What's the actual error message when you do the import? If there's no graphical error, try launching it from the terminal and check the messages in the terminal when you try to import the video.
The official wiki also has a ton of performance tuning tips, which worth checking out (especially the page on workload tuning).
Hi there, while your post is technically on-topic, it would be more appropriate to post it in a community like [email protected] - that way we're not flooded with screenshots. :)
I'll leave this post up for now, unless we get many complaints.
I think you'd be fine with either, but in the end it comes down to how "hands-off" you want to be, or how much customisability, flexibility and performance you're after. Unlike Manjaro, Cachy is closer to Arch, which means things may on rare occasions break or may require manual intervention (you'll need to keep up with the Arch news). Bazzite on the other hand is the polar opposite, being an immutable distro - updates are atomic (they either work or don't, and in case an update is no good, you can easily rollback to a previous version from GRUB); but this also means you lose some customisability and flexibility - like you can't run a custom kernel or mess with the display manager (logon screen) etc, and you'll need to mostly stick to installing apps via Flatpak or Distrobox.
Overall, if you're after a console-like experience that just works™, then choose Bazzite. On the other hand, if you're a hands-on type of person who likes to fine-tune things and is after the best possible performance, choose CachyOS.
Although not the same, this has been going on for about two years now. Jensen Harris, a former MS engineer, criticized the ads as well as the design of the new Start Menu, over here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1564399431545667585.html
NetworkManager doesn't support DoH, DoT or other recent protocols like DoQ and DoH3. You'll need to set up a local DNS resolver / proxy which can handle those protocols. You could use dnsproxy for this. Once you set it up, you can just use "127.0.0.1" as your DNS server in NetworkManager.
Btw, if possible I'd recommend sticking to DoH3 (DNS-over-HTTP/3) or DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) - they perform better than DoT and vanilla DoH, and are more reliable as well.
I’m running Linux mint
I'd say that's your main issue. Mint isn't really optimised for gaming, as it uses an old and non-gaming optimised kernel, and most packages in general are pretty old. When it comes to Linux and gaming, the #1 rule is to try to get the latest kernel and graphics drivers. You could install a more recent and optimised kernel on Mint, but if you do that you risk breaking things, which may especially happen when you do your next OS upgrade. So I'd recommend switching to either a gaming-optimised distro such as Bazzite, or a distro which has the latest packages and is optimised for performance, such as CachyOS (although I wouldn't recommend it if you're still very new to Linux, since it's based on Arch - if you're new to Linux then Bazzite would be a better option).
The second issue is - which version of Proton are you using? If you're using the official Proton, I'd recommend using Proton-GE instead, as it includes a lot of extra patches and tweaks not present in the official Proton + uses more up-to-date components like DXVK. You can install Proton-GE easily using ProtonUp-Qt. Once you've installed Proton-GE, go to the game's property in Steam and change the compatibility tool to Proton-GE.
I've been meaning to, but never got around to it. Thanks for the reminder!
A microplane grater - it's been really great for dealing with ginger, and even garlic (although for garlic I mostly prefer to just squish it with the flat side of my knife). I've also used the slicer end to make chips out of baby potatoes and turnips.
Another go-to for me is a conventional pressure cooker - I use it when I'm feeling lazy, I just chuck everything in it - lentils/beans + rice + veggies + condiments, and it's all done in one go, only takes 15-20 minutes and there's no need to soak stuff beforehand. The best part is that I put all my ingredients in just a single ceramic bowl, so cleaning the cooker is super easy (just rinse it with water), and I can eat directly off the bowl, which saves me from having to use a separate dish.
You can just install the tools you want on your host OS. But if it's like hundreds of tools then yeah makes more sense to run it inside a VM, just so it's all nice and separate from your daily-driver. And you may think it's funny but the performance of Linux-on-Linux is actually pretty good, and there isn't much of a RAM/CPU overhead either. And if you're really strapped for RAM, you could use KSM (kernel samepage merging) and ballooning.
Many Linux users use VMs (or containers) for separate workloads, and it's a completely normal thing to do. For instance, on my homelab box, my host OS is my daily-driver, but all my lab stuff (Kubernetes, Ansible etc) all run under VMs. The performance is so good that you won't even notice/care that it's running on a VM. This is all thanks to the Linux/KVM/QEMU/libvirt stack, if it were something else like VMWare or VBox, it'd be a lot more clunkier and you can feel that it's running on a VM - but that's not the case with KVM.
I'm not sure what Gaduda is using, but neofetch supports various logo backends (with ASCII being the default). To get a high-resolution image, you might want to use one of the sixel/tycat/w3m/kitty backends (depending on what image protocol your terminal supports).
