Worth noting that the free version of Davinci Resolve doesn't support H.264/H.265 under Linux. You will need to use another format or pay for the full version. ($295)

I've had good luck with the fingerprint scanners in various HP business laptops and fprint. The one on my old Dell laptop was straight-up unsupported though.
This sounds like a plot from fallout.
I was just about to give up on it the other day after using Mint for the last 6 months because I was having weird instability issues. Anytime I would play a game it would freeze within 15 mins. Turns out XMP had somehow gotten turned on in UEFI settings. Must have done it by accident the last time I was in there. Anyways, disabled it and all my issues disappeared. I would have been pissed if I wiped Linux and reinstalled Windows only to still have issues.
They have their uses. In particular they're useful for easily getting applications your system repositories don't have or getting more up to date version of applications. Downsides are certainly the space all the redundant dependencies take up and the sandboxing can be a PITA especially if you have an application that needs to run another application. Overall I think they're the best "third party" package system available but they're not great.
App Images do suck, but I don't think flatpak is much better. It's more of a lesser of two evils situation. Snap isn't even in the conversation.
Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor
I don't even shut my computer down anymore. Just lock it and let the monitors go to sleep. Reboot as necessary for updates. Been doing this since like 2004 without any issues. Currently on Linux Mint.
I have one of these on every TV in my house and they're great!
For anyone who's curious, I went ahead and created a "default" project with the title I normally use already setup on the timeline. That way when I start a new project I can just copy the default template and my title with animations is already there ready to go. Just need to modify the text and it's good. It's not a perfect solution, and certainly wouldn't work for someone who desires to use different or multiple titles per project, but it's good enough for me. Here's what it looks like: https://youtu.be/dlGUT0c46Ts
Nailed it. I didn't even think to check that... I'll have to see if I can find a workaround. Thanks!
Do your friend a favor and install Windows back on his laptop for him.
