Tagging @[email protected] as they've asked the same question.

Last night i was failing because of some VS components missing (iirc cl.exe, which was actually not missing at all).

Today, I've reinstalled Windows 10, to get a fresh start and follow wingtk's guide. First of all it failed as "choco install python" (as mentioned in the guide) installs python 3.12, which does not include distutils.

After that I've tried uninstalling python and installing python --version 3.10.11 with choco and got the same error as gvsbuild still defaulted to python 3.12, even after a few reboots.

Not knowing how to clean it up, decided on reinstalling Windows again, and installing python 3.10 only. Half an hour ago the build process failed for some (probably) network related issues ( ).

Currently I've installed a driver for the wireless card instead of using the built in one, and the build process has been stuck at "Opening https://download.gnome.org/sources/pango/1.51/pango-1.51.0.tar.xz ..." for at least the last half hour.

As for msys2, I haven't went that route yet, as I can't quite understand what it is and what it does. I can understand even less how to package a package installed with msys2 using either PyInstaller or nuitka, to have a (hopefully) single file executable, as I'm trying to distribute the app to my students, which are extremely non-technical.

I wish there was something like Wine for Windows.

Yes. For some reason yesterday, while trying to use the demo it just returned a login screen. Strangely, today it just logs in automatically.

Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it's not supported on Linux at all.

That's good to hear. Thank you :)

Manjaro has been absolutely lovely for me as well. The only breaking updates for the past few years were because of the bugdie desktop, but fault seems to be with budgie.

May I ask what are you using now?

You see, one of the goals is to be able to enjoy media in English together. The problem is that she quickly gives up after encountering too many unfamilliar words or constructs.

Thats why I'm looking for an app to help her get a bit more confident.

You're talking about Kate Bush, right?

I've had more breaking updates in Ubuntu LTS releases than arch based ones. Especially when at some point you always find yourself forced to use PPAs.

To me, being "noob unfriendly" is disabling flatpak to push a (semi) proprietary broken mess.

Why not arch?

Where did you find the CPU and RAM utilization data?

Just installed it and there is an option to have a "show original" button.
