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.

"Objectively": Proceeds to give his opinion

why not just evaluate the apps themselves

all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj

If you want microsoft word just use windows. There's no sense in a "Piracy-based" distro, what would it be? Having wine and qbittorrent pre installed?

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.

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

check fd-find, "A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'". Really good trust me

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

I use Joplin. It supports syncing with OneDrive, Dropbox and NextCloud. Also supports encryption which is great if you are syncing to onedrive or dropbox.

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.

IRCHighway ebooks channel is great

When I don't want to give money to a specific company that I dislike. EA is an example.

I moved to sopuli.xyz because of this. I can still subscribe to all the communities I like so no point in staying in an instance that's constantly down.

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

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

Edit: I'm actually using orgzly revived, a community maintained version of orgzly, since orgzly is no longer mantained

For anyone who is interested in note taking in your everyday editor like vim or emacs, orgmode is an emacs tool (in neovim there is a clone plugin) for note taking, todos, agendas, etc. It uses a format similar to markdown, and a good part is that with the orgzly app you receive notifications for your events. So basically you can use orgmode as a calendar as well (I do!).

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.

The -F fsr didn't work for me, but the resolutions that are between 1080 and 1440, and 1440 and 2160 are fsr upscaled from what I understand, so that worked for me.

ventoy is what has worked best for me

Neovim

I wish more apps where officially supported, instead of saying it supports Linux and providing a .deb. Good thing the community provides unofficial flatpaks at least.

I have a zenbook as well (not the same model) and I only had problems with Windows. When coming back from suspension it would be hot and the screen had like white fog on the edges. I tried to fix it but with no success. Frustrated with that I decided to give Linux a try and never had that problem again.

I assume you changed the ssd, I didn't know that was possible, I thought it was soldered to the motherboard. Is it possible you received a faulty drive from WD?

for simplicity I think sxiv supports ebooks

ffmpeg

I use flatpak for all GUI apps I use.

Thanks for recommending gamescope. I was trying so hard but it wasn't working, turns out it was because I was using the flatpak version of steam and gamescope. When I installed the fedora steam (rpm-fusion) and gamescope, it worked without any issue.

I know that it is possible to run gamescope on flatpak steam, but it didn't work for me.

4k FSR boosted my fps from 60 to 100 and it maybe looks even better, it blew my mind.

I understand your perspective but the steps you mentioned are what you'd expect when installing an os. Even windows 11 would require you to turn on TPM which, for some, might be a super painful experience.

I'm on Linux and I also use hexchat

that surely is the issue. you can convert it to mp4 with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4 If you want to keep subtitles this will probably work: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text output.mp4

I do it like this. Manage calibre on my PC, and copy the 'Calibre Library' contents to the server through ftp.

If that is a true priority, then you do not want Android TV.

Not even a raspberry pi with lineage os?

You would also be hesitant with youtube and netflix

I know. As I said, I'd be using Jellyfin for the most part.

in my case if I use mkv it starts transcoding and mp4 works fine on every device (desktop, android app, Chromecast, browser)

You can download the French movie and take the track with ffmpeg

you could double check the codec with mediainfo. also check it is mp4.

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.
