  • I’ve been using Debian on my desktop for five years now so this information might be a bit outdated, but I have recently installed Mint on my server.

    In my experience Mint (and Ubuntu) have been more beginner friendly with installation and initial setup. I remember trying to install Debian on my MacBook which just crashed on bootup whereas Ubuntu worked out of the box. Mint draws from Ubuntu’s repositories which are more up to date and has more packages in it. Being able to rely on apt for installing packages has meant an easier user experience. And the last thing is that there’s just more information out there for troubleshooting Mint problems than there is for Debian in my experience.

    That’s what I find. I could be wrong about some of the details

    Buy CDs. Fun and affordable if your music tastes can be found in thrift stores.

    See if your local record store will order in new releases or otherwise for you on CD. Mine does and it’s not a very large store.

    From there, rip to a computer where you either copy it to a mobile device for listening or self host your own streaming service such as Navidrome or Jellyfin.

    The streaming service is easy to self host and I’d love to give more details. You can also “borrow your friend’s CDs to rip them” and stream content that you didn’t necessarily pay for.
