnome didn’t have a very basic “sound file player”, everything polished wanted to be something more, like support for music libraries, etc. I downloaded a single wav file, I want to listen what’s in it, there was no perfect app for that.

        Proceed with these changes to the user installation? [Y/n]: 
        

        That’s a lot of megabytes for a simple audio player.

        Decibels has already existed for ages. I use it as my default audio player for random sound files and Gapless for albums
