At least the stuff I like (if it would actually be called ‘drumstep’, which I’m not certain about) is generally quite a bit slower than drum’n’bass.

Depends on what you mean slower. Drum and bass is in the 160-180 BPM range. Halftime is in the same range, but the drums are slower -- typically the snare hits less frequently.

Is that not what drum’n’bass is doing, too? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a drum’n’bass track that wasn’t halftime with some kind of two step pattern.

Drum and bass is typically 2-step, but not halftime. For example: Lost Friends by Halogenix is classic 2-step drum and bass, but Orange by Halogenix & Two Fingers is halftime. Both tracks are in the 170-175 range, yet they sound quite different. Both are considered drum and bass and easily mixable with each other.

The two tracks you mentioned in your other comment are both halftime. One is 160 BPM, the other is 172 (I checked in Mixxx). That is drum and bass territory. If they were slower, around 140-150, they would probably be classified as dubstep. To be honest, genre labeling doesn't really matter because producers tend to experiment a lot. But you'll have much more success searching for "halftime" than "drumstep" for the style you like.

It's easier to understand drumstep as a subgenre of drum and bass. It has the same tempo as drum and bass but employs a halftime 2-step drum pattern like dubstep, using synth sounds that are also reminiscent of dubstep.

Drumstep was popular in the early 2010s but it's mostly out of fashion today. Some classic examples are Rob Swire's drumstep remix of Witchcraft or Knife Party's Bonfire.

People still produce halftime drum and bass tracks today but they use much deeper basses and sounds reminiscent of breaks/garage/techno, not 2010s dubstep sounds. That style is more known as simply "halftime". Ivy Lab are classic, reputable halftime producers.

Quick reminder that source without a license is source-available, not FOSS. Though I believe Daniel just forgot to add one.

Update 2 months later: this was it. I just didn't know how to install it on Mint. Turns out there's a Driver Manager that you can use. Thanks!

That is true. IIRC, Krita is the only one of the 3 that has native CMYK support.

In my experience, Inkscape can be used as a professional replacement for Illustrator. It has never crashed on me. There may be some limitations, but nothing super inconvenient or something there isn't a workaround for.

GIMP, on the other hand, is a mixed bag. I believe Krita is a much better candidate to be used professionally than GIMP. GIMP has an objectively bad UI, has weird quirks for very simple tasks, and is prone to crashes. I use GIMP for simple image editing and Krita for more complex projects. GIMP 3.0 is their best chance to fix their reputation and I'm hopeful it will deliver.

If you don't have time to try them yourself, follow creators who use them and check their workflow. I recommend Davies Media Design on YouTube for great videos on Inkscape especially.

Edit: No program is completely immune to crashes, it's good practice to routinely save projects no matter how stable or unstable the program is.

I recently flashed Mint on a MacBook Air 2012, but WiFi is really unstable and slow. Probably a driver issue. I had worse luck with Debian and Fedora.

Dasharo works on Z690-A, yes. You may want to check compatibility reports for the CPU and GPU on their website/GitHub first, though.

Probably the Free Software Directory.

Some superficial thoughts, please correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't AdNauseam generating more traffic to ads, thus increasing their value in terms of metrics? Also, do people really think that agencies like NSA, which are capable of extremely sophisticated surveillance, can be disrupted by random text in emails? These tools sound like a waste of time to me.
