  • I’ve used it for many of my videos and it’s quite good. It’s amazing for simple edits and can handle more advanced stuff, but from my experience it bogs down with many effects. For complicated projects I recommend Resolve, but for simple to medium complexity video edits I fully recommend Kdenlive, as it’s better and more crash resistant than all the other FOSS video editors.












  • No joke, I’m tempted to buy a Steam Deck (or true Linux phone) because… It can run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support. This is the power of having an OS that is not locked down.

    Speaking of which, what would you recommend for me to run a local HTML/CSS/JS app on a browser with filesystem access and audio support? (No, Android is too locked down to meet that spec) Other required specs:

    • Portable: Can fit in a pocket
    • 16GB or more usable storage
    • Bluetooth support
    • Ideally low-cost

    Edit: I figured out a way to do it on my phone! I used the “Simple HTTP server” app to self host the HTML/CSS/JS into http://127.0.0.1:8080/.





  • One thing to add is that you should factor in the costs of the games and other console BS. If you want to use a physical cartridge, you have to pay another $80. Then, most games are $70. There is a subscription for online content. These costs can easily go over $1000 in total, and remember a PC can be used for more than just gaming. In some cases, it can be fair to compare a $1000-$1200 PC to this $700 console.





  • Funny enough, my college pushed me to a Linux dual boot.

    One of my classes required an Ubuntu environment for C++ programming, and after trying and failing to get WSL working, I decided to just dual boot (from 2 separate SSDs) instead of trying to work around the limitations of a VM.

    On the other hand, 2 of my other classes required a Windows-only program.

    I used to default to Windows, but after the BS from Microsoft this year I switched to defaulting to Ubuntu.
