The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

Can you guys recommend me a video editor that works on linux? I used to use sony vegas but it is either incompatible with linux mint or I am too retarded to correctly install it

Kdenlive is pretty basic, but it works fine. For example if you want to add pretty subtitles to a music video, you can't just add a text box and apply a font and visual effects in kdenlive directly, you have to use an image editor such as Krita to generate each frame of text as a transparent image you can insert on the timeline.
 
After deciding that KDEnlive was too dependency-heavy for me on my current machine, I decided to try out shotcut. It is more than enough for my needs.

There are text sources you can make directly inside of KDEnlive, I'm not sure what you're talking about,
I do agree, that one source not being able to change it's contents during different points in time, is a bit annoying.
 
whats a good linux distro for an old 4gb amd ryzen 3 machine? I really want to throw some kind of arch setup on it but the internet in that location causes the downloads to regularly corrupt during installation. I threw elementary OS on it as a test and the thing runs really slow with a lot of apps freezing even with a 12GB swap file on the ssd.

Alright so omarchy has fully crapped out on my laptop I can now replace it
Need something touch screen friendly so GNOME or kde and probably not rolling cause I barely use this laptop
Devuan probably my best bet?

I haven't used KDE with Devuan but understand it works fine. Excalibur released end of last year so should have relatively up to date software- if you're missing anything you can always move to testing.

Linux Mint. Cinnamon has less overhead then KDE, and if you use the Mate version it is a little lighter then that.

Devuan is sysvinit-forward. If you recall our conversation earlier, you were quite insistent on sysvinit's inferiority to "modern" init systems like systemd, OpenRC, dinit, runit, etc. If you have no objections to GNOME Shell, Fedora Workstation is your next best bet. Unironic endorsement here because GNOME Shell is explicitly designed with touch forwardness in mind, to the detriment of traditional desktop computing paradigms. Fedora Workstation is arguably "the" flagship for GNOME Shell, it has a "modern" init system in systemd, and ships with no Rustware slop OOTB the way that Ubuntu does, and the acclimation to RPM Fusion is hardly an issue these days. Fedora 44 is right around the corner, probably releasing either at the tail end of this month or the very beginning of next month. It is Wayland-forward, but on a laptop, you won't run into my problems with Wayland shitting itself with multi-monitor displays. Fedora does have a fast release cadence (re: new releases every six months, each release being supported for roughly 13 months).

Linux Mint Xfce > MX Linux Xfce > Fedora Xfce > Linux Mint MATE > Fedora MATE+Compiz.

Xfce will save your life on such constrained hardware. If you have no problem with LTS distros, skip Fedora altogether and use Linux Mint or MX Linux. If you have an itch for modern software beyond an LTS cadence, Fedora Xfce and Fedora MATE+Compiz are worthwhile options to consider.

the larp is insane in this thread. flatpak is a good packaging format for most applications. You are literally retarded if you think traditional package management is better than modern solutions.

Yeah except Flatpaks fucking suck just as much with API/ABI compatibility because the runtime dependencies can go EOL too. So you just download an assload of redundant runtime libraries only to get told “oi m8 the GTK2 runtime don’t work no more.”

I found that out the hard way when I tried running a native version of Witcher 2 through Steam flatpak and oh wow, GTK2 went EOL last year. The one saving grace turns out to be a colossal aggravating factor when your runtime goes kaput. Sandboxing overhead is fucking useless if I can’t guarantee the same Flatpak binary will run in perpetuity regardless of my system.

Stop being a threadshitting nigger and get lost.
