So there are these guys who install #Arch and use #vim or #emacs and they think they are powerful #Unix gods. One such being is me myself.

I never had to reboot my computer or close the terminal to quit #neovim

But last night, I was using my #FreeBSD machine. I thought I watch a movie so I installed #mpv and upon starting it, I could not quit. The solution was powering off and rebooting my machine. Devastating, isn't it?

So dear Arch users, or #Gentoo users who think they are really geeky geeks and very brave. Give #BSDs a try :)

A first experiment in #gstreamer is quite promising - on the x220 it already makes Showtime (the future Gnome default player) outperform #mpv with 4k@30fps AV1 or VP9 playback - my hope is to get 4k@60fps work smoothly (SDR - bonus for HDR10, but the required shaders might end up being too heavy).

For those interested, you can find the code at gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstream
