  • PSA for those using DaVinci Resolve with AMD GPUs, don't install ROCM 7.2, stay on 7.1.1

  • I am curious if it's a Davinci issue or a AMD one. Would love to hear the results.

  • What desktop operating system would you recommend to the average user?

    Jump

  • I fell with the right desktop environment like Plasma and a locked down OS that can be used without a password, Linux can be for all. Especially when it comes to using it as a web machine. If they don’t need apps, it’s fine.

    Mac’s are my go to if you need commercial software. And the one pain point for Linux as a OS.

    Though Valve is bridging the gap

  • MacOS.

    I hate Apple, and I do not like how they operate. But I cannot deny how user friendly their OS is, how affordable their machines are (Mac mini) and how even those who do not know how to use a PC, can pick them up and use them.

    Linux Mint is my second choice

    Only Linux which feels like a normal PC, and 99% of features can be installed via UI. There are holes, and I feel an immutable OS would fill this niche better, but for now this is my number 2.

  • What's everyone's favorite bug?

    Jump

  • It’s more of a personal one.

    I made my first touch game in Unity. I tested all the system and everything worked after weeks of testing and I wasn’t able to find more bugs.

    I gave my phone to my wife and asked her to try it. Immediately she was able to get the character to warp across the screen. I didn’t code this and based on my code this was impossible to happen.

    After more testing I discovered that it wasn’t my code which was bugged but Unity’s. Since she was touching the screen in a way that it didn’t register that her finger was removed from the screen.

    Ever since all my games touch inputs have manual timers to ensure that a touch is actually registered. And I give her my games to test since she usually breaks it in weird and wonderful ways.

  • I don’t think there is much you can do to fix freecad. That said, it’s my go to cad software and the improvements while small are nice to have.

  • I’ve used a fair share of video editors over the years. Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve and KDENlive.

    Even in Linux Resolve is the better editor and works with my workflow. However the hardware requirements is large, and the use of ffmpeg to convert mp4 aac to a useable format is annoying on Linux, but nothing a batch script can’t help with.

    KDENlive feel like an in between step of Windows Movie maker, and. Vegas. It has the functionality of a more advanced video editors, but its UI makes it feel as restrictive as Movie Maker.

    There is a strong app here, it just needs polish like Audacity is getting. Hoping it gets better, since actual competition in Linux is a win for everyone.

  • Zorin OS 18 Hits 2 Million Downloads as Windows Users Drive Growth

  • Might report as Ubuntu

  • Linux Mint 22.3 "Zena" Now Available for Download, This Is What’s New

    Jump

  • I just updated. It's not a substantial update and good news is that nothing broke (: . But the updated start menu in Cinnamon 6.6 is a welcomed addition. I honestly miss Windows XP/7's start menu and this is close enough that I don't feel like changing it.

    EDIT: I take that back, printers don't work. Neither my HP nor my Brother Network Printer are being detected.

  • When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one?

    Jump

  • Depends whom I’m talking to.

    If by holdings onto your existing device your are inconveniencing others then replace it.

    If by holding onto your existing device it is inconveniencing you, replace it.

    Otherwise keep it. OS version and software support is arbitrary these days. Some times it matters, other times not so much

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

  • The only area KOreader fails in is the lack of widgets. Coolest (or not depending on how you see it) is the Chinese ereaders use it as their devices reading engine and make their own launcher to throw you into KOreader.

  • Not sure, but sketchbook comes from Autodesk and they are notorious for changing the rules and terms and conditions.

    Just personal beef, but I refuse to touch their software after the shenanigans they pulled with Fusion.

  • It’s FOSS software but I use it so much I donate to support it. FreeCAD. Yeah its interface isn’t the best. But compared to Fusion for my workflow it’s so much bettwr
