  • I edited several videos for work precisely 2-5 years ago and it was really good. That surprised me in the good sense because last time I tried it before that was like in 2010 and was rather funky, but so was my crappy laptop. And there’s been a while since that and since KDE brought it to attention and the fundraising and you name it and it seems it has improven even more. Maybe with time it can be another famous representative from KDE targeted towards content creation as now it is Krita.


    That being said, I just can’t take any “review” from a “normie” about FOSS stuff seriously because most of the time they come from a propietary software mindset.

    Take for example reviews about Inkscape or GIMP and you’ll find most of them mentioning “they’re not as usable as Photoshop/Illustrator”. So people expect any alternative to work exactly as their non-foss counterpart, which is absolutely ridiculous.





  • Well I wasn’t thinking about memory (and maybe that’s the reason some people downvoted that comment…) but because in my experience NetworkManager takes time starting at boot and with months/years it was taking more and more time. I reset it once and kept doing the same thing.

    As you said you’re planning on a home server kind of thing I’d think setting up a static ip is a good idea and NetworkManager is just an overkill for that - you could very well go along with Gentoo’s netifrc.





  • I know at some point in history there was talk about going to C++ but Linus brushed it off because he didn’t liked it. This time he thinks otherwise.

    So trying to get Linux into another language is no new talk.

    And Zig is becoming a thing. I do not know if it will be ever suitable for such task, but it seems like moving on from C or complementing C’s kernel development with Rust, Zig or whatever comes with the future is just a matter of time.

    It will not happen overnight as a fork will not happen overnight so the only way forward seems to be patience.







  • I’m seeing a “Gestures” section in Lawnchair which has the following:

    • Double tap
    • Swipe up
    • Swipe down
    • Home button
    • Back button

    Each one of them has the following options:

    • Do nothing
    • Rest mode
    • Open notifications panel
    • Open app drawer
    • Open app finder
    • Open search
    • Open app (this one seems to be the one you are asking for)

    Not sure if this are the exact names they show up in english, though
