  • GNU Parallel works well for this kind of thing. A lot of audio stuff is single threaded, so unlike video transcoding running multiple conversions simultaneously is a useful thing to do. The command is simpler, too:

     
            parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.opus ::: *.m4a
      
  • I switched my laptop to Wayland about three years ago. AMD graphics, normal DPI 60Hz screen, doesn't really do more than run a web browser.

    My gaming desktop needed more of those troublesome edge cases hammered out - freesync in xwayland, app DPI scaling in xwayland, etc. I only switched it last year.

  • I'd argue the root cause was Nvidia insisting that X11 was the future, they'd never support Wayland, and refusing to participate in any of the design processes. As a result when they got dragged kicking and screaming into supporting Wayland, nothing that had been developed without Nvidia suited their hardware or drivers.

    They first tried to throw their weight around by forcing EGLStreams on everyone, failed, and they've been scrambling to catch up ever since.

  • This. I once sat in stationary traffic for an hour and a half because a truck rolled over on a major highway. Nowadays I put my destination into Waze and if the best route is a long detour I just turn the car off and go back inside.

  • Well, we've now got Steam Deck turning your portable console into a full PC, just connect a keyboard. Also no need to buy a Steam Deck version of that game you bought on Steam ten years ago, it's already there and probably runs great.

    It might be that proprietary, single purpose gaming portables are going to lose to more flexible portables even if smartphones are too limited to do the job.
