pinn VS mpv-build

For dual booting look to PINN - I prefer one OS per card as there is less chance of a card error hitting lots of operating systems / running out of space / deleting the wrong partition.

You should be able to achieve that by using PINN. It's an operating system and boot manager for Raspberry Pis (plus more features that you probably don't need).

You could look at PINN https://github.com/procount/pinn as the author is active on the Pi forum.

PINN is a can be found at https://github.com/procount/pinn

After more reading: The "Raspberry Pi Imager" seem to have something similar called "PINN". Is PINN similar to BerryBoot? https://github.com/procount/pinn/blob/master/README_PINN.md

I would not use NOOBS at all now - its way old and PINN is a better option if you do not use multiple SD cards.

You could have a look at https://github.com/gitbls/sdm for image management or PINN as a NOOBS replacement.

NOOBS is deprecated and no longer maintained or recommended by Raspberry Pi. If you still want a NOOBS like installer then use PINN which is an enhanced fork of NOOBS that is still under active development.

I am thinking of trying out an immutable distro after years of exclusively using Windows, and I am close to settling on Vanilla OS because if its seeming ease of use with Nvidia GPUs. The one single piece of software that I am trying not to compromise on is [mpv](mpv.io). The "release" version on any repo is pretty much ancient by mpv's standards. Is there anybody here who tried to install mpv with the method explained on https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build, and if you were successful, did you do anything other than what is specified on the Readme?

Follow the instructions on the Github page MPV build

You can alternatively build the latest version following instructions on the GitHub repository or maybe use a third-party PPA. I'm not using any Debian / Ubuntu based distro so I cannot recommend one.

So before I go any further I'm currently using the latest version of Manjaro (Arch Linux derived) on my deskop and wanted to know if there was any other linux user here who was able to get mpv.net to work natively on linux. I looked into mpv_build but I don't believe I have enough know how to get that working in the way I want it to. If anyone has any sort of useful information that they can lead me in the direction in that would be greatly appreciated

Exactly, cpmparing by eye shows that you're missing a whole bunch of dependencies, and the mpv automatic fixer-upper for these has been overwhelmed. I cannot find my list of these but it follows https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build section Dependencies.

Compiling ffmpeg with dav1d. You can use https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build/ to build mpv and ffmpeg.

I use mpv-build but it only supports Linux.

You're correct! A better example would be mpv-build which first compiles FFmpeg libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against those.

The build process from here is easier.
