    I use Fedora because I barely have to do any customization to get it how I like. An almost vanilla version of Gnome? Check. Flatpak? Check. Nothing to uninstall (I’m looking at you, snapd)? Check. Steam with just a few clicks? Check.

    It’s almost perfect, and making it perfect is trivial. That used to be what I said about Ubuntu.

    I haven’t used Windows much since Windows Vista, so I don’t really have any way to compare with Win10/Win11.









  • Currently working on a better script to import all my Google Takeout images into Immich. If anyone wants to help, I can publish it on GitHub. I’ve currently got it sorting all the photos correctly, and now I need to combine the still and live versions into one photo.

    I’m doing this because the current import project doesn’t work well. It goes on basically filename alone, which has a lot of problems with a big complicated library like my own. I’ve used all of iCloud, Google Photos, and Immich at different points and together, so there are tons of duplicate files.

    This is a particularly hard problem because Google Takeout names files in the most convoluted way. You might have a photo called Photo1.jpg and a metadata file called Photo1.supplemental-meta.json, which is fine, but then a photo called MeAndTheWifeAtTheBeach(1).jpg and a metadata file called MeAndTheWifeAtTheBeach.supplemental-m(1).json. Then you could also have a live version that doesn’t have its own metadata file. And these might exist in different folders. The current import project doesn’t take any of this into account.
