No issue for me regarding broken windows explorer. Directory opus user since my amiga days :-) Still forced to use Windows for work and well gaming. There are still some tools only developed for Windows, especially work related software coded for my employer were wine is not enough.
Bro, buddy, compadre, 99% don't even know what an operating system is
Recall is not mandatory after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBqIUkmVel8
Recall and the new file explorer share a dependency, except the file explorer doesn't mark it as a dependency, so when Recall is removed, it is removed as well. Good job, Microsoft.
Ahh the beautiful wonders of Agile software development.
PR trainwreck is strong with this one
Fucking incredible.

Most of my stuff works on Linux now, so, yay. Currently only thing holding me back from doing a full switch is essentially video editing.
My current go-to video editor is Vegas Pro, and it just works like an extension of me, for me. I've tried few editors on linux (kdenlive, davinci) but they're either very limited/odd/user-error-id10t or just doesn't support video formats I need (davinci, free version doesn't support h264 or hevc, and not feeling like shelling north of 300 USD for it). Next up on my testing plate is Shotcut, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Check out Blender. It's primarily a 3D modeling software like Maya or Houdini, but it has an incredibly powerful video editor built into it.
I've used Shotcut on PopOS.
Worked pretty well for doing something about as complex as a editing together a typical youtube video.
Hell I even managed to get it to support h.265 after some tinkering. h264 and hevc worked as well.
Also, in a similar vein... Krita is basically Photoshop from about a decade ago in terms of functionality, less outdated UI and more functional than GiMP, though its a bit chonkier (memory / CPU intensive).
Krita isn't a photoshop clone, it's a drawing program.
Every single time I mention that Krita is basically an older version of photoshop, someone appears and says this.
I never said its a photoshop clone, as in it has parity with modern photoshop.
I said it can basically be used as one would have photoshop from a decade ago.
This is true, no matter whether or not it was 'designed with drawing and digital media creation in mind.'
If you need something with more options and features than GiMP, or you don't like GiMPs user interface... Krita works quite well.
I tried a few out and found that Flowblade worked best for me. If you're only trimming and combining video though, you MUST check out Lossless Cut. It's ridiculously fast.
thank you for the tip, will check it out.
Essentially what I need is 3+ audiotracks, compressors for each and master. Then annotate with images/text whatever video there is. And yes it's gameplay videos mostly.
lossless cut not really a concern, but I'd like to have the end result rendered out fast, so nvenc (current hardware) or so would be grand.
But, will expirement!
Removing recall doesn't break file explorer. Removing recall removes a dependency of File explorer for some reason. If you keep the dependency installed it works fine.
While true, this puts a lot of the assumptive burden on a lot of βnormal/average humansβ that donβt look beyond the desktop or browser to know more about How the OS works. That being said I agree with you and this should be higher.
Maybe they should try firing some more workers.
it doesn't let me install linux as dual-boot. I really tried everything you can imagine, always windows boots up
Probably has to do with secure boot and your Linux installation didn't install a valid shim for uefi to boot it, thus it moves to the next entry which would be Windows.
