take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of “high intelligence” whatever that means.
sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.
video encoding is far from my area of expertise but i can advise
your CPU is fine as long as its getting proper cooling (if it hasnt overheated and auto-shutdown, then it’s ok). Also, 80°F? slightly above comfortable room temperature? you probably misread 80°C, a more reasonable temperature for a CPU at maximum overdrive. Which is fine, CPUs get hot. 90°C is where the problems start. EDIT: 80°C is very hot actually, make sure your fans are working as hard as they can.
Video encoding is just a really complex process that takes its sweet time no matter what, but just in case you can check if handbrake is converting to x264 or x265. x265 is very nicely compressed but takes longer, though its probably doing x264 by default.
check out ffmpeg
(ffmpeg.org) for the technology behind HandBrake that you can use on its own, presumably with more options… if youre willing to read all those docs 😵💫. But when you have the basics down it makes mass-converting videos with shell scripts super powerful.
I switched to linux when i was already a programmer and comfortable with terminal use, so my experience probably wasn’t the same. But the most efficient way to “learn” linux is to just start using it (option 2: doing projects and learning on the way). Get comfy installing packages from the terminal (apt, pacman, whatever) and reading man pages, and everything else will fall into place as you try new things and learn how theyre done. these things take time.
The Arch Wiki wiki.archlinux.org is the greatest thing ever created and will be indispensable no matter what OS you use, though all commands and tips assume the reader uses Arch.
F to a real one always there for me when i was too lazy to torrent.

a cryptocurrency usable as currency? i genuinely dont believe it but i’ll take a gander anyway. it has an Esperanto name so its probably cool
