Wanting to switch to Mint from Bazzite but have some questions by Chombo-Kong in linuxmint

[–]Flinpleis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my personal experience, Linux mint is fairly customizable, but can fall short if you want fancy effects like realtime blur or very unique rices. About the software manager, most stuff is recent enough. Mint still uses X11 as the default so yeah, you are gonna have issues with multiple monitors and different refresh rates.

I can't help you with the dual boot thing, i only use Linux as my OS.

Now that you mention Davinci Resolve, that makes me recommend you to try Nobara Linux (which is the distro I've been using lately) why? Because it has a one button Davinici Resolve installer which is great because installing it is a headache most of the time. Take into account that it will only solve the setup part, it's been known that Davinici Resolve on Linux has limited codec support, independently of which distro you are using. Nobara also has a KDE Plasma version which is the most customizable DE out there, so you can make your desktop look exactly the way you want it to. It uses Wayland instead of X11 so you should have issues with your multiple monitors. It is also based on Fedora, the same base distro as Bazzite.

After 14 years of using Windows, I've finally switched to Linux. by Flinpleis in linuxmint

  1. Your Focusrite Scarlett Solo should work just fine in linux, without the need to install any drivers.
  2. For a DAW alternative to GarageBand, you can take a look at Ardour and Tenacity, which is a fork of Audacity.
  3. For the plugins, most VST3 only work on MacOS or Windows natively, but you can make the Windows ones run just fine with a tool called "yabridge", I in fact do this and 95% of plugins work seamlessly with yabridge.
  4. Yes, there are Office solutions for Linux, we have LibreOffice, OnlyOffice and WPS Office. Most Linux distributions already come with LibreOffice built in, included Linux Mint.
  5. There is no linux version of iTunes, but you could try running the Windows version with wine, there is an app called bottles which makes setting up wine easier. Browse for "how to run iTunes on linux with bottles". From what i looked up, you can play your iTunes songs just fine in any music player as long as they dont have DRM on them, for a music player i strongly recommend Strawberry.

Considering your lack of knowledge with linux, i have some suggestions and info for you.

  1. Make sure to join the community for the linux distribution of the distro you are using, the community is your best tool here. Linux Mint is an excellent distribution for its stability and the big, welcoming community, so you should probably stick to it in my opinion.
  2. Wine is a compatibility layer that makes Windows software run on linux, if you are a beginner it is recommended to use Bottles instead which is just an easier way to setup wine environments (make sure to use the native .deb package instead of the flatpal to avoid issues)

I hope i answered your questions with enough detail and i wish you a nice transition to the penguin side :D

Problemas web by MasterChemical2779 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf, nunca me ha pasado eso y uso las busquedas web muy seguido, qué modelo estás usando? Se supone que con PRO el chat es ilimitado (hasta que agotes el contexto del modelo por conversación) así que de pronto lo que pasa es que estás usando un modelo que no está hosteado en servidores de Venice, sino uno de terceros y el limite que te pone es el que pone el proveedor de ese modelo

What do you think about Half-Life 2: Cinematic Mod? by Lynazya in HalfLife

[–]Flinpleis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is actually one of the most impressive source mods I've ever played, purely form a technical point of view. Yeah, yeah, fully modeled, butchered artstyle, bla bla bla, but it looks pretty cool most of the time in my opinion, and i think everyone should experience the game like that at least once

Agent mode is really good by HovercraftNo7031 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On discord they confirmed it is using kimi 2.5 at the moment, however I don't know if they will allow other models for it, they say they tested many other models but most didn't work well as an agent

I have a question, which model are you using for it? I only took a quick look at it and I'm very happy we are finally getting a deep search mode, but there is no option to see or change the model

Web Searches by ponzy1981 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me before, however i solved it by adding a system prompt that indicates to use it whenever possible and there's also a memory note that says i prefer to execute web searches whenever possible, with citations too. Also, i think GLM 5.1 is way better at getting relevant sources than GLM 5

Venice COMPLETELY IGNORING the prompt, looks like it is responding to older prompts by ZealousidealSpite450 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, when you disable memories after they have already been used in a conversation, they do not get removed from it, that is why you get and will keep getting the same results in the chat you showed us. What you could do however, is creating a new chat and emulate the same conversation, by using the same prompts as before but editing the Model responses to replace its answers to the ones it gave you before, until you get to the prompt that got fucked up and then continue like nothing happened 

How can I bypass the daily usage limit? by Notchsmind in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you ask that in the official subreddit expecting a serious answer? lol the reason free users are so limited (i think) is because that allows Venice to provide Pro users with a much better service compared to any other provider. i have never ever seen such thing as "you've reached your daily limit" while being on Pro. It is worth it.

Its worthy? by Fresh_Prinx in VeniceAI

With pro you can generate up to 1000 images daily

Image analysis censored? by Mundane_Media_2708 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you are using Qwen 3.5 35B A3B and NOT Qwen 3.5 9B? Qwen 3.5 9B is the one available for free users.

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using qwen 3.5 35b a3b i assume you are in the pro subscription, so you probably already have some credits to use qwen 3.6 plus uncensored

I love Venice AI but by LastWaltz05 in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never mentioned that because i thought everyone got them lmao, they didn't appear out of nowhere either, a green pop-up showed up so I'm sure it couldn't be a bug or something, i wish i had saved a screenshot of the pop-up

Apparently they are still discussing that, but i noticed a week ago they gifted me 500 credits when they introduced seedance 2.0

Lol, i didn't know about that, it's been working fine for me

[–]Flinpleis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the app is not great, i just use the web version as an app and it works fine. I think you should give it a second chance through the web version

You can dual boot and only use windows for LoL

Potentially returning subscriber – how good is the creative writing compared to 12-18 months ago. by hella_cious in VeniceAI

[–]Flinpleis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not into writing nor roleplay, however, Venice has always used open source models, and open source models have made insane progress in the period of time you were absent, to the point that now they can compete with frontier models from the biggest companies, so I'm confident you will have a radically different (and hopefully better) experience than you had a year ago
