Oh yeah it was emotional, i’ve been passively researching this for ever.
The build turned into a 10 hour stream. The motherboard’s manual didn’t make it clear which headers were for the front panel so i connected the power button wrong, that’s where three of those hours went.
CachyOS gave me enough frustration that i’m reconsidering my decisions, but that’s a problem for later haha
Having not built a PC recently, the size of the M.2 drive blew my mind, i didn’t expect it to be so small. The CPU as well.
I was also surprised at how small the cooling heatsink is, but not in a good way, i think i may have undersized it haha
According to my research, you need the latest Linux kernel and the latest Mesa drivers package. Some distros don’t use the latest because they want more stability.
My planned distro (PopOS) is one of those, so i’ll have to manually update. Haven’t done anything like this before but it’ll probably be fine.
According to my research, you need the latest Linux kernel and the latest Mesa. PopOS doesn’t have them, so i’ll update to them manually.
Thankfully the CPU does have integrated graphics and the motherboard does have an HDMI port, so even if it doesn’t work out of the box, i’ll at least be able to operate the computer for the time needed to get it working.
Yeah, i should have bought an AIO watercooling, but then i had a dad moment and said “i don’t want water anywhere near muh PC i don’t care how safe it is”.
It’ll be fiiiine
I’ve been learning DaVinci Resolve. I wouldn’t recommend anything else whether it’s Windows or Linux, but it happens to be natively compatible with Linux.
Admittedly though i haven’t actually used Premiere because i didn’t make it past the installation process. The only video editor that i’ve spent time in aside from Resolve was Kdenlive, which is clearly not up to par.
It’s a Samsung A21s.
I’m gonna be honest, i don’t know that it’s imposible, i just really don’t like my odds of being able to do it from what i’ve seen of phones being very proprietary and very locked in. It’s a big thing making me scared to try LineageOS. I’m about to build a Linux PC, and it’s way easier to make that decision when i know i can always fall back onto Windows.
This is my first time hearing about this. I’ll see if this is a viable option.
Thanks!
The stability is one thing, but the list of devices you can install it on is really restrictive. Turns out all alternative mobile OSs are like this, they can’t be installed on just anything - or at least that would require technical work that they (correctly) assume the user won’t do.
This time around i intentionally bought a phone that’s compatible with Lineage OS, but i’m scared to do it since i can’t re-install the original OS if i fuck something up
