Sorry, I thought of Capcut. That’s the newest thing in the tiktok generation of people, because you don’t need any braincells to use it.

It is also proprietary, only has a windows build, and a Garbage tier on WineHQ.

Shotcut does not work on Linux.

Because especially for very low profile systems its more than enough, so you dont need to use something like vim or nvim.

What do computers have to do with it anyway?

It is not for me personally, but for a person who wants a gui. And a Touch screen. Also I need an on Screen Keyboard because he also does not want to use a keyboard or mouse.

I tried using a very simple compositor like cage to just start shortwave, but I couldnt get my Keyboard to work since it needs gnome accessibility runtime to automatically show when clicking a text field.

And also xfce is more than light enough not to take up more than 1-2 secs of the total boot time

The flatpak thing was just the jellyfin-media-player so I can play my music from jellyfin too, but I guess ill just set up DLNA so I can stream to the device from my Phone

Yes, I personally use flatpak because I want a reliable way to update packages that are not in the native repositories. Still, I would love if it would be like snaps in the sense that I can use the native libraries and only install the app as flatpak.

Its just really frustrating to have to install the whole fricking gnome desktop again just so some flatpak can use it

Void Linux is the Definition of „lacks a few packages”

Sort of, actually

I was trying to build a PC just to play internet radio on using Shortwave, and a 30€ thin client with 4 1,5Ghz cores and no active cooling, 4 gigs of ram and an 8gb ssd were more than enough for that

where you you even get an 8gb ssd

I bought a Fujitsu thin client for 30€, and I decided to spend the 5€ extra to get one with a drive (making it 30€ total.

why would you use one outside of some specialized embedded application that shouldn’t even have a desktop interface?

1. I have way too much free time

2. I have no money

3. Originally it should only have been a minimal void Linux install so it can connect to my local server via RDP. But I just realised that that futro s920 with 4 1,5ghz cores is actually way faster and more reliable than my 4th gen Intel i5 will ever be

and even then why not something lighter than kde or gnome

I ssh’d into the PC. It runs xfce4, and it is just made to display shortwave (an Internet radio player) in full screen on a cashier terminal screen that I ripped from the terminal assembly. I just needed the cheapest thing to run shortwave on so my father has an Internet radio, since the other 2 options were

• buy a big ass Antenna for his normal radio, or

• buy a used Internet radio for 200€ (this way it only cost about 90€), wait until its Server is shut down, and then somehow with a mix of wireshark, dns logging, and pure luck somehow locally rerout the domain that the radio tries to connects to, figure out what kind of json file I need to host on my local server in order to make it refresh it’s database of Radios, and maintain these IPs forever.

also, please note, the image is in no way connected to this project, it just reminded me of it

Its a Fujitsu futro s920, got it off ebay

Why would you waste your energy and manage something yourself when they collect your data anyway?

OK, but why is it a for profit company in the first place?

And why does open source Software like xz, ffmpeg, etc still work without being for profit?

Fucking liberal.

Thanks

So, I cant watch the video right now

Is this like a shitpost, or one of these Clickbait Videos where someone tries to download linux and they just tripped some captcha system, so now they clickbait that to infinity?

But you dont need a general Llm for that. You can just use a way smaller and way less energy comsuming one than something like ChatGPT

SteamOS falls into the category of about 2 arch forks that have a reason to exist.

EndeavourOS is even worse.

It will install, and work, but then after one update it will just Brick because the newbie didn’t read the Patch notes from the arch RSS feed.

of innocent noobs

Don’t know about you, but I only recommend arch when someone says they want the most costumisable distro. No matter if they just mean the DE, if they are too dumb to realise the difference between a DE and a distro, they shouldn’t be on Linux anyway.

I dont think you know how the american legal system works

Someone (the state, unitedhealthcare, or just about anyone) will just sue him over and over again for the most ridiculous reasons until he has no money left or he commits suicide. There are no precautions for that scenario, so it will very likely happen.

Nope. Gentoo in the middle
