Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

    Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec.. Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

    Kodi / Libreelec are in the same vein as Android TV. There extremely neutered operating systems that can basically only do that one thing, so if they failed at it, well...

    You can really edit documents, run YouTube with a decent UI, possibly use sponsor block, can't do video game streaming.

    Actually, I take it back, Kodi etc are more limited than Android TV on the Pi, since at least that supports Steam Link and Moonlight streaming.

    So yeah, like Android, it can play the video. But it can do anything else like if I were to run any actual distro.

    Oh yeah it's totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I'll "send to Kodi" from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn't a vc1 encode apparently).

    It struggles with vc1 though cause it can't hardware decode it

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

    Yeah I can't speak to that as I don't have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that's a proprietary Microsoft codec so that's probably why I didn't encode anything with it.
