In case someone is struggling to install #davinciresolve on an "unsupported" #linux distribution, Michael Horn made a video about installing Resolve using #distrobox a while ago. I followed his excellent guide and adapted it for #manjaro on my #blog: https://amadeuspaulussen.com/blog/2025/install-davinci-resolve-on-manjaro-linux

Better photo quality than with megapixels I find...
And you can even film by reducing the resolution (1024x768)...
I have an old 2011 MacBook Pro I am thinking of installing Manjaro Linux on...
I am basing the choice on this post: http://super-useful-things.com/2022/02/20/linux-and-macbook-guide-2022/
But if you have specific experience with Linux on old MBP computers, feel free to chime in!
(1/10) I haven't even done a proper #introduction yet so here goes.
Hello! I'm RLB. I'm a 22 year old brown bear. I'm a self taught #linux user, #tinkerer and #technician. I do #linuxgaming on Arch, btw.
The distros I've used and/or a bit familiar of using over the past 3 years of being on Linux are #ubuntu, #archlinux, #debian, #fedora, #slackware, #nixos, #gentoo, #opensuse, #alpinelinux, #linuxmint, #manjaro, #endeavouros, #bazzite, and #nobaralinux.
Updating my #Manjaro updated the system's #Python to 3.13, yay!
It broke my #ThonnyIDE which was installed via #pipx, and I'm having rebuild a lot of stuff, not good!
Problem #2: I use #CloudFlare WARP (https://1.1.1.1) to avoid traffic blocking on public wifi spots as I move around a lot with a laptop. On Windows, I just download and install it.
CloudFlare provide APT or YUM packages for #Linux. You're on #Arch (#Manjaro)? Well, I hope you like the terminal!
I am more resourceful than most, for I suspect the majority of current Windows 10 users would be stumped at that point. I happen to know that I can enable the AUR repository for some more software and there is a build script provided there: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cloudflare-warp-bin Note how in the first comment that it won't work until you use the terminal to enable the service.
Regardless, something is amiss, as even when I enable the service and reboot, it's not the same UI as on Windows and doesn't even seem to be the same program. It wants me to sign in to some corporate web interface and not just enable secure DNS tunneling via a simple toggle. Here, I am at a loss.
I have installed Linux 5 times now, but now I need to change to another distro that uses APT or YUM, but *also* has working hibernate!
Now, the current state of obtaining third-party software in #Linux is much like the warring states of feudal Japan with no clear Nobunaga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oda_Nobunaga) yet to unite the Linux software ecosystem. I don't really have a recommendation here for Manjaro, or #KDE; this is a fundamental problem with the lack of binary stability in Linux software but a lot more consideration should be given to end users who just want to run software and less attention to warring factions trying to be the one true standard (Flatpack etc)
#Kubuntu hibernate doesn't work out of the box, so this is likely more to do with #KDE in general. That said, I did find a "solution", or rather an install option that makes hibernate work as advertised. #Manjaro does give an option for "swap with hibernate" during partitioning. Why was this not exposed in Kubutnu?
Again, my complaint is not that hibernate doesn't work because I didn't RTFM and do the leet hax in the terminal, but that under default options, the hibernate feature is present but does not work when initiated and worse still, does not communicate why nor provide a graphical means of resolving. Even Windows has a GUI for managing the swap file.
If you've had a machine running #Linux for a while and you decide to utilise hibernate at that crucial moment and it doesn't work unless you reinstall your OS or re-partition your drive and rebuild the intramfs / grub, likely requiring a reboot anyway -- why is the feature even presented as available!??
Welcome one and all to the big #Linux BS thread! I get that it's necessary to switch to Linux, I'm imploring you to do so, and I don't want to discourage anyone but I need to document the ways in which Linux is just not ready for 600 Million more users and I don't think it's any technical limitation so much as a lack of design self-awareness.
Case study 1: A basic 1GHz Intel netbook with 4GB RAM. I installed #Manjaro. Keys, touchpad, wifi and screen brightness work, very impressive. I also really like that Manjaro is not dumbed down and I was able to get plenty of information about the hardware.
But hibernate doesn't work. Clicking the button does nothing -- already a design flaw in that it can't even tell me *why* it isn't working. A quick Internet search lets me know that `systemctl hibernate` is the console command for invoking hibernate and should give me an error message. The swapfile size is not big enough, just 512MB for a machine with 4GB of RAM.
Can I resize the swapfile, using `dd` and a number of other `systemctl` commands? Yes! Should I have to? No! If I enable hibernation and it can't hibernate because the swapfile is too small then it should TELL ME and provide a GUI to fix it, and that's without considering that it should have set the swapfile size big enough during installation anyway!
But still, that's not enough. Despite having a hibernate feature, the installation didn't modify `initramfs` & GRUB to handle hibernation! Can I do this manually? Yes! Do / Should I have / want to? Absolutely not!
Now downloading #Kubuntu in hopes that its own features actually work out-of-the-box :|
redoing my #introduction, spring cleaning my profile
i am a total shitposter. i work in infosec (blue team), but don't follow me for good infosec information. just don't.
i like weird people... the communists and anarchists. the black sheep. the loners, outcasts, wallflowers, bizarros, rejects, outsiders, odd ducks, and the eccentric ones.
the broken. the lost. the lonely. the people who look in the mirror and can't see a beautiful person looking back.
the freaks, geeks, weirdos, goths, emos, punks, lovers with aching hearts, poets who don't know it, the elder gods/goddesses/others/cubes, nerds who love assembly, nerds who love obscure CSS, people who used to be carnies, people who want to be carnies, clown school dropouts, quiet librarians, midnight philosophers, chaotic good bartenders, D&D forever-DMs, speedrunners of life, cursed doll collectors, people who unironically love dial-up sounds, cassette tape hoarders, writers of unsent letters, DIY necromancers, time travelers stuck in the wrong timeline, indie game devs with imposter syndrome, hopeless romantics with a cynical streak, travelers of the astral plane, meme historians, collectors of lost media, aesthetic hoarders, souls lost in liminal spaces, thrift store treasure hunters, broken synthesizer enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists who know too much, introverts who overshare online, VHS romantics, late-night train station wanderers, noise music aficionados, digital ghost hunters, hopeless maximalists, cursed artifact restorers, wandering bards, and rogue rouge enthusiasts (people who dabble in makeup with chaotic flair, applying blush with the reckless abandon of a true artist).
And not least, the people who never quite fit in anywhere, but somehow fit in everywhere.
...you know, my people. 
i'm looking for people that are cool with sharing misery most of the time, but do rarely dabble in the dark art of being fun. follow me if that's the case, or you know, don't.
you do you.
i do usually follow active accounts back, but if you don't post original posts... i don't typically follow. give me content plz.

Manjaro 24.2 Yonada released
#Manjaro #distro #linux
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-24-2-yonada-released/171684
I ask the Linux community to support this cause: Proton has been offering native clients for Windows and macOS for their Proton Drive for years - but still none for Linux!
This company claims to be fighting against Big Tech and for privacy, and forgets about the ONLY platform that really guarantees data protection and privacy. And treats Linux very neglectfully. Surely that can't be possible? What about you, Proton? Is everything really consecrated to the mainstream and the god of sales?
The more Linux users in the Proton community get involved, the sooner a native application for Linux will hopefully be available. Please share and spread the word! Thank you, folks!
I wonder why #LibreOffice Writer wants to use +80% of the CPU on #Manjaro when idling. I have a very simple text document open (25 kB), and it makes my laptop sound like a jet engine. Seems like some sort of memory leak issue, and after googling it, it has been around for years in one form or another. No such problems with #OnlyOffice.
Do you know if we can expect an improvement in the Pinephone Pro camera support, such as support by the Linux kernel (v4l2) or an improvement in quality?

Momentan bin ich mit 
Manjaro KDE nicht zufrieden. Lässt sich leider immer noch nicht auf meinem Thinkpad T420s neustarten oder herunterfahren. Funktioniert momentan nur per Terminal. Ich guck zwar noch nach einer Lösung, bin aber auch offen für die Neuinstallation einer anderen Distribution. #manjaro

Recently I had the strangest computer bug ever (#Manjaro #Gnome), when trying to fix a friends notebook. I'm not sure where's the best place to report it.
How I figured out things might have gone (wrong): History:
1. Notebook (#ThinkPad) connected with monitor via HDMI.
2. Notebook lid closed (standby).
3. HDMI removed.
4. Notebook not used for days (emtpy battery -> forced shutdown).
5. Now: no input is received on Gnome desktop (internal and external devices). Mouse is moving though.
TBC
