For Resolve, I can confirm the solution is to run a script to get the source videos in line of what its terribly picky free version linux self wants. Small price to pay imo :D Have you tried ShotCut? Ended up using that for my largest and most professional project of 2025 with how clunky Kden was.

What's the best used 10" or larger x86 tablet under €200 to throw linux onto? Something that could act as a home-automation kind of station, surveillance, perhaps while also running a server? The idea is to mount it via VESA on the wall, like.

This is the latest safe script to check if any Arch linux based systems you've got are infected, due to careless usage of AUR. github.com/nightdevil00... AUR has never even pretended to be safe, even Steam lets malware games go live sometimes. Surely not a campaign trying to make Arch look bad huh?

Got a want and need for a used x86 Tablet with either several USB-C or the ability to work as an external monitor with HDMI input, but what are the options for full functionality in linux now?

No idea what has changed but Davinci Resolve is suddenly fine and functional in linux. Like the only quirks were downloading the regular installer, putting it in the folder of an AUR assistant, then making the package. That's what I told myself. Then I realized last time I tried was last summer.

Of course, P2P brought a lot of good, including giving the rightsholders a few reality checks that we're still trying to pass to the megacorps and east-Asian companies. ("HOW DARE YOU PIRATE WHAT WE WON'T SELL OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN COUNTRY")

It wrecked online gaming which I did on a software 56k modem in a Compaq. Dialup to the next country over and still being able to compete, playing from Sweden on US East servers with pings of around 70-80 and performing more than well enough, had 130 ping to a server in Seattle with some packetloss.

This week I've spoken the gospel of old thinkpads that keep the thinkpad vibe and repairability and durability, four times, including this very post. No more "can you help me with my macbook" and it's an ancient model that cannot even sideload into a usably modern browser for usage on certed sites.

One linux oddity I've got is that I need resizable bar active (in bios!) to be able to play Monster Hunter Wilds at all, or it'll dump on startup. But if I leave it off, the performance is vastly better and more stable in all the games and software, frame-pacing goes from migraine to flawless. Eh?

I like to say "You need an old ThinkPad" (2012+), but I see people buying what old RAM and circuit boards they find, just to use chompers to cut off edge connectors in order to recover the absolutely minuscule amounts of gold in them, so the prices shoot up even for DDR3. It's so bad.

The good thing about the mysterious way many distros went to enforce Wayland adoption leading to a horrid time mainly for Nvidia users, is that they were used to Windows being an unreliable crashy buggy pile of shit, too.

For all the good that Gimp 3.0 brought, it is a uselessly unstable slow bloated laggardy pile of shiiiiiiite I'd rather not use unless hard-killing the per-effect undos that seem to be related to it all. Maybe a Ryzen 7845 with 32 gigs of ram isn't enough for it. When saving files, it's like a C64.

Once upon a time, I owned the domain goat dot se. Some Counter-Strike clan asked if they could have it, so I decided to end its short meme-life with a worksafe parody of the .cx original and let them have it. Now it's on the huge list of parked domains that just sit and rot until a buyer comes....

I thought about my domain after noticing how much traffic the AI scraper scum and filth ate up, compared to actual humans, downgraded my account and turned it into just a www-redirect and saved a fair bit of money on it. Argh :<

"Windows sucks. I'm using DOS from now on." That would be me the moment I get a souped up minty fresh Vaio P of the prettiest fanciest blingiest model with the best possible keyboard, with fresh battery and solid state storage, but with a CLI only linux instead of DOS. It's the dream.

Largely, sadly, simply: Nvidia users still best avoid all things Wayland and instead use some variety of Xorg/X11/XLibre. Unless of course, they'd be okay with experiencing nonsensical sometimes random crashes and lockups. (Sold my Nvidia rig last fall. Their linux situation improves very slowly.)

Instead of a desktop I use a little box from MinisForum mounted on the back of the monitor, it can use external graphics if I need to go that route in the future. That with a sturdy reliable old laptop = so happy with the setup I'll probably never go fullsize desktop again.

During a recent test of random distros on random laptops, I finally ran into the audio issue that stems from the device output volume being set to zero by default, while the actual volume control was adjustable and showed no problems. Been waiting since 2018 to encounter that one!

Microsoft is screwing up Windows so rapidly that I wonder if they're on the list of corporations and organizations being slowly and silently terminated on purpose just so that a foreign power can purchase patent portfolios from them on the day they give up and start selling off.

Updated my Arch to 6.18 today, all-AMD system, is it just me or did performance genuinely go through the roof for especially Monster Hunter Wilds?

I've found nothing but scary boutique prices of what exists. My dream would be a full-size keyboard (for typing) Sony Vaio P kinda thing, so you just fold it open and start writing. I'd easily live a terminal only life with one of those.

Ever grab an old laptop, because you need to set up a little automated machine for a week? And try a few varieties of linux in it, including MX? Only to find it's still too god-awful terrible slow and useless? Celeron N2800s with 2gb ram should be better than this, Atom N455 felt faster, wtf.

Recently lost a 2018 phone only because its battery became a spicy pillow, too risky to even have indoors. No repair-shops nearby. Picked up a 2012 ThinkPad X230, found I could switch to it for 90% of what my $500 monitor-mounted PC from last year is used for. It boggles the mind.
