I haven’t tried it personally, but there is a Linux software called QMMP, which is kinda like a winamp clone.

Maybe it has compatibility with said formats?

Alternatively, you could try to install a GSI instead of a fully custom built ROM, that’s how I got a custom rom back when I had a Samsung A03 Core. But even then, the way android is locked down on each device along the absurdly short support Motorola offers is really infuriating.

I daily drive a moto g14 for about a year now. A rather basic phone, but thankfully still didnt have any software related issues yet :P hope motorola gives some care to your model tho

The reason why I stick with motorola is because the Android they ship is the closest to pure AOSP. (From what’s avaiable in my country)

dumb fuck ‼️

Fair point. Just to be clear: I am NOT a developer, so I may be very wrong on that take.

But from what I understand, the difference from what snaps does to what traditional packages does is that the Canonical repos are hard coded in it, thus making it harder to decentralise, and that’s not very in line with what many wish for a FOSS ecosystem.

I’m mentioning the “proprietary backend” drama around snaps. Not that I care too much, anyway. I use lots of proprietary software daily

something something snap package

I think one of the reasons why I can do gaming exclusively on Linux is because I hardly play competitive games, so I didnt miss Valorant, League of Legends, Apex and the like. But it’s still a reeeeal shame that these games insists on blocking Linux tho.

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I’m Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

But isnt this like asking “Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch”?

Windows has it’s own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it’s own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn’t move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android’s .apk, right?

I’m not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you’re free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

Thx for the knowledge

As you do with Red Hat 😎 (or not, idk, never used it)
