@3s25q2ec I don't think using AI to setup/repair Linux is bad on it's own, but you should be knowing a bit what you are doing and not blindly execute commands AI gives you (AI shouldn't be a replacement for manuals). Also for desktop Linux I think this is not really problematic, but I don't like it at all when people try to fix issues on their Linux servers with AI. In that term AI tends to cause many more problems and in case of my friends, they then reach out to me to get that stuff fixed.

@julianmaiz @liquidparasyte Also if you want to transfer files to a separate Linux PC and back, you could do that over networking, by either setting up an SMB share / temporary web server or just like 'airdropping' files with KDE-Connect (it is also available for Windows). The PCs need to be on the same network though...

@julianmaiz @liquidparasyte I'd suggest using BTRFS when dealing with both Linux and Windows, since there are some Windows drivers for it that seem to work fine (they need to be installed manually). I also used exFAT in the past which supports files over 4 GB and works on Windows without any additional drivers and I didn't have as many problems with them on Linux as with NTFS (doesn't have journaling though, so there is a higher risk of data corruption when unplugging without safely ejecting).

@liquidparasyte Don't use NTFS on Linux, the driver for it is not completely implemented and might cause data-loss when writing to a disk and not ejecting it properly (soft-bricking the disk). Just use a different FS, if possible, as in my experience it was alsways kind of experimental. I'd just use it to get files from a Windows Dual-Boot, but only copying them and not writing to it.

@mort They affect how the Alsa clients from userspace behave, so in terms of what is the default audio interface (e.g. if an alsa native program uses the PA plugin or a sound device directly). But I found out that they can behave quite differently on different audio servers (I switched from PA to Pipewire and my alsa config caused problems which were solved by just removing it)

@mort Just to explain it a bit better, we still have Alsa as kind of the base low-level audio driver. On top of alsa there can be various audio servers (only one at a time) such as PulseAudio (PA), Pipewire (replacement for PulseAudio) or Jack (used for low-latency audio for music production). And some of those audio servers then implement an Alsa compatability plugin to still support Alsa for older applications. So visually what you have is:
Alsa Client -> PA Alsa Plugin -> PA -> low-level Alsa

@mort We dont really use Alsa anymore directly, since it doesn't support mixing, meaning you can only have one application playing per audio interface / channel. Therefore PulseAudio has a plugin so older Alsa applications can still play sound through the newer sound architectures. So PulseAudio tells you that the sound comes from an Alsa client and the Client (aplay) tells you that you are playing through the PulseAudio plugin.

I just finished producing another #cyberpunk soundtrack in the #ardour #daw which I might use in my upcoming #opensource game (Ghostrunner inspired). Everything was made only on #Linux and with the help of open-source tools (LSP Plugins and Vitalium). I think it turned out pretty nice, but I'd be happy to receive some feedback anyways. There might still be something to improve.

@0Sekhmet0 NTFS ist einfach nur das Dateisystem, was Windows seit Windows XP unterstützt und ab einem gewissen Punkt der Standard war (Ich glaube ab Windows 7).

@0Sekhmet0 Wenn du Linux auf dem gleichen PCs / Laptop installierst, wo auch Windows drauf ist, kannst du einfach auf Windows als Partition zugreifen, das ist nicht auf NTFS beschränkt, bei FAT (egal ob 32 oder 16) geht das natürlich auch. Der Hinweis bezog sich nur auf NTFS, da dieses nicht vollständig unterstützt wird. FAT hingegen schon. Soweit ich weiß läuft aber auch Windows 7 auf NTFS... Netzwerk kommt nur bei zwei separaten Geräten in Frage.

@0Sekhmet0 Du kannst von Linux aus auf das Dateisystem des anderen Systems (Windows) direkt über den Dateimanager zugreifen und dir alle Dateien, die du brauchst rüber ziehen (im Fall von Dual-Boot). Du solltest allerdings nicht auf die Windows Partition schreiben, da in Linux NTFS nicht vollständig implementiert ist. Wenn du zwei separate PCs (mit SSH-Server) hast kannst du scp über das Netzwerk benutzen, um Dateien auszutauschen (Bsp.: scp <user>@<host>:/Pfad/zur/Datei /lokaler/Pfad/zur/Datei)

@chuso What comes to my mind is that the supported bandwidth isn't enough and that would explain why other codecs don't work. But I'm not sure about this since it also doesn't work on your other devices...

@chuso Have you gotten any other bluetooth audio device to work or have similar issues with? I had this exact issue some time ago and all I needed was just a different Bluetooth adapter since the current one seemed to have a hardware incompatibility or something with audio devices...

@xan.lol Looks like the flatpak may not use your systems DNS settings or something else DNS related...

@ehrba Was für ein WLAN Modul hast du und welche Distro verwendest du? Du könntest als eine Art 'Notlösung' USB-tethering verwenden und somit einfach den WLAN Empfang des Telefons weiterleiten.

@dylenar @magitian I think GPU screen recorder might do that job just fine. But it has way less features (no overays and stuff for streaming, no preview, etc...) It's literally what it says on the tin, a simple program that can record your desktop using GPU acceleration and multiple audio streams and either save it locally or livestream it to a variety of platforms.

@dylenar Hello, why exactly do you need an alternative for it? What would said alternative need to be able to do / needs to do differently?

@adingbatponder You can totally do something like this. I'd add some custom routes via `ip route`, so the system only goes to wifi to reach said IP and uses the other network as WAN, but there should be also an option to configure something like this in your network manager GUI.

@Niall What program are we talking about, that doesn't seem to run? The Java version that it wants is pretty old...

@fasnix Ist secure boot vllt noch an? Wär jetzt das erste, woran ich denken würde...
