That’s great to hear. I will have the exact same usage you say (jellyfin transcodes, camera decoding and openvino). Thanks for the info!

I might try this then. How do you run openvino, is it included in the docker container, or is it external?

My frigate box is a PC which only has one ethernet port, so I should buy a separate network card in order to do that, right? I was thinking of buying a 2.5gb card anyways.

I could do that, but I don’t know if the iGPU of my i7 8700 is good enough. Even then, if it means taking load off my CPU I think it would be worth it.

ventoy is what has worked best for me

Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.

VSCode or JetBrains Rider are good options for .net development, both available on Linux.

all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj

don’t forget if you have location enabled in your phone it tracks every single place you’ve been to

Neovim

orgmode with neovim on PC and orgzly on phone. syncing with syncthing

I don’t understand the nuclear energy hate. Of the nonrenewables it is the cleanest, and it is not always possible to run 100% renewable, (they depend on natural factors such as sun or wind), while nuclear is constant and always producing. Look at Germany and how it is polluting using gas and fossiles, it would be a million times better it they used nuclear energy.

why not just evaluate the apps themselves

looks more like a KDE issue rather than a flatpak issue

“Objectively”: Proceeds to give his opinion

GIMP is shipped by default with Linux distros

This isn’t true for most distros. Might be for some specific distro, but most distros I’ve used don’t come with GIMP pre installed.

Nvidia and Wayland work when used in compatible desktop environments. GNOME and KDE Plasma are supported. Something like sway, for exapmle, doesn’t support Nvidia.

Before switching to Linux I used to think: “Linux users really use the terminal to install apps?? So archaic”. Now I can’t be more grateful of being able to install everything from the terminal.

Using nvidia with Arch is super simple. Just select the nvidia proprietary drivers during installation (archinstall), and it’s done. It is great for gaming, steam is available in the multilib repository (enable it during the installation with archinstall). It is pretty much ready to go after the installation. You might have heard that it is super hard to install, but that is if you install it manually (without archinstall). Haven’t tried suse myself, so I can’t talk about it, but I can definitely recommend Arch, not only for gaming but for daily driving as well. Having the AUR spared me the headaches I had back when I used mint and fedora, and programs weren’t available in the distro repository.

If you have free time and you are willing to spend it in compiling all your programs
