How can I pick a time in a video, then clip a certain duraton before that with ffmpeg? It looks like -to and -t are mutually exclusive

What would be the best distro to run on a 5000 series amd cpu and 3000 series nividia gpu laptop?

Anything but a slower paced distro like Debian Stable should be good. Even that may be fine, but wouldn't be my first pick.
Arch
OpenSUSE
Fedora
Mint Cinnamon (Edge)

I haven't done that with ffmpeg, kdenlive is probably overkill for what you want but it does work very well.

My question, I know this is verboten - Is there any way, no matter how bad the idea is, to automatically install updates on an Arch system and have the computer reboot after they're applied? I have a computer in the house that only acts as a receiver to my media server, it's shoved behind a TV. I'd rather keep things low maintenance by letting it auto update and risk something breaking rather than having to SSH into it every few days and run them manually.
I thought about trying this with a Cron task under root, but I'm not sure if I can pass a flag to yay for it to automatically accept all package changes.

What's the easiest way to create a wi-fi hotspot? My phone has trouble connecting to the wi-fi at home so I connect to the laptop's hotspot.
I used to use linux-wifi-hotspot but it doesn't work anymore.

Simply open your network settings and there will be an option to set the name and password for the hotspot.

Anything to look out for when selecting a GPU for a linux build aside from it being AMD?

What would you anons do if your WM of choice got updated and turned into something you dislike?

Why was everything merged under /usr instead of the other way around? Doesn't it make more sense to have binaries in /bin

should i install proprietary shit (steam, discord, spotify) thru flatpaks?
