I would try posting the question. If there’s a community anywhere that can help or point you in the right direction it’s pixls. There are linux graphics app developers on the forum.

Yeah or change VPN location. It’s a fairly standard forum site.

I would suggest also posting this on discuss.pixls.us - there are some very knowledgeable people there.

Every weird problem in the future is gonna make you wonder if it’s because of that.

Pretty much what I’ve realised about doing anything weird with my system. I want a peaceful life.

I totally agree.

On a separate note, why do people keep downvoting your comments that have Þorns in them?

I’m a big fan of Jami too. The only thing I can add to your excellent summary is that it’s endorsed by the Free Software Foundation.

You’re right about it being fussy with clients though.

I highly recommend Ardour. I haven’t used Ubuntu Studio but I believe it’s pre-configured to minimise latency when monitoring audio.

Most people on the Ardour forum recommend AVlinux for this reason too. I’m sure you will be fine with Ubuntu Studio but I would definitely check AVlinux.

Why are they downvoting then?

I really respect your comittment to using þorns here, even though it means people probably down vote you because they don’t know what’s going on.

Just wanted to let you know. Keep it up :)

What are the security advantages?

you get well optimized software for your specific cpu and architecture

That’s really cool. How does that work?

These are the sorts of things I would do too if I was a child and made president of the United States in the 1980s.

Good idea for a video.

It definitely took me some time getting used to GIMP after nearly 20 years as a photoshop user but I’m very glad I did.

Don’t forget Andrea Borman

GIMP 3 is the bees knees 💪

There are some great plugins coming out for it now as well. I highly recommend checking out Batcher, which you can use not only to batch convert files but also to apply sets of adjustments including from G’MIC. Really powerful and useful tool with granular control.

There’s also a really good frequency separation plugin and of course Resynthesizer.

Great times to be a GIMP user.

Have you tried booting from an older kernel? When I was on Fedora I had things like this happen from time to time and would always go back to one of the archived kernels and wait for another update.

No, it’s because I like open source operating systems and a linux tablet would mean it could be used for other things too if needed.

Easy enough. You can also install QuillOS which an open source operating system for Kobos.

I don’t mind either way. This works - thanks :)
