Experiment with arch, void (musl), Nixos and atomic distros like fedora silverblue, bazzite

I mostly use a download manager for parallel downloading a file. (downloading multiple parts of a single file at the same time).

[Resolved] After updating through both APT and the Software Store, I can't play mp4 videos with VLC anymore. The screen goes blank for a second or two then the audio starts playing without the video..

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:...

Maybe try a full update. Partial updates are problematic.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

According to Debian Wiki
VLC has limited support of va-api for hardware acceleration. Try fixes in the wiki. It might help.

You should change the title, as it is the continuation of the story. People will think its the same story being repeated.

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. ( f-droid.org )

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can't find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn't used to add live in your what's new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

The proxy is unstable. I just disable the piped proxy and it works perfectly.

Even before the HLS bug, libretube was finky, I think newpipe also doesn't use proxy so I'm fine with it.

Only with audio jack

You won't find it in the west. Its Infinix X6831

Rofi also has a wayland fork which I use rofi-lbonn-wayland. All of the previous rofi configs work fine with this.

Make a .desktop entry in .local/share/applications and any launcher will be able to launch it

Edit: You could also change their names to match your alias

Thanks, I will definitely try that

I think what you are looking for is a network share. You can browse files and download the ones you want

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I'm working on a some materials for a class wherein I'll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we're including a section we're calling "foot guns". Basically it's ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

For this very reason, I have aliased rm -rf with trash-cli

Could be varoius reasons. Some common ones:

  • distros can have different kernel parameters
  • unloaded kernel modules
  • different kernel parameters
  • older kernel/packages
  • missing packages

You can narrow down which distros work and which hardware support is missing. Also look at archwiki for that specific piece of hardware. You can find a lot of useful information even if you don't use Arch.

thequantumcog ,

No, look up what drivers/modules/packages your hardware need and load them/upgrade/install on the buggy distro

Did you try this? Aria2App

I have infinix Hot 30. At least they allow bootloader unlocking which is becoming rare these days.

Can be caused by musl. Try glibc version

I think AppImage is also an option.
