Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

    Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

    You just need a program that actually supports the hardware video decoder. I've played 30-40mbps bluray rips on a Raspberry Pi 1B without any issues in kodi. The video played smoothly with no frame drops. The user interface was very sluggish though.

    The GPU and video acceleration on the Pi is weird, so software has to be built specifically for it.

    If only it were open

    I guess we can't have a non proprietary open Linux computer

    Actually, Kodi did work well, yes.

    It's just that I really dislike Kodi for the purposes I wanted to use the Pi for 😅

    Even the YouTube made for it worked (although the interface is... Well, it's an interface).

    It's still a plan D, in case can't get anything else to work
