Re: Oh no !

Bugger all.

Re: "narrowly definied set of users'

WTF are you smoking?

Linux does install flawlessly and is up and running in minutes. Stop with the FUD already.

Re: I still use HDDs.

Absolutely. Back up, back up and back up again. In way too many years of computing, I've never had a hard drive fail.

Monitors, on the other hand....

Re: Bill Gates, too?

You clearly know precisely fuck all about computing history.

Re: Amazing, the article actually mentioned GNU

I wish. He is so annoying and full of it.

Yeah I get all that Liam Weaning yourself off Windows apps is a whole thing in itself. I haven't touched it in over a decade now and it's been bliss.

Re: intent

I had the exact same experience with GPT. Stuck in an endless feedback loop where it just kept providing "solutions" that sort of worked but not, to ones that totally failed. The irony was that what I wanted it to do could have been done with 2 keystrokes. Rubbish.

Some people are just small minded idiots.

Stop already. You are just posting continuous bullshit.

Got any actual evidence for all your trolling?

I thought not.

Re: When will there be..

If only....or the ability to ignore someone.

Re: CSuite are doing the right thing

You really are an annoying little troll.

Re: No ads = no profit

No shit. Same thing here Bla bla bla. One of the main reasons I quit his shitty antisocial media garbage years ago was the fact that I had to scroll through literally 10 fucking gambling ads to get to my feed.

Just go and get fucked.

Re: great option for experienced users too

As you stated, it certainly is not just an OS for beginners.

Nearly 11 years of happily using it here.

Windows? I've heard of it.

Re: Gaming is the Key

"DaVinci Resolve is one I hear mentioned a lot, they had a Linux version but there are issues with the licensed formats, encoders etc. and the Windows version will not emulate yet."

They still have the Linux version.

I'm running the free version of Resolve on Linux Mint and it works very well indeed. Compared to the paid for version, it is missing quite a few effects, most of which are just fluffy stuff like fancy wipes and the like. It has all the tools you actually need, including all the editing tools and the amazing colour grading stuff (might be missing a certain advanced function in there, can't remember). It also has Fusion for compositing and motion graphics, which is a beast of a module.

You have less output options than the paid version, but for me it's not a problem.

Not sure what you mean regarding those issues. I haven't encountered any.

Re: I keep wondering...

Pretty much, when all we had to complain about were static banner ads at the top of web pages and stupid animated gifs.

Re: Chicken

Can I have a kilo of what you're smoking?

What a load of absolute bullshit.

Re: I think he was too busy preventing other people stealing Microsoft innovation /s

Yeah, who the hell compiles their applications?

I've done it a couple of times just for the pure fun of it, to see how it all went. Otherwise, I get auto updates for apps I've installed via my distro's repository.

Re: Video editing software?

I run DaVinci Resolve on my Linux Mint box.

There is a guy - because of course there is - who has a script to convert the downloaded Linux version to a . deb file and then install it. At the end of the process you have a fully functional free version of Resolve on your Linux box.

Do a search for "make resolve deb".

It's just so....mind numbingly stupid, to think that people will agree to and comply with BS like that.

Re: It's not about the kids

You really do post utter garbage.

Re: @The Central Scrutinizer - Only now?

Yeah, I know. I was being somewhat lenient, I guess. Silly me.
