Don't think I necessarily believe things or don't believe them based on one assertion by someone. I am able to hold it in my mind with a certain confidence level attached. Of course that doesn't really answer your question, only kicks it to "how do you form that confidence level?"

Have you considered casting zone of truth?

The relevant comparison between Linux (FOSS in general) and Veganism here is that we're at the stage of acceptance where the ceiling is how many potential allies who would immediately "get it" when presented with the idea. Making people talk about Linux/Veganism more is effective, even if it means being as loud and obnoxious as possible (all publicity is good publicity!)

Yes, creating one Vegan is ten million times more desirable than creating one Linux user, but like most "radical progressive" ideas; I think one does more to reinforce, than steal breath from, the other.

I'm willing to bet the average FOSS advocate is significantly more likely to be Vegan too.

The way they're queuing so close together that their chests are touching makes me very uncomfortable.

It could be that only the installer has issues. If you're dual booting have you tried launching the already installed program from your windows partition?

Otherwise I would try launching the installer from the wine command line to see if it gives you a specific error there.

You can set up a command to transcode into AV1 once a download completes. Would that help?
