Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango!
That’s still asking for them to learn to use something entirely new that they might simply not have the time to learn about: Bottles. This person said they’re not savvy at troubleshooting. The last thing they need to be confused about is even getting Bottles running and then installing Ableton.
EDIT: Didn’t notice your system specs at first. While it looks like your motherboard technically supports the TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11, it also looks like your processor might be too old to be supported by Windows 11. Check to be sure before going down the path below. You might only have an option of going to Linux in this case.
Unpopular opinion from a user who uses Linux as his daily driver for everything:
If you’re using stuff like Cakewalk/Ableton and want to be able to do so again in the foreseeable future, stick with Windows. You said you’re not super savvy at troubleshooting, so I wouldn’t want to send you down the path of trying to get Windows software running on Linux through WINe because it’s sometimes pretty finicky. Especially with a rugrat in the mix, you just don’t have the time to be fucking with it.
Windows 11 Activation: https://massgrave.dev/ (In case you no longer have a free upgrade path)
WIndows Debloat: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat (A powershell script for getting rid of bloatware, telemetry, and other crap from Windows)
How To Set Up Windows 11 Local Account: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlhyl3P5Dxw (to avoid having to use a Microsoft account to log in)
Also, I strongly suggest a clean wipe instead of upgrade, as the upgrade path leaves a lot of weird stray stuff that can be annoying. Back up everything that’s important to you on an external drive (or really any drive except the one your OS lives on) and re-install the OS, set up a local account during install, use Massgrave to activate Windows, and then use the Debloater to get rid of bloat.
I use it just for myself mostly to look at my listening habits. When I was younger I used last.fm to find new artists and talk to people who had similar interests and took their suggestions. These days its just to keep a log of my music listening.
Also, I have noticed a pattern of listening to less music for myself and being a lot more deferential to my partners when I am in a relationship over when I am single. This year is 20 years since I started using last.fm and part of my goal this year is to listen to more music than I have listened to yearly over the past 20 years. 2005 was my highest listening year ever, and while I’m not on pace to break that record, I’m on place to come close to it and shatter every other year in between.
Anyway, that’s just a me thing, it’s helped me feel like myself again, re-embracing really enjoying music in a way I have not over the past 16 years of being with two different partners (one for 2 years, another for 13 years). It’s like a celebration of 20 years of loving music and coming back into my own and becoming more me again, and less codependent on others and letting them drive the music.
What about actually self hosting on a local server? When I think self-hosted I don’t imagine having to go to someone else’s website.
Edit: nvm, found the GitHub

I’m just used to a “getting started” link taking me to… How to install it.
You’re gonna break my OCD brain.
Recently set up a Maloja container and a Multi-scrobbler container so I can finally ditch last.fm!
Me with every new Linux installation:
My network looks like George Foreman’s kids names.
Anyway I use Ubuntu to make other Linux users mad. Stay mad, nerds.
Is there a particular reason you need an nvidia gpu? Like plans to do local LLMs or other projects that really require a nvidia gpu?
Because I am just so pleased with AMD for gpus in Linux. So simple.
Not knocking your choice, just trying to understand it. Everyone has valid reasons for why they choose their setups.
Edit: nevermind I am so confused by the new naming schemes I thought this was an nvidia, others have informed me its an AMD. Nevermind me I am a dingus.
Thank you Ted, that’s the joke.
systemdeez nuts!
No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap.
What are you using graphics on a server for instead of just CLI?
You just can’t buy too old or the inverse happens and the performance per watt drops. I think you’re right that 2012 is about the cutoff. Maybe 2007 for certain items, like my 2007 iMac. But if you’re getting back to the Pentium 4 era you’ve gone too far and need to turn back around.
See, I only use flatpaks sparingly for this reason, but in some cases they’re indispensable when you don’t want an application to access certain parts of your system. The sandboxing is what makes them useful, in my opinion. For everything else, there’s the deb packages.
Hell yuh.
It looked like from comments that’s why he made the Ollama integration optional, because some people were concerned since Ollama was built by Meta. It can run without Ollama, it seems.
EDIT: Doing more research on Ollama itself, I’m unconvinced that it’s sharing any data, despite being built by Meta.
https://github.com/Jeffser/Alpaca
This will probably help anyone unfamiliar with it, since the first search result for Alpaca AI is another online paid AI service which does something entirely different than this. It’s used for AI image generation.
The main question I have is since Ollama is optional… If you optionally use it, is it still sharing data with Facebook Meta?
It still does, but I do understand people’s displeasure with snaps.
Ubuntu in the corner, crying.
Linux users: “Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!”
Reppin argyle socks instead of the classic striped, hell yeah.
This is actually a pretty good idea considering your current specs may not actually be able to support Windows 11. It’s a little unclear whether you’ll be able to get it running because while your motherboard meets the TPM 2.0 requirement, your CPU is technically listed as not being supported.
