A core developer quit and forked it to make freenginx, based on a claim of corporate interference in security practices.
This was about 6 months ago and probably what you are thinking of. Its still open source, there doesn't seem to be anything that's come of the issue that was the cause of the split, and nginx is still actively developed.
it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997
As a Debian user... Its the same in 2024.
So... Just Robert Picardo then?
I'm not exactly the typical user here, but honestly Resolve is the best option on Linux. My caveat here is that I run Resolve on my stable box, which is a Debian box, and works beautifully.
codec support is the issue as a free version, but two things there - if you're editing, mp4 is generally not what you want anyway, and you can just use ffmpeg (or any variety of tools that use ffmpeg underneath but give you a gui) if you've got a file you need that its the only container format.
If you're doing it professionally, its $300, and worth buying. Much like buying Reaper for the whopping cost of $60 (personal)/$225 (commercial).
Regarding Wayland support, I think the first release addressing it was around March or April, and is fully supported in Resolve 19. I haven't tested, because my Debian Stable box is not using Wayland, so I personally won't test probably for a few months (or if I get an itch to try it on my 1700x Arch box).
GPU just needs OpenCL 1.2, so despite some previous snafus (needing nvidia) with GPU, AMD works just fine.
Windows? Mouse without borders
Linux/Mac/mix of that and windows? Barrier.
If, of course, you can install things on your work laptop.
Ok, so had to mention while looking at some game stuff to install... I remembered that I have a gog account, grabbed lutris, and boy is Quest for Glory 1 entertaining on this! QFG2-5 installed as well, unfortunately the touchscreen doesn't work great in that mode. Solaar + a spare logitech mouse and off to play... Going to have to grab my steam controller when I get up. I think a stupid fun classic game/emulation station is what this is going to be! (At least until I decide to do something else)
Agreed - lets be honest, Lenovo put zero thought into this. Its just a tiny with a screen basically glued to the top, and tons of poorly managed cables coming out of the back. You could technically get away with just the power cord on it since it has wifi, but its kind of nonsensical that way. I could build a battery pack, but.... meh.
Small arcade is definitely a fun idea though, something I could stick in the living room. Since it has two video outs as well, I could set it up to take over the TV or just be a standalone as the mood strikes.
For office attire or going out, sure.
If you're doing repair work, running lines, etc, a watch is the choice. Your hands are busy, so a watch is what you need (Except for specific trades where you don't want to risk it getting caught in machinery).
I can say with 100% certainty that I know large swaths of folks in their 20's and 30's who regularly wear watches. Some smart, some digital, some analog.
Different profiles on Firefox are nowhere near Chrome.
I'm still going to use FF, but there are areas it lags behind Chrome. That's the only big one for me.
My one amendment would be - forget Ubuntu and variants, just Debian is fine with older hardware. Less headaches and hassles, and some snaps.
I'd even say Mint Debian Edition over Ubuntu.
Oh I'm not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don't need flash, I need function.
I wouldn't mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I'm not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.
