Setting up my dev environment took a while and some troubleshooting.

The last issue that I can’t seem to solve is streaming 4k videos in 265 encoding from my cheap network drive. I have all the codecs, and tried multiple different players, messed with vlc setting, no luck. Audio out of sync, or no video, or stuttering, or refusing to play at all.

I can access those videos on my phone and even stream them to my Chromecast, so there’s no reason it should not work on linux laptops.

Moved my three laptops to Ubuntu, Mint and Zorrin. A week later I’m still dealing with issues setting them up.

Ngl, the move is more frustrating than linux nerds would have you believe. But a necessary move and I don’t regret it.

The cost is the time you will spend learning how to use it and debug issues (mostly copying and pasting strange commands from strangers on old forum posts)

“Come, touch my computer parts”

Sounds like she might have been hitting on you.

In my experience, random failure with random auto-fix is exclusively a windows feature. Turning it off and on fixes the majority of windows glitches.

Doesn’t happen to me. Like I said, they sorted out their updates system, it doesn’t have such issues anymore.

Yes, do it in reverse. Ask her if she’s 25 first, then if she’s 50

That’s what it used to be. They managed to sort out their updates. Windows updates system is pretty good now. The issue is what’s included in those updates, like all the AI bloat. But that’s a different issue.

Forced updates are only an issue on corporate machines now, because it’s your IT guy pushing them and setting deadlines to update.

Also, Linux updates can completely break your system. Not often, but it can happen.

You mean the plumbers version?

When was GitHub down last? I must have missed it.

Last time it might have been down, I was probably still writing code and committing it locally and didn’t notice.
