I love the idea of that feature, but it is not at all reliable in my experience.

Last I heard was that the steam deck wasn't getting a version 2 update until there was next gen hardware to match it. Gaben isn't a big fan of regular sub five percent hardware refreshes that other companies are happy with.

Might be a name thing though. They did the OLED update, but it's not called the steam deck 2.

Your best bet is the nvidia sheild. Osmc does not do well with DRMed streaming services at all. I struggled to make youtube work on it.

If you want a live conversion and can't afford the >100$ it would cost to grab an ssd for a scratchdisk, you might also look into using vlc to grab the video stream from source camera, and encode it out to somewhere else, such as a webserver.

You might also need a script to make sure it's always up.

Alternatively, there's a good chance that zoneminder will be able to do what you want with just a little tinkering. https://zoneminder.com/

DaGeek247 , 1 month ago to linux in 1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts.

So you're saying that using a desktop shortcut makes an app inherently less buggy? wtf

Obviously not. Now i'm wondering if you're fucking with me. Running a program through the console lets you see the debug log it spits out when it fails to run.

So in your mind I'm going to google a list of 10 random weird issues?

No, but I was hoping you'd put in a little more effort before jumping straight to conclusions.

That was a choice, an easily fixed one, and everyone's definition of "basic apps" will vary a bit so this was a stretch to list as a "problem".

Can't say i disagree, but i'm not in the habit of invalidating other people's gripes because i think theyre kinda petty either.

Well firstly, I tend to have a lot more weird issues than others. Secondly, I've tried a few different distros on two different graphics cards. And thirdly, I've been dealing with hardware and software issues for 25 years so when someone comes in hot like that with a bunch of rare issues/non-issues/issues I've never heard of, I tend to think that at best they are exaggerating because they are mad about something. And no, I don't assume everyone has the same experience.

I've got less experience than that, having started 15 years ago instead of 25. Clearly that makes your opinion inherently better than mine. /s

This list of problems was a direct answer to someone asking for a list of problems. Sometimes, people just need to vent about their favorite thing. No need to get onto them for it.

Launching a program from cli is a basic first troubleshooting step, davinci resolve being such a big program means a bug will happen at some point.

Fat being a bitch to deal with is old news.

Flatpack password prompt problem was easily verified with google. So was popos missing a paint application by default. Same with rocky 9 kernal paremeters being changed in grub.

Ignoring the part of this where the context makes no sense for a satire post, why would you assume your experience, being a positive one, would be the same as everyone else?

DaGeek247 , 1 month ago to linux in 1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts.

I don't see why it would be. These problems seem pretty ordinary to me.

Gpu encoding is terrible for anything that isnt fast encoding speeds. Best to use the cpu since this isnt for a live environment.
