I have bazzite, it also includes graphics drivers ready to go which is nice. If you’re going to use steam for gaming i find it great. But this distro is not needed for gaming, one can install and game on any of the popular distros. You’re friend needs to try a few and see what feel best for them.

Sorry to hear. I think there are some firmware downgrades around to flash to some of the pc drives to get ripping working, unless this is specific to this particular movie.

You might have a bad disk, do an exchange. I have had many bad uhd disks from new boxes over the years. I wish optical storage wasnt used for this kind of thing.

I wonder how much is just due to the default phone launcher and keyboard.

Wow really? I have tried to use Turbo tax and QuickBooks a few times with wine and no success. Maybe time for a revisit.

Yeah, i have an example of this. I spent since time today building a local copy of handbrake have it run in a distrobox of arch to get AMD hardware acceleration as an option. The flatpak version refused to do this. It wasn’t too bad, but still wild i did this.

Maybe Tiny 11 was the answer?

I’m just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.

Same, I’m not gaming, but this distro for me that I find just working. I used Aurora for a bit before making the switch.

Yep, maybe wispersync integration will happen soon and help out. A time killer yep. I jave tried downloading subtitles from the internet, but hit or miss on getting it to sync.

you’ll also want mkvnix tool as well to edit the mkvs. you are going down the hole.

are you using subtitle edit to generate the subtitle (srt) files? that’s what i use, it’s not horrible… but work.

$500 option

One vote for Debian.

I didn’t read the article, but how does one know if they have the infection?

My router is updated.

Isn’t that what happened to the schools during COVID or something with one of the programs. I forget…

Giving me something to do with my current kindle. I wasn’t sure how to load to it my downloaded books, so I’ve been suffering on my phone, but hopefully this helps me out a bunch. Thanks. This is a rabbit hole I never knew existed.

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.

You can test this issue with laptop sending large files to your NAS over Wi-Fi. Local device communication is crazy slow on my network over the eeros. I discovered this when I moved a TV that was on a wired connection to wireless and everything feel apart from there.

I’m using eero as my wifi and for whatever reason, the eero wifi only give me max 10 Mbps, while a wired connection is over 100 Mbps. Also, my tplink WAP gives me 50Mbps.

However, if I do a speed test to an outside server, it’ll report over 300 Mbps… Something is messed up with local stream for me with my eeros. I’ll likely be removing them soon.

However, in the short term I re-encoded a bunch of my 4k rips down to 1080 and this resolved all my bandwidth issues.
