Which version did you try? I used the 24.12.something version earlier this year for some rather complicated project and it was very stable.

I know they had stability issues before but not with that version. Disclaimer: I did not do video editing since, so I cannot say if the stability issues are back.

Did you reboot sometime while testing? Chances are that e.g. a new kernel or Nvidia driver version broke the current system and needs a reboot to fix it.

Ever tried asking in Ubuntu forums for help for Mint, Pop or any other derived distribution?

It might be toxic but I understand if people that donate their free time to help others get tired of being asked for help for problems that were caused by the offspring distribution. I did not follow it nowadays but back in the days this was the same with Manjaro which caused issues every now and then by holding back some upgrades.

Nice. Have fun with it!

Agreed. My answer was in the assumption that it’s about desktop apps as the OP mentioned Electron.

I think I heared that lan-only mode means you need to transfer the files to print via SD card.

Go with one of the ready to use systems. Flatpak, Snap, AppImage. Snap is largely Ubuntu Ecosystem, Flatpak is independent. AppImage is an option if you do not need/want a Sandbox.

Stay away from Docker and LXC for this use case (graphical applications), they are much more work to get going.

I have some Sandy Bridge systems here running strong as Linux desktops for light work. You know, these 4-core 3,3GHz processors from - hmm - 2014?

Honestly I doubt it that Deckard will change that much. First the basics must be fixed. My Index is also laying around collecting dust. Worked okay-ish at first but is mostly unusable at the moment.

I use an AMD 7900rx with an AMD 7950x processor since almost a year with Gnome / Wayland on Arch. No problems up to now. Yes, I am a gamer too.

As others said it depends on the distribution you use.

glibc is a library, gcc is the compiler.

I use Gnome but Cinnamon and Gnome are not that different in that topic IIRC. I have to mount the remote folder via file manager (Nautilus) then I can access the files in Code.

Let’s call it “soonish”. The old proton versions still need 32 bit libs if they do not backport the feature.

Great article. Reminds me of the time when I started using Linux as my main work system, back with kernel 0.99z

But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.

I would start with Ardour and see if it fulfills your needs.

Ubuntu using Snaps might be more of an issue than Gnome 44 vs older version. Not?

If you use pipewire instead of pulse audio then you can install pipewire-jack and then use any of the jack patchbay applications to rewire the channels. Currently I use qpwgraph but there are several options.
