linux guide
This is a guide about building a stable, secure digital environment from an artist's perspective using software & OS alternatives that are a joy to work and play in without the corpo bullshit, tracking and ads.Do your own research and
software upgrades
I suggest replacing the software you use before you switch your OS.For Linux users, check Flathub first, then the company's website (if needed) for the application install.Note that Affinity Photo/Designer are easily emulated in Linux using this guide: https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux/blob/main/Guides/Lutris/Guide.md

media upgrades
Any media purchased / subscribed through a streaming service is simply a rental of a temporary, revocable license. Instead, buy or borrow physical CDs / Blu-rays / books whenever possible.
Music
Asunder = rip purchased CDs
MusicBrainz = Download cover art
MusicBrainz Picard or PuddleTag= update tags / change album cover art
Films
Review blu-ray players from Panasonic, such as the DP-UB450.
Books
Borrow books from your local library, purchase from Bookshop.org or local bookstores.
OS upgrades
If you're comfy with all the software changes, consider replacing Windows with a Linux OS next. It's free, compatible with all hardware unlike Windows 11 and has improved gaming performance over any other OS. It also won't force an update or reboot mid-project, so your computer stays out of your way.Personal recommendation: install Fedora with the KDE desktop environment for stability and familiarity.
