I wish this was simpler. I never see direct purchases on band websites unless I’m buying physical goods.

I agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.

I’ve been loving Qobuz so far. Migrating our family was easier than I thought.

Plus it comes with a free music migration tool.

Qobuz distributed royalties due to labels and publishers corresponding to an average amount of US$0.01873 per stream

This means that Qobuz generates on average five times more revenue per user than the market average,

How much does Spotify pay per stream?

Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average.

That works out as an approx revenue split of 70/30 - so that’s 70% to the artist/rights holders and 30% to Spotify.

OrganicMaps and CoMaps are also good similar options.

Linux has gotten incredibly better for gaming. Now Bluetooth controllers connect just as easy as Windows, and Steam has Proton built in so that when you run a Windows only game, Steam will automatically install the appropriate Proton and Wine software – just make sure to turn on compatibility mode in the Steam launcher settings. Every game I ran so far runs fine on Linux.

It couldn’t be a better time to switch to Linux.
