<snip> any way,hope that answers your question. <snip> Thanks you have answered and shown at what appears to be your level of usage of Blender. Perhaps i should have realized FFmpeg package would cover FFplay package tools too. I have an idle curiousity as to whether keen graphical users on such as...

<snip> Hmm, ffmpeg, can be used for "simple cuts", plus has a lot of other features that make it useful for many other video editing tasks. I forgot to mention, but if I do need to do any actual graphics, EG : In a animation video, and I need to do some painting, or drawing, image edits, ...

Assuming Gnome desktop is running, it is worth checking latest version of following two Gnome keyring packages are installed and latest version : seahorse, seahorse-daemon. Personally found these buggy in the past, constantly re-asking for password so as already mentioned used the empty password met...

For those using ssds there is not much financial incentive to buy less than about 128G drives so for those who use a small fraction of this in /home best increase / beyond 20G. Other day i made a typo while trying to back up to a spare drive resulting in mistakenly writing to a new folder in /media ...

Hooh boy.

I take it Spock did make it to the end of the OP, more or less.
We can't all achieve that.

Noticed in list of tried browsers Chromium is mentioned but not Chrome ?

Not sure why one wouldn't put 250mb mp3 file onto another rewritable 700mb cd ?

If a solid state drive is used try also every so often :

Not sure will be able to help much directly myself but suggest installing inxi and showing what #inxi -GSC command gives. That is one of commonest requests from our more experienced users and unusually for a new member you have received no response thus far. Are you using default Gnome, which is the...

An intermittent bug my system suffered while recovering from suspend was main reason for no longer using Gnome3. Bug only struck about one in eight times forcing system to reboot but that made work resetting numerous workspaces. Never reported bug because have always assumed suspend is a bit weak on...

So atm i'm using gnome 3, but i'm not sure i like it.... What do you guys use? At risk of alienating those whose help i may need :D have found gnome 3 better designed than gnome 2 style Desktops for a fairly fast consumer desktop box. Would never use it on slower than a dual core 2.5Ghz cpu as thin...

Finally surrendered running Buster on spare box after BSODs with unresponsive cursor on all choices of kernel and rescue modes.
However looking forward to trying again when goes officially stable. Stretch is rock solid on main box (identical hardware).

Someone in the comments section of the OP link YT vid said to switch on "Use hardware acceleration where available" in Chrome settings and this got rid of some minor tearing on my screen. Like Buckley, never really noticed tearing before and i watch a lot of YT. Kernel: 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_6...

I highly doubt that IBM acquiring Red Hat will have any effect at all on Gnome development. Why do you think that would be? After all, IBM says that Red Hat will continue functioning mostly as is. In addition it is not exactly like as if Red Hat fuly controls Gnome development, right? I don't belie...

Gnome may now achieve something nobody thought possible ..get even heavier.

But then when you need to modify the partitions, things become much less easy... Or are you suggesting to reinstall everything each time you want to add or remove a system ? Yes much less easy but Geobeck has made backups, is familiar with GParted and has a live Ubuntu stick to partition discs. No ...

Might be a lot easier to reinstall without using LVM.

Probably irrelevant but worth mentioning there was a recent appstream bug preventing my updating/upgrading Buster.
Web searching led to this blog http://www.suramya.com/blog/2018/08/fix ... et-update/
that fixed the issue.

As a relatively new member and one who appeared to need contrib / non-free to get display resolution correct at onset i automadically selected that option in poll only to discover system jumped vrms hurdle clean. Any loyalty here is more about not wanting to bork atop of what gnome/pebkac already do...

As a regular Gnome user i very much take steve_v's point of needing extensions to restore basic functionality, an upfront hurdle about equivalent to scrambling for proprietary graphics drivers a lot of new arrivals to Debian have to do :? Doesn't take that long to get Gnome 3.28 (Debian Buster) and ...
