  • This was (and still is) my first distro, made the switch about 3 months ago. I read about the low latency kernel being good for recording but I’m not sure it’s necessary. I went with LTS for stability and regularly use Reaper, Bitwig, Blender, Krita, and as of today after getting it working finally, DaVinci Resolve.

    It works for me with a Behringer UV1 preamp and a Scarlett 4i4, but it did take a lot of work to get the audio working right. At first I could only use ALSA, which only allows one program to use audio at a time. If I remember right I have to install Pipewire and Wireplumber and was then able to use JACK.

    My GPU is Nvidia and there’s been some hiccups but it generally works well.

    One interesting issue that happened today though was after rolling back Wine to 9.21 and reinstalling yabridge. I tested with launching a Windows app and it screwed up Plasma, seemed to delete it. I had to log into xorg and reinstall KDE. I can now log in with X11 but for some mystery Wayland is just gone. Bonus was that X11 has fixed my DaVinci issues haha so that’s something I guess.




  • Yeah, I have CUDA. I had it working at one point with the Nvidia 550 driver on Studio, but 570 and 580 results in no video. 550 had a few plasma issues (plasma freezing) which is why I didn’t want to use it. I tried rolling back but 550 is no longer an option in software sources on Ubuntu Studio (I keep seeing warnings from people about installing drivers outside of driver management), and it seems like endeavorOS doesn’t use driver management like Studio does so it has me on 580.

    Resolve keeps saying GPU memory is full. Best I can tell it’s a driver specific issue as it did work on 550. I’ve been using Blender instead but would love to get the Resolve issue sorted without having to roll back to 550 and have plasma freeze every hour. I’m hesitant about installing 550 from terminal on endeavorOS as endeavor seems to do things different and I’m new to Linux overall.


  • Just installed endeavorOS from Ubuntu Studio (new Linux user as of about 3 months ago). Do you know if there’s a way to add the packages after install? I thought I selected the nvidia install, but it was using integrated graphics so maybe not, so I did some manual installs with nvidia-inst like --prime. It seems to be using driver 580 now instead of nouveau.

    I was hoping another distro might fix an issue in Studio with DaVinci Resolve not showing video, but the same issue persists in endeavourOS (keeps saying gpu is low on memory). Running from terminal DRI_PRIME=1 to set it on performance mode doesn’t help so I’m wondering if it’s a full on Resolve issue. I’d rather not reinstall endeavourOS and lose everything I’ve done if it’s possible the OS can do some nvidia magic after install.


  • It blew my mind when he announced it. Brand recognition is one of the most important things companies hope for, and Twitter was in it’s own, very select brand recognition club at the top. Tweeting became part of everyday vernacular, in the same way that googling something became synonomous with searching online. It’s a company’s wet dream. No one says “gramming”, “threading”, “facebooking”, etc. Maybe Snapchat has snapping, I’m out of the loop but even I’ve used tweeting/ed in every day conversations.

    That recognition is the stupidest thing to just throw away, especially to replace it with something that can’t replace it from a language perspective. Xing makes no sense in context.


  • Honestly I’m new to Linux from about 3 months ago, so it’s been a bit of a learning curve on top to learning VE haha. I didn’t realize CUDA had versions let alone was anything other than an acronym for using GPU (Nvidia for me) and I now figure CUDA is probably why Davinci Resolve isn’t working right. Kdenlive’s search for GPU over CPU had CUDA versions listed (mines 12.0, it was searching for 12.3,4,5 etc) which made me realize CUDA and Nvidia drivers differ.

    So long story short, no I haven’t checked that beyond looking for how to update CUDA haha. I really appreciate you taking the time, I’ll look into implementing python next. One thing I love about Linux, I’m constantly learning.




  • I’d love to pay someone, or I’d just transcribe it myself if it wouldn’t take so long. I’m new to VE so learning as I go, I do audio and the editing process seems fairly transferable, it’s the barragement of movement and transitions in these that I’m struggling to not spend a week working on it. I’m doing this as a favour so outsourcing isn’t an option. I’ll be checking over the subtitles anyway, generating just saves a bunch of time before a full pass over it.

    I’d rather not have hardcoded subs at all, but these are the “no attention span” style videos for YT (constant zooms, transitions, big subtitles, etc) that I have to mimic. Honestly I hate the style haha, but it is what it is. The style “gets traction” on social media.

    I’m quickly realizing why these videos use AI, it’s a tonne of work without it for very little pay. I was just hoping to use as little of it as possible and trying to avoid going with Descript.

    Anyway, appreciate you taking the time, I got some sub generation working with Kdenlive but it’s looking like I either have to bite the bullet with Descript or just transcribe it myself. The editing for the subs generation looks to be as much work as just transcribing a handful of frames at a time.







  • I’ve never heard of infrared glasses, this is probably the most interesting/useful thing on this list for me. Too bad Reflectacles is an American company though. Anyone have any experience with them? I’m willing to give money to US companies under certain circumstances if they do good things, like Signal. If Reflectacles does good work, I’m not opposed to placing an order.
