I just discovered a fix for the crackling audio in DaVinci Resolve!
Whilst I was finishing up this video, apparently someone found a (potential?) fix on the DaVinci Resolve forum.
Note, I haven't tried this out extensively yet, but I recorded a few short clips that were fine:
- Make sure DaVinci Resolve is using PulseAudio ALSA, if its using Pipewire, you'll get no output.
- To fix the crackling, go to Video and Audio I/O settings, and put "Playback Processing Buffer" to 1024, and "Record Buffer Size" to 6.
This increases the latency a bit, but it shouldn't be a big issue for most people.

Now if it only weren't for the mysterious random "Loading Projects" issue. I'm not really sure what causes it considering that on Fedora 39, I don't remember having that issue.

I was sent a picture of myself therefore I comment

[mucookul]

Holy cow he did it, only 3 weeks later too. Keep it up man

[pierreem]

I'm currently at 20 minutes, but fyi, the archinstall script is named in the text you cleared in when you boot in the archinstall iso.

As someone who has experience with dual booting Windows with Linux, Windows making partitions read only is probably because you have fast startup enabled, which sort of hibernates certain parts of the system to make your Windows boot a lot faster (or when you shut down Windows improperly and haven't run chkdsk in Windows or ntfsfix under Linux, it can also make the Windows partition read only). You should disable fast startup feature in Windows to have less issues dual booting.

20:32 it's so funny how small Linux world is, you have picked my config

guess it wasn't a bad idea to share it after all :)

[naimchowdhury]

The only take away from these "linux challenge" youtube videos is that davinci resolve for linux sucks.

[sinnerpiece]

26:45 WINE stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.
The use of the word "emulating" has hurt my Arch Linux user BTW soul and I don't think I will recover from it.

[binja_]

Wow, I wasn't expecting another Linux video so soon. Awesome work.

[AndRei-ycti]

The japanese game didnt launch because you dont have the japanese language fonts installed

[Sawaame]

Unexpected, but highly appreciated. Always love the stuff you make, keep it up Livakivi. 🔥❤

Unexpected as in I wasn't expecting a video

[jklakajackal]

I was really hoping that using arch would be the turning point in the livas linux arc. Anyways, this was a really entertaining series

[tato-chip]

I am a long time linux user.
As long as this X11 to Wayland transition is still going on there will be painpoints.
Wine games using only wayland is still being worked on.
Jetbrains for example only recently introduced wayland experimentally.
No idea what Black magic is doing.

[PixelBrushArt]

Genuinely surprised you’ve got this many issues with your setup. I’ve got a 3090, and stuff literally just worked after I installed Linux Mint.

Really hope whatever issues you were having will someday be resolved!

[Koko-cyff]

You caught me off guard with that Sonic Adventure clip at 8:10. I knew you were one of our people (why I subbed), but damn, you really are one of our people.

[greenteaisdelicious]

I am really REALLY surprised you got a 36 minute video out in 3 weeks. Keep up the good upload schedule👍

[stayblueee]

8:55 LOL I remember this. I literally updated my system just to get immediately kicked to my system's UEFI and I remember just saying "what the fuck." The fix for this was to just boot a live install, mount the EFI partition, and update Grub with the latest version, but it did catch me off guard.

Arch is a great distribution. It is the one that has offered me the most stability on Linux, believe it or not, but I have had the exact same experience as you when it comes to having to put in so much time into it became a little bit of a burden, especially at the beginning. I don't remember where I heard this from, but it's still true to this day: "Linux is good if you don't value your time." Cosmic is super promising, and it has been good enough for me with my development workflow so I've been daily driving it since the alpha release.

Great video as always, Liva.

[fabivs]

Every time I start to feel like I want to try linux again a new video of yours comes out and it reminds me of all the issues and time-waste and I postpone it for another year or two. So thanks for effectively saving my time!

If Windows, Mac OS and Linux do not work, create your own operating system.

[brokenwaivers]

I am very surprised you never tried kde plasma. It's very customizable sometimes the desktop is a bit buggy but all software I've tried in plasma just works. It can also dynamically tile with a kwin script. Kde arch is the year of the Linux desktop for me.
