@Magister @KickassWomen What OS and release? As I mentioned, I didn't have issue with 22.04 Ubuntu but do with 24.04 Ubuntu-Mate.

@299792458ms @KickassWomen Problem with downgrading Firefux is that an older release won't read a newer releases profile.

@sun_is_ra Great, what OS are you running, what release? I'm on Ubuntu-Mate 24.04, did not have issues with 22.04, but Thorium is working fine on 24.04.

@KickassWomen It is primarily maintained by them but it is an open sourced project and there are other contributors. But whatever, if you find something that doesn't involve Google and still properly functions and doesn't do slimy tactics like replace a vendors ads with it's own, AKA Brave, I'm interested, in the meantime I need something that at least functions which Firefux ceased to do.

@sun_is_ra @KickassWomen You can run Firefox as flatpak, snap, or you can use the Mozilla repository and install as .deb package. However no matter which way you use it, the video is broken on some Youtube videos, Bitchute has no audio, and Netflix won't play at all, which is why I switched to Thorium.

@KickassWomen Alexander Frick is the lead developer of the Thorium browser. Thorium is a cross-platform, open-source web browser based on Chromium. That's Chromium as in the open source browser, not Chrome as in the Google browser, and it still has the old API that works with ad-blockers. I am using ublock origin with it and it works great.

I've been having issues with Firefox since v128, and I've tried snap, flatpak, and straight from the Mozilla repository. I ended up switching to Thorium which works with all the same plugins I was using for Firefox, has the same general layout, AND can import my bookmarks and passwords from Firefox so it was a pretty seamless transition.

@folkrav @reallyzen For that application you might want to try a real time or at least low latency kernel. Even the low latency kernel will generally manage a latency of <1ms which for most audio is sufficient. It is working well enough for me at least.

@wildbus8979 No but completely relevant to your comment. Such is the nature of conversational threads.

My setup is not very portable, I'll give you that.

@reallyzen Since I built the computer, I'm not too worried about hardware failures, I am competent in repairing them.

@reallyzen @N0x0n kdenlive uses ffmpeg so formats it has available depend upon what is compiled into your ffmpeg which for many linux distros is minimal. However, if you grab FFmeg from github, then configure it for every possible option and install all of the necessary libs (some of which you will also need to compile because most Linux distros do not include all of them), THEN kdenlive will have all possible output formats presently supported by opensource, but there are literally several hundred libraries and options needed, this and the configure file is a real piece of shit that rather than telling you every library that is missing so you can go chase them down all in one shot, instead tells you the first one missing and aborts, so you chase that down, run it again, and this literally takes about 300 iterations. But if you go through the trouble of doing all this and then put YOUR FFmpeg in the $PATH ahead of the system one, kdenlive will now show all the available formats for both input and output.
