Ultramarine OS - Yay or Nay?

I stumbled upon Ultramarine OS while going through random stuff and thought "ooh that name sounds interesting, wonder what the Distro is like?" and wanted to see if anyone here has ever used it and could give firsthand experience of what it's like, if anything, and if anyone would recommend it in general

I've seen that it's a Fedora-based distro based out of Thailand, but that seems to be all I can find about it.

And yes I know I could just fire up a VM and try it, but like I said, I want to see what others who've used it think of it

Cheers in advance

Spotify on Linux, some Podcasts have no Audio?

I'm on Kubuntu 26.04 and the Spotify desktop app is weirdly not making any sound when I play podcasts from Diary of a CEO but others are working, music is working. When I play it on browser, it is fine. I thought it may be specific to long podcasts but saw a 26min podcast of the Diary of a CEO and played it and still got the same issue. How weirdly specific is that. If there is a short advertisement from this same podcast, it has audio though.
Not looking for support but maybe someone else had a similar issue?

The absolute state of pdf editing for office migrations

Im slowly migrating our small office over to mint right now to escape the windows 11 telemetry nightmare. honestly 90% of the transition has been a breeze, but pdfs are still the final boss.

I use okular for myself and it's completely fine, but our accounting folks deal with these insanely convoluted government tax forms with weird proprietary scripts embedded in them. they just completely break on most of our standard foss readers

We used to just pay the adobe tax on their old windows machines, but Im genuinely losing my mind at how bloated that ecosystem is now. Background cloud updaters constantly phoning home, mandatory sign-ins just to redact a local invoice... it basically acts like malware at this point.

I ended up just caving and getting a few perpetual licenses for xodo for the finance team. at least it has a native linux binary and doesn't require a monthly blood sacrifice to a cloud portal just to function offline

tbh its just exhausting that the "open" PDF standard is still practically gatekept by massive saas subscriptions in the business world. curious how other solo sysadmins handle complex interactive forms in corporate environments without surrendering to adobe?

What's one Linux app that you wish had a Windows/macOS equivalent?

One thing I didn't expect after switching to Linux was how many genuinely good Linux-first apps I'd end up using.

People often talk about software that's available on Windows but missing on Linux, but I feel like the reverse doesn't get mentioned enough.

Some examples for me: Foliate, Amberol, Mission Center, Warehouse, Bottles , Flatseal etc.

They're not necessarily huge commercial products, but they're polished, focused, and fit the desktop really well.

Every time I have to use another OS, I end up missing some random Linux application that most people have never heard of.

So I'm curious:

What's one Linux app that you wish had a native Windows or macOS version, and what makes it so good?

I'd love to discover some hidden gems I haven't tried yet.

Which useful sh scripts you guys have running?

I have one that checks the space on my disks and if its below a threshold, it sends me an alert email. My pc is a Jellyfin server, so i have to keep track of the disk space before downloading anything else, so this scripts helps a lot.

I also have Rclone backing up a few folders to my Google Drive, and another script that backs up my dotfiles to a Github repo.
