@michaelcopple1736 22 күн бұрын

I have been using Linux since 2003. It was a CLI install each time and very tedious. It is sad that former, tainted and turned off users have to spread some misguidance that modern Linux, 20 years later is super hard to use. It is very easy compared to my days first learning it. Most of the OS was heavily manipulated in the BASH and needed some experience with command line. There was a fairly good user support community rising up at that time and only continues to grow to this day. I just two days ago dumped any dual boot support for M$ after their latest AI injection into the ARM supported laptops, because we all can see where that is going. They continue to infringe on user privacy and Linux is where we can take control of what we own and build.

Welcome to the community! ❤ Having a windows installation on a separate drive that you can select by pressing a key when you boot (bios key for selecting boot device, just like when you install with a usb stick) is really not a bad idea. Might give you a small sense of safety in case your linux install would for some reason become unbootable and demands a repair. In those cases it can sometimes be pretty nice as a new user to have windows to fall back on, no shame in that! Then in a year or so, when you realize "I haven't booted into windows for more than a few months", you remove it completely and your neckbeard magically grows a little.. xD

I still wonder why most people won't mention Krita as a Photoshop alternative, even though it is both as feature-rich as PS and has a huge plugin ecosystem, while being backed by the KDE community. People can try it on Windows or MacOS before switching to Linux too. Adobe software is advanced amateur and hobbyist software anyway, it is not professional-grade. (Stability issues, compatibility issues, data corruption and less-than-desirable configurability/customizability are just a few issues of Adobe's software)

Krita has relatively low exposure, especially on Windows. Even though I'm technically working a lot in this space, I had no idea it existed until I randomly stumbled upon it. Being mainly advertised as just a drawing program also doesn't help it in that regards. From a usability perspective, I think that Krita is way closer to Photoshop

I would say there is still a couple big missing features with discord on linux no audio when screensharing which is very disappointing that this still isnt implemented even tho third party clients like vesktop support it with their own api (venmic) Then there is no hardware encoding when screen sharing so the performance is still not good enough, then with hardware encoding your still using your cpu as there is no texture encoding support yet under chromium(this allows the gpu to encode fully instead of parsing it onto the cpu and back) obs is getting this support for all hardware vendors on linux like amd, nvidia, intel in their next release, so the encoding will all be done on the gpu instead. Jake from discord also said that wayland support is arriving official this year possibly but its on their lowest list of things to do which sucks :/ Great video nonetheless, i like using gimp also, took me a while to learn most things vs learning Photoshop but it was worth it in the end as i dont need windows :)

If it works on x11, use that and just wait and I have a feeling that sooner or later it will also work on wayland.

I've wanted to make the switch for years, but the 2 primary reasons I haven't are: 1. Lack of a good photo editor. I'm not technically a professional, but still do a ton of photo editing. I'm pretty anti-adobe, so use the Affinity suite instead, but Gimp isn't even close (though I do continue to check in on the project as well as try semi-alternatives like Krita). I say that with much love for open source tools and the devs that work on them (including making financial donations to projects like Blender, Krita). 2. I use Resolve for editing, and it's something I really need to "just work" and work well (I have an nvidia gpu for exactly that reason). This might be a non-issue, but with only one computer, it's been hard to really test out a full installation of Linux with Resolve to see what works, and what doesn't (including codecs) There are likely to be other issues too that I haven't thought of or encountered without doing a proper install. Though thinking about trying to do an install onto an external usb-c connected drive, to really try testing it. Just need to find the time. Thanks for a great video 👍

I got old Logitech keyboard I ready like it, but making it working on Linux it was cmake nightmare for 2 days of trial and error, because it wouldn't run without sysemd, but systemd wouldn't run until I turn off that graphic bg picture on boot, once you start switching desktops with little finger you can't just stop you will do anything to bring this feature back, switching between any tutorial and software is so fast and comfy with g5&g6 keys.

I'd been considering Linux for a while. Then Windows 10 came out and it wouldn't run on my computer, so I switched to Linux and haven't missed a thing from not being on Windows anymore. As for the programs I use, I don't do video or photo editing but I do use Gimp when I need to mess with a photo for anything. I use VLC to watch things that aren't online. Discord is the only social media I do and I use Brave and Firefox to get online. Programs he didn't mention in the video, I use Vim as my text editor / development platform. I just Joplin for my note taking (OneNote equivalent) and I use Thunderbird for my email. Come to think of it, there is one thing I miss about Windows and that is that I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse and I cannot configure the extra keys on the keyboard because Logitech doesn't make a control center for Linux. But that's fine, I have created my own by editing my bash files and now don't need those extra keys.

Do you think RocDecode available in the latest version of ROCm 6.1 will be something that will allow Davinci mp4 support on AMD cards? I wonder if it will be available for owners of graphics cards on RDNA2 architecture from the RX 6000 series.

@MichaelNROH 23 күн бұрын

I think that it's not a technical issue with AMD cards, but rather a "politics" thing. I'm not sure where I picked this up, but NVIDIA does ship the codec capabilities (or something like that) on its own as well, while AMD doesn't. I can't remember what actual problem was, but something with Codecs, Encoding and AMD not providing it in the same way. AV1 however might be the solution soon. We are still in the transitioning period, which will take some time, but eventually everyone will end up on AV1 capable hardware

@mikoajneronowicz582 23 күн бұрын

@@MichaelNROH Ok. I realize that. This is not a technical issue just a legal issue. Related to the license of mp4 formats. hence my question. From what AMD developers write: rocDecode, a new ROCm component that provides high-performance video decode support for AMD GPUs. With rocDecode, you can decode compressed video streams while keeping the resulting YUV frames in video memory. With decoded frames in video memory, you can run video post-processing using ROCm HIP, avoiding unnecessary data copies via the PCIe bus. I thought this was AMD's answer to Nvidia's NVEC.

I encode to H.264 with an AMD GPU in Resolve on my Windows. What do you encode to with AMD GPU on Linux? Also, for image editing, I would somewhat disagree. Photoshop is established and has too much leverage power to lose its position. However, I've been using Krita for the last 5 or so years coming from a Photoshop background. I did not lose anything. I like the process in Krita more, it's somewhat more intuitive to me (although this is a preference). But there are other solutions, it's not only Photoshop.

yo I noticed Davinci Resolve isn't properly picking up your cursor theme. if you want, you can fix this by symlinking your preferred cursor theme to a folder named "default" either in ~/.icons or in /usr/share/icons (or wherever your distro puts globally installed cursor themes). this will fix it for all apps that have issues finding your cursor theme btw.

I also don't like the bar at the bottom, and I mean how it is, it reminds me of windows 11, I don't like the start menu it has.

I have a EFI dual boot setup with Linux Mint and HoloIso for the Steam games that Mint has problems running like Trailmakers and Starship Troopers: Extermination. When i installed Krita to edit the default Linux icon for the HoloISO one on my EFI custom boot, it has crashed the EFI boot terribly so i reverted back and uninstalled Krita. That being said, HoloIso is strong for games compatibility (even with some anti-cheats) but it is limited for customization and versatility. Bazzite might be the answer to that but I never experienced Fedora Kernal based distros before... I wish someone could make a HoloIso vs Bazzite video to help me decide lol XD.

But IF that happened, the distro is the problem, not the application.

@baccusx13 Ай бұрын

@@marcusjohansson668 1) Are you refering to the Debian version of Mint? because the Mint I use is the one based with the Ubuntu repositories. In any case, for my everyday usage, I prefer to stick with Mint for compatibility with Ardour (music creation and mixing program). For my gaming purposes, I am more inclined to try something else but I will use a gaming oriented Distro and this is why Garuda and ChimeraOS, which are both based on Arch (like HoloIso) are also considered. 2) The moment I used Krita to customize one of the icons in my EFI theme boot loader, ALL the images icons changed to the Krita icon logo (including the ones on my boot file) and I received a thumb file cache error. This reverted back to normal when i uninstalled Krita and reinstalled my EFI boot loader theme. The reason I think that the distro is not the problem here is plainly because Krita is verified on Linux Mint and has all the repositories and packages where the EFI theme was not so it might not like being messed with.
