Hi, my phone has been aging and I've been considering getting a google pixel to use with Grapheneos. One particular thing about google pixels is the AV1 encode (officially supported with the 10 but people seem to have found apps and workarounds to get it to work on previous versions) which would be really useful for something like a free video editing workflow on davinci on linux. But does grapheneOS support recording/encoding video in AV1, if not officially, by some funky workaround? With a cursory look at how it handles the camera my guess would be no, but it's worth an ask. If it does, it'd be perfect for my needs if it did, but if not, I'll probably just have to stick with stock android.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking to dual boot linux with my new PC build, and Nobara is more or less my frontrunner candidate. I do have some big questions and concerns, however. Of course, I'm not expecting all of these to be a hundred percent perfect, but I am wondering how well all of these work on Nobara, especially for a fairly green linux user (uh, I have a steam deck, that counts?);

-How well are Nvidia GPUs working on Nobara? I know a lot of it is "it just works for me", but for some others it seems to be a fairly significant problem, whether that be graphical glitches, reduced performance, or stuff just not working. Is setup and maintenance easy, how does it compare to AMD gpus, etc? I heard that there are differences depending on whether you're looking at Gnome or KDE, could someone explain this?

-How well does HDR work on Nobara? It seems there's a fairly streamlined process for getting HDR working, but is it simple for a first time user, how often are there issues with universal implementation, and are there cases where it just doesn't work? I would really want HDR to be simple to get working to get the most out of my monitor

-How well do applications like Davinci and Blender work, as well as other parts of a video editing workflow, such as mounting and using a NAS, uploading and transcoding files, etc? I know that Nobara is specifically tinkered to provide much more support for these things compared to other distros, which is great, but I also know it's not bulletproof nor usually as simple as windows. In particular, how big of a problem are getting Nvidia and CUDA cores working, and how big of a drag are the codex issues?

-How is general update stability and being able to recover or rollback? I know that it's no Bazzite with its immutable distro, and I've heard good things for stability, but is it common to encounter issues with every update? Should you have a big problem, how easy is it to roll back to previous versions or similar? And are there any big features or updates in the future to be aware about?

Thank you so much in advance!
