If you try something like this again, use ventoy, it let’s you just drag and drop iso files onto USB and when you boot up you select which one you want to use, so no need to make USB a bunch of times.

I have it installed on a 500GB laptop hard drive that lives in a USB-C case. It’s a little slower than an SSD but I had the hard drives to spare for it and it works well enough. It’s got more than enough space for a complete Medicat plus a dozen other isos along with Windows 10 and 11 (those two only for Swiss army knife purposes) and a separate big partition for programs and other files thar can be mounted and used in the live environments.
I could not get a 1TB USB NVME drive to boot no matter what I tried but that hard drive worked right away and on every machine I’ve tried it on since. 🤷
tl;dr: This.

I’m disappointed that the post isn’t about davinci resolve on linux but your shprt distro hopping story.

Well there wasn’t much to say. Other than importing videos requires you to extract the audio first in pcm/mp3 or making a new container. The editing experience is the same for my use case.
I experienced no hick ups before resolve made me wait a week before I can use it again. The only issue I have is that there is no Title Bar so closing and minimizing resovle isn’t straight forward.
If there was anything specific you’d like to know I can check it out and report back.

Thanks for the write up. I also looked into running Resolve but the lack of AAC support was the kicker.
Funnily enough, my personal experience aligns with yours - Fedora and I just seem to fundamentally dislike each other. I’ve tried it several times, as it looks good on paper, but I’ve had significantly had more issues with it than I ever have with Arch/EndeavourOS.

My distain toward Fedora is IBM/fedoras obstinate to not deliver non-FOSS apps in the official repos. I understand their decision. But forcing users rely on third party projects like RPM Fusion to use non free apps doesn’t feel like a good solution.
If Fedora offered out of the box or an easy method to enable this I wouldn’t have an issue. Even dnf can be forgiven if it didn’t ask so much from the end user.

Endeavour with KDE is honestly godlike. It simply works. occasionally nvidia drivers break initramfs and there was the broken grub issue, but the only other distro I have around is Pop on a laptop I dont want to update frequently and I can only just tolerate it since I dont play games or record/edit on it, anything with no AUR would just be painful otherwise
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from png@discuss.tchncs.de
Yeah, same. Whenever I try out another distro I find myself having to work harder to get things to set up the way I want, compared to Endeavour. Having the AUR at your fingertips makes you spoiled, for sure.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from aleph@lemm.ee
I wish there was a non rolling release distro that supported AUR, but it wouldn’t really work. Some computers just need to work _every_time I turn them on though. Pop! does that (school laptop so no difficult stuff like games on it)
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from png@discuss.tchncs.de
Understandable, although in my experience Endeavour has been as stable and easy to maintain as any point-release distro by simply 1) using the LTS kernel instead of the latest Arch kernel, and 2) using snapper/btrfs-assistant for backups, just in case.
Before I did #1, the most common problem I had was something breaking after a kernel update, but now my system has been running as a daily driver without any breakages or failed boots for over 8 months straight.
One of the devs over at the Endeavour forum did a write up that I think are some great tips to follow if you want to run a stable Arch installation:

To be honest, after my past few months of experience I would also go with endeavour on the laptop, but before then with a nvidia gpu it would occasionally just break in random ways (initramfs, dolphin wouldn’t open, KDE desktop/panel config completely shot, font rendering randomly broken), but all those haven’t happened lately so it probably would be fine now.

Ah yeah, I have an AMD GPU so no issues. For Nvidia, you’re better off with Pop.

If you want to give Fedora a test drive, try Nobara. I believe it has an option to auto install the Nviida drivers on first boot like mint. It’s basically Fedora tweaked towards gaming.

Reading this post makes me so happy that I instantly gravitated towards Linux Mint for my Framework. I’ve been using that distro on it for a while now and I almost forget that it’s not Windows at times with how much it just works (actually it feels more stable than the Windows install I have on one of my other machines).

I would recommend you to use Fedora Atomic, namely universal-blue.org.
It’s the stock Fedora Atomic, but they offer a Cinnamon spin with baked in Nvidia drivers.
If you don’t know why you should choose an immutable distro, especially as content creator, who wants everything to be always working, check out my post here: feddit.de/post/8234416
With that, you can use Distrobox and create a CentOS/ whatever container, which DVR officially recommends and will work best.

Im surprised you didnt try pop os for the ubuntu test and bazzite for the fedora test. They come out of the box with nvidia and everything just works out of the box.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from xnx@slrpnk.net
I have a personal distain towards Ubuntu which is why its not installed. With that said, I didn’t install POP_OS because it didn’t have Cinnamon. That said I see it on the same level as Mint since it includes an easy co fig and setup.
I’ve just spent too much time configuring Pop to look like Windows that I just cut the BS and install Cinnamon/KDE plasma and aim for distros that support it.

Ubuntu is a modded Debian, PopOS takes out the weird stuff. They should still use Fedora instead.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from Pantherina@feddit.de
I don’t really recommend people who don’t like tweaking their os to use fedora because contrary to popular belief it isn’t “redhat ubuntu” or something like that, it is the distro redhat uses to test feautures and push development on new things (like wayland for example) so that the users of their corporate distros can have a seemless experience on well tested code

I don’t have nvidia hardware, but 15 years ago the proper way to setup the drivers on fedora was via rpmfusion rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA.

That’s what I did the first install and it borked my install. Most troubleshooting said it was a TPM thing, but nothing I tried could recover the desktop so I had to resinstall.

Got as far as
I can install the driver from Nvidia itself and install it that way
and noped out. Protip, never, ever install the driver from Nvidia, that’s windows thinking. Find out how to install in from your distro (in this case RPMFusion, or better for this person, bazzite). It might even work, but it will break on updates.

steam does not work
Do not install the flatpak version of steam, it’s not worth it.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works
Why not? And how would you use steam on immutables without flatpak?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from DmMacniel@feddit.de
Because steam is fundamentally a package manager and you wouldn’t install a package manager from flatpak either.
You can find your solution for making steam work on an immutable distro if you want, but the fact of the matter is that using steam on flatpak is not recommended because it is famously broken.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works
That’s quite the interesting take buddy.
All you have to do is granting file access to the directories you want the games/applications to be installed. That’s all I had to do atleast.

Never had a problem with Steam as Flatpak. It solves those 32bit dependencies perfectly without polluting the rest of the OS with 32bit crap.
The only downside I found was the lack of installing games outside the home directory.
Experience might be different for Nvidia users but using Radeon I had a smooth experience with Flatpak Steam.
(Disclaimer: currently my main gaming platform is Steam Deck, so I don’t experience Steam Flatpak every day nowadays but just past new year’s eve friends had trouble getting to install some Jackbox Party Pack on some weird Xubuntu version using the Steam .deb package and then I installed the Flatpak and it just worked.)

The only downside I found was the lack of installing games outside the home directory.
Make additional locations like /mnt/c available to the Steam flatpak with e.g. Flatseal or the raw flatpak cli then

I do not know what you did to debian to make steam not work. Since that have been flawless on my debian for half a decade. And ocasionally glitchy the half decade before that.

I am currently using a NVMe to USB-C adapter right now. And while loading is reminding me a bit of the early 2010’s, it’s fast enough to play games on it. I am aware that there are NVMe to PCI adapter, I’m just being cheap. Though when I hit the point of editing I’ll probably move over to that.

So, you’re a complete beginner who doesn’t know what they’re doing
And?
You should just keep to Linux Mint if you don’t want to learn distro config inside and out, it’s literally what it’s designed for, don’t listen to trolls who say you should run fucking Arch
(Debian is not easy as well. Ubuntu exists because Debian was too hard to install lol actually if you deep down inside it’s even more complicated)

I was hoping it would be too TBH. DNF5 is looking promising and I know Fedora can game. Maybe it’s just a quirk of the Cinnamon Spin of it. Probably isn’t but I can’t think of what else it could’ve been.

According to news items from a couple of years ago, the proper Nvidia driver repository is available in Gnome Software: www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-NV-GNOME-Soft-HDR. Only one click is supposedly needed. Your journey sounds way more complicated. Was the approach to Nvidia changed by Fedora since then?
That said, I never tried it myself because fuck Nvidia.

For Fedora with NVIDIA I can just recommend ublue -nvidia images which work out of the box.
Linux Mint DE gave you these problems because of XOrg, in a year or so their Desktop will be ready for Wayland.
No its not the best of GNOME with a traditional Panel etc. Its a far deviation, dasht-to-panel is way better or use ZorinOS which is kinda strange but partly FOSS I dont know really. Their GNOME customizations should work everywhere.

Eh, I get what you mean but not really. This person didn’t try Arch or some weirdly specific distro.
Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and derivatives all promise to be full desktop solutions to regular users, mostly domestic, some enterprise. And if that’s the promise, you don’t have to have a deep understanding of Linux or even PCs to use them - go ask Mac users what kernel they’re running or what a system daemon is, yet they can use their systems just fine.
If Fedora promises to be a good all purpose distro, having the majority of potential users not able to easily install GPU drivers because “it’s philosophically against our distro to have a simple toggle for proprietary drivers” is just a terrible choice, no getting around that, even if a more experienced user with the right knowledge could install said drivers in less than 5 minutes.

Naive question but what does Davinci Resolve do that Kdenlive does not?
I’m asking for a “normal” user, not somebody who is trying to master the latest Dune for a production environment (even though I’d still be curious).
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from utopiah@lemmy.ml
I think you need to define “normal”.
Normal as in, drag and drop clips and music then output the results. Not much since they are both free, but Kden arguably better is better since it’s compatible with AAC audio.
Normal as in, doing YouTube for fun. Then the workflow is a lot easier, like being able to duplicate entire video tracks, or change the order of the layers. A very robust effects system with Fusion that can be copied to other clips in a timeline.
I personally prefer Resolve for my workflow, as it makes my life easier. But I do usually have Kden on my laptop since (a) Resolve doesn’t work on Intel GPUs… yet (b) I see it as a better MS Movie Maker.

Fedora has a (disabled) present repo for Nvidia drivers from rpm fusion OOTB. Just open the hamburger in gnome software, go to software repositories and enable “RPM Fusion for Fedora - Nonfree - NVIDIA Driver”, and install akmod-nvidia as usual.
