I read posts in my Mastodon flow that a new powerful Apple Mac mini is coming. I have a macMini from 2014, now too old for macOS updates and stored for any back-up need for a while (potential new use case tbd). It has been a good machine. I'm sure the new macMinis are very good both hw and sw. But I've for time being lost interest in new Apple products and is satisfied with Linux as my daily driver. #linux #apple #opensource #macmini
I compare version of yt-dlp software between Linux distributions:
Debian 12.7: 2023.03.04
LMDE 6: 2023.07.06
Mint 22: 2024.04.09
LMDE has Debian 12.1 as base. For all I know, LMDE use Debian Stable release, like Debian itself.
I am surprised that LMDE has a newer version than Debian. All distributions were up to date when I compared today.
Can you explain?
How do you calibrate your monitor on Linux?
I use DisplayCAL, a GUI (and more) based on Argyll. And I use X11. Wayland appears troublesome for color management:
From Argyll I read:
"As a consequence there is little prospect of ArgyllCMS being able to support display calibration and profiling for Wayland.
So my current advice for people wanting to use a color managed display on Linux is to stick to X11."
