I think this libcudnn is a Nvidia CUDA thing. I guess you have checked that the correct CUDA libs are installed and blended has permission and knows where to look for them?

First start for learning blender Python API would be it’s documentation: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html

In general you can skip anything that you can do on the user interface. But video editing is just a very small part of this and if you don’t have any programming experience yet this could be overkill for what you are looking for.

Perhaps someone had the same problems like you before and implemented something. Maybe searching explicitly for blender video editing automation or Python API will give you some results.

I know that’s not a ready to use solution but blender has a very powerful python API which should allow you to automate everything including doing calls to a AI backend of your choice if needed.

What if the big money makers behind Google are the same fascist, that are backing Trump now? 🤯

Cats are way too smart to border doing our stupid jobs.

Please, someone make a movie out of it!

The difference between AI and Coder:

The Coder fixes it’s errors. AI is just pretending everything would just run fine.

Out of context, but this video showing the amount of freshwater on the planet in perspective was eye opening for me… I see water availability different since.

I feel like the LLM guy should be the psycho doctor doing unethical experience with the clinic patients…

This meme is so fedi!

I thought it stood for “Kool Desktop Environment”

Thanks for being nitpicky, so I didn’t had to.

My best advice is:

Don’t listen too much about what strangers on the Internet say you should do or use.

Non of us has statistics to pull from. Mostly it’s individual experience mixed with personal preferences. All that could be different for someone else. E.g. some people will have problems with Nvidia, other with AMD.

Stick to the basic and add fancy stuff later on.

Don’t pick a distribution because of the Desktop environment. Or because someone said it has a nifty feature. People create new distros all the time just for fun and not because there would be a real reason for it. Looking on the release cycle would probably be the most basic decision you should take. Read about the differences between “rolling release” and “long time support” and decide base on you personal use case.

Have a backup strategy

This is nothing limited to Linux but since you are planing to switch your habits, there is a high possibility you will mess up at some point. Best would be you try to stimulate the worst case and look if you would be able to setup your system in a VM or something.

Don’t be afraid to try things out

Especially when you know that your backup is working. There is not much you can lose. Don’t be afraid of using Arch Linux e.g. just because someone on the Internet said it’s just for pros or something.

So this last one is maybe just the consequences of all the above. But yeah I guess that’s all I could say for now 😅

Maybe it depends on who you ask or where you are. Maybe a US vs EU thing? I never was a professional Musician, but when I started reading about creating/composing music for Video Games I learned that many professional Studios run on Windows because of proprietary standards and software. that is not available for Apple (and Linux)

Really? last time I checked Windows was the dominant player in professional music production but I guess trends can change very quickly.

So there is no real reason preventing Linux to become the domint system at any time.

To be fair this is not a Reddit thing and it can be found in the fediverse too. I can remember some of such situations where a person just posted wrong stuff but in a very confident way. I was able to prove him wrong later but nobody cared anymore.

Wait… there is a different C than C#?

In general I would recommend any Debian derivate for beginners that just don’t care about how their computer is operating. So if this is really just a question regarding eight Fedora or Linux Mint then I would say Linux Mint because it’s a Debian derivative.

That’s simply because chances are high stat you will at least find a Deb package for any proprietary software you might want to use. Making it “easier” for the user.

If you install the system for your friend you’re free to change the Desctop environment to everything you want.

Because usability. If you have the files down down1 down2 downxyz and download and the user only knows that it was “something with down” it’s best to show the user everything matching “down*” and let the user decide what’s the correct one.

Also I’m not sure but wouldn’t your expression show everything if only one character would be entered?

And again I don’t see this solving anything if the entered string actually contains other characters then what’s in the file (D != d)

Yes one could argue that some form of advanced algorithm or even AI could be used to identify such use case like download and Download but this is programming Humor, not linguisic Humor.

down matches down* because * also includes empty string. Also download matches down*

D matches D* but d is not matching D* because D is a different character than d.

Sorry, down is a substring of download I don’t get your point either?
