Image Max URL (Web - GitHub - Firefox addon) was able to get a 3840x2160 version.

I was going to suggest yt-dlp, but this seems to be for android… right? In that case, I don’t know if yt-dlp works there.

Anyway, for those on PCs, you can use yt-dlp "PLAYLIST_URL".

Some useful options:

• --download-archive videos.txt: this will keep track of downloaded files in case you want to interrupt an continue later. You can change the filename videos.txt to whatever you want.
• -R infinite --file-access-retries infinite --fragment-retries infinite --retry-sleep http:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep fragment:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep file_access:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep extractor:exp=1:20: infinite retries for different error types, for those with unreliable connections.
• -o "%%(playlist_index)s - %%(title)s.%%(id)s.%%(ext)s": output file format
• --cookies cookies.txt: if it’s a private list, you will need to provide your (yt-logged-in-)browser cookies. See cookies.txt add-on.

I prefer Tranquility Reader add-on (no need for a 3rd party service). Very similar to Firefox’ native Reader Mode, but more configurable and compatible with other addons (like translation).

Photoshop on WINE can be made to work, but it’s a terribly bad solution for many reasons.

May I ask the main reasons? This is probably the most important point regarding my migration to linux and I thought that Wine would be a proper solution for Photoshop.

Thanks!

LightDM says it’s a Display Manager.

I know that naming is hard but, oh my…, terms are so confusing when you’re starting:

• Desktop Environment
• Windows Manager
• Desktop Manager
• Display Manager
• Tiling Window Manager
• Compositing Window Manager

… I’m still not sure which ones are synonyms, sub categories or independent components :/.

I’m an ultra-noob, so those who know more please correct me.

I’m playing with Linux VMs and recently I installed Debian to check it out. When it asked what DE I wanted, I chose all of them :).

The only hard conflict (AFAIK) is the [compontent / feature responsible for loging in] (I don’t know the technical term). Because each DE comes with a different one, you need to choose one.

What I found very confusing in practice is that I could see some DE apps and configuration settings from other DEs. So, unless you know what belongs to what, it’s a bit of a mess (in my VERY limited experience).

Oooh… I see. I didn’t understand how broad the Desktop Env really are. Is not that they manage “a lot of things regarding the desktop and windows”… is just like a bundle of apps.

Now it’s starting to sound like a sub-distro inside the distros, but I think this is a good point to stop bothering you. Thanks again!

So, just to check I understood:

• “[Tiling] Window Managers” are a very specific tool.
• “Desktop Environments” are broader tools that (may?) contain Window Managers.

Now… the next questions (if you have the patience :P) are:

• is is possible to use a Window Manager without a Desktop Environment?
• how does this influence your choose for the terminal emulator? Ó_ò

Thanks for the answers!

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around basic linux concepts: you use “tiling window manager” and “desktop environment” as if they were mutually exclusive options. What’s the relationship between them?

Thanks!

Oh, sorry, I didn’t link the 2 parts of your comment.

Yeah, RaspberryPi-alike stuff if also something I want to look into in the future. But it is probably best to take it one step at a time.

Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Do you know if there is any reason to prefer Virtualbox over Hyper-V?

Thanks for the answer!

May I ask you how do you balance resources (mainly RAM) between Windows and Linux?

Depending on your specs, you may want to go lighter (…)

Good point regarding balancing hardware resources.

Windows VM on linux is painfully slow and doesn’t have a license, so it’s much less good than linux VM on Windows IMO.

Good to know.

Thanks!

Interesting suggestion, I’ll think about it.

The only program that I’m aware I need Windows for is Photoshop (I don’t know if Wine is an option or if that counts as "Windows).

So you’re probably right. The main reason I prefer to start with VMs is to try a few distributions before committing to one of them… and the laziness I get thinking about how to migrate my current Windows installation to a VM… or (even worse) reinstalling Windows from scratch :P.

Thanks!
