I also had this exact Mac running Debian with Nvidia disabled. And a TP link WiFi adapter too.

The Nvidia can’t do Wayland anyway, so definitely ignore it and disable.

I see a Ghostbusters quote, I upvote

Oh wow. So that’s what it’s doing. I could see it was ignoring most metadata that other software would use, but never thought of that.

Great to have an answer, but a shame it’s such an incredibly stupid one!

Edit: With the help of a python script made by Claude I’ve made things better.

But even now that things are ordered correctly many albums ”start” at track 10 and finish with tracks 1-9, so I have to scroll back to go to track 1. Madness.

I both love and hate mine. The fundamental sound quality, size, weight and aesthetic is great. And I love an interface that means album artwork doesn’t matter.

Being a universal USB C DAC is great.

But the software quality control is horrendous. Every update introduces a new bug, you can’t update without wiping all your settings, and some albums won’t show the tracks in the right order no matter what I try.

I run Linux on a 2012 MBP, and the WiFi has got more and more problematic the last few years.

Buying a TP-Link USB WiFi adapter and just using that made my Linux life so much more straightforward.

I don’t think the Broadcom card was capable of supporting WPA3 anyway.

I’ve got this Mac with Linux on it, and yes, you 100% want to disable Nvidia for sure.

A C64 is one of the only retro machines I’ve never encountered before in-person. Presume they were less popular in the UK because of the Spectrum.

But I have a default appreciation of it because of my childhood Amiga adoration.

I actually installed Virtual64 on the Mac the other day and was trying to learn some ways to mess around in BASIC. Hoping to get to know the C64 (and Spectrum) better, mainly just for the fun of it.
