A wise decision.

OBS rocks!

Glad Nvidia has seen the writing on the walls and isn’t treating desktop Linux like a second-class citizen.

Secret300, to linux in PipeWire Camera Support is Coming to OBS Studio for Linux Desktops

What’s the advantage of this?

@shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

It’ll allow for streaming from a camera directly into OBS. Unless I’m truly horrible with OBS, I currently can only get my screen and audio on a recording. I haven’t found an option to also have my camera feed be recorded along with audio, even with my camera as the mic. Meaning there’s no option to have your face in the bottom corner of a screen recording. So this will allow that to be possible.

Secret300,

Ah okay thanks for the explanation

tun, to linux in Open Source NVIDIA Vulkan Driver NVK Reaches Vulkan 1.0 Conformance

I have been reading news about NVK release 1.0

Only this time I see NVK mentioned as open source Nvidia driver.

Can you use the AMF encoder on Radeon cards with this?

cybersandwich,

I should have said with the mesa drivers. :(

Sentau, (edited )

While I don’t know how, I do know that there is a way to have mesa for most things while having AMF encoder for encoding. Nobara has this set up out of the box so there is some way. Maybe you could search for it using a search engine

cybersandwich,

Does it really? I know when I looked into it a bit ago the main dev for nobara had a video about how to install it and use it but it didn’t let you split that out. You could quickly change back and forth between mesa and amdgpu but if you tried to run amf with mesa it would hard lock and crash

Sentau, (edited )

It has been some time since I tried out Nobara so I might be wrong. I just remember that Nobara page lists having amf encoder support out of the box as a feature

Ah! Then like me you can use VKCapture. https://github.com/nowrep/obs-vkcapture.

It's not quite as fast as hardware accelerated, but it's as good as you can otherwise get.

yukijoou, to linux in OBS Studio 30 Released with Support for Intel QSV H264, HEVC, and AV1 on Linux

huh… couldn’t you already get those through gstreamer or vaapi?

zurohki,

Those can do the heavy lifting, but OBS still has to ask them to do it.

yukijoou,

yeah, but i mean, i already had the option to use those in OBS!

interceder270,

Are you saying something else users will have to learn and configure themselves to get working?

yukijoou,

no, it was available as an option in OBS already…

flx,

on intel cards?

merthyr1831, to linux in NVIDIA 545.29.02 Linux Graphics Driver Is Out with Wayland Improvements, More

Good that nVidia is being forced to improve wayland support. Bad that it appears that nVidia’s code appear to be as spaghetti and broken as X11’s

Piya, to linux in Debian Bookworm and Bullseye Users Receive Important Linux Security Updates

This update underscores Debian’s commitment to user security. Bookworm and Bullseye users should promptly apply these important Linux security updates to enhance system protection. Staying current with these patches ensures a resilient and secure computing environment. Debian’s proactive approach is commendable in addressing potential vulnerabilities and maintaining the integrity of users’ Linux systems.

The feature is a privacy nightmare. I wish it was done locally.

mik,

Firefox Translations is an add-on that helps translate websites in Firefox without using the cloud. Additionally, Firefox version 118 introduces a built-in translation feature, allowing you to perform translations locally within your browser, prioritizing your privacy and security. This feature enables you to effortlessly surf the web in your preferred language. For in-depth guidance on utilizing this feature, explore our Firefox built-in fullpage translation guide.

I think it is translated locally.

possiblylinux127,

Oh that is pretty cool

LoveSausage, to linux in Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

Most are talking about the laptops. I have my eyes on a Mac mini to run asahi on. The biggest downsides with Mac hardware is reperability and upgrades. Some issues the Mac mini doesn’t have Vs laptops is ofc is no battery replacement , screen and keyboard webcam, mouse to use. and there are hubs for installing more storage. Ram is ofc a big minus. Looking at m2 16 GB 512 mb. And extend storage with something like this macworld.com/…/mac-mini-upgrade-hub-storage-ether… 40 Gbs thunderbolt would make it easy to extend storage at least.

As long as it doesn’t break I would take this over any alternative minipc . I use my ThinkPad today but 99% of use is at home anyway so no need for portability. Need to wait some time to get the extra funds for it but something like that…

d3Xt3r,

As long as it doesn’t break I would take this over any alternative minipc

May I ask why though? One of the biggest advantages of using a MacBook is the performance-battery efficiency. If you’re going to get a Mac mini and loading Linux, you lose that advantage.

Unless you’re looking specifically for an ARM64 machine for whatever reason, I think an AMD mini PC, say something like the Minisforum EliteMini UM780 XTX would be technically a better option - you get dual NVMe, dual 2.5G network ports, USB 4.0, Oculink for even more b/w than Thunderbolt, and far more I/O options in general. Not to mention, excellent Linux support.

LoveSausage,

I will have to look into it , but all reviews/comparisons I have seen has been always that the Mac beats the others. I do not game , I want audio and some video editing besides code.

Power consumption is a point as well as I am planning on going off the powergrid eventually.

neige, to linux in Zorin OS 17 Beta Released with Quick Settings, Spatial Desktop, and More

Neon and Zorin only bring further division

Pantherina, to linux in Zorin OS 17 Beta Released with Quick Settings, Spatial Desktop, and More

What is that a fork of? Are they having Wayland support?

Audacity9961, (edited )

It’s an Ubuntu-derivative using Gnome, but with a large number of tweaks to make it very user friendly out of the box. They have a variety of pre-made layouts in a beautiful theme that can pretty well replicate Windows 7, 10, 11 and Mac layouts among others, as well as a clear option to include Nvidia drivers OOTB in install media, and a better WINE experience for example.

It supports wayland just fine.

In my view it has all the benefits of Mint without many of the drawbacks stemming from its custom DE.

I personally don’t use it, preferring Gentoo or Fedora, but I think it is a very good choice for beginners or those people who only use a computer for web browsing and home office use.

Pantherina,

Damn that sounds like a great option! I thought they had some weird own Desktop.

Audacity9961,

I would definitely recommend installing it in a VM or liveUSB and trying it out. It won me over, when I thought it would just be another themed distro.

Pantherina,

Do you know if their Desktop uses some special packages and if it can just be installed on other Distros? Not a Fan of Ubuntu haha
