That's deadbeef anon.
Even on Linux, Foobar2000 is the best audio player.
>>59125671
I use Audacious.
>>59125638
Different DEs consume different amounts of energy retard. You don't use KDE on a laptop. Dumbass.
>>59125638
plasma5 is great, like 160mb total mem usage on jessie after a clean install
>KDE
It's shit, senpai.
It's shit.
It is not playing back music. With small window of player it is ok.
470Mb for a damn audio player? What is this, Java? Fuck me.

>winamp was bloated with stupid shit for 10 years
>still uses less than 25mb ram
>>59125638
You are currently scanning for music, you fucking faggot. Also amarok is abandoned old shit. Trash that garbage asap.

>kde
>Most advanced audio player ever
You called?
Amarok has never been the best, even advanced player. It just plays music in KDE.
>>59125967
is Amarok a meme? Just like KDE?
>>59125999
Why are you asking me about it?
Amarok is an unmaintained bloated mess. You are better of using something like cantata or clementine instead.
>>59126072
I second cantata. Though I prefer muh ncmpcpp
>>59125695
Fuck. And I just installed opensuse with kde.
Then what's the recommended laptop DE that isn't shit?

>>59126072
Seconding cantata
>>59125638
KDE and XFCE get it right.
KDE looks great in some screenshots but actually running it is terrible.
>that's Linux in general tho
>>59126559
Just werks for me. What are you having problems with?
>>59125638
C++ is the problem. They should write it in Nim
>>59125638
You should use a terminal based audio player you will see how your batrery life will be better
>>59125638
amarok is ugly as fuck

Probably the indexer. I have to exclude some folders of mine to make it stop choking on thousands of comic books and ebooks. It would literally rape my HDDs and for some reason also slow down the desktop to a crawl, even though that shit is on a completely different hdd.
Also, it seems to save all the content of my ebooks in its mysql database and doesn't set a limit to its growth. Resulting in trying to read a 20GB database at startup and not being fast enough in saving that shit when I try to logout. Fuck that noise. It also doesn't remove files that aren't present anymore. Seriously, why the fuck do they not fix that shit. It can't be that hard to throw in a few conditions depending on content and expected database size
>>59125792
That looks so comfy.
