I'm sorta sporadic listener regarding podcasts. I haven't found my routine yet and only listen when being in my car (3-5h every two weeks or so), that's when I listen to all my backlog that piled up. I'm often watching Linux news on YouTube, unless I know I have car time coming. My patreonship is mostly to support your work, podcast are bonus! I wouldn't mind paying 2 bucks to support you even more. I can't realistically justify $5 in my current situation, that's why I took the 1$ deal. Wish you best

2024-11-13 20:34:33 +0000 UTCI don't understand why Blackmagic doesn't at least offer a deb or a rpm package for Resolve, there's no way a .run file isn't going to break some Linux installs. I wonder if using a Rocky Linux container in distro box could make installing DaVinci Resolve easier.

I just don't see it happening. second, for those who didn't answer the poll, it's hard to guess what exactly they will do, but even assuming they're more likely to be passive supporters, it means there's less chance they will drop (also less that they will upgrade, but that's not a big deal). I think changing the tier structure is the right choice.

2024-11-12 13:34:25 +0000 UTCYeah, Resolve is a pain, it's just badly packaged, and they only support it for very out of date distros... Interesting, I thought the Linuxiac issue would be linked to my profile, but I have the issue on a fresh new one inside Floorp, which is basically Firefox. Not sure what's the problem here, I don't even have extensions in there.

2024-11-12 11:06:33 +0000 UTCDaVinci Resolve is a challenge to install. Only officially supported on Rocky Linux now (CentOS replacement). I'm in process of building my Linux media system hardware with plans to try Resolve on Nobara first, and fall back to Rocky if necessary. GREAT detailed Resolve on Rocky installation walk through here by Chris Barnatt (Explaining Computers channel): < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS9ghuQSN9M&t=1531s >

2024-11-11 16:52:03 +0000 UTCYou know what, to heck with it, I'll upgrade to the $5 tier straight away. Your work is excellent!

2024-11-11 16:45:44 +0000 UTCYou are one of only a few Linux creators I am a Patreon of, primarily because of the work you put in to bring use news in a fast and concise method and put in effort on quality. Not to say there are not other quality creators out there, but you resonate well with me and I love the quality. Thanks for all the work you do!

2024-11-11 15:26:50 +0000 UTCThanks for your work. I really appreciate your daily news and patroncasts so definitely going to change tiers. 2 dollars is really not much for such a valuable thing.

2024-11-11 13:38:34 +0000 UTCI don't do video editing but Resolve seems to be a pain for many Linux content creators. Have you tried to containerize it yourself with distrobox? Michael Horn has a tutorial on YouTube covering that , though it might be outdated: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wmRiZQ9IZfc Another option could be to use DaVincibox which is a ready made podman container to run resolve, I don't know if you have tried that before: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox I checked a few Linuxiac articles on the firefox flatpak with Ublock origin and everything runs smoothly on a M3 Intel Chromebook ;) I had issues with the ungoogled chromium flatpaks too where it just wouldn't load any webpage. I think that chromium based browsers don't play too well with the flatpak sandboxing and are probably hard to package in a container.
