Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

governorkeagan,

+1 for Pop!_OS, it’s not given me any issues at all! Zorin OS, looks really good as well, especially if you want a more Windows (visually) experience

governorkeagan,

In my case, I’ve seen a lot of Discord groups linked with Matrix. As well as it being mentioned a whole bunch online

governorkeagan,

I’ve seen people complain about companies like Meta and Google but then not make any effort to try and change…people can be weird sometimes.

I suppose there are a lot of factors at play, but still 🤷🏻‍♂️

governorkeagan,

I’ve started using Matrix instead of Discord (not that I really ever used Discord).

governorkeagan,

It’s unfortunate but at least it’s moving.

governorkeagan,

I’ll give that a try!

governorkeagan,

It’s great for multitasking without slowing down any other programs you may be running at the same time.

Depending on what sort of programming you are doing, you might use more of the RAM than “normal”.

governorkeagan,

I’d been playing with the idea of building a Linux app. I used Post Haste on Windows to help me organise footage but haven’t found a substitute on Linux yet.

governorkeagan,

Have you tried booting in with a live usb? You might be able to do some sort of recovery from there.

Having said, I’m still very much a Linux noob.

I’m just adding useful extra information to the thread.

Sorry for being a bit of a dick, I think you mean that the file “is 3.8MB”.

The sentence I was referring to in my original comment.

Edit: added context

governorkeagan,

I’ll add some context for anyone who might be interested.

why does the poster image of c/linux have 3.8mb?

When speaking Portuguese (possibly Spanish as well) you would say it like this, a imagem tem….

It is quite common for native speakers of Portuguese (and probably Spanish) mix this up when speaking English.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

governorkeagan,

I think it’s a double edged sword.

On the one side, you can see it as bringing more attention to Linux and allowing a broader audience to find Linux.

On the flip side, the threads about which distro is best can get very toxic.

governorkeagan,

PopOS is fantastic!

(solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly

I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06...

governorkeagan,

OP is running on bare metal. They used the VM for testing and have now moved on from that

governorkeagan,

I’ve seen other comments suggest possibly trying a different distro, if that is the case I’d highly recommend Pop!_OS. They have an Nvidia specific ISO that works brilliantly, I’ve not had any issues with it.

governorkeagan,

Is it only on YouTube? Have you tried another browser or watching a video locally?

governorkeagan,

I came across it a little while back (after watching a Linux Experiment video) but haven’t gotten into it yet.

The video (if anyone is curious): tilvids.com/w/5XTPqzq54ENNm7kELSaoTw

governorkeagan,

This was the first I’d heard of it and from my first impression it seemed like it could be a solid beginner distributor.

Glad to see you do recommend it to beginners. This would probably be easier for my partner to get into compared to Pop!_OS (I’ll be testing this soon though!)

governorkeagan,

I’ve not used Tuta but currently use Proton. What do you prefer from Tuta over Proton? Genuinely curious.

governorkeagan,

Reading this is making me want to try Arch on my second drive just so I can say “I use Arch btw” lol

governorkeagan,

I can’t wait for these changes to go live on TILvids.com

Thank you for all the hard work!!

governorkeagan,

Same!

governorkeagan,

Have you tried the Zoom web app? They have a link on their site where you can join a meeting in your browser to test if your webcam/mic work correctly

[SOLVED] Davinci Resolve Plugin Issue on Nobara

I’m currently daily driving Pop!_OS and absolutely love it! I’ve even riced it a little. In the almost 2 months that I have been using Linux as my main OS I have seen a lot of talk about Nobara. I’ve got a spare SSD in my system so I did a quick install on there to see if it would be worth moving. My main priority is...

governorkeagan,

Thank you!

I ran an update after installing Nobara from the welcome page thing. I also ran a dnf update later.

I’ll have a deeper dive tomorrow and try figure out what package has libharfbuzz. Any tips on how to do this effectively?

Resolve is an interesting case since they only officially support 3 distros. They have a .run file which installs the application. resolve on linux

governorkeagan, (edited )

I just checked on Pop!_OS to see what version I’m running there because I know everything works fine. harfbuzz isn’t even installed…

When I’m finished work later today I’ll have a look on Nobara for the version installed cs expected etc.

EDIT: I solved the issue.I came across a similar issue on the GitHub repo for harfbuzz and while reading the log file again I had an ah-ha moment. More details in the post.
