I call BS.

Gnome Desktop will be the most familiar UI and workflow for you. Other than that, just take note of your existing software stack, and check to see which will also have Linux builds to install.

Not sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

Correct. They’ll usually just hold it at the front desk. Make sure it’s addressed as with something “Guest : Mr Johnson”

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

You can get a WiFi or LTE trail cam that essentially to works the same. If you get LTE though, you’ll almost certainly need a VPN setup on your network as well to work around CGNAT issues.

And your user pattern doesn’t make my point any less correct or relevant. In fact… Not sure why you even commented in the fashion you chose to.

May want to try installing Waybar. The default one in Sway has issues like this.

You are the minutiae of users.

These types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.

There’s Fontbase, Gnome’s Font Manager, KDE’s Font Viewer and FontForge that are still maintained.

The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK is asking for the moon here. These types of applications you describe are generally packaged with a DE for this very use. I don’t think there’s a real use-case for someone to develop this independent of any DE, honestly. That’s what they’re most useful for.

I get that you’re aiming this at a user base of new folks and all, but I’m super confused to see Nix on there.

This is kind of…Nix’s entire identity, no?

One could also make the argument that this supercedes bootstrap tools that each distro has. Kickstart for example.

I would maybe focus on making helper scripts that do specific things for groups of users, like installing all the steam-* packages for Steam installs and not just steam itself since this is pretty opinionated on how you’re choosing to install things re: native package manager vs Flatpak and such.

On the fucking floor.

Amazing

Tim Walz.

He already tried California for Harris and failed miserably.

Just to help clarify here: what do you think PopOS is going to give you that Fedora will not?

Did you perhaps receive an unattended upgrade to Frigate?

What else is using resources if you stop Frigate for 15m. Give me a general picture of the system resources and CPU as well. It’s Intel, obviously, but what’s the whole system look like?

So just…turn them off.

If you didn’t know, detection runs all the time for anything of this sort unless you have what we call “predetection filters”.

If you don’t have predetection on video, EVERYTHING gets evaluated. So you pare down what is to be detected by certain, faster events.

Motion detection is probably the most basic because it’s done very quickly in software, and almost certainly by ffmpeg, costing very little in system resources.

If your machine is struggling with however many feeds you have, do this:

1. Reduce the frame rate each camera sends to the minimum acceptable level
2. Set image compression to the minimum acceptable level, and whatever your hardware is fastest at (read: not RAW anything)
3. Set a motion filter to only run model detection AFTER motion detection

That should sort you out.

Wuh oh

It’s not for long term anything at all, it’s just running a live distro to poke around.

This is why I asked my second question: what kind of things are you looking to check out or compare? That’s helpful in pointing you in the right direction.

If you’re unfamiliar, there is literally almost zero difference between distros aside from very tiny customizations and the underlying package management system.

You won’t find some distro with massive performance gains for any average task. You also won’t find a distro with some optimization that is special that can’t also be applied to any other distro.

So if you find something you like about one distro, you just put that on whatever you’re running (unless you’re talking about package mgmt). Easy Peasy.

Ventoy or LiveUSB if you just want to poke around. There honestly isn’t much difference between all distros anymore aside from package management, and that is somewhat being a bit pushed aside due to portable package distribution.

What exactly are you hoping to find or test?
