Many of us are notorious fence-sitters. This video attempts to explore some of the psychology of our profound hesitation when switching operating systems. I will share my personal experience, talk about some of the fears we face when making big changes, offer some warm encouragement, and do it all without a whiff of the elitist technobabble that tends to rear its ugly head in Linux discussions.

    I was really hoping you’d say it was Foobar2000! You can run Foobar2000 using something like Wine/Bottles, but the UI gets all screwy. Recently, somebody released a Foobar-alike called Fooyin and I love it! Here’s how I styled my layout:

    Fooyin definitely has some growing to do, but I think it’s the best you can do on Linux if the goal is the ability to play bit-pefect music with a similar setup to Foobar2000.

      Wow, I installed it today and it’s perfect for me! I tried Deadbeef and wanted to like it, but it couldn’t replace Foobar. Fooyin can, thanks for the recommendation.

        Awesome, I’m glad to help spread the good word! Fooyin is still in its infancy it seems, but I’m hoping we’ll get some more features in it soon- I’m hoping for spectrogram/waveform visualization as well as EQ.
