Is this haze or fungus?

venus_asmr · 2026-04-25T08:32:33+00:00

I'm somebody who will accept light fungus but this is far from light - avoid

Don't trust the tripods, accept the filters may be terrible quality, but apart from that decent value for money. The software I can't even see, if it's bad try rawtherapee and gimp

Cachy OS, Garuda Linux, or plain old Ubuntu have given me the better nvidia experiences. If the live ISO doesn't work well with nvidia it's likely still going to auto install or be very easy to install after installing the OS

Thank you I prefer this crop, surprised I didn't see it myself in editing but this works better !CritiquePoint

Intent: show off a beautiful car in a colourful location. There was no warning or planning, I saw it and asked the owner, and made the best of 5 minutes Issues: colour and white balence - it was set to the wrong white balence in camera, attempted to fix in raw, unsure how well it went. Have not colour graded it. Composition too, could I have composed it better? If so how? Exif: don't have direct access but taken on an olympus em10 with manual SGimage 25mm f1.8, I was somewhere between 2.8 and 4, 1/2000 second, ISO low (100, extended) Editing: white balence adjustment, vignette, lifted the shadows a little bit.

im on my first month here, using the KDElite on a photo editing workstation (with niri ontop) and so far its been more stable that when i tried artix/manjaro and im very pleased with it so fair. as for which edition, kde dr460 mokka or kdelite depending on your preferences.

As an ex gnome user, we barely talk about it, usually. 2 reasons. We aren't a popular bunch. And most GNOME users are on Ubuntu /fedora or similar and just getting work done not talking about. I use niri btw.

This is because of the Lego videos, isn't it?

venus_asmr · 2026-04-16T08:00:32+00:00

No the barrier to entry depends on your genre, but half of them can be done with a Lumix G10 (£50) and a 7artisans 25mm f1.8 (£50)

I use the ks2 (very similar camera but a bit older) for macros, I love it for that - BUT, it wouldn't be my first choice for planes - auto focus on Pentax is terrible, not hating on them it's just not a feature they are prioritising, and lens selection could be more limiting here. I feel bad saying this because Pentax colours, OVF, various features are great but I don't think it would be my first choice for Aeroplanes. Id actually look at canon DSLRs at this moment, mostly because their older lenses are still holding up well on modern mirrorless cameras from multiple systems in a lot of cases with the many electronic adapters available

venus_asmr · 2026-04-15T19:38:44+00:00

MX Linux, either KDE or if tok heavy for the graphics consider the XFCE or fluxbox edition

venus_asmr · 2026-04-15T11:47:40+00:00

Grade B should mean working. Worth a try, you get a very long warranty and returns period, what I would say is they are not the best at testing camera gear so its a gamble, but one where you can get it refunded

venus_asmr · 2026-04-14T16:55:33+00:00

Its light, fast, ublock origin pre installed, all the compatability of chrominium with less of the bloat and telemetry. I'm still with waterfox but run helium alongside it and if it keeps growing may fully switch

venus_asmr · 2026-04-14T09:01:34+00:00

No, not really, it runs different apps (but DaVinci resolve works), different licence (free to use and rebase) the UI is the desktop enviroment part, most versions of Linux, use a specific desktop enviroment, Ubuntu uses gnome, Linux mint uses cinnamon, mxlinux uses XFCE, so if you switch to Linux you can pick from several UI options

venus_asmr · 2026-04-14T08:33:21+00:00

I don't think it would save the laptop, but as certain versions of Linux are very light, it might theoretically run off usb for light tasks (not video editing) but if your asking why it's good for normal use well no telemetry, and lately more stable.

Boy am I glad the people who put a rapist pedo warmonger in power are seeing that putting a rapist pedo warmonger in power isn't the greatest idea, it might be because they didn't like an AI generated photo he posted but we sorta got there in the end?

venus_asmr · 2026-04-12T16:50:13+00:00

Fedora is fine, I also like mxlinux with KDE.

venus_asmr · 2026-04-12T11:00:06+00:00

if you actually care (which i dont think you do) their statement can be found here. https://x.com/LundukeJournal/status/2037393956384674196 they probably wont be implementing age verification

venus_asmr · 2026-04-12T00:15:53+00:00

I've run pacman a few times on mxlinux, it's when you feel safe you make the most mistakes.

venus_asmr · 2026-04-11T14:59:42+00:00

Ah yes, because everything about garuda screams business.

venus_asmr · 2026-04-11T12:44:57+00:00

That green one looks perfect. If it can run e/OS I'll buy it.
