I’ve gone through 3 distros at this point: Mint (decent but I found Cinnamon too limiting as a primary desktop environment), Arch (my best and cleanest install so far, found out I vastly prefer KDE, but I broke update compatibility due to too infrequent updating) and EndeavorOS (thought it’d be better but the user experience was actually worse than just plain Arch, met the same fate).

The simple fact is, I’m just not enough of a power user to justify a true rolling release. I use my PC primarily for CD archival and casual gaming, and sometimes I go stretches of up to a month where I don’t even boot it. I need a distro that won’t catastrophically break compatibility on me within a month of n

This is the side of the genre I’ve explored least so I’m sure there are obvious hole here, I’d love some help in filling those gaps :D

Some general points I’m looking for:

• Fuzz/distortion guitar sitting in the middle of the mix while the chorus/reverb guitar takes prominence
• Mid to slow tempos for most of the song
• Low key acoustic drums or perhaps no drums at all
• Long sections (often outros) where the band lock into a groove and let the atmosphere soak in

Songs don’t have to hit all these points, I’m sure there are exceptions in the playlist already, but ofc the closer the better.

I love lush Country instrumentation like pedal steel, fiddle & brush drumming, I think that style of music suits the pensive mood of hymns perfectly and much prefer it to traditional accompaniments like organ.

I’ve found bands who do a song or two in this style but the rest of their album will be more energetic, not really something I’m looking for when I’m in the mood for this kind of contemplative worship music.

Can anyone recommend a full album in this style?
