we knew the truth after that last linux mint release

https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/8/manjaro-26-1-bian-may-released-via-stable-update-with-linux-kernel-7-1-and-kde-plasma-6-7/

Linux bros... all the devs are kpoppers for sure

Glad everything worked out of the box with Cachy. Not sure what I wrote while setting up my account but my password was wrong and had to look up how to fix that :jiyu_kek:

Really digging how clean and fast Brave Origin feels. Shame that out of the box, Firefox feels like Windows, the defaults are awful.

AI told me that playing DSD files would be straightforward but it wasn't the case. Can play them with mpv but the output is not DSD, and can't open them with Quod Libet and Elisa.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH using CachyOS right now, feels good

it has funny names for different %s

>>354280 #
My os has a good display manager to control scales and sizes and stuff

>i should've gotten at least something at 1440p@120hz,
yeah exactly the same after getting it, even more back then, it's not so bad nowadays but I never quite liked the 150% scale

>>354273 #
yeah. i'm not even mad at the hdr, mostly i should've gotten at least something at 1440p@120hz, for a monitor this big.
it was quite expensive at the time too.

>>354268 #
I remember doing plenty of research but since I couldn't know about the HDR standards, I didn't search about that

>>354265 #
>my monitor has a crappy HDR implementation, it's the cheapest LG 4K
HAHAHA mine is also an LG. I guess we shouldn't expect anything else from the company that literally ships malware inside their monitors now. but mine is just 1080p@75hz, but it is an ultrawide, and quite big at 34". i bought it 5 years ago or something, looking back i wish i had done more research.

>>354255 #
Nah my monitor has a crappy HDR implementation, it's the cheapest LG 4K monitor on Amazon. I actually don't have Windows 11 like most since I have used a couple of tools to make it better, most normies just live with the pain of their system breaking with the updates lol

i think your choice of DE will probably impact your experience more than your choice of distro
Honestly, Cachy with KDE is probably as good as an on-boarding experience can get, since you're not an absolute linux beginner (in which case it would be Mint ,which is why i linked it in this thread when i made the op)

Does your monitor have true hdr, or just enough 10bit support to advertise it but isn't actual hdr really? because mine is the latter and i always run into issues when trying to use hdr in kde, because it expects a fully hdr capable monitor, which includes the monitor comunicating hdr data back, which mine doesn't do.
I now use hyprland, and have hand written my hdr config so that it basically uses widegamut for sdr, instead of going full hdr.

To me there are two approaches when switching to linux, you either want something as similar as possible to your old experience, or you want something completely new to dive into. To me the former is a bad approach because it conditions you into expecting everything to be similar, which won't be the case, and it will eventually leave you frustrated. If you want something more like the letter, you can set up cachy/arch with hyprland and DMS, or, if you want something ready out of the box, Omarchy, which is what i have been using for almost an year now

I think I'm installing CachyOS but I will be testing it out. Seems that I will like it since I'm used to Arch but if something goes wrong, I will try something from Fedora

>>354080 #
oh right I understand. I know enough python to be able to do something like that but in this case there's very little that would actually change. I'd basically just drop the file in yt-dlp's extractor folder and change some imports. dunno if that would be ok or not.
>>354169 #
godspeed anon. linux has pretty good hdr support now that wayland is the default server in most places. what's your distro/de of choice this time round?

Brothers I will be installing Linux tomorrow, if Torvals wills it

I switched to Windows a few years ago because I got an HDR monitor and there was no support for it, and a few more annoyances, seems it's about time to go back. I was running Linux for like a decade before that, tried lots of distros, I always had a good experience with all of them, shame about projects like Manjaro or Garuda, they started to break because of some external issues

>>353847 #
are you blocked already?
what i mean is, since you got ai to make it possible just parse and hand wrtite it so you can submit
that is, if you are a dev, and can do it by hand now knowing how it works
if you aren't a dev, then congrats on making this on vibes alone

>>353793 #
I'm not allowed to :/

>>353127 #
you should consider working this into an actual pr for ytdlp

>>353127 #
holy! I was just thinking yesterday about this, watching Kiiikiii's stream in my browser like a pleb

made some berriz extractors

yt-dlp plugin for lives/replays. also lets you stream in mpv. requires cookies.
https://files.catbox.moe/7e44bb.py

gallery-dl module for posts/boards/artist feeds. no cookies needed.

They bring the browser's name into their own politics

>I know the devs suck ass these days
how so?

Anyone using librewolf these days? How is the project going?
I know the devs suck ass these days

the true true linux spirit is fixing the issue yourself and gatekeeping the fix instead of shipping it upstream

>>344339 #
>if they cant thats alright
now that's the true Linux spirit

>>344304 #
yeah its just a minor annoyance but im not a fan of living with minor annoyances if they can be fixed
if they cant thats alright

>>344319 #
Helium I think, Floorp was for 2025, surely Ladybird for 2027

>>344319 #
firefox is still king

fellow tech people
i just installed a new system
which browser is the rage these days?

>>344315 #
ah, a full board for that

wasn't there a meta thread to talk about the site and bugs and stuff? I can't find it

or is it here?

>>343730 #
no
mokamin could probably check to reduce this delay tho
but its not a critical issue is just the theme loading and the background taking a extra moment to be fechted from the server

im using the caffe theme with some custom colors but the coffee in the background distracts me so i replaced it with a static brown background
when the page loads it flashes the original background for a moment, is there a way to make the custom background load before the theme background?

my distro added native yt-dlp commands

god i love ffmpeg

>>338995 #
*this is from a series of photos, that's why so choppy and low framerate

>Native Animated WebP Support: Adds a native animated WebP decoder and demuxer, enabling direct reading/processing of animated WebP content without requiring external libwebp dependencies.

hell yeah I can finally convert the animated webps from youtube, clip related

i hope you know there's a linux terminal (termux) for android

talking about encoding, ffmpeg 9.0.0 just came out, although number go up doesn't mean that much for that project

why didn't you guys tell me there is VLC for android?

i still use vp9 over av1 and hevc because some people are still living in the stone age and can't play those codecs

>>336834 #
no it doesn't but i found that software encoding with svt-av1 is still very fast. i dont use av1 anymore and i dont deal with making huge 8k clips so i only need to worry about a few extra seconds of encoding time when im encoding into vp9

>>334882 #
I dont think that one does av1 encoding

>>334879 #
Yeah. I have succeded once but im trying to make it again after losing the original file and so far nothing.
I was using some opencode models instead of claude tho. So that might be it
