You’ll want the amd64.deb file for debian unless your computer has an arm cpu in which case it would be the arm64.deb. Nicotine+ is a good soulseek client (flathub.org/en/apps/org.nicotine_plus.Nicotine)

Has Asahi matured? Last I heard there were still quite a few unsupported features like touch ID and displayport over usb c

Exactly. I am not a heavy user but occasionally I need to multitask a bit. I upgraded from 16 gb to 32 gb a while back because with 4 open workspaces, a browser in each one plus an email client, signal, a couple libreoffice apps open, and my notes app, it was having to use enough swap space that I noticed the performance hit. A small number of very light users might be ok with 8gb, but most will likely have issues.

Proton VPN and Mulvad has their GUI clients for linux

They do but don’t use Proton. They’re very lazy about their VPN implementations and the clients to be very leaky in general. Plus they neglect all their linux apps.

Or even easier would be something like winboat.app

TuneFab

Is this a feasible alternative? getlibation.com

Efficiency is a functionally meaningless term under capitalism. Efficiency of what? Efficiency of email and phone spam? Widespread advertisement campaigns? Efficiency in sabotaging your competitors or collaborating to fix prices? Efficiency in redesigning products to manipulate your consumers and planned obsolescence? Efficiency in environmental destruction? Efficiency in finding loopholes in the legal system and regulations? In lobbying the government to receive special treatment? There are many ways to compete in a competitive market.

Yeah I’m not very familiar with the android landscape since everything that’s not GrapheneOS is a total shitshow. Sounds like app optimization may be less of a concern than I anticipated, that’s great
