Converting mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg

Essentially just copy the existing video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business!

The easiest way to "convert" MKV to MP4, is to copy the existing video and audio streams and place them into a new container. This avoids any encoding task and hence no quality will be lost, it is also a fairly quick process and requires very little CPU power. The main factor is disk read/write speed.

With ffmpeg this can be achieved with -c copy. Older examples may use -vcodec copy -acodec copy which does the same thing.

These examples assume ffmpeg is in your PATH. If not just substitute with the full path to your ffmpeg binary.

How to fix a .gitignore that is not working

Sometimes, your .gitignore suddenly stops working as in even though you have added files and folder in it, they are not actually being ignored by git and is still getting tracked.

it might happen due to you have added the .gitignore after you added these files(That are not being ignored) to the repo.

it happens because, the files are already added to the repo before it could be ignored as .gitignore was created after the actual files in the repo.

How to set up EndeavourOS for gaming on Linux.

EndeavourOS

EndeavourOS styles itself as Terminal-centric Arch based Linux distribution, which means that you will be expected to use the Terminal for installation of everything from drivers, software, and kernels.

Step 1. Update The System.

Since EndeavourOS is classed as a rolling release distribution, this does mean that your system will be frequently updated, and from a gaming perspective, this will give you access to drivers and bug fixes faster than other distributions such as Ubuntu.
