    The funniest thing is, people say Linux is not ready, cause [insert feature] doesn’t work. The problem is said feature doesn’t work on Windows either.

    For example pausing/resuming playback across multiple appliacations using media keys. It’s not perfect on Linux (not every app uses MPRIS), but it’s not great on Winodws either

        Yeah, but that works on VLC only and it has to be focused. With MPRIS you can eg. pause a song playing in mpd, while having VLC focused

          Good thing I really only use VLC for videos, and Clementine for audio very rarely, and if I’m done with the music and switching to video I can just exit Clementine! I use the volume keys all the time though, since I sadly lack physical buttons.

      It works way better on Linux. I especially like the gnome screenshot tool
