• Imagine a day when NVK being better on Linux than Nvidia's proprietary driver. Man….

• endeavourOS is the only distro I don't see any need to move away from.

• I installed the new Inkscape on Windows 10, and I got a libsigc-2.0-0.dll is missing. Now I had 3.1 and it worked. A repair install fixed it.

• nvidia probably weigh up the advantages of having an OS driver against getting non OS compatible code that they've probably licensed from other companies out of the code base. They're probably a bit worried about allowing amd and intel to view any advanced code in their driver. probably less the latter and more the former because licenses can get very tangled in closed source software esp when parts of the driver code is probably 20+ years old at this point

• Ayone here knows a good linux distro for a windows laptop, that does not drain the battery in like 2 hours, usually i have like 4 to 5 hours with windows, same usage 😅

• To play the devil's advocate, on the NVidia drivers topic "who are you competing now ? All other GPUs have open source drivers" is totally not an argument. It's like saying "hey, look, those who are far behind you already showed the tricks they're using, why don't you show them too?"

  To be clear, I don't support NVidia at all, I hate how shady and greedy they are. I'm just saying that the argument above is senseless, it's not an actual argument. You know who has a reputation of bad video drivers ? AMD and Intel with ARC. Can you make the argument that NVidia won't help their competition (possibly massively) by making their drivers open source ? Until this point is moot, NVidia will have an incentive to NOT open source their drivers. Fortunately AMD and Intel are both making good progress, so we might actually get there. Or maybe Nouveau will progress until they get good for games too, who knows ?

• I hate that inkscape insists on gtk, it used to have a win32 gui in the 0.92.5 release. But now it's gone. Gtk is a thick and ugly interface that takes up a lot of space. They might as well make it qt. But they don't do that either. It also makes me very sad that they remove the sliders in the brush settings and persist in this and no one makes a fork.

• A shame endevour has removed those community installation because the developers no longer maintaining the project :/

  they were great if you wanted an arch distro with a preconfigured DE… At least we still have i3 Since last year I started using arch with sway, but when I started with DE I used the bspwm edition and it worked great.

  Also looking forward to add ons on firefox android. I mostly watch youtube videos on my pc because I use ublock with a lot of filters to block certain channels and videos that I'm not interested that appears on my feed, recommendations and searches (and even If on the android app I touch on "Not interested" option, they keep appearing…)

• You shouldn't be using HandBrake if all you want to do is change the container: mp4<=>mkv<=>mov For that you should be using something like MKVToolNix GUI or tsMuxerGUI. Only use HandBrake if you want to change the codec, e.g. AV1 to h.264, or if you want to change the resolution from, say, 8k to 4k or 1080, something like that.

• If you ask me I'd say firefox is supporting Adons because of googles recent wrong behaviours hurting overall users.
  Google is building a foundation to make a war against the most used extensions. Firefox will be there to save us.

• remember to like that smash button? 😀

• Happy birthday Inkscape!!🥳🍷🍹🍻🍺🥂🥳

• linux news!

• the GAINZ never stop! ACAUNTABUILITY CLUB!

• What I am still missing in distroxbox and toolbox also went this route now is that you can not isolate your home directory and it also doesn’t work with another user to kind try to avoid getting those mixed up

• EndeavourOS is awesome. Been using it for two years now.
  Thanks for the video, brother.

• Best part of the video, HandBreak. A wonderful software. A must have in your tool box. Thanks for the other content, i am also scared for my wallet with the Steam part. See you

• Inkscape rocks! 🤘

• I DO LIKE what you do here.. Thank you!

• thangs givin? Nobody cares about US only hollidays 🤣😂😂

• "Nvidia who are you completing with now?", I could not agree more.

• As a gamer, I strongly recommend EndeavourOS for gaming on Linux. It's fast and reliable with always up-to-date drivers and kernel. For 1 year now, this is my main OS with KDE. Prior to that, I used Manjaro for 2 years, and the now dead ChakraOS for several years before that.

  Manjaro had stupid issues time to time (like old keys and dumping vaapi), while Endeavour had none. And don't be confused by the term that EndeavourOS is a "terminal centric" distro, you will rarly do anything more complex than running sudo pacman -Syu (but of corse, even the regular updates can be done from the GUI by clicking on the notification).

• GOG has a sale too for another two days.
  Didn't pick up much either, it seems like I am happy with most games I have right now.

• Thanks, but I think I'll stay with the FBReader. On your mention, I checked if Calibre is in the Mint repo (it is) and I installed it.
  1. It's huge, and it includes a lot of things I don't think are necessary for a book reader.
  2. It wants to create a unique folder, and have all your ebooks only in that folder. It wants to get those ebooks itself, from its own trusted source. It doesn't want other apps like Libre Office or FBReader to be able to get into that folder. It doesn't want to use a folder you already have with ebooks in it, it doesn't like that old stuff… I don't know if it has a book-store like an Apple product, where you can only get books that are for sale, through iTunes (equivalent) I didn't get that far in. It came off my system again in less than 10 minutes. It must be free and open source software or it wouldn't be in the Mint repo, but it sure as Hell doesn't feel like free & open source software. It feels exactly like Micro$oft or Apple. It's not trying to help you do things, except maybe spend money. It's trying to prevent you doing those things the cheap & easy & open way.

• I wonder if I can use the official AMD drivers in distro box? It sucks how hard it is to install them.

• I switched from Manjaro to EndeavourOS and even installed Arch the Arch way at least once, to see what the fuss is all about. 🙂 And I must say, EndeavourOS is fantastic and closer to Arch than Manjaro is (and with less problems with the AUR). However I would only recommend it if one can work on the terminal as well, as the old slogan said it's a terminal focused distro.

  As for the versioning, I don't know if it makes sense to have versions on a rolling release. It's just a snapshot of the day. They don't hold features or updates until next "release" or so. But then, they also give names… which makes no sense to me.
