After seeing the one where they slam Dan’s face with a ball and you see his skull moving under his skin I realized there can be entire fields of study around insanely fast cameras. What we see in real time doesn’t even compare. Also the one where Gav shows how CRTs work is still my favorite.

most of us that gave up windows did so because it had tons of issues. Don’t act like windows is flawless, MS stopped putting in work.

I could do that but I only have a couple of things in keepass so it’s easy to manage and backups are not very frequent. Bitwarden has EVERYTHING else and syncs across all my devices, if all that stuff was in keepass it would get combersome to generate backups every time I create a new entry or change a password. I could use nextcloud or something to sync the backup files but honestly this has worked well for me. I just setup keepass basically once, create a backup somewhere else, then use bitwarden for everything else.

Alternatively, plenty of people trust bitwarden completely. Honesty I’d trust bitwarden more than a self hosted solution that I’ll likely neglect and probably fail to keep up with best practices because I barely got it working in the first place, also screw ISPs that use CGNAT, it’s 2023, give me an ipv6 address already.

It’s going to come down to how much you trust the provider but I’d say bitwarden is pretty solid. I use it for stuff I’m not particularly concerned about (like disney+ or some random forum) and I use keepass for stuff that would be particularly bad if it was compromised like banking credentials, I keep backups of my keepass DB on separate physical media.

I also use a completely separate bitwarden account for all of my work accounts, keep that stuff separated, I only log into it from work devices and I never log into personal accounts from work devices.

You could autostart a script instead that checks if the session is KDE and then launches the program if true.

ugh, I’m glad i’ve moved on from IT but I’ve had many arguments with ‘security managers’ about some bogus qualys findings. If the CVE is that a user could do a thing in an unexpected way, but they have permission to do the thing that is a bug not a vulnerability. IMO It’s only a vulnerability if someone that is not allowed to do something can do the forbidden thing.

yes, i think they’re working on support for custom games though

can you launch it from the command line and see if it spits out any useful info before the crash?

Just for clarification, were you able to read the card from this machine before?

I had a similar issue where my SD card reader was not able to read a card with a newer standard like SDXC or whatever it was and i had to find a newer reader.

Honestly unless it’s legit like a passport application, any form i fill out gets bogus PII, they don’t need to know anything about me.

I’m using the official dock and i have not had anything like that happen yet, though i’m only driving one display. There was a good article a while back about USB-C docks and funky implementation decisions that cause weird drops, like using DP to hdmi chips that overheat. Let me see if i can find it.

So they ‘invented’ moving video from a small device to a large device in 2010? That’s a dumb patent and they are trolls. I hate google, but patents like that are stupidly vague and stifle progress.

Based on your needs any distro is probably fine. They’re pretty much all free, i don’t think you’ll find a better answer from internet randos than just booting from live usb and trying them out. I use arch btw.

I guess my point is they made an easily accessible experience that is not frustrating to use for the average user which will help dispell the belief that linux is hard to use or that gaming is only for windows. They provided a console like experience and made it hard for normies to break it. You’re free to install silverblue on the thing. Personally i’ll probably re-image with arch later but for my use so far I haven’t really have to change anything. I haven’t run into an issue that couldn’t be solved with a flatpak yet.

They’ve made my life more enjoyable for reasonable cost, they bring vast amounts of resources to open source projects, and they deliver a platform that the least technical of people can use an enjoy. You’re free to say they are not your friend, but i won’t make perfect the enemy of good.

While what you say is true it is also irrelevant to OPs question. SUSE is a corporation, so is canonical, so is mozilla’s corporate wing. can you clarify what your point was, pal?

edit: ah, i used the word corporate, fair point then. I meant in the sense of vendor lock to defacto standards rather than ‘corporate bad’.

SteamOS is making huge strides for adoption, i look forward to more people being freed from corporate lock in.

there are folks that do audio stuff on linux and from what i can tell it is a lot of work and your workflows will change a bit.

Check out Unfa on youtube, my man does everything using linux apps.

Trying to do live audio stuff in wine may be a struggle, from what I gather most audio production folks switch to a realtime kernel build which may chip away performance on the very top end but prevents lost samples because of competing resources. With that in mind I don’t know how windows apps would perform for live audio. BUT if you’re just processing already captured stuff then you might be fine.

All that to say take a peek and see if ardour can support the plugins you want or has an alternative that can meet the same goals. It probably won’t be as easy but I bet you’ll find something that works.

my impression was that the scheduler helps prevent starvation, so while it may not squeeze out the absolute top performance it feels smoother because it stays responsive even if a single thread is going crazy. I use arch btw.
