My one and only phone, Andromeda, is a Redmi Note 4. I purchased it 3 years ago. It initially suffered from problems such as consuming battery for self overheating. But I later switched custom ROMs, Lineage and Havoc OS, and battery started to last more than a day. Andromeda served me well in its 3 years of service and it continues to do so albeit with some hickups.

<p>I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️</p>
<p>But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted <strong>front speaker to stop working</strong> so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered <strong>microphone on headsets to not connect</strong> so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.</p>
<p>I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️<br>
Anyway, after some market search I set my mind on Redmi Airdots.</p>
<p><strong>Do I recommend them?</strong><br>
No and Yes. They aren't the best earphones, not even best in-ear earphones, but they are affordable.<br>

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>I tried many distros ever since I purchased this laptop, Lenovo Ideapad 110, back in 2017. My previous post was about <a href="my-linux-journey.html">my Linux journey</a>. And as it could be seen there, my every hop was due to some frustration or some feature I missed. But leaving a well polished OS like Manjaro and Pop_OS! is much more difficult and it hurts to need moving away. I tried Pop_OS! twice and n both cases it slowed within a month. In fact, I have been having problems and hopping once a month pretty regularly.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<img src="images/distro_backups.png" alt="A directory with backups of important files before I replace the distro on SSD. I put the distro name and the date it was removed on the directory. It turns out I have been distro hopping once a month from February to August of 2020">
</div>
<p>I have been distro hopping every month for the last seven months. I am not some adventurous person who hops for fun, except that time I decided to use <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/" title="Linux From Scratch">LFS 😅️</a> I heard that people were using Pop_OS! for months with great performance. I used Pop before and experienced performance degragation on SSD. Manjaro stayed fast but installing too many AUR packages got the best of it. Arch, well, was born dead in the hands of a newbie like me 😜️ Elementary is beatiful and good for people switching from Mac, but isn't for me.</p>
<p>Everytime I distro hop, I want it to be the last hopping. I want to settle with a distro on the bare metal. I am not against trying new distros on VM. I am talking about desktop distros btw. Since I am new to server space, I only tried Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 10 so far.</p>
<h1>Solus 4.1 vs Solus 3.99</h1>
<p>The biggest improvement I noticed so far is the black screen issue upon booting after a gpu driver upgrade is gone. I hope it stays that way. Another thing I noticed is that my GPU supports Vulkan now. It didn't before. Even though I installed bunch of drivers and libraries from different PPAs as instructed in Lutris and Steam wikis. I simply installed Steam and Solus pulled every Vulkan stuff games would need.</p>
<h1>I want this to be the last hop I will do on baremetal</h1>
<p>Be ready to quote me on that as "Last Famous Words"</p>
<p>Fun Fact: Solus' package manager, eopkg, is derived from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardus_(operating_system)">Pardus</a>' package manager <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardus_(operating_system)#PiSi_package_management" title="means &quot;kitty&quot; in Turkish">PiSi</a> which was the first Linux distro and package manager I used. Unfortunately PiSi was discontinued when Pardus moved to Debian base. It lives in Solus. That is a nice nostalgia.</p>

</footer><!-- /.post-info --><p>I like listening to musics and I am not the only one. Just look at how many people are listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A" title="lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to on YouTube">LoFi music with the study girl</a> or look how many views <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">this song</a> has. As a young adult, I remember the times the CDs were the king of music distribution. But they are long gone. Thanks to internet, digital music stores and music streaming services replaced CDs.<br>
So here I am, looking for the best music listening solution I can get. After a little search on the internet I came up with the below list of music stores or streaming services.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Online Music Stores</th>
<th>Music Streaming Services</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>

<td><a href="https://tidal.com/" title="DRM">Tidal</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>There are many options and above isn't an exhaustive list. Thankfully I have constraints to help me make more educated choice.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Availability</strong> (in my region) : Even though I can use VPN to appear on some other location on the face of Earth, my bank card will give my location up or won't be accepted 👎️</li>
<li><strong>DRM</strong> : I want to put music on my phone, computer and even my NextCloud to listen from anywhere. When I spent money on music, I don't want to stuck with whatever the vendor supports. I want no vendor lock-in or any other limitation. Those limitations are pushing many people to pirate 😥️</li>
<li><strong>Discoverability</strong> : Whenever there is a new music, I want to be able to find it.</li>
<li><strong>Options</strong> : Does it even has my jazz!</li>
</ol>
<h1>Finally here are my options</h1>

<h2>Why BandCamp</h2>
<p>DRM free songs and musics to purchase and download in high quality. I skimmed over the Term of Services and I dind't notice any red flags for my privacy. It isn't the perfect service. Every artist isn't there and only some of the new songs appear there. But its ToS and Privacy Policy is one of the best ones I skimmed through in a long time.</p>
<h2>Why Jamendo</h2>
<p>Musics licensed under Creative Commons licenses* are available to listen without an account and available to download in high quality with an account. There almost isn't any popular song on Jamendo. But that is an oppportunity to discover new talents. It also has a nice ToS and Privacy Policy.</p>
<h3>I love DRM-free stuff</h3>
<p>As a student living on pocket money, I don't have much of a budget for purchasing music. I am planning to spend 5$ every month on DRM-free musics instead of a streaming service with DRM. I like DRMless content because I know vendor is trusting me. Whenever a platform emposes DRM, I feel treated like a pirate who is expected to steal. No thanks to digital content pirates, I understand why a vendor would put DRM and it is sad that this is the reality. I just am happy that there still are DRM-free alternatives 🙃️</p>
<hr>
<h2>Why not pirate <img height="25em" width="auto" src="https://fosstodon.b-cdn.net/custom_emojis/images/000/083/931/original/a43b334e1ab006d2.png" alt="funny shaped thinking emoji"></h2>
<p>I don't believe pirating is ethical. Someone spent hours coming up with a poem or lyrics, someone else composed music for it, and someone else (probably) drank raw eggs to maintain her/his voice. I wouldn't want people get my hardwork for free unless I put it out there as a demo or as open source. Some people act like pirating is okay if the singer or band is rich. It isn't okay to pirate and I am not giving up on my principles to enjoy some music for free.</p>
<hr>
<p>* Most of the musics on Jamendo are licensed under Non Commercial licenses, such as <a href="https://www.jamendo.com/legal/creative-commons" title="read a little description here">CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>. You need to purchase a commercial license to play them in your restaurant, bar, cafe, clothing store, convenience store, market, shopping mall, advertisement, podcast, YouTube/Vimeo/PeerTube video, movie, etc.
You can't play songs from your Spotify account either. Songs on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube Music and other popular services are for personal listening only too, unless they specifically mention that it is okay to play a song in a venue in music's license. Pijama parties are okay I guess.</p><!-- Comments -->

Redmi Airdots is my choice thanks to its price.&lt;/p&gt;</summary><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;My one and only phone, Andromeda, is a Redmi Note 4. I purchased it 3 years ago. It initially suffered from problems such as consuming battery for self overheating. But I later switched custom ROMs, Lineage and Havoc OS, and battery started to last more than a day. Andromeda served me well in its 3 years of service and it continues to do so albeit with some hickups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not the best phone user. I actually am a clumsy person who drops his phone on regular basis. So much so that Andromeda's display got replaced once and glass twice. Its glass is broken as I write these lines 😁️&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But broken glass isn't the issue. It still detects my touches fairly accurately. Real problem is that, a recent drop resulted &lt;strong&gt;front speaker to stop working&lt;/strong&gt; so that I can't hear other person during phone calls and some copper piece come out of headphone jack which rendered &lt;strong&gt;microphone on headsets to not connect&lt;/strong&gt; so that other person cannot hear me during a phone call (if I am using a headphone). My temporary solution was to use loud speaker which is annoying and makes private calls difficult. Also it is rude in public. Another option was bluetooth speaker which requires some budget.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I could spare 20$ for a pair bluetooth earphones. Pretty generous huh 😜️&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, after some market search I set my mind on Redmi Airdots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I recommend them?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
No and Yes. They aren't the best earphones, not even best in-ear earphones, but they are affordable.&lt;br&gt;
Just like every other in-ear earphones, they aren't comfortable even after I replaced the tips with different size that better fits 😕️ They will do for now. It isn't too much of a deal since I am planning to use them only for calls. Speakers on wired earphones still work with the phone fortunately.&lt;/p&gt;
