I have a Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB RAM) that’s been running my UniFi Network Controller for about four years without issues.
Being a System or Network administrator tasked with monitoring and debugging Linux system performance problems on a daily basis is

Euphonica, the modern GTK4 based MPD client, finally added official package for Linux. Here’s how to install it in Ubuntu desktop.
For those who never heard of Euphonica, it’s a client app for Music Player Daemon (MPD) that provides a modern user interface for managing large local music collection (tens of thousands of songs).
It uses GTK4 + LibAdwaita for a modern UI designed for GNOME (though also works in other desktops), and support basic MPD features, such as playback control, queue reordering, ReplayGain, crossfade and MixRamp configuration.
It can automatically fetch album arts, artist avatars from Last.fm and Music Brainz, and use the current album art for the app window background.
There are also synced song lyrics support through either the 2 external sources alongwith LRCLIB or local files, as well as MPRIS integration, allowing to control you MPD instance via keyboard shortcuts and shell applets without having to keep the app window open.
As you see in the screenshot, the client also has a built-in visualiser, which can read from either FIFO output (not work for Flatpak so far due to sandboxing) or PipeWire output. And, it provides few basic options to switch between and configure them.
Other features include:
As a young application, it’ll keep updating with new features and improvements. See it in Github page for more details.
See more screenshots about Euphonica:
The app added official Flatpak package, a few days ago, for running the MPD client in sandbox on most Linux (amd64 and arm64).
Linux Mint 21+ and Fedora Workstation (with third party repository enabled) may search & install it from either Software Manager or GNOME Software.
Euphonica in Mint software manager
Tips: the Flatpak package is NOT verified at the moment, though officially maintained by software developers, so you may need to configure your Software Manager first before being able to install it.
For Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux, do the steps below one by one to install the package:
sudo apt install flatpak
Other Linux may follow the official setup guide for Flatpak support
flatpak install https://dl.flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica.flatpakref
flatpak update io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica
NOTE: After enabled Flatpak support, you need a log out and back in to apply environment variable changes, or you won’t see the app icon from menu.
And for beginners, you need to install & setup MPD daemon before being able to play & manage your local music collection.
To uninstall Euphonica MPD client, use command:
flatpak uninstall --delete-data io.github.htkhiem.Euphonica
Here skip --delete-data if you want to keep local app data, and run flatpak uninstall --unused to remove useless run-times (e.g., Gnome platform which was also installed in sandbox).

The release candidate (RC) of GNOME Desktop 49 is out for testing purpose!
This is the final development release for GNOME 49, while the stable release is planned for September 17th. It added some new features, various bug-fixes, and improvements.
As you may know, GNOME 49 removed the ‘Gnome on Xorg’ session since the alpha release, which as well disabled X11 sessions in GDM.
In this RC release, it re-enabled X11 by default in GDM, meaning there’s NO “Gnome on Xorg”, but it still can load other X11 based desktop sessions, e.g., XFCE, MATE, and Cinnamon, from the login screen.
GDM 49 re-enabled ability to load other X11 desktop sessions.
Glycin, the image loading library, now has experimental JPEG 2000 loading support, though it’s disabled by default. And, since this RC, the GNOME background images are now loading by this library.
For GNOME Remote Desktop, the release added support for relative mouse motion events, which is commonly used in 3D apps, e.g., video games or design software, to control a virtual camera or object orientation.
The gnome-remote-desktop also added support for extending the desktop with a virtual monitor. I’m not sure how it differs to the virtual monitor functionality introduced since GNOME 42, but it should make mouse movement with embedded cursors more performant. See the merge request for details.
