        Cider also went from an open source project to a closed source project. I stopped using them after that.

        The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI

        I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - reddit.com/…/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_…

      I am not using Apple Music, but have you tried the Windows client via Proton? I used Amazon Music installed through Heroic Launcher in the past and it worked fine. Though I had to configure the audio to go above 48kHz.

        I’m not the one you’re asking, but I’m in a similar situation. I’ve attemped to get this working and the problem is that their Windows client must be downloaded and installed through the Microsoft Store and it’s packaged in a way you can’t run in standalone after extracting it. Some apps published through the MS Store do work fine this way, but I could not get it working for the Apple Music client.

        Apple Music does have a web player, but it is also limited to lossy streaming like alternative clients like Cider is.

      Do you mean lossless audio in general or specifically Apple Music?

      I’ve definitely listened to flac files on Linux but a lot of the finer points of high quality audio are lost on me so my input may not be useful.

      there’s no Linux client that supports lossless

      Do you mean ALAC files? I downloaded a sample at getsamplefiles.com/sample-audio-files/alac and played it in VLC under Linux. There are several players that can play libavcodec FFmpeg.

        The file might be lossless but I’ve yet to find a way to actually verify or set the playback quality of my DAC.

        Linux is very frustrating when it comes to audio.

      Hey there! What I do on Linux is use the Thorium browser to make the Apple Music an app in the OS. It works really well, but does have some weird visual glitches every now and then. I chalk that up to me having an NVIDIA GPU and using Wayland though, so it could work better for you!

      As for lossless, I am not sure on that as I don’t have ears that can tell the difference so it has never been something I focused on!

    I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.

  Many people need to use computers and Windows for 8 hours a day, every working day + AI shoved into personal apps. I wouldn’t expect even the world’s best escort to be giving head continuously for 8+ hours a day, 5 days a week.

    I am a system admin and decided to just use Windows Server on my desktop to avoid the bullshit Windows 11 changes

    Server has its own set of problems but at least the tools to deal with them are prepackaged

      Why not use LTSC instead? It shouldn’t include many of these changes it has done or will do. I know since windows 10 the separation between workstation and server has deepened and I believe app compatability is less due to it. I even remember a few apps I wanted to install on server wouldnt let me unless I buy a business license because it detected I was using server and assumed I was a business because of the OS.

        I’m working in server all day anyway. Licences are not a issue with most desktop software that we use. We have almost unlimited access to the Microsoft catalog with a combination of our subscriptions. As a system administrator doing what I do, it’s not much different from ltsc except I have to use a couple of local group policies so I’m not badgered by system prompts
