I might get a bit of hate for this considering the community name, but Spotify is the one subscription I pay for and don’t feel like I’m getting ripped off. Basically every song I want is on there, they very rarely remove content, and the algorithm actually comes up with decent recommendations. I even like some of the other random features like Spotify wrapped.
But the main difference I see vs other subscriptions is that I don’t feel locked in, since there are no Spotify originals etc if they ever make the service too shit (which admittedly they might since they keep raising the price and trying to shove podcasts down everyone’s throat) I could easily switch to a different streaming service or even go back to just buying music outright

I've been trying to install Arch on an old laptop for the past few days but for some reason it will not shut down if I'm using any kernel above version 6.7. It goes all the way through and gets to Reached target: System Power Off but then just sits there and never actually powers down. I waited 30 minutes in case it did...
I ended up solving it by installing kde plasma. I’d previously tried with as minimal an install as possible to narrow down the problem, but it seems all I had to do was carry on setting things up as I’d originally wanted!
I'm trying to install Arch on Btrfs but every time mkinitcpio runs it fails as shown in the attached screenshot. I've tried on the actual laptop which I'm trying to set up, and also on a couple of Hyper-V VMs set up as I usually do and I've never had this issue before. This happens when its run automatically after installing...
