I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).
Not specifically. It’s probably actually a configuration problem though, for any other program I’d delete or default the settings. Not sure how to do that for flatpak itself as I won’t use it.
You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
Check which version of ffmpeg it’s using and whether it has hardware acceleration for that codec.
Also bear in mind that you can’t hardware decode and hardware encode at the same time on the same device. If that’s what you’re trying to do it’s probably falling back on software silently in Windows instead of telling you.
Because one process will be running on the hardware, because of the way it works it can’t really share that hardware between processes. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a hardware limitation, but it seems to be enough of one that software hasn’t overcome it.
I don’t know what It was expecting but it wasn’t quite that. I was initially going to make a crass joke but decided to read it before… now I don’t want to make the joke.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)
