No plans for a Roon Remote for Linux. Buy a phone or tablet. :wink:
I purged my cell phones after writing phone apps for a couple of years. I cannot foresee a time when I would get another. When I travel I buy a burner phone, but don't access any of my accounts (would start new accounts linked to the phone and discard after wiping the contents). Any access of my accounts would be through my linux laptop via vpn.

When you like both bands so much that you want the world to know you're a fan of both simultaneously.
I was at a Denver Nuggets game about 20 years ago and during halftime they had a band setup in the stands about 50 feet away.

My brother in law and I thought at first it was a fake tribute band, but turned out it was actually KISS - wasn't even announced or promoted at the time!

Roon looks interesting, but they don't offer a UI that runs on any of my computers. I could run the server module, but that's about it. (I don't own a cell phone or tablet or windows or macintosh)
Roon gui used to run on Wine, if you manage to install Wine version ~4.2 you should be able to install Roon on it using this script:

Whatever floats your boat. :)

I run Roon Server on Fedora and one of my control devices is an iPad that only connects to my home wifi. So there are ways to keep it off a PC or device that is connected to the net. The Roon server must connect to the net if you want to see meta data and/or use any streaming service.

I apologize. When I signed up for yearly last year, the policy was different (there wasn’t even a monthly option). So you can try it for 14 days for free or you can pay for the yearly and get 30 days to change your mind. They also increased the lifetime membership which bums me out!
They didn't give me a refund.

Deleted.
Someone remind me, why is there no 'delete post' function here?
