Gentoo Update:

I wish I didn't have to evaluate every single Linux distribution in part on "how much of a nightmare is it to install the havsfunc plugin for Vapoursynth, and is it even possible", and yet...

at least the shady third party repo for Vapoursynth on Gentoo is less shady and intrusive than the one for Debian, and less broken too

#Gentoo #Vapoursynth #WhyAreYouLikeThisVapoursynth

I think every single Vapoursynth developer who uses Linux must be using Arch where this stuff is all nicely packaged in the AUR. It is the only possible explanation.

If you ask "why don't you build this all yourself without a shady third party repo?" I tried this when I switched to Debian. It broke me. I couldn't get anything to build at all outside of the base Vapoursynth package without at least a prebuilt Vapoursynth.

And at work I frequently wrangle cross-compiler toolchains and porting software between OSes, and yet...

@gourd vapoursynth on linux is an exercise in hitting yourself in the head with a hammer

@moonsea give me any other alternative to get QTGMC on Linux that isn't equally bad

please
