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.

Funnily enough I just had a big plasma issue on Studio and had to get back up and running with x11, Wayland is just gone. Video issues aren’t present in x11 haha

Interesting, thank you. This happens with the timeline without effects but I’ll look into it.

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.

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.

Honestly it’s looking that way. I just needed to try everything else first for my own principles. Appreciate the kindness

I was hoping to avoid going full AI. Unfortunately these are the YT type videos that AI is completely taking over so unless I want to spend a week on this I think I’ll have to. Was just trying to exhaust every avenue before going that route.

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.

Finally got that working, had to run with the appimage instead of flatpack for it to work. Now I just gotta see if I can mimc the font haha. Thanks

Interesting. I’m struggling to get transcription add-ons to work in Blender. I’ve never installed python script stuff so I don’t know if I screwed something up. Every time I try transcription it either just stops around 95% or crashes with

Unable to load any of {libcudnn_ops.so.9.1.0, libcudnn_ops.so.9.1, libcudnn_ops.so.9, libcudnn_ops.so}

Do you have a suggestion of where I can get started learning about what you’re talking about?

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.

Haha same thing for me. -R was a game changer

i came here to say this. I was really frustrated for a while figuring this out and understanding how it really makes things more secure, even if you’re the only one using the computer. At first it drove me nuts when my server would auto create a folder for media and I’d attempt to change some files within and not have permission, like, my account should have access to everything.

Changing access permissions without understanding how/why completely borked my first install by setting a user without sudo privileges as primary (or something, I still don’t know what I did haha) but I couldn’t sudo anything and was locked on that profile.

I started by just using Nautilus but this is not good practice so I learned the basics and it finally started making sense.

Oh ok, I didn’t know that. I thought it was just Ubuntu with pre installed programs and a low latency kernel. I’ve been enjoying the learning curve, even though it’s been frustrating at times I’ve learned so much in the last 2 months and love it haha

Damn, I’m 2 months into my first Linux experience and went with Ubuntu Studio since I use my PC for freelance audio/music/art and it’s promoted as great for creatives. It took a lot of work to get my audio working without ALSA and more work to get smaller things working right. I’m concerned if I switch distros I’ll have to do it all again and I barely remember what I did to fix things haha. Think I’m stuck with Ubuntu. Didn’t realize it was so looked down on.

What data breach could there possibly be? Phone numbers are already public information and that’s literally the only info Signal has. Oh no! My phone number that’s publicly available already has been released in a “breach”!

It’s already been mentioned numerous times but you’re confusing privacy and anonymity.

Per Cambridge Dictionary:

Privacy: someone’s right to keep their personal matters and relationships secret

Anonymity: the situation in which someone’s name is not given or known:

Using Signal, even after giving them your phone number, fits the definition of privacy in that matters discussed through the app are secret to anyone outside of the sender and recipient. Even if Signal is told to hand over messages, they can’t, there’s nothing to access on their end. Private? Yes. Anonymous? No.

Awesome, thanks. Just tested so I could get an idea. I’ll run it again when the next freeze occurs. Thanks

I have not, didn’t know that was an option haha. I’ll look into how to use it. I’m guessing it’s a log of some kind?

I’m new to Linux and have the same card. Running Ubuntu Studio the new 580 driver freezes my application menu. What driver are you using? I tried 570 and it worked for everything except it wouldn’t show video on Davinci Resolve so no go for me. I went back to 550 which works for everything except my taskbar freezes multiple times per day and I have to restart plasma each time.
