  • I was being encouraged to learn programming by my brother-in-law, so when I was going through the lessons in the course he bought there was a section on Linux. At first I was thinking on how would I be able to install in a virtual machine but my brother-in-law in all his wisdom said “why don’t you dual-boot”. After some planning so I don’t nuke my hard drive and flashing LMDE as my first distro I installed Linux and did the rest of the course there.

    I’ve distro hopped 3 times since then:

    LMDE (3 months) -> Ubuntu LTS (4 months) -> Arch (2 years) -> NixOS (2 weeks)








  • If you want to be a little adventurous, just install vanilla arch and it will be great, but if you want a little bit of a easier install with all the same benefits, use endeavor os.

    If you want something not arch based the only thing I can recommend is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, I've heard great things about it.

    Also about Hyprland and Nvidia, I've been using Hyprland for some months now with Nvidia and it's been working great. I do have a significantly older card then you, but it could be worth a try to see if it works. You just have to follow the Hyprland wiki very carefully and you should be fine.



  • Mkv not so much a video format as it is a container format, so maybe it could be separated like this:

    Video format: av1
    Audio format: opus/flac
    Subtitle format: srt/ass
    Thumbnail format: jxl
    Container format: mkv

    As far as I know mkv supports all the formats outlined in this list and multiple streams of it.

    Edit: I was wrong about the thumbnail format, it only supports jpg and png
