![]() To install Pale Moon in Linux, you can use the Pale Moon installer. That could be said about any fork, though. One downside is, that it is a much smaller team then Firefox. It is a fork of an old version of Firefox, but modified and updated, and they forked Gecko and called it Goanna. (As far as I know from what I've read) It also is compatible with way more addons than Seamonkey is. Thankfully, Pale Moon isn't going to be deprecating the XUL based addons. Maybe it was because I thought Firefox wasn't going to go down this route. I don't remember what those reasons were. I know in the past blog post I said I stopped using Pale Moon for "various reasons", well. These days, they (Mozilla) are basically acting like children, putting their fingers in their ears shouting "Na na na na I can't hear you!" at any criticism they get. In the past few years, Mozilla has been removing useful features from Firefox and announcing that it will remove even more, alienating its core userbase in the process. While I like Seamonkey, after googling about the upcoming deprecation of XUL based addons in Firefox (which is a bad decision because it basically makes Firefox a Chrome clone), I noticed that people were saying that Seamonkey will probably follow suit, as they are a much smaller team, and will likely follow whatever bad decision Mozilla ends up making. ![]() Yesterday I blogged about Seamonkey, a community-run project affiliated with Mozilla. It will show up in the menus as "Baka-MPlayer" To install a fully featured GUI for mpv (like VLC has), type this: For more shortcuts, look up the documentation on mpv with: Mpv has a barebones user interface, it has keyboard shortcuts you can use to play and pause the video (spacebar), and to fast forward and rewind you can use the arrow keys. The list of supported sites can be found at: Mpv supports all the video sites youtube-dl does. To find a list of options youtube-dl has, type: That will play a popular YouTube video in an mpv video. To use mpv, simply paste a video URL such as a youtube video, or any other supported site after the 'mpv' command. To upgrade youtube-dl if it ever gets outdated, do this: Once you're all updated and mpv is installed, install youtube-dl. Make sure to look at the programs and libraries that will be updated, and press 'y' once you're confident. $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/mpv-tests -y & sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/xerus-media -y & sudo apt update & sudo apt install mpv & sudo apt dist-upgrade Type this in the terminal (or copy and paste) Change some/ppa to the ppa you want to purge. The dollar sign is not part of the command, it's only to represent that this is a terminal command. If you have messed with your system, purge any other media lib PPAs with: ![]() This tutorial is meant for people who have the default media libraries that came with Ubuntu 16.04 or Linux Mint 18. Please follow my instructions carefully, also, if you have added any other updated media library PPAs, please purge them with ppa-purge before adding these ones. Mpv is already in the Ubuntu 16.04 repository, but I will show you how to install an updated version. This tutorial will show you how to install and use an up to date version of mpv and youtube-dl on Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18.x (18, 18.1, and whatever point release comes after that) mpv is a nice alternative to watching videos in the browser, as you don't have to use flash or a buggy ad-ridden website. It is excellent for watching streaming video when coupled with another piece of software youtube-dl. Mpv is an open source cross platform media player for Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and BSD. Here's the link to it:Īlso, here's the link to the applet that does cause stutter: Update: I found a System Monitor applet which does not cause any (noticeable) stutter. Besides, who wants to play Sonic the Hedgehog with microstutter? Gotta go fast! I like being able to monitor CPU and network usage, because "OCD", but performance is more important to me. My only other solution for you then, is to play your emulators in fullscreen mode. Of course, if you don't have a System Monitor applet, this won't help. The solution is to remove the System Monitor applet if you have one. Then, I remembered listening to a certain Linux podcast where the host had the same issue, I believe he was using the Gnome desktop, but it applies to Cinnamon as well as they are based on the same technology. It made me want to use my Android device (Moto G 2014) for emulation more than my laptop because of how smooth it was. ![]() I noticed for about a year that my emulators (Gens, Kega Fusion, Fceux, Nestopia) etc would stutter while playing and that was incredibly annoying.
