That and using multiple instances of the browser instead of one instance with many tabs helped me a lot. If i have to switch tasks i go to a new workspace and only open the software related to that task there. Once I’m done i just close everything in the workspace and move back to the previous one that is the same way it was before i switch.
Which video editor did you use ? Mint shouldnt fell clunky out of the box, maybe the editor you choose was too much for your hardware, or you had some hardware/instalation specific issue, Da Vinci Resolve is quite heavy on resources, maybe Kdenlive would perform better on this machine.
There are many lightweight basic video editors o linux, give them a try to check if the clunkynes go away.
Yes, on classic fps you could spaw a console that will drop down from the top os the screen, some terminal emulators allow you to do that.
I like it because then i have the terminal always open that i just draw from the top of the screen with a keypress
On KDE i do that with Yakuake, and on gnome with tilix
I use quake style terminals, and often start writing a file and completely forget about it and turn off the computer, and only remember what i left behind when i find the random recovery files around, so :w a lot is quite useful for me.
Not exactly a piracy tool, but syncthing is quite useful to keep pc and other devices in parity if you don’t plan to leave one on all the time.
You didn’t mention gaming, but if you plan to use your tablet for emulators, you can sync save files with it if the emulators are compatible cross pc and android like ppsspp.
To be fair, nowadays malware behavior is more likely to come from the companies than the cracks.
Curators are a good way too, some blogs or podcasts do a lot of heavy lifting in discovering new shows, some communities with similar tastes are also good to find content, way better than algos and ads.
Guess the ghost dog wants the country to starve. I hope he doesn’t get what he wants.
Yes, for things too complex to do in sed but not complex enough to need a “normal” programming language like python.
Doesn’t have offline support, but it’s easy to setup, ytmusic vanced on mobile with ytmusic with ublock origin on desktop.
First time i saw that i went mad, why the fuck i need to download 6gb to compile a cpp module, on linux gcc is only a few mb.
That’s why you don’t make your systems dependent on any of those tools. If Mongo goes crazy, you add an implementation to another document database, test to see if performance is good enough, and start to migrate to another database.
There’s no problem in using proprietary shit. The problem is marrying stuff you can’t rely on, building your house on land you don’t own.
That’s also one of the reasons why it isn’t good to use very unique features from any service, because once you start relying on it, you get locked, AWS may have a billion services, i would normally only use those that other providers also have.
It’s easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don’t know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.
Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.
Well, Apple uses a Unix like OS, that have a lot of nice things in common with Linux.
I agree that the school environment should be more motivating, but there’s no way to compete with apps and games designed to be addictive, even adults have trouble avoiding their phones at work.
Oppression breeds rebellion, why relying on a software you have zero control over, that the company that owns it respects you so litle that they pre install adware and spyware, learn to use Linux or BSD, you don’t have to use it all the time, but learn the basics, understand how this machine you use so much works, seize that litle piece of freedom back, and even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.
Replacing good legacy will always be a struggle. X11 works pretty well and has been stable for decades. Most of the things that suck about it already have workarounds.
The advantages of Wayland are not directly visible for the end user. The security part will be great once it’s completely integrated on the distributions to give granular permissions to software. The simpler apis and greater performance will help libraries creators, but most developers don’t touch X directly and won’t touch Wayland either.
Being stable for a couple of months is not good enough. People will use it once distros trust it enough to make it default, and this will probably only happen once Wayland or its compatibility tools work with most software and major applications work significantly better on it.
That’s why i like command pallets. Just fuzzy search the command, and if you do the action a lot bind a key combination.
Subnautica, Yooka-Laylee, gta5, dishonored, they gave away a lot of good stuff.
