Also a good point, this isn’t to knock products like the Fairphone since they’re offering extremely long product support windows, which should drive down demand for new devices and reduce their carbon footprint.

Both work well, but DaVinci is better with color grading, audio post-production, visual effects, collaboration, and format support, just to name a few. It’s a professional product made for professionals.

I’m really glad DaVinci Resolve exists to fill the void of a proper video editor too, Kdenlive just ain’t it for me.

It says “several” but I think it means “many”, important distinction to make there Microsoft.

Then I’ll have to dual-boot and see if I can get it to work with my GPU :D

If they somehow managed to patch it then that’s awesome, what does this say? I remember having a similar thing where it said one refresh rate but actually drew another.

As far as I know, unless Mint has patched something very recently, that 144hz monitor is throttled to 70 right now. You still probably have better frame times, which matters, but is obviously not the same as a higher refresh rate.

It’s just a fundamental flaw in X11’s design that can’t be fixed as far as I know.

I have 2 monitors, one 144hz and one 75hz. I can’t use anything that only has X for that reason :/

I just use a kb/mouse combo device and treat it like a PC and use VLC/online services/DVD drive to play media. It’s not super traditional but it feels pretty easy since most of it is in a web browser!

I would just use a tiny PC and connect it to the Internet, then use Linux and pirating services to build a library of stuff. Works well for me.

I use Debian 12 and couldn’t get it running, not sure how to find the older dependencies :/

Ohhh, I thought it was like a PDAnet alternative lol. Thanks anyways!

Yo I’m looking for something like that right now for Linux, what’s the name of it??

Any used ThinkPad will be an incredible value with Linux installed.

Package format controlled by Canonical that has a lot of issues currently

That made me laugh at my work desk ty

Arch user btw /s

This, plus I’ve found corruption to be a way bigger issue on Windows. I had been using a Win10 install for about 5 years and eventually it just stopped booting and I had to reformat. Maybe it was my SSD, but I’ve been running Linux on that same SSD ever since then with 0 issues.

Depends on what you’re breaking I guess. If it’s DE stuff, kernel stuff, etc. Usually I just find a good YouTube tutorial if I want to learn something new and don’t know what I’m doing.

Realistically you don’t have to if you’re not constantly tinkering, but if you’re changing a lot of low-level stuff without knowing what you’re doing, you have the ability to break things. If you don’t know how to fix them, then it’s easier to just reformat. Basically it’s a skill issue lol.
