Yay, another one.
Seriously, why do we need 100+ different audio players?
Because the previous one was old and not very well suited for the modern GNOME design. Also the new one has a neat visualizer!
Don’t worry, COSMIC will make (or probably already has made) one too.
That’s neat but can we fix the issue wear gnome crashes with full VRAM? KDE doesn’t. Same set up
Have you submitted a bug report?
I want to but don’t know how or what commands to run to see what the issue exactly is. But I’ve tested on my 1650 and my Rx 5500. If you have 4GB of VRAM and try to game gnome does not like that. On KDE it will slow to a crawl but won’t crash.
Same exact thing here.
Just submit a bug report saying that the DE crashes when you exceed your VRAM limit. If they need more info, they’ll tell you how to get it.
I think this is a general Linux problem. My laptop hard reboots, although it hasn’t since I massively upped the swap.
This is different. I’m talking about video memory. But yeah systemd oomd is shite. It works sometimes, when it does it takes a while of waiting before it does anything
Ah yeah I misread.
I think you may be talking about regular RAM? Vram doesn’t swap afaik.
vlc is always one of the first things I install on any machine of any OS. Who even uses the built in media player?
Imho, mpv is better. It has better support for AV1, is faster, and has no problems with audio, but VLC has a better interface with more options. I made the transition from VLC to MPV a few months ago and don’t regret it.
Can we stop using completely ambiguous and ungooglable names for software? Granted, Teams is still the worst offender.
So their video player should be named “Nits”.
I’m sure it’s very nice but tying an audio player app, or a text editor, an rss reader, or any other such tool to one specific desktop environment is an unbearably stupid idea and makes me think that both Gnome and KDE have made a seriously wrong turn somewhere.
It’s not tied to Gnome, you can install it wherever you want. https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.Decibels
I was annoyed that Gnome didn’t have a very basic “sound file player”, everything polished wanted to be something more, like support for music libraries, etc. I downloaded a single wav file, I want to listen what’s in it, there was no perfect app for that.

[Y/n]:That’s a lot of megabytes for a simple audio player.

Finally.
