  • Hey :) Thanks for the pointer. This was to beautiful to be true ! I searched around the web and found out what is actually happening in the background (learned something new and important so thank you!). And effectively It was writing to the cache and I wasn’t aware that was a thing on Linux.

    The command I used to track it down: sync & watch -n 1 grep -e Dirty: /proc/meminfo. Took me some time to come across the right command and realize what’s happening.

    Will update my post right way (BTW is still hate MacOS !)






  • multitrack mixing with Ardour over Pipewire and some video editing on kdenlive.

    That’s good to hear ! Nowadays a play a lot with ffmpeg and mkvtools to encode my media library mostly to SVT-AV1/opus. I read somewhere in the documentation that they only playback H.264-encoded content. Does that mean that AV1 isn’t supported OTB yet?

    Also video decoder/Encoder is WIP. Are they only talking about hardware or also software decoding/encoding?

    Thanks for your response !

    I had a similar experience with a “wow the Linux community is beautiful” feeling after booting into Debian on an old rockchip CPU TV box !

    Have a look at the armbian community. Those guys are on another level 😁.


    Edit

    To my surprise, I even discovered that you can boot Armbian on these inexpensive boxes and use them as a lightweight desktop

    Oupsi ! It’s late here so I didn’t read till the end ! Sorry about that 😅



  • Haha, dunno about Garuda, but EndeavourOS is a tad difficult if you never used any Linux based distro before ! Granted it’s easier to setup and maintain than Arch, but still…

    This reminds me of how in the past the swimming instructor just throw you in the pool even If you can’t swim… Some learned the hard way others were traumatized for life.
