Nope I downloaded VLC through the software manager.
Interesting to hear that it caused so many issues then 🤔. FWIW, I’ve personally been using MPV since I’m on Linux. I don’t remember the exact reason, but if my memory serves me right; support for it on Linux somehow seemed superior compared to VLC. Related; e.g. it’s actually found in Fedora’s repos.
I’m going to do this for one week, doing daily updates and trying my god-damned best to get this shit software to do what the community says it can do.
Kudos for sticking with it for a bit longer! Please feel free to seek help from the community; though be mindful of your language if possible, I’m sure it will contribute to more people reaching out.
I managed the get Nvidia working on 39, which looks like an accomplishment given the other post linked about Nvidia and issues with 39.
Well done! Please note that a random update related to Nvidia might break your system in the future. If you don’t want to deal with that in the future, running one of those Nvidia Images from uBlue ensures that from happening in the first place. This offers some explanation to what it achieves and how. TL;DR:
“We’ve slipstreamed the Nvidia drivers right onto the operating system image. Steps that once took place on your local laptop are now done in a continuous integration system in GitHub. Once they are complete, the system stamps out an image which then makes it’s way to your PC.
No more building drivers on your laptop, dealing with signing, akmods, third party repo conflicts, or any of that. We’ve fully automated it so that if there’s an issue, we fix it in GitHub, for everyone.
But it’s not just installation and configuration: We provide Nvidia driver versions 525, 520, and 470 for each of these. You can atomically switch between any of these, so if your driver worked perfectly on a certain day and you find a regression you just rebase to that image.”
Btw mounting a NAS is basic, basic office environment functionality. I don’t know how Linux ever expects to take over in the office if mounting a NAS drive is this stupid and difficult.
I hope am sure there’s an easy way, we just have to figure out what that is. Wish you the best of luck, though!
Btw, if the idea of Nobara did interest you, perhaps you should consider Bazzite; which is a project related to uBlue, but which -like Nobara- tries to be properly setup for gaming from the get-go.
