I don't think MPEG-LA is interested in going after VideoLAN anyhow. My hope is that AV1 can be even better without causing trouble for software developers everywhere.Īs for why ffmpeg's x264/x265 can be freely used by free software media players that distribute their software to users like VLC, it has been suggested that France cares less about software patents than other countries (I don't know how true this is). MPEG-LA made hundreds of millions of dollars developing the standards, after all. Preferably with some hardware acceleration. Given that AV1 was developed quite some time after H.265, I would guess that its main competition is with H.266/VVC now. Do you think I should convert them to AV1, would I reclaim even more disk space? I don't care about patents because both Arch Linux and VLC just ignore their existence and ship all the codecs.As much as I'm excited about AV1, I've not done much with the AV1 encoders/decoders that exist today, so I really don't know if they are more space-efficient. Quoting: mr-victory Quoting: pleasereadthemanualIf you're wondering why H.265/HEVC (and now VVC) never got much adoption compared to its predecessor, this is why.I converted all of my videos to H265 back then with VLC and saved around %80-95 disk space. If you need help and support, specifically for Linux and also Steam Deck gaming, you can try asking in our Forum, Discord, IRC and Telegram. That might end up being a good pick, but right now it's not on the table as it's not released and anyone making their own version of it (like HoloISO and others) are too small to recommend serious use of them. Eventually, Valve will release SteamOS 3 so anyone can download it and install it. Well, Valve are here with the Steam Deck and SteamOS. If you ever decide you "really know Linux now", then you can think about using something else. Valve's own stats show Ubuntu as one of the most popular too and it has been the same since Steam came to Linux.Īs a user of Fedora myself, take it from me if you're in any way new to Linux: just go with Ubuntu. With the Ubuntu LTS (long term support) releases, you also get support for at least 5 years, so you don't have the hassle and potential breakage of major system internal updates for quite a long time. It's one of the most used on desktop by any statistic you can find, which also means troubleshooting it is generally easier too. Ubuntu isn't perfect by a long shot, but it remains as my number 1 choice to suggest to people both new and old to get into Linux and get gaming. Ubuntu is still to this day, the most simple distribution of Linux to install and get gaming. Manjaro has too many problems both technical and management, Arch can and will break things if you don't know exactly what you're doing, Fedora is messy with NVIDIA drivers and SELinux on Fedora is a nuisance and so on. People will (and I expect them to) argue for others, and people are free to, but a lot of people suggest other distributions for the wrong reasons. Without getting bogged down into packaging issues, and just giving you the basics of "this will work just fine" - go and install Ubuntu. There's a lot of articles out there recommending really random and outdated distributions in lists too, so here's the real thing. Linux is still a minefield of many different distributions for people, and it can be very confusing. The thing is: not a lot has changed since my last article. Back in 2020 I pointed out what were the best Linux distributions for gaming, so here's the current state and what you should go for in 2023.
