    I thought it was fun for the first 10minutes when I wasn’t trying to get back to parity with my Windows install lmao. Wore off real fast. Nothing that 3 weeks of crawling the internet and typing in literal gibberish into the terminal can’t fix.

    Except for the stuff I haven’t fixed, and band-aided into working. But it’s minor stuff lol.

    That’s what someone suggested to me and got me 90% of the way there. The remaining issue is that, on Windows, I had a virtual cable that took browser audio and added it to the discord input so I could individually control volume, and I cannot find a way to do that. I tried to do virtual cables prior to all of this, and just could not get it to work, frustratingly. But, I had equivalent amounts of issues just getting it set up on Windows in the first place, so I’m not super worried about it.

    Now I just use Helvum to map the audio from Firefox into the Discord input, but I have to do it every time I log on, and skipping a song or pausing it kills it and I have to redo it in Helvum again. Minor inconvenience, I just don’t have the will to fix it rn.

    Yeah, the only issues I have are virtual mics to filter background noise on Discord. I have a program that does it, but I lose control over playing music as well (I have a solution through Helvum, but I have to do the specific audio paths every boot for Firefox -> Discord, and I can’t individually control the volume. Plus the path dies every time I pause the music).

    But it was equally as frustrating to get it set up on windows with virtual cables as it has been to try to get virtual cables to work on Linux, so it’s a push there. Everything else has been basically as easy, give or take some of the learning curves of a new OS, and can be attributed to user error.

    Dual boot has been nice. Both work how I want them to, 95% of the time, and if one is giving me issues in the moment, the other is likely to work. I do use Linux wayyy more rn tho.
