It's a necessity for me, not a choice ๐คท. I don't drive unless I need to, I walk or use the bike.

Yep, have done the same. Latest was the covid shot cert ๐. Couldn't pass borders, but will get you into malls and shops ๐.
I don't purchase anything in advertisements. Well, I might look into deals, if it's anything I need or might need.
Yeah, I don't count forums as social media as well.
lol ๐, i can relate ๐.
It takes Winamp dll plugins?
Some of the devs around Linus are getting warmed up to the idea of a microkernel. Statistics have shown better boot times and better overall performance. As they put it "guess Tannenbaum was right all along" ๐.
Anyway, it should just be a matter of time now. Linus doesn't like the microkernel idea because it risks stability for the sake of modularity. You maintain the entire code base with a monolithic kernel (drivers, FS, everything), while with a microkernel, you just maintain the kernel, everything else is modular, maintained by someone else, thus, things can go bump in the night. The former is better for stability.
Winamp.
There's WACUP, but it's not the same and you can't run it natively on Linux.
OK, then here's what you do. Wipe the NVME, install your main OS on it. Boot to it, it should read the SATA drive. Mount it, copy whatever you need from it to the NVME drive. Then wipe the SATA drive (dd or any other program of your choice). Install your second OS on the SATA drive, but skip installing the bootloader. Reboot, boot to your man OS, set grub to search for other installed OSes on the laptop, update grub. The second OS should appear in grub's menu.
If the data on the SATA drive is bigger than what the NVME can take, use BTRFS with compression (zstd=10 should do it, after the copy, you can drop the compression to 5 for better performance) on the main OS. It will compress binaries or plain text/document files quite nicely. Media, not so much, but it will cut down a few % off it.
Also, when you update the kernel on the second OS, grub won't detect that. You have to manually switch to the new kernel, but from the main OS. Also, removing old kernels on the second OS will become more complicated, since there is no bootloader installed for it.
Lol, yeah, missed that ๐.
As far as I'm aware of, the only FOSS project that has an option to use FDK-AAC is Handbrake, and they just let you point to the binary, that's it... you have to compile it yourself.
No, I meant it as a question, does it take Winamp plugins ๐.
Cuz I have this oddball mp3RPO plugin... sadly, I converted most of my media back in the day to mp3PRO (storage was expensive back then, I was a student, low on funds... ๐คท). It's a discontinued codec now from Fraunhoffer (the idea was the same as with HE-AAC, spectral band replication, but do it with mp3) and... I just can't be bothered to redownload all of my collection to mp3/aac. There's just too many titles and that's the main reason why I still use Winamp on Linux, the mp3PRO plugin for Winamp ๐. If I could load that dll in any other player out there, I would gladly switch, but I can't ๐.
