In this article, I’ll show you how to install Linux Mint. As Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) programs gain popularity, users of Linux can now run Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

There is no longer any reason to use Windows. It is entirely up to you whether you need Linux or Windows. It is best to install Windows first if you do not have any drive space however, if you do have space, Linux is also a viable option.

Else, you just chop youtube's webm support on a browser that does not support h264 and you end up with a browser that has the html5 capabilities of internet explorer, if not less.A key piece of advice if you want to dualboot is to install Linux on your system right away, as this is traditionally the best way to do so. What if he is unlucky like me on debian, which does not package chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and relies on libavcodec(-extra), libavformat and libavutil to provide the needed html5 support for chromium and chromium based browsers? Opera can not detect these libs, so it can not use them, so opera on debian is stuck with that poor html5 support.Īnd no, I will not risk breaking my system by installing the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg from ubuntu, let alone the stuff on herecura's repo which is actually a repo for arch linux! In fact, why would someone install/use a lib compiled for a different distro and definitely built with different libs/dependencies?ĭoes the '-ffmpeg-preload-mode=permissive' command line parameter, mentioned on the blog post, work on opera stable? I could try it.įinally, disabling youtube's webm support by installing h264ify will be useful only if opera already has h264 support, which means chromium-codecs-ffmpeg must be installed beforehand. If the user is lucky to use a distro like ubuntu which packages chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, he installs them and opera uses that libffmpeg.so and automatically gets better html5 support. This is what causes problems on sites like twitter, facebook, soundcloud etc and, in turn, complaints from the users. I know that opera relies on its own libffmpeg.so to play html5 stuff like mp3, mpeg4, h264/5, webm, aac, ogg etc and, due to licence reasons, it can not play many popular ones (mp3, h264/5 etc) as seen on.
