Maybe "flex X" outputs to stdout and "flex X on the haters" outputs to stderr?

yes

Just use soulseek

Audacious only has the playlist and library stuff, from what I can see.

Wining it is still going to stick out of place and the external window plugin thing I want is probably gonna be weird.

Well, you could maybe Wine it, but it's still going to stick out of place and the external window plugin thing I want is probably gonna be weird. You may have also confused it with Guarapiranga.

All program works.

Remind me when EOL was

I've actually asked about alternatives in the EndeavourOS forum and talked about it there:

I just found out about DeaDBeeF. Unfortunately, it's not what I'll be using.
It is quite a one-to-one match to foobar2000! It has the same modularity and customization. However, the plugin ecosystem is nowhere as big. There's no Coverflow plugin.
And there was a lyrics plugin, forked after an earlier plugin stopped development. However, the developer quit after decreasing passion coincided with the DeadBeeF developer removing the already finished Russian translation in the wake of the Russian war for whatever reason. Needless to say, I am not comfortable with it both feature-wise and ethics-wise.

Strawberry and all Clementine (or should I say, Amarok?)-likes don't strike my fancies. They seem to be in pretty good hands, but I just don't like the side-tab layout (plus the aforementioned problem with lyrics). Amarok seems to have switched their design, and since I plan on using KDE either way, if the usage is good enough and I can't find anything better, I'll either use Amarok or Sayonara, which also seems promising.

It has no version for Linux.

You can hide it via normal settings.

You can still re-enable it in the taskbar settings. Personally I like asking an AI to do stuff, so I like the Copilot icon in my taskbar, BUT NOT ON THE FREAKING BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER GODDAMMIT THAT'S FOR LIKE NOTIFICATIONS
AND NOW NOTIFICATIONS GO OVER COPILOT BUT NOT QUICK SETTINGS FOR SOME REASON AND IF YOU BRING UP QUICK SETTINGS IT SHIFTS TO THE LEFT AND HIDES NOTIFICATIONS??
at least I won't accidentally hide my desktop while clicking copilot in a place where it shouldn't have been
except oh no signing in to unlock copilot doesn't even fucking work

time to grind on my giant arch migration checklist and hunt for a good foobar2000 alternative which i'll likely never finish

https://github.com/SpotCompiled/SpotC-Plus-Plus, preferably with SideStore
On desktop I just use my private hoard of music with Foobar2000

Well then, you also have large documents or incriminating photos you may not intend to open.
