And to all the FOSS zealots going around saying use this or that favourite distro, STOP. They should be the focus, not you. Windows users need the most well community supported, LTS tier stable distro that everybody develops for as first or second preference. Ubuntu LTS with GNOME fits the bill best. This is how I selected my first distro 7 years ago when jumping from Windows 7 to Linux, and successfully mitigated my Windows usage. Now I am a Debian Stable user since last year, since I gained enough knowledge.

Victorinox SAK. The scissors, blade, opener layer and corkscrew (for knots) are bloody helpful. Easiest $30 BIFL lifetime investment you can make.

Also a thermal insulated water bottle. Keeps water cold in summers and hot in winters. Easiest $10-20 you can spend on your health.

These are mechanical things that require no electricity and always work reliably.

New Linux user, here is my use case. Distro recommendations?

Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

DO. NOT. HOP. AROUND. DISTROS.

Stick to Mint. Play with Ubuntu as live ISO or in a VM. Take a few years, and go to Debian.

Arch is a different universe than the Debian/Apt family, so take your time until you really feel like nerding out on Linux, or fall into this hobbyist rabbit hole.

Use the most common, user friendly distros, so that getting support and getting the job done is easy.

R-Studio, the single most powerful forensics and disk diagnostics and recovery software for all OSes.

No. What I am saying is different. The hyphen is the difference.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

The IDE is called RStudio, not R-Studio. IDE is for R, and there is nothing inherently unique to that IDE. R-Studio on the other hand is a tool with absolutely no competition for over a decade, and is thus worth as a paid tool for all OSes.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

When I used it on Windows, I pirated it. But there exists no way to pirate it on Linux, and when I have enough funds, I will ensure to buy something as useful and irreplaceable as R-Studio, since I get the liberty to use it on any OS.

Also only the Network Technician license costs $800. Regular single user lifetime license costs around $70 and works offline.

  • Misophonia (slurping, chewing, degenerate behaviour)
  • Lack of hygiene (eating with unwashed hands, fingering your nose, scratching your butt, dropping things on floor and eating with same unwashed hands, 5 second rule is mental illness)
  • Overwhelming disregard for facts over feelings. Emotions are good but in a limited capacity, and cannot overtake logic in general.
  • Brand fever, capitalism culture worshipping.
  • Disrespect for your mind, body and soul. If you are fat or unhealthy, do not exercise, are constantly on social media drip feed rotting your brain, you do not exist.
  • Emotional copers. Just get shit done.
  • Solve your traumas before coming. I am not a part time therapist doing freelancing for you.
  • No drugs, no smoking history. Minor to no alcohol.
  • No past adultery, and a disgust for infidelity.

Pretty much. I need no factors that will result in potential neuro disorders or other problems carrying into my spouse or offspring in the future. Observing a family member’s death from alcohol, and another with Alzheimer’s from a history of alcohol and smoking, has made me consider these things strictly.

ytdl: Simple wrapper to yt-dlp with only a subset of options. (github.com)

ytdl is a small script for Linux as an alternative interface to yt-dlp (which itself is a fork from youtube-dl, to download YouTube videos). My goal is to make some of its functionality a bit more accessible for the daily usage. This includes predefined settings and narrowing it down to options I care most about.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

All I do is

For 360p, yt-dlp -f 134+250 URL

For 720p, yt-dlp -f 136+250 URL

If I want the maximum audio quality that YouTube never makes available, change 250 to 251.

This gives me AV1 encoded video stream with OPUS 64kbps audio (or 128kbps for code 251). Anything beyond 720p encoded by Google is usually a waste, unless there is some specific reason you need 1080 or 2K marginally better resolution increase. The VMAF cutoff for YouTube encoded videos is optimal around 720p AV1.

If I need to ensure whatever I am downloading works on some TV via a USB pendrive, instead of AV1, I will select the VP9 video stream (243 or 247 codes). Verifying quickly via yt-dlp -F URL helps.

Lenin and Castro are actual heroes, though. Your propagandistic take is just NATO support. For West, Hitler, Netanyahu, Biden, Stepan Bandera are heroes today.

Our per capita income is not exactly healthy, and the wealth distribution is highly unequal. Linux is majorly used in South India, and among the techies that are older fhan Gen Z/Alpha, as millenials and older people grew up on computers instead of smartphones.

Pakistan has been funded by USA for decades to house US funded terrorists and to commit terrorism and keep Asia unstable. They have also given shelter to other terrorist groups in the region. Pakistan has never had a complete term under any Prime Minister since 1947. Pakistan and India are worlds apart on every single socio-economic and political parameter.

I should have just said false equivalence. Your arguments till now have been too weak to prove anything you are claiming. Don’t hop around like Alex Jones. Just stop.

Indians in such big numbers are not privacy conscious. There are not so many Indians tech focused to the point they actively learn Linux. It is about lack of money for individuals and in some cases trying to get maximum performance on potato machines, again a consequence of lack of money.

First of all, Lunduke… has very funny opinions on things, as his politics massively shifted in the past 4-5 years, as someone who used to follow his rants before he became a rightwinger. His interview at Chris Titus channel was also a bit unhinged, and Titus protected him by hushing him a fair bit.

Secondly, unique IDs are only a thing when you download the Firefox online installer stub from their website. If you download the offline installer from their website or from any decent Windows software site (Majorgeeks, Filehorse et al), this is not a problem. Also, this is not at all a problem on Linux, since the software installation method is fully centralised.

What I will criticise is CEOs have been leeches at Mozilla. Emily Baker has been an absolute leech, and there is no denying about it. The new CEO is also a leech. But that has not affected Firefox. It may, however, affect Firefox as the developer money is snatched by CEOs. What has affected Firefox is how the world has shaped up, and people are okay with having less privacy because western elites have helped create that ecosystem for masses to cuck themselves. I am not going to honk trumpets for their inclusive politics like a liberal, but it has allowed to distance them from clowns like Brendan Eich, which has been fairly helpful.

Also your point about UGC using uBO is nonsense. Manifest V3 simply disallows the full capabilities of uBO on Chromium browsers due to its hard cap on memory limits. Raymond Hill has a lot of words to say about it. uBO Lite is about as good as uBO easy mode but even lighter, and you cannot block selective domains or scripts at all. Not to mention, uBO on Firefox allows importing extra filter text files, which is not an option on Chromium browsers.

Firefox has customisable user.js and userchrome.css, so the former allows implementing Arkenfox’s configuration and such things.

I’m NOT sorry for the trouble and mental break down I may have caused by the sudden realization that Firefox is as good and private after all, if you can put in a little work. You may cry, whine and bang your head about it. Your disinformation cope attempt has failed.

Lunduke has a problem with Mozilla’s “politics” as a white Christian rightwinger, as do people like Luke Smith, for reasons that should not need much explanation. He fell into that rabbit hole few years ago, and wishes to remain there.

Because the world is not utopia, and individualism combined with a unipolar hegemon (UK before, USA now) made the division of society a feature and not a problem. Also, capitalism forces us to fake productivity and not have free time for ourselves to indulge in useless things like… learning more languages and cultures to become harmonious with more people. Wars and genocides are useful, you know… to fill the pockets of some white swines.

While colonialism created conditions that made it favourable to benefit from the coloniser’s language, the capitalist structure ensured a proxy form of colonialism never seen before in human history, where all forms of media and pop culture were hijacked. It is unique, and it is a perspective that only I have held and seen nobody talk about it, but Britain has utilised cricket as a tool of colonialism on Hindustan (post partition, India and Pakistan). It is part of reason why even after independence we continued to be silent, unlike China, who faced half as worse the fate as India, bounced back through Mao’s revolution.

Now, back to this proxy colonialism that never left most countries even after Britain left them, post WW2 the baton seemed to have been passed onto USA. The iron grip of capitalism and a unique cocktail (western pop culture infused with the invention of modern advertisement by Edward Bernays that abused psychoanalysis theories) and the vacuum of money and opportunities created by western imperialism ensured no matter how hard colonised countries were crippled, they would have only few choices left - starve and shrivel (DPRK post 1980s USA bombing), become proxy subservient to west (IMF/WEF initiative) or become subservient to west in the form of brain drain and human resource drain. This is purely my theory and how I think about things without ever having read a word of socialist literature.

The adoption of their language was just one step among many steps they probably worked long ago, or worked as time went on. I do think it was thought of long ago, similar to what Zionist Project is.

I am not sure, I may be just rambling here, but whatever I guess.

I did not remove it, and I do not think your xenophobic pity is required here about OSes made outside of USA.

Jerboa devs take note

Jerboa allows me to moderate the giant Lemmy communities, and has been quite reliable, so it is what I am sticking to. The lack of autosave drafts upon going back or every 20-30 seconds is a major issue I certainly do not like.

Minor bugs like the comment nav strip collapsing some comments instead of navigating is annoying.

Also, since phones are big nowadays, I would seriously like if there is an option for a translucent up/down comment navigation squares on the left or right side middle portion of screen, offset by probably 50 pixels. Many people will appreciate this and other apps might copy it too and improve things for everyone.

Also, tap to load images might be a handy feature for some people and those moments when data speeds are atrocious.

Also separate the vote count as numbers again.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes I agree, the separate up down vote count was better on Jerboa.

Love how people like you instantly come to NATO’s rescue, when Vietnam banning Steam should not ruffle the jimmies of westoids. Turns out, “government scrutiny” is bad when Vietnam wants to protect its native game developers, according to some people here. It is okay if Steam digests them.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

What exactly do you think did “government scrutiny” mean by the above poster, an idea you seem to defend? It is meant to refer to the communist Vietnam government as authoritarian, because they refuse to let USA’s Steam destroy the indie game dev scene. NATO has everything to do with every single prominent USA or Europe based service or platform, which includes Steam. Steam spies on DNS cache of users for some mysterious reason too.

What exactly do you think USA/NATO has not to do with Steam and colonising the game dev scenes around the world? It accomplishes western imperialist proxy colonisation.

The diseased western individualist leech mindset has invaded too many people for it to not exist in large groups (fediverse instances). Anglos act like one hivemind as far as some core ideas go, and they will push it at all costs. The white man’s burden is shouldered by men, women and minorities of Anglosphere alike. Fediverse overlaps with western diaspora, so it is easy to come across these specimens.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Yep, this is the mindset I was trying to describe. Thanks for making my point clear. I have seen you around too much with your anti-communist politics, so I can see through your arguments, like this one where you describe Vietnamese government in a particular manner just because they decided to protect their country’s game developers.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

When he said “government scrutiny”. He openly desires the laissez faire market nonsense to allow an opening for west to do what it always has. Vietnam has a far larger market outside of west in Asia, Africa, Russia and South Americas.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

If NATO countries benefit from laissez faire market crap, it kinda does. Vietnam must have thought quite well about the loss of western market, when protecting its game developers. Vietnam is not a country that hates globalisation, but it will take whatever necessary steps for protection.

Are you going to be a legal commercial distributor of these videos? No? Use x265.

Useful x265 settings:

  • CRF 21 Slow or 23 Very Fast, depending on the quality you need. (Do not choose presets other than slow, medium or very fast, all others are waste.)
  • Encoder level 4.0 or above, usually auto might take care but sometimes banding issues may remain if not set manually
  • Command line options - aq-mode=3:aq_strength=1.1
  • If video is 10-bit or 12-bit, do not go with x265 8bit video encoder. Use MediaInfo to check this for your videos. This also solves banding and chromatic aberration issues.

AV1 is about 10x slower to encode, and you will save roughly 2-3% more space than x265 which is a stupid tradeoff for time wastage.

Audio: never compress the audio stream of a video. Passthrough should be used.

Also, I find Windows much more reliable than Linux when using Handbrake for long batch video conversion queues. The cutree keeps fattening but conversion will not abruptly stop or crash in second passes.
