I don't think so, this is rather complex video editing software and I never heard about anyone running it in a VM. Maybe I'll give it a try someday.

Exactly the same setup and experience here. Work forces me to use an inferior application in windows instead of a more powerful option in Linux and it boils my blood.

So here I go again, searching the web to find out what jc141 is. I go to Reddit, huge wall of text that says stuff like "Peazip is not recommended to extract zpaq". So I go to GitHub, it links to GitLab, which tells me about Arch: stable, Distrobox, Debian: unstable. 10 minutes have passed and I still don't know what jc141 is. This gives me PTSD, it's Linux at it's worst.

This may not be the right place for a superficial rant, but: I never figured Lutris out. Installed it a couple of times in the past years and rage-deleted it after a week of fiddeling because NOTHING WORKED. Not GZDoom, no emulator, no windows game let alone the RDR2 repack. I don't think I'm that dumb, but seriously, I need help. I love the idea of a gaming platform on Linux, but the time I already sank into this piece of software without accomplishing anything is depressing!

Wow, I installed it today and it's perfect for me! I tried Deadbeef and wanted to like it, but it couldn't replace Foobar. Fooyin can, thanks for the recommendation.

Foobar! I tweaked it for years to be as simple yet powerful as possible. It counted plays, the date when songs were added and last played, which is lost now. It had a beautiful waveform-view I miss every day. And it converted and renamed files exactly as I told it to. I found some workarounds, but nothing comes close. Rhythmbox is good but misses the waveform view. Other applications are beautiful but offer too much bells and whistles, I like it simple. Feel free to recommend stuff!

I was a windows fanboy for more than 20 years. Going back every couple of months feels strange. Windows has changed, feels intrusive and uncandid to me. Linux is still new and sometimes a little strange to me, I miss my perfectly customized music player but apart from that, it's so much fun to use. I can't ever go back. Looking at Windows-user struggling makes me unconformable because i know they will never experienced how using a free OS feels like. They are so used to smartphones and computers shoving stuff down their throats instead of being the best tool you can come up with.

I was one of the commenters but I'm of no help. It just worked. I use Linux Mint, it has Nvidia-support out of the box. I installed sunshine and, well, used it. No extra settings, no tinkering.
I love Mint, btw. I don't see how this is a beginners OS. Just because everything is easy and just works? I have no intentions to distro hop because I don't see anything I could gain from changing to a different Linux version.

I have a Nvidia card, use sunshine and never had any problems in Linux Mint

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

I dual boot Linux Mint, installed it AFTER Windows and never had any problems. I default boot Linux.

I dual boot for two years, because I need a special software for work every couple of months. I mounted my old windows drive in Linux and soft linked it from my Linux home directory. So if I go to home > documents I see my new documents, plus there is a "documents archive" folder, that takes me to my windows drive with it's older documents. I added these soft links to my music, pictures as well. This works great.
I never experienced any problems with windows destroying my boot options. I'm not an expert, but managed to setup GRUP to instantly boot Linux (Mint). If I want windows, I need to push the boot menu key (F11) and actively select it. Otherwise I don't even notice it's even there.

FUCK CONTENT, LET ALL THE MINDLESS DISTRACTION DIE, WE'D BE BETTER OFF IN THE STREETS, SPENDING TIME TOGETHER, BUILDING SOMETHING, ACTUALLY TALKING TO EACH OTHER!
Says a tiny edgelord in me. I would never write something like this, I'm an adult.
