Did you try the video editor of Blender? I did some of video editing with it. It can use ffmpeg for exporting and parallelization for composition.

One can dream about practical rollable or slidable displays so that it fits in my pocket. And no, I don’t look at foldables. The part where it gets folded just looks ugly.

For me the Palm Pixi was the peak expierence: small, touch friendly, hardware keyboard, relatively open OS, integrated headphone jack, wireless charging and very good battery live.

iPhone 13 mini user here; I can relate. Anything bigger than this is too big for me. I will use it until it breaks or security updates stop. After that I will have to see.

Older, smaller phones with PostmarketOS come to mind. But this OS is not ready for day-to-day-use, just yet.

Nice to read that more and more people are using btrfs on LUKS. I went for the debootstrap route from within a booted debian live iso to omit the debian installer entirely.

I rather do ${line%% *} and avoid awk.

Sadly, I have sound issues since the switch to pipewire is complete. There is less stuttering, yes, but sometimes I experience complete silence. Only if I change the volume a bit, it is back again.

I suspect random switches to the dummy output but I could not find the source of the problem, yet.

It is nice to read that PaperWM is usable again. I need the Gnome fearures, too.

How does OpenZFS to btrfs? Why choose it over btrfs? Is it all about the built-in encryption?

Yes.

For a long time I considered Gentoo the best, because I know my things around there. A month ago I said goodbye to my last Gentoo installation in favour for Debian trixie (the next stable release). Gentoo was too time consuming despite the binary repo.

If it would be my job to maintain a Gentoo system I would gladly accept, but there should be a need for it by the users. Otherwise I would just recommend Debian stable or Fedora.

My favourite is Debian over Fedora, because I often don’t need the latest versions of a software. And there is flatpak.

In 5+ years, when I may have HDR on my desktop, Gnome will be more than ready. (:

I remember a time, when you have to wait for hardware support. But maybe monitors just aren’t the thing you buy every 2-5 years. Mine is more than 10 years old and very sufficient.
