Some preemptive advice if you’re in the market of integrating TTS for some customer or service:
Do not ever use any “humanisation” tweaks. Having a computer voice stumble on a word or fucking cough is uncanny valley and how to make people feel manipulated in one simple trick.
Just don’t. Everybody hates it.
Another twenty plus years Linux server and devices admin and user that found last year that Linux is finally mature and stable enough to replace my desktop too without having the fiddle with it every once in a random update. It was a decision that I can accept making workarounds for legacy windows software and l can live without other eco system. Yeah, there are plenty of reasons that people are still running Windows and keep doing so.
Don’t make being user of an operating system your identity, people. It’s just as annoying and unnecessary as those Apple fanboys we all know and dislike.
I have an Asustor that is running Debian. It’s just a PC in a NAS enclosure so why should it not.
Companies go out of business all the time and others decide to sunset systems in use so customers are required to upgrade despite it is still working. So yeah, be realistic about expectations for any external service you decide to invest in.
Edit; and some things like smoke detectors do in fact have a life span after which they are degrading. Ten years is normal for a smoke detector.
Variants and derivates of Debian on my servers and other headless devices because no reason except I know it, it is stable, it works.
Been trying linux for desktop every five-ten years for the last twenty odd years and went back to Windows every time because it was too bad experience despite I really tried to like it.
Except this time.
Fedora KDE on my laptop, soon on my stationary as well. No more Windows for me.
Another potential cause for random slowdown, errors and crashes could be overheating. Check that the fans are spinning and airflow is unobstructed. I don’t remember from the top of my head and I’m not near a computer but maybe somebody else remembers his to check that all sensors are detected and operational.
Then we do not agree at all. I think key is to help people to help themselves to learn, sometimes by telling them to figure it out themselves when you know it is something that is an easy peasy figure for anybody that actually makes an attempt at it. Not to provide answers until you feel the community is big enough to not accept slop any more because arbitrary feels and then abandon ship. And who are you to decide and tell people to leave, me now and others later? Putting on some tall horse big balls pants there my dude community boss.
Btw, none of this is what enshittification means, just for your information. And as a gift, I bestow upon you this quest to learn what it actually means, all by yourself! It will provide you with knowledge and skills to carry for the rest of your life. Yay! You may now downvoted because I made you pissy, but sometimes getting pissy is required for personal growth.

Following your speculative reasoning - sure, until this forum too much like any other before it becomes swamped with non questions like this and becomes heavily moderated by necessity and users like yourself are upset that moderators are not doing their non paid volunteer work and then for doing it.
I told op they could solve this problem themselves in the same time they asked others to do it for them, which my follow up prove they could. OP gave no indication or information of making any attempts to find information or solve it themselves or why they would have hardships doing so, only a complaint that software A doesn’t function like software B. I’m glad to help when someone is struggling, but at least try something yourself first.
Yeah, frankly, I’m so tried of people doing exactly this when information on the topic is plentiful at the bare minimum of effort. I think it is plain laziness and from the time of forums and news groups it was considered arrogance to expect others to donate time for your non issues.
But I’m glad you are stimulated.
Btw, how do I make a bechamel? How do I convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit? Is this an excellent use case for ChatGPT if I can’t be arsed to use search engines?

The first hit in my first search. Amazing.
Imagine doing a search instead of asking others to solve it for you.
Cyberpunk.
I got it on time because I subscribe to Lemmy Plus! Now I can never go back to Lemmy Community Edition.
No “lifespan” people around?
These clicky baity titles are so fucking stupid. The bleeding edge of data storage is priced at a premium? How surprising.
Sidenote, maybe some of your applications do not need a Linux computer but a microcontroller like an Arduino or a ESP32 is sufficient.
Similar story here. Tried some latest versions of popular distros. Settled with Fedora KDE. Fedora supported nearly everything in my convertible laptop out of the box where others were hit and miss. Easy transition from Windows 10. KDE doesn’t enforce it’s own opinions of desktop and workflow like Gnome does. Steam, Epic and GoG all play fine. It’s my daily driver now. Much recommended.
I don’t buy much clothes but I’m in need to order some new ones. Zalando was great because of the vast selection of brands - despite them making it harder to filter on environmentally better options already several years ago. Now I don’t want to use them any more. Any suggestions for good, ethical and preferably environmentally friendly online stores for Sweden/EU?
