Totally agreed, but you'd still want gpu decoding.

If you want hardware decoding, first check what your gpu actually supports. vainfo can be used on Linux for example.

If you have a very new gpu, it might support av1 decoding. This is currently the best codec and alsi free.

Otherwise I'd prefer hevc and then avc, in that order. Vp8 or vp9 might also be supported, but they never caught on much so encoders and decoders are generally worse for them than the equivalents for other codecs.

I don't know any private person who was prosecuted for using hevc or avc. Most likely your hardware manufacturer and other companies already paid for the license to use hevc/avc. If you live in the EU it's even less of a problem as software patents are not a thing here, i.e. you can't patent a way to do things.

Foe audio opus is the best codec at the momenr.

Please make sure to compare the quality before and after decoding. Even using a more efficient codec I'd be wary of a 300mb sized movie.

I don't think Zed has an email client and window manager built-in.

Not having automated updates can quickly lead to not doing updates at all. Same goes for backups.

Whenever possible, one should automate tedious stuff.

I recently found out about Softwareheritage, they also have yuzu mirrored.

It still had issues like handling 8-bit colors in ascii art incorrectly last I checked a few years back, with that pr already being a few years old then.

I'd argue against Neofetch being completed. PRs to properly handle custom colors in the terminal properly for example have been open for years.

Doesn't GRUB support LUKS2 nowadays? I know that wasn't the case a year ago or so, but I didn't see a notice on the Archwiki last time I checked.

Afaik they've been pretty good stewards of Wordpress and other software they acquired.

Are you talking about that vm.max_memory something?
Not sure how you'd change it in Nix exactly, but should be simple enough.

It's a distribution completely centered around the Nix package manager. This basically allows you to program how your system should look using one programming language. If you want an identical system, just copy that file and you're set.

Is this still an issue with UEFI nowadays? The other bootloader should still be selectable in the bootmenu if it wasn't overwritten.
