Youtube comments of (@DistroTube).

  1. I've given up fighting all of the "investment" bots. On every video, I get one of these scam posts telling people to contact him on telegram or whatsapp to make money. And then it immediately gets like 30 replies, all of them claiming that the "investment" is totally legit and that they made money with the original poster. Google is a trillion dollar company, yet can't create a decent spam filter.

  2. I just spent a few minutes deleting about 30 spam posts from a bot with a DT avatar and and a whatapp number as the username. Guys, I will never ask you to meet me anywhere online...and definitely not on proprietary garbage like whatsapp. Don't fall for the obvious scam bots.

  3. Deepin is free and open source software. I'm only pointing this out because there will be a bunch of crazy anti-Chinese comments. These are just people spouting nonsense based on prejudice. Deepin is free and open source software.

  5. He starts the video with Dracula, my favorite. But he begins with "Dracula only gets 5 out of 10 for aesthetics." What? Thumbs down. Unsubbed. Un-friended on social media. You will not get a Christmas card from me this year! :D

  6. That should be number one!

  8. ODYSEE IS NOT OWNED BY GOOGLE Some of you may have done some searches on the web and realized that Google bought a company called "Odysee" seven years ago, along with the Odysee.com name that THAT company also owned. That company was quickly dismantled and hasn't existed since 2015. The domain odysee.com then became available again and a couple of years ago, the LBRY company bought the domain and created Odysee.com. Google has absolutely nothing to do with LBRY or the Odysee site.
    527
  9. And this video was immediately DEMONETIZED by YouTube. I guess the mere mention of things like Tor or Kali trigger the YouTube algorithms. This is why I'm loving LBRY more every day!

  18. 5:40 "If you have a few years to spare, you could try Vim. Or if you have no life at all, you could try Emacs..." I feel like I've been violated! :D

  19. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

  21. So, in full disclosure... A couple of hours ago, Streamlabs pinned a tweet stating that they would stop using OBS in the name of their fork: https://twitter.com/streamlabs As far as their apology, I'll let you guys decide on the sincerity of it. P.S. You guys are AMAZING for your support in OBS. I noticed we already have had dozens of people donate on their Patreon. That's what's great about this community!

  22. You have three options to exit Vim: (1) Unplug the computer. (2) Turn off the main breaker to your house. (3) Buy that new computer you've been wanting.
    179
  23. Fair Use gets soooo many channels in trouble. It's the reason I rarely include video that I don't own in my videos, and I never include music that's not mine unless it's CC. It's just not worth the headache of constantly having my videos demonetized due to background music.
    176
  24. AHHHH! Just opened Kdenlive and clicked Render....then "More Options" and see "Custom Quality" is set to 3% for me as well. Why would they do that by default? And why hide that in "more options"? Anyway...at least I know the problem now. But it was fun using Blender for the last three videos, which was a nice refresher course. So I guess there is a silver lining. :D
    176
  25. Yep. That is definitely the problem. That's me not looking at the handbook while doing stuff. Good catch. EDIT: I'll fix that in case I do a future video with that VM.
    171
  26. I use the terminal. And I'm retarded. Coincidence?

  28. Guys, facts aren't debatable. MS Edge is proprietary software. Yes, it's based on open source Chromium. And I know this confusing, similar to Vivaldi being proprietary software even though it uses the open source Chromium engine. Heck, similar to Chrome being proprietary even though it uses a lot the same open source tech in Chromium. The Chromium engine is open source but the stuff those browsers build on top of the Chromium engine is not open source. And just for everyone's benefit here, I took the time to download the latest MS Edge for Windows (3.6GB). I searched for the license (or terms, in this case). Here are the terms: https://pastebin.com/zYMREnVx It's definitely in no way compatible with the open source definition or the free software definition. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that MS Edge is "evil" or you are bad person for using it. But we definitely don't want to spread misinformation here. It's one hundred and ten percent "proprietary software." Just like with you guys bombarding me with "Vivaldi is open source" when it wasn't...these things are not hard to check. You can find out in seconds whether a piece of software is licensed under a FOSS license or if it's proprietary. For example: https://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+edge (Google clearly states the license) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge (Wikipedia clearly states the license) Can Google and Wikipedia be wrong? They can. And if you strongly suspect they might be, just download the source code like I did.
    165
  29. I think we should 1v1. Loser must uninstall Gentoo and switch to an Arch-based distro!
    162
  30. Spotted the Arch user! :D
    157
  31. You would think Windows would tell me what "Windows S" is and why is it set by default. Another fail by Microsoft.
    157
  32. NICE! My one complaint about the installer has already been solved! :D A better UI design might place that checkbox ABOVE the entry fields rather than below it. Because obviously, I hadn't read down that far to see the warning when I get to the password entry. But....depending on how much work would be involved to make that change, it might not be worth it.
    148
  33. You deserve a pin! :D

  34. Teacher: Hey, class. I need you to install on your personal computers this piece of software that will have root privileges and can therefore access everything on your machine. Students all think to themselves "Stallman was right!"

  38. Oh, Linus talking about Linux has its upsides. I remember him mentioning Manjaro on a video a year or so ago, and the Manjaro team said that their ISO was downloaded more than million times in the months following that.
    119
  39. The Arch Wiki and the Gentoo Wiki are my go-to sources for support...doesn't matter what distro I'm running.

    106
  45. I like memes. btw.
    105
  46. NOTE: While this video took me quite awhile to make (a few hours), I rushed through much of the 'archiso'. A few reasons why my final ISO didn't look quite right were: (1) I didn't add any systemd services to airootfs/etc/systemd which meant my display manager (sddm) didn't start automatically. (2) The scripts that I put in airootfs/etc/skel/.local/bin need to have their permissions set in the profiledef, just like we did for the shadow/gshadow files. I'll have these errors (and more) fixed by the time we add Calamares to the 'archiso', assuming people are interested in that video. Hope this helps you guys that want to go ISO building!
    104
  47. Yes, I missed the 'liveinst' instructions in the terminal. But I think many if not most users would miss this, because why would I open a terminal and expect to find instructions on how to launch a GRAPHICAL installer? I wouldn't. The real problem is there are no instructions referring to 'liveinst' anywhere on the Fedora website. I don't think anyone would look for instructions on launching a GUI app in a terminal. I mentioned that this distro seems more like an automated spin with vanilla i3 thrown on top of Fedora. If this distro has any real devs though, they need to seriously add some documentation. And they need to add an easier to find launcher for the installer, or simply have the installer autostart in the live environment. Or create a simple welcome application that autostarts and points to the docs and the installer.

  48. Richard would have a heart attack if I did that.

  51. NOTE: I spent a few hours after this video fixing some of the obvious errors that can be seen on this video, such as the "choose default shell" statement which now works as expected, and the pacman hooks now creates the /etc/pacman.d/hooks directory is it doesn't exist. BUGS TO BE AWARE OF: + Make sure to update your system with pacman before running the script. (sudo pacman -Syu) + If script says you don't have permission to run it, then the dtos directory is probably owned by root rather than your USER (you can check with ls -l ). sudo chown $USER:$USER dtos/ + sddm is installed for a login manager, if needed. But the script does NOT enable sddm or disable your current login manager. You have to do that yourself! + Complains about the fish config the first time you open the terminal. Only happens the first time opening terminal after installation. + Doom Emacs with my config does not immediately work unless you: killall emacs && /usr/bin./emacs --daemon & + On ArcoLinux Dwm, one user reported the script breaks when it tries to add keyserver to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf. Delete the ubuntu keyservers from gpg.conf if they already exist, then re-rerun script. (NOW FIXED) NOW FIXED: + Just fixed an error when copying the pacman hooks. It was missing the necessary sudo privileges. + Also made adjustments to the dialog colors because it looked bad on base Arch installs. Hopefully the colors now are readable on most terminals. + Hopefully, the bug on Arco Linux where script fails at adding keyservers is now fixed. More to be added here.

  52. Jay, I'd just like to interject for a moment. In that Tweet, what you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX...
    98
  53. NOTE: I have several comments being "Held For Review" because apparently YouTube automatically flags the comment "Nice Rack!" :D
    98
  54. You have a point. But a good portion of my vids is me running through the installation. Doing the install in a VM certainly makes it easier to record it on video. Checking them out on Live USB keys is an option if I don't want to bother showing the install process. Of course, just installing them on physical hardware would be the best way to review them. I think it's time I invest in something like an Icy Dock and a few extra SSDs once I have the funds.

  55. Brendan Eich wasn't "just" the CEO for 11 days. He was a part of Mozilla from the beginning. He actually was the founder of Mozilla, as well as the creator of Javascript. And Mozilla Fiirefox was actually the most popular browser on the planet for a brief time. The man was part of something really special. Now....he's trying to duplicate that with Brave. And I think he's doing quite well in that regard.
    97
  56. It doesn't install 60 gigs of stuff. It needs 60G for the weird partition scheme it uses (6 different partitions).

  57. I always thumbs up "BUTTHURT HATER" in all caps. Thanks!
    95
  58. I want to share with you a story of why I'm a big fan of Bryan Lunduke and why I hate this idea of locking up content. Many, many years ago I watched one of the old episodes of the Linux Action Show. On that episode, Mr. Lunduke showed the viewers a cool tiling window manager called "xmonad". He made it seem not so scary for a relatively novice Linux user like myself at the time. So I installed xmonad right after watching that. Spent hours trying to configure it but loved every minute of it. Have loved xmonad ever since then. Had that episode of the Linux Action Show been locked away behind a paywall, I might not have discovered that podcast or Mr. Lunduke or the xmonad tiling window manager. Just wanted to share that story.

  59. Unfortunately, all of us have had to deal with these kinds of issues where you get false strikes against your channel or sometimes individual videos. And it's frustrating because you can't talk to a real person and most of the time the response you get doesn't give any real information at all.
    88
  60. Yea, grab my configs from my GitLab. Xmonad: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.xmonad Xmobar/trayer: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.config/xmobar Scripts I use in xmobar: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.local/bin Wallpapers: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers Shell Color Scripts: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/shell-color-scripts

  61. That does explain some things.
    86
  62. 4. Seriously, do you have death wish!
    86
  63. Awesome. While it certainly differs from other browsers, I have to admit that this new tab functionality makes a lot of sense. I think I'll end up liking it. :D
    84
  64. Vivaldi is proprietary software. You don't know what proprietary software is doing because you can't audit the code. That being said...there's the door. This channel will always champion FREE AND OPEN SOURCE software.
    82
  65. FreeBSD with Xmonad and Emacs? Hmmm....

  66. Hi, my name is DT, and I'm an addict...

  69. You hardly notice it honestly.
    79
  70. Lies! Windows would still be booting after last night's update.

  71. Yea, I misspoke. Obviously, I meant Google but the mind thinks one thing and the body says something else.
    77
  72. Style > performance.
    75
  73. Twitter has infected the "real" world.
    74
  74. Editing org documents in Vim? There are some boundaries that should never be crossed. :D
    74
  75. NOTE: I've fixed the issue with the dmenu script that sets our background (dm-setbg) for those installing from here on. I've also changed all the Xmonad keybindings that launch the various Emacs programs to use SUPER+e followed by another key (rather than CTRL+e which VirtualBox uses).
    74
  76. This is a kinder, gentler DT that is looking out for the noob as much as the command line elitist.
    74
  77. Live streams are nice because you can just hit "stream" when you have a little time, without the hassle of editing audio and video, rendering the video, uploading the video, etc. Ain't nobody got time for that!
    73
  78. For Odysee creators, be sure to go into your settings and add you banking information so that your viewers can tip you in your local currency if they wish. ;)
    72
  79. I think horrible audio is a must when getting started. LOL.
    70
  80. Just a quick note. Riot (the Matrix chat client) announced today that they will changing their name, due in part to the current political climate, but also due to trademark issues. I know a lot of you guys are using Riot (I did a video on it not long ago). They haven't announced the new name yet, but be aware that it's coming. https://blog.riot.im/the-world-is-changing/
    70
  81. Actually, the default i3 motion keybindings are set to " j k l ; " which is just absolutely ridiculous. For vim users or those who have used other tilers, that is EXTREMELY frustrating. I hit L to go right and instead I go up? Why, i3 devs...why?! And so many people have complained about them shifting the motion keys back over one spot to the proper Vim keys, but they won't do it and say they will never do it because their keybindings make more sense. Not on the planet that I live on.
    69
  82. Not sure I have enough drive space for all that video. :D
    69
  83. These are always fun to make. Let's me play a bit more with audio and video editing techniques that I usually don't play with.
    68
  84. You could run Steam inside of Emacs if you really wanted to. (I don't recommend this!)

  88. UPDATE: The Manjaro team recently published this statement: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/about-freeoffice-its-not-being-installed-by-default/97297 To try and make this more visible even though it has been posted about a lot already: Manjaro will not be installing FreeOffice by default. This isn't happening. The RC5 and RC6 installer images included FreeOffice so it could be tested. Based on that feedback, Softmaker are making changes to the free edition of their office suite. This benefits all users of the free edition. The final 18.1.0 images, depending on the edition and choices of the edition maintainer, will either: * Allow you to select which office software suite you would like to install * Not include FreeOffice This is made possible by improvements to Calamares as it will now allow for different package selections on install. Calamares is used by a number of different distributions so this change benefits all those distributions. So to summarise: this whole process is helping a company support Linux as a platform, brings more choice to Manjaro, and helps a wide range of other Linux distributions.
    65
  89. It's similar but different. Pipes pass data as standard input, while xargs passes data as a command argument. So pipes only work with commands that accept standard input. Xargs only works with commands that accept arguments.
    65
  90. Thanks. Exactly what I was going for. ;)
    65
  91. Yea, I'm not crazy about that.
    64
  92. Understandable mistake. I'm a leg man, myself.
    64
  93. Or maybe YOU are becoming more "leet"? :D
    63

    62
  96. Ask your mom!

  97. I think a lot of Windows 10 users just won't upgrade due to the hardware requirements. The same thing happened with Vista. The requirements were so much more than XP that most XP users couldn't upgrade. Of course, a lot of those XP users found Ubuntu and other Linux distros. Maybe we will see that again?

    53
  117. DT, the joykill!
    53
  118. Joplin has been around awhile but it doesn't get that much attention. I think the Linux crowd is so busy trying to get proprietary solutions like Evernote to port their software, that they forget that we have some awesome FOSS solutions.
    52
  119. You are correct, that is an Ubuntu dev. But hey, if Canonical can get Office working on Windows, that solves a big hurdle for a lot of people wanting to make the switch from Windows to Linux. And yes, obviously, you'd need a license.
    52
  120. I'll definitely keep you guys updated. But I can't use this "exclusively for a few days". I have to record and edit videos! And I need my production workstation for that. But in a month or two, I'll do an update video on the pinebook.
    52
  121. Here's an article that explains things well: https://www.2daygeek.com/install-xfce-mate-kde-gnome-cinnamon-desktop-environment-on-freebsd/ It covers some of the config files you need to tweak.

  125. You are only a "script kiddie" if you edit your .bashrc and then tell people on the Internet that you are "software engineer". ;)
    46
  126. True.
    46
  127. I had better not. Might get me demonetized.
    46
  128. Ah yes. No doubt alot of the Mac fans will point to the Adobe suite of software as the big selling point for Mac.
    46
  129. I thought about attempting a Linus accent but I can't talk that fast or high-pitched. Opportunity missed.
    46
  130. Awesome! (no pun intended)
    45
  131. Where was "unstable" on your list? :D
    45
  132. Knowing Emacs, it wouldn't surprise me if there is a port of Doom (the game) for Emacs.
    45
  133. Well, I guess you could say I'm doing this full time. More out of necessity at the moment. I may get back to working a regular job once the world returns to normal, but that might be awhile yet. As I stated on the video, I was more fortunate during this pandemic than most of my colleagues because most of them don't have any vacation time to use and don't have a second job like YouTube. It's a sad situation especially given that the company that I was working for may not survive the pandemic.
    45
  134. Part of the problem is that the Video Sequencer part of Blender isn't really the main focus of the Blender team. The slow render time for the videos has always been an issue and I'm not sure if anyone is really attempting to address that, which is a shame. Otherwise, I think it would be the go-to FOSS video editor for many people.
    45
  135. I have two versions of flameshot on my system, an appimage and the package from the Arch repos. The appimage was messed up, which is why I switched to the standard package, but I forgot to re-record the clip with the region select. Oops. For those wondering what Tux is talking about, all of the circles surrounding the rectangle selection should have displayed icons. Those icons let you do things to edit the image. Apparently the appimage was having trouble displaying those icons.
    44
  136. Underrated comment.
    44
  137. Just off the top of my head, copying and pasting (yanking and putting, that is) between documents is easier is they are in the same vim instance.
    44
  138. It's been a horrible week. But today seemed almost normal.
    44
  139. Shortly after recording this, I plunged headfirst into that bag of Lay's. I should know better than to buy the big Family Size bags of chips.
    44
  140. But XMonad is written in glorious Haskell and Dwm is written in a peasant language (C). <ducks for cover> :D
    44
  141. And while we are playing this game: fc-list -f "%{file}\n" Of course, I wanted to use both awk and sed in this video to expose potential new users to those tools.
    43
  142. Glad my pain provided someone some entertainment.
    43
  143. Now you can't "install" my configs. You need to install the programs needed, mainly: xmonad, xmonad-contrib, xmobar. Then go to my dotfiles. Git clone the dotfiles repo and get these directories: HOME/.xmonad HOME/.config/xmobar My config expects alacritty and dmenu to be installed. If you use another terminal, edit the myTerminal variable in my xmonad.hs and recompile Xmonad (xmonad --recompile). My configs expect certain fonts to be installed too. UbuntuMono Nerd Font, SauceCodePro Nerd Font, Awesome Fonts (for xmobar icons). You'll have to install some stuff.

  145. Since so many people are asking about the reported CPU temp on Qtile's panel widget, I am pinning the following message: "The Threadripper CPU I have is known for displaying high temps. It has like a 27 degree offset so that's why the ridiculously high numbers. If I run sensors (lm_sensors) and check the temps, the Tdie temp is actually 39.5C. I've known about the weird temp readings and have contemplated just removing the temp widget from Qtile, but I leave it there for others to use."

  146. To be fair, Clippy was the best part of Windows.
    41
  147. No, it only works on systemd and it's the only init system that I will be worrying about supporting, since eventually this will be made into a proper ISO based on Arch with systemd.
    41
  148. Can't answer that one. I'm not bald. ;)

  149. Awesome. Keep up the great work!

  151. The CLI appimage installer has a search function: app search "whatever" It returns a list of matches including a "target" for them so you can: app install "target"
    39
  152. Can't wait for the updated video from Brodie six months from now: "So my file manager is Emacs, and my web browser is Emacs, and for my email client...Emacs...and my window manager is also Emacs, and my operating system..." :D
    39
  153. Yea, I hope they weren't working on anything critical.
    38
  154. Arch can be a bad trip for some people!
    38
  155. I didn't imply that "usr" stood for user. I know what it stands for, even have a video about the top level directories in Linux. But when referring to that particular directory, many people (me included) call it "user" for convenience.
    38
  156. GNOME meets The Ring? :D
    38
  157. lol
    38
  158. Not a horrible idea. I might consider that at some point.
    38
  159. Yes, also.....broot. Another Rust program that I have talked about on video.
    37
  160. As "Linux" users, I'm pretty sure that we are all already on a watchlist.
    37
  161.  @cybernit3  > Exactly, not sure why DT didn't mention Lunduke for figuring out who was behind it. One thing that most people don't realize about video content (and audio content, for that matter) is they are not typically recorded the same day that they are published. ;)
    37
  162. Let those creators know that you'd like to see them sync their videos to LBRY. Let them know that they will get paid for it too. ;)
    37
  163. ^^ This guy gets it.
    37
  164. Oh...I thought the kid was throwing up a gang sign. :D
    37
  165. Oh yes. I've put in a bit of work on that in the last few days.
    37
  166. Agreed. I was a little bummed that their shortcuts use Ctrl/Alt. My window managers will not like that. And Emacs will not like that.
    36
  167. Any camera should work. It's not the camera that is the problem but the capture card that the camera plugs into. Anyway, I use a Panasonic G7 camera and a Elgato Cam Link for capture. My keyboard is a ZSA Moonlander (which has RGB lighting) and it works just fine in Linux. Kensington Expert trackball mouse. Some cheap HP printer. Mackie ProFX12 audio mixer. That's about it for peripherals.
    36
  168. Installed emacs just to uninstall it. And then you called it "just a text editor." I'm pretty sure that you are no longer on Richard's Christmas card list. :D
    36
  169. Yea, got my wires crossed there. Meant to say Slackware, not Red Hat.
    36
  170. Dear Lord, I just checked out this Webdriver Torso channel. Wow.
    35
  171. There's nothing controversial about that one, Fr.

  174. Don't let a few less-than-friendly blowhards skew your perception of the Linux community. There are millions of great people in Linux. It would suck for you to miss out on the opportunity to get to know and befriend some of these people because of a couple of jackasses that don't know how to act.
    35
  175. I'd have to DuckDuckGo that.
    35
  176. lol
    35
  177. Haha! Not triggered. It's just a recurring topic that comes up every few months, especially on Reddit, although I did catch your video on the topic. I'm sure you saw the massive thread on r/linux a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure it was probably the inspiration for your video as well as mine, and maybe others too. I used to see this topic come up on the various Linux sub-reddits and on twitter, like every 6 months or so. Now, it seems the topic comes up with greater frequency. That's probably a good sign though. It probably means the Linux community is growing, and also that there is more Linux video content out there. And that definitely makes me happy. Take care, Matt. P.S. Hey, man. I've been meaning to contact you to see if you wanted to do a collab sometime. I'm not sure if you have my email, but if not, just hit me up on Mastodon.
    34
  178. I had to force myself not to say "and 4 Gigs of my 64 Gigs of RAM." First World Problems! :D
    34
  179. I actually couldn't use my ErgoDox or Moonlander in this video. They come with a blank Win/Super key cap. And I replaced the blank cap with a tux. :D
    34
  180. Dmenu/rofi are much more efficient, but the kind of people that would use dmenu/rofi and write their own scripts for them...those kinds of people are probably not running GNOME. ;)
    34
  181. Congratulations on this fantastic release!
    34
  182. Thanks! And awesome work on this distro! :D

  185. Still have a little work to do. You might notice that I have two small apple trees that are leaning badly now. The wind gave them a permanent lean. I need to straighten them out.
    32
  186. I agree. But many packages in the AUR are not free and open source. Most distros don't want proprietary software in their main repos.
    32
  187. Not sure about that. I never know what vids I'm going to make. :D
    32
  188. Thanks! And Heppy New Year.
    32

  196. At least you're being asked to run something reasonable. I've got a couple of viewers that keep pestering about friggin' ratpoison.
    31
  197. Great. Now I have to change all my passwords....AGAIN! :(
    30
  198. Why aren't you watching this on LBRY? https://lbry.tv/@DistroTube:2/your-software-is-spying-on-you:e
    30
  199. I see you are using vifm. I've switched over to vifm as well. A great file manager. There are even a couple of hacks that will get you icons in vifm similar to ranger, and a hack that will get w3m image previews to work.
    30
  200. I might do a video on this if people are interested. I gotta be honest though, setting up a Mastodon server isn't the easiest thing to do, and I wouldn't want the average Joe to think that this is something that he should do. For most people, it's probably best to just find an existing instance to join.

  204. Thanks for sharing.
    30
  205. It's on my "to do" list.
    29
  206. Yea, when this story first came out, I was actually surprised....that people were surprised.
    29
  207. Emacs vs Vim. I can see some mass banning as a result of that one. :D
    29
  208. Should be in Debian by 2030. :D
    29
  209. Ah, good ole lightweight Windows. It's the anti-bloat operating system. ;)
    29
  210. Move over, GNU/Linux. Here comes HURD/Emacs!
    29
  211. Hey, I did a 720lb leg press earlier in the week. I deserve a few days off from leg day.

  214. As a BSD user, I'm pretty sure that you're on the FBI's most wanted list. ;)
    28
  215. Since some have asked for an option to simply use xwallpaper to set the wallpaper, my xmonad config and my sxiv key-handler now include options for both xwallpaper and feh.
    28
  216. WARNING: DTOS will not install properly on Manjaro right now due it lagging behind on Xmonad version. Because Manjaro is a couple of weeks behind Arch in updating pacakges, it is still on 0.15 which will fail to compile if running the DTOS installation script. The solution? Don't install DTOS on Manjaro until they move to Xmonad 0.17 in about 2 weeks.
    28
  217. Yea, I misspoke. It's free of cost but not free as in freedom. But honestly, there's no reason to move off of audacity...not yet.
    28
  218. Not broken. Just not online at the moment. I moved to a new server and haven't installed gemini on it yet. Spent today just getting the web server working. I'll get to putting gemini back up in the next couple of days.
    28
  219. DistroWatch isn't an actual measure of downloads, users or popularity. It's unfortunate because so many people assume it is, including some tech "journalists". I would guess that MX doesn't have even a fraction of the install base of things like Manjaro, Mint, Fedora or Arch. And I would bet everything that I own that MX doesn't even have 1% of the installs of either Ubuntu or Debian. That doesn't make MX bad. That doesn't make those bigger distros good either. Who cares about popularity! It's just unfortunate that DistroWatch is taken seriously as a metric of Linux popularity.
    28
  220. Yea, most people never see these minimal WMs before they are configured. Most of them are like this at the beginning. Solid color (black?) background....no panel....no nothing. A new user would think they haven't even logged into Openbox. They would just assume that their computer has frozen up. :D
    28
  221. Noted. Thanks for the correction.
    28
  222. I'm all over the place!
    28
  223. A couple of people have also mentioned that it's not just 'lsblk' that includes snaps, but also the 'df' command. It also has an "exclude" flag (-x). For 'df' you can exclude devices based on filesystem type, so in the case of snaps, you would exclude 'squashfs': df -x squashfs
    28
  224. Looking at his new "highlight" videos that he released today...wow the number of dislikes on those videos. He might want to reconsider his decision on this. But I'm afraid he has permanently damaged himself with this.
    28
  225. ^^ Guys, learn from him! STOP THE SUFFERING!
    28
  226. He actually aliased 'zsh' to 'bash' so there is no escape! ;)
    28
  227. Appreciate that! Keep up the great work on Starship!

  228. For those in the U.S., have a Happy Thanksgiving.
    27
  229. I'm just seeing who's paying attention.
    27
  230. Coming soon.
    27
  231. The nice people over at /g/ suggested this terminal program to look at: https://gitgud.io/wolfish/comfy/ This terminal 4chan viewer displays images (in some terminals). Works great in xterm. Does not display images properly in st, urxvt or termite. :(
    27
  232. Simply doing "yy" for yank line and "pp" for put only works inside your current vim instance. To copy and paste between two different instances of vim, you have to copy to a different register. So you would have to do something like "+yy (copy to the + register) and "+p (paste from + register).
    27
  233. That's a feature, not a bug. ;)
    27
  234. ^ This guy gets it!
    27
  235. You are correct. It looks like the "get" filter is needed: sys | get subtable
    27
  236. Writing that question down...
    27
  237. For those that downloaded the script very early after I uploaded this video, I did update the script to correct an error. Before, when you played a file and then opened dmenu again to choose a new file to play, it started the new file but kept playing the old one too. I've corrected that now so when you play a file, it kills mpv if it is already playing to avoid that unwanted effect. UPDATE: So I ditched the idea of using mpv altogether. No need for it when we can just use ffmpeg.
    26
  238. Correction: Friendship ended with XMonad. Now Doom Emacs is my best friend.
    26
  239. Glad you're still with us!
    26
  240. Thanks for the awesome chat!
    26
  241. I got the same email. I paid the guy. Just in case.

  244. When PH starts limiting everyone to 480p, people will really be upset! :D
    26
  245. Now I have to change the password for all 20 of my VMs!
    26
  246. This is my old Panasonic Lumix G7 with a 14mm lens. I have a newer camera (you can see behind my monitors) that is a Panasonic G9 with a 25mm lens. I plan on doing an updated studio tour video soon, and I'll cover the camera equipment.

  252. Already done this on the channel. I was never ever able to record a video, never had a working microphone. After 4 days, I had to give up on the idea.
    25
  253. Someone has already made an "rtfm" manpage: http://manpages.org/rtfm :D
    25
  254. Different kinds of menus. This is more for the point and click crowd. Dmenu/rofi are keyboard driven.
    25
  255. All these Emacs videos are a cry for help. :D
    25
  256. You are one of those people that fixes everything with duct tape, aren't you? :D
    25
  257. There are many reasons to use a desktop email client. The biggest reasons are (1) sometimes you want to access your emails offline, and (2) most people these days have multiple email addresses, often through multiple providers, so being able to check them in one place is pretty sweet! Oh....and (3) you won't be bombarded with ads like you are in most webmail sites.
    25
  258. I've been better. I was eating a donut with some coffee before I started recording, and I dropped half of my donut. I really wanted that donut.
    25
  259. @Harry Tsang No doubt, you made some lucky cryptominer very happy by running that script. :D
    25
  260. I didn't do anything. It just works for me. But sxiv does use the Xresources file, so you could: Sxiv.foreground: #bbbbbb Sxiv.background: #222222 And then merge your Xresources after your changes. EDIT: Now that I look at my Xresources, I do set *.background and *.forefground as a general fall back for colors on X programs. So that's why I get the dark background.
    25
  261. I'm such a noob at recording on a phone. But I barely know how to do anything on my phone. It's embarrassing.
    25
  262. Don't you hate it when that happens! :D I wouldn't bother editing your video though. I doubt either of us have ever put out a video that wasn't covered somewhere else on YouTube.

  265. Zebedee Boss I have some pretty liberal views regarding morality, but having sex with kids and animals is not OK,

  266. Those are heading tags when converted to HTML. So I added the bullet using CSS: h2:before{ font-size: 90%; padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px; position: relative; bottom: 1px; color: #c678dd; content: "⦿ ";
    24
  267. If you tell people you use Arch, there is no need to also tell them you use i3. It's just understood. :D
    24
  268. Solid release. I hope Windows 7 users consider your distro. Keep up the great work!
    24
  269. NOTE: I have completed rewriting 'dmscripts' so that all of them now include the '-d', '-f' and '-r' flags for dmenu, fzf and rofi. Be aware, there could be bugs associated with this major rewrite. I do know that a couple of the scripts DO NOT work with the 'fzf' option because some of the scripts expect the user to be able to type any input they want into the prompt. (see the 'dm-dictionary' script for example) It does not appear that 'fzf' allows for this; it expects to be fed a list of choices and you can't just type your own choice. If anyone has any ideas on how to get around this with 'fzf', I'd love to hear your thoughts.
    23

  280. Hi, James. Your article was great. It made some points that I think the Mint devs (and devs of other projects) should take to heart. Burnout is a real thing. Sometimes you bite off more than you can chew. A reassessment is sometimes needed. After all, you are either on an ascending path or a descending path, or treading water which is just staving off the descent. Keep up the great work!
    22
  281. I t kind of makes sense. People that have mathematical minds tend to do well in music...and obviously tech too.

  298. Some of these people get off on belittling others. It makes them feel better about themselves. Often these people are down on themselves and/or are failing in life. So they try to tear others down.
    20
  299. I'll make sure to do an entire album and put on iTunes.
    20
  300. Arch has always been a bit of a mess when it comes to their handling of Haskell packages.
    20
  301. And spreadsheet files that people send as an email attachment!
    20
  302. And I said that......unironically. :D
    20
  303. I know, right! Why can't we just have one Linux the way there is only one Windows or one MacOS? It would be great to only have one option that may or may not fit all of our needs, may or may not align with our principles...but without any other options, all we can do is shut up and take it. Yea...that would be great!
    20
  304. Eventually
    20
  305. It happens.
    20
  306. My pleasure, sir!
    20
  307. ​ @BrodieRobertson  Unfortunately, I don't think Org is ever going to be a real thing in Vim. Org is much more than a Emacs plugin. It's built into Emacs so people can make Emacs plugins just for Org. It would be great if the Vim or Neovim guys added native Org support to those editors (someone should submit a feature request!).
    20
  308. Appreciate that!
    20
  309. Thanks! And great job on the distro! :D
    20
  310. You mean the "meme" fork of Audacity? No one took that thing seriously. It was abandoned practically as soon as it started. "Meme" software never lasts long....except Gentoo...that meme will never die.
    20
  311. Used and abused.
    20
  312. OK, guys. Spent a few hours this morning playing with xmonad and polybar. WOW! What a headache! I remember why most people use xmobar with Xmonad. But it is good to offer people choice, so hopefully in the next few days I will have and 'xmonad-with-xmobar' package and an 'xmonad-with-polybar' package available in DTOS.
    20
  313. I actually created a Facebook and a Twitter account in the early days of the channel. After a few weeks, I deleted both of those as well. Facebook was wrapped up in too many privacy scandals at the time, and Twitter was just nothing but drama and hate.
    20
  314. lol
    20
  315. You are most welcome, sir. The latest ArchLabs looks like the best one yet. Keep up the great work!
    20
  316. Things are back to normal as of today. I'm ready to get back to work! :D
    20
  317. Sounds like the name of a Norwegian death metal band.
    19
  318. I might go see Stallman speak in person in a couple of weeks. I hope he doesn't see this video...or the free software song video. That would be awkward.
    19
  319. Very true, Lenny. Take care.
    19
  320. That happened decades ago.
    19
  321. Don't underestimate the growth of Odysee. It's gaining a lot of traction.

  325. That might be the reason you are using Arch now. But admit it...when you started using Arch, it was all about the "BTW." :D
    19
  326. Not a bad distro...if you like KDE.
    19
  327. That would be embarrassing....if true. I'm not saying it's true though!
    19
  328. Well, I can't swear to you that she is, in fact, an elderly lady. No doubt, some of these people that email me are not who they claim.
    19
  329. Might revisit some of the tiling managers and other software that needs config'ing. And dive deeper into how to read the documentation and write a proper config. Great idea!
    19
  330. Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated.
    19
  331. Operating systems don't matter when you run Emacs. :D
    19
  332. An overdose of freedom. An ORGY of freedom! :D

  333. Bionic Beaver would like to have a word with you. ;)

    18
  335. A little of both.
    18
  336. Be sure to pipe all of that into lolcat.
    18
  337. What is your uptime? (that sounds bad....nevermind.)
    18
  338. Great tip, Karl. Honestly, I tried so hard to keep this video noob-friendly. The instant I launched vim, I kinda regretted it. I knew I was about to lose some people.
    18
  339. "Hi, this is Raj from Topeka..."
    18
  340. On the desktop? There's no advantage to using the BSDs. Linux supports far more hardware. On the server, there might be advantages to the BSDs. FreeBSD has a reputation for having a more robust network stack compared to Linux (and other OS's). OpenBSD has a good reputation when it comes to security. And for many years, ZFS was a BSD thing...only recently is ZFS available on Linux.
    18
  341. Good luck!
    18
  342. Yea, I should try that...reading the documentation. But I'm a "fly by the seat of my pants" kinda guy.
    18
  343. Appreciate the kind words, sir!
    18
  344. I'll make the tutorial in this post. Install 'polkit' and 'lxsession'; and then run 'lxsession' (or better yet, put in your window manager's autostart hook). Best of luck!
    18
  345. Well, the terminals that launched took me to the terminal workspace. Firefox took me to the browser workspace. Maybe the Endeavour guys should make PCManFM take me to the files workspace. Because I promise you that I won't be the only one that wonders why the program that I just launched didn't launch.
    18
  346. Not allowed. The license states that only dirty limericks are allowed to be written in Kakoune. ;)
    18
  347. Great question! Interestingly, I can't find any mention of a way to donate to Tiny Core on their website. Not sure if they accept donations or not.
    17
  348. Makes sense. Sometimes it's good to get of the house for awhile.
    17
  349. Fitting, don't you think? I though about wearing a purple t-shirt too.
    17
  350. Ah! Was wondering how that line got there, because I don't even know what scrotwm is. lol
    17
  351. He says he has unflattering photos of me. He will post them publicly if I don't send him bitcoin.
    17
  352. Live from the Backyard News Network.
    17
  353. I sometimes wish I was bald...ya know, just to see how the other half live.
    17
  354. "pacman -S" is fine. The problem is syncing the repos with "pacman -Sy" and then installing one (or more) programs with "pacman -S" without updating all packages first. This is called a "partial update". Never do that. If you have to do a "pacman -Sy" to sync the repos, just go ahead and add the -u (-Syu) to also update all your packages.
    17
  355. Was waiting for someone to mention this. Surprised it took so long. ;)
    17
  356. Like AntiX but someone needs to explain to them that if you are going to install things like jwm, fluxbox and icewm by default...go ahead an add an openbox session as well. :D
    17
  357. You guys are being really mean to Mr. Whole. He was just excited. The last 15 times he claimed "first" he was really the second. :D
    17
  358. No, but if you know someone at Brave, tell them to hit me up on Mastodon.
    17
  359. Alex Stone Unlike Arch, the very lengthy install prevents the Gentoo guys from putting on noob machines.
    17
  360. Oh, it's coming. ;)
    17
  361. Several people in the comments here have tried to dump the database, and were successful. So it's still open for everyone to look at it.
    17
  362. Glad to help.
    17
  363. Works in bash but not in fish, which is what I was using in this video. But 'command' works in all of the popular shells.
    17
  364. Thanks, Martin!
    17
  365. I wouldn't name something like that. I wouldn't want to offend those unfortunate souls that aren't as blessed as I am. #dtisnotbald :D
    17
  366. I got rid of my TVs about 5 years ago. It was one of the best decisions that I've ever made.
    17
  367. I just got my power, internet and water back on. Hadn't had Internet since Tuesday morning. Hadn't had running water since Monday. Got a lot of laundry to do...and I could shave.
    17
  368. Coffee > RTFM!
    17
  369. Much appreciated!
    17
  370. You too!
    17
  371. Thanks. The funny thing is...I wasn't wearing pants when I recorded this. ;)
    17
  372. DT is the devil? :D
    17
  373. NOTE: grep -Irl 'string' /path/to/directory

  375. Nice!

  377. Confermed.
    16
  378. TOTAL OS TODAY Is it that? Or are these former friends in the trunk of your Cadillac?
    16
  379. I appreciate that!
    16
  380. Neovim is a just a fling. Emacs is the one that you marry.
    16
  381. I'd also mention that some people prefer the BSD licenses as opposed to the GPL license and choose their OS based on that.
    16
  382. That, sir, is what we call BLOAT! :D
    16
  383. Yea, when a Windows machine is completely crippled and I install Linux on it, people are blown away by this new version of "Windows" that no one seems to know about. :D
    16

    16
  385. Thanks, Chris! Much appreciated, brother.
    16
  386. Agreed! Unity is a very comfy desktop.
    16
  387. Keep in mind, I'm not using a normal keyboard. I'm using an ErgoDox EZ. My control key is me holding down "z". And my caps is on the right-hand thumb cluster (not a great spot for repetitive use).
    16
  388. True. And status, stop and start could have just been... ^atus^op and ^op^art
    16
  389. lol
    16
  390. Enabling DRM using Emacs...aka The House That Stallman Built...just seemed wrong. Vim was the only real choice here.
    16
  391. I too think that Emacs is woefully underrated as far as creative writing. In fact, it's one of the reasons I've stuck with Emacs over Vim. I'm currently working on a novel (not something I want to talk publicly about yet) and I've been writing it in Emacs with Org. I can't imagine using a standard word processor for such a task.
    16
  392. Excellent!
    16
  393. It would have been the fourth thing I love. :D
    16
  394. Welcome aboard!
    16
  395. I doubt the Debian guys have the source to the Arch Wiki in their repos. But you can install it yourself if you want: https://github.com/lahwaacz/arch-wiki-docs
    16
  396. They don't make a machine capable of cracking my passwords, Father. :D
    16
  397. They were in awe of his musical ability!
    16
  398. Awesome. Hope you enjoy it!
    16
  399. I'm aware of this. Not too surprising. We've seen the warning signs for some time now that GNOME doesn't play well with others.
    16
  400. Yea, it's too hard to come up with passwords myself.
    16
  401. Yes, I get it. All of us bald-headed white guys look alike. :D
    15
  402. Good to know!
    15
  403. Stallman actually worked for MIT and is therefore a representative of the university. His firing isn't even in the same ballpark as the Linux Foundation banning a guy from a conference for a Twitter pic.
    15
  404. Not sure what 'Obsidianmd' is exactly but a quick Google search shows that it's not open source software, so I'm going to pass on that.
    15
  405. Best of luck!
    15
  406. emacs -nw (for "no window") Obviously, if this is what you really want to use all the time...setup an alias.
    15
  407. Yea, you can do the same in Magit. In the video where I type "s" to stage something. If I "TAB" to look at the diff, I can visually select a region to stage ( by pressing "s" after I select the region).
    15
  408. The great thing about Qtile is that it acts very much like XMonad. So that makes it rather easy to switch between the two....other than the obvious difference of Python vs Haskell.
    15
  409. Yea, I was getting tired of all the Linux channels making their "Here are things Windows does awesome" videos. I wanted to remind of some "other" things that Windows does too.
    15
  410. Thanks! And I declare your comment the true "first". :D
    15
  411. Yes, go download that aimbot .exe from that shady gaming site. What's the worst thing that could happen?!
    15
  412. I love it!
    15
  413. This is just a stop-gap until we get org:// as a proper Internet protocol.
    15
  414. It's human nature. It's why whenever I see a cop in my rear view mirror, I immediately start sweating like I've got a brick of cocaine and a dead body in the trunk of the car.
    15
  415. Congrats!
    15
  416. OpenSUSE will take great offense to this!
    15
  417. Green or amber font is a must. Real hackers use monochrome color schemes!
    15
  418. No, I do way too much stuff with audio/video to use any of the BSDs. It's just not appropriate for desktop use, at least not for all my multimedia stuff. If you have very basic needs, then one of the BSDs may work for you.
    15
  419. Funny how that works out sometimes.
    15
  420. The Linux kernel does include some binary blobs, which are proprietary and no one can edit the source code or even view the source code of those binary blobs. These are typically drivers. Without these proprietary blobs, Linux won't work on most hardware. Of course, the kernel is modular and you can compile your own kernel without a lot of this stuff. There is a completely "free" kernel called "linux-libre". But again, unless you know for sure that you have a machine that can run it, the standard kernel is probably the one you want.
    15
  421. Ah, that makes sense now with that splash screen that had the eagle's head.
    15
  422. It's why I own a cat.
    15
  423. Correct, it takes the random number, divides it by 6, and if the remainder is 0.....you hit the jackpot!
    15
  424. Uh....no. I'd rather write my documents with cat/echo redirection than use ed.
    15
  425. This guy gets it! :D
    15
  426. > If Peppermint stays this good, I will keep using it. Until you catch the distrohopping bug! :D
    15
  427. Check the default config. In your distro, it might not have all the keybindings set or it might have them all commented out. If you need a config to start with, grab mine: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.spectrwm.conf The baraction script I use: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/baraction.sh
    15
  428. Thanks for the sub!
    15
  429. Thanks! :D
    15
  430. I have downgraded virtualbox before as well. I've had to downgrade kdenlive a couple of times in the past. I also had to downgrade qtile a couple of years ago (for about a week) due to a nasty bug.
    15
  431. Because
    14
  432. Keep using qtile if you love it. (I love qtile!). It's essentially an xmonad clone written in Python. It's fabulous.
    14
  433. I agree. I like to be paid as a musician too. But the problem is piracy isn't ever going away, and the people that use such services were never going to pay you anyway. Before the Internet, these people were doing the same thing, only copying physical media (like tapes and CDs). Some people are never going to abide by the law. It's been this way since the beginning of time. I think the bigger issue is that there are too many layers between the musicians/composers and the consumer. There are people that would love to give to their favorite artists if there were more direct ways of doing so, without the need to use DRM-filled proprietary services that require setting up an account.
    14
  434. Glad you enjoy it! It still needs a lot of work but I think, at my current pace, it should be ready for a 1.0 release by 2025. :D
    14
  435. Regular expressions shouldn't require a 40-hour series of videos.
    14
  436. Not even close to the same format. I'm not wearing sunglasses on my head.
    14
  437. You can build your GTK app using practically any language. Popular choices like C, C++ and Python are nice because you will find so many examples and good documentation. Haskell is a bit tougher because it's me and like 3 other weirdos that choose Haskell for our GTK apps. :D
    14
  438. Thanks! Keep doing what you're doing! :D
    14
  439. Bryan Lunduke That's cool. I think it's a conversation worth having, one that affects every content creator on YouTube (and other platforms as well). We can message each other on Patreon, or you can shoot me an email at derek @ distrotube.com. Take care.
    14
  440. Now that's a bestie! :D
    14
  441. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!
    14
  442. That's great, Ghiunhan. Your mother must be very proud of your work. Take care.
    14
  443. @Dick Bosman > It would be a nice touch to have a list of most programs your keybindings expect to be on the system. There is a nice list of programs that my keybindings use. It's in a file called xmonad.hs. Go to the section where I've put my keybindings. There really isn't a need to retype a second document just for this information.
    14
  444. Manjaro is so nice, you had to say it twice.
    14
  445. I expect there to be plenty of Arch videos this week. It'll be like Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. :D
    14
  446. Absolutely proprietary.
    14
  447. Tried to install a couple of months ago and couldn't get it installed. So maybe I will look at it at some point, once it works.
    14
  448. It hasn't been updated because there's nothing to update. Openbox is a very small program that is essentially feature complete. And it's the default window manager in LXDE and in LXQt so there's dozens of distros using it. So let's not overreact.
    14
  449. I need to make a video on this....soon. ;)
    14
  450. Nice tips. Especially that steam user part. I could see that tripping up alot of people.
    14
  451. Thanks, Jerry. Keep up the fantastic work with Linux Lite!
    14
  452. I have woods nearby. Hmmm?
    14
  453. Thanks!
    14
  454. Me too. If the only choice was to use Windows or run Hannah Montana Linux....I'm taking Hannah. :D
    14
  455. Nested parentheses make me have bad flashbacks to that time I spent trying to learn Elisp.
    14
  456. I'll write it down just in case I ever startup an anime reaction channel. Don't hold your breath though.
    14
  457.  @sebaszwarc  > In what universe Ctrl-v is not paste? In the real universe...where Emacs and its keybindings pre-date the CUA keybindings (like CTRL-c/CTRL-v) that were created by IBM and Microsoft in the late 1980s.
    14
  458. Mr. Whole is going to be sad.
    14
  459. Skype. j/k Yes, we used Jitsi.
    14
  460. Ouch!
    14
  461. Glad it was helpful!
    14
  462.  @lucasZr113  Note that some commands accept both standard input and command line arguments...so pipes and xargs both work on them. I believe 'cat' (which I used in the video) is one that does both. So a pipe would have been fine...but I used xargs which was also fine.
    14
  463. We've all been there.
    14
  464. There is a progression to these things. First, a video on grep, then a video on sed, then a video on awk. Gotta walk before we run. ;)
    14
  465. Great to hear that it's working for you. To be honest, I do most of my testing with DTOS on Manjaro, so I expect it to be a smoother experience than on other distros (since I can't possibly test every Arch-based distro).
    14
  466. It will. The Arch Wiki, of course, doesn't mention Yay or any AUR helper as they are not the prescribed way of installing AUR packages. But yea, if you use an AUR helper, this is a bit easier.
    14
  467. While I usually choose "Chicago" as my "Time Zone" location when I do my Linux installations on camera...I'm actually about 13 hours away (if driving) in Louisiana.
    13
  468. Yep, getting off of Facebook and Twitter were the best decisions I've ever made.
    13
  469. I was thinking about doing videos specifically about polybar and xmobar.
    13
  470. I actually admire him alot more than Linus because of how stubbornly principled he is in regards to "free software." But man, these quotes make me think that he might actually be some sort of child predator.
    13
  471. And the hits just keep coming.
    13
  472. Haha! I should put that on a t-shirt!
    13
  473. :D Was wondering if anyone would notice! I figured that I would bring the intro out of retirement for one video.
    13
  474. You too!
    13
  475. It has that BSD-like mentality to it.
    13
  476. Gesundheit.
    13
  477. Jesse, is that you?
    13
  478. I'm not "daytrading" in the way that you probably are talking about. I'm not taking 50/50 shots on whether a stock or a forex pair will go up/down in the next few minutes or few hours. That's gambling and you have absolutely no edge doing such trading, despite what all the fake "financial" youtubers tell you. I'm trading options and mostly using strategies that have 70-80% chance of winning. And as I showed in this video, I make thousands of options trades every year. If I didn't know what I was doing, I would have went broke a helluva long time ago. ;)
    13
  479. Fake news.
    13
  480. > telling someone randomly what OS you use isn't a common thing. Depends on what OS you use...btw. ;)
    13
  481. Check my GitLab (in show notes) for shell-color-scripts.
    13
  482. I may be crazy...but I ain't that crazy (yet).
    13
  483. A social network has to be run by someone. So you have no choice but to trust someone. Now with decentralized social networks, you have alot of options. And the decentralized nature of Diaspora and Mastodon makes them less susceptible to the extreme data mining of Facebook and Twitter. Networks like Facebook and Twitter exist for one reason...to make money by serving you ads. So they have to data mine and it's easy for them to do it....EVERYONE has an account with them. And all that data is on one centralized network. Most Mastodon instances have less than a hundred users.
    13
  484. It's no Haskell, that's for sure.
    13
  485. Yea, 'ls' wasn't a good example of what stdin is. I should have used something like 'cat < file' where cat takes stdin as an argument. Kinda ironic that I didn't use 'cat' as an example since this video was about 'cat'. ;)
    13
  486. The more people trashing Apple on camera, the better! Of course, I'm looking at my Android phone while saying that.
    13
  487. Doesn't really matter. Obviously, syntax is different. But really we are just using Haskell and Python as ''glue'" to create these GTK apps. And that "glue" is pretty similar. If you watch me walk through the Haskell, then you'll understand the Python.
    13
  488. It's nice if you are copying and pasting between the terminal and other Emacs programs. It's also nice because you don't have to leave emacs. No need to switch back and forth between emacs and terminal since the terminal is now an Emacs buffer. I wouldn't do any big compilations or anything like that in the Emacs shells though. They are noticeably slower on big tasks. And not the most stable.
    13
  489. Install brave-bin (binary) from the Chaotic AUR.
    13
  490. Free and open source never dies. ;)
    13
  491. I'll make new friends....on the Arch forum. I hear they are REALLY friendly over there. :D
    13
  492. Actually, I was corrected on this by another commenter. Tangle will work on anything so it doesn't have to be a programming language, since we are not really evaluating the code with this. We are just writing what's in the SRC blocks to the file we specify.
    13
  493. Thanks, Monk.
    13
  494. It's for two reasons: (1) space, and (2) separation of work and home.
    13
  495. Mic -> Preamp -> EQ -> Compressor -> Sonic Exiciter -> Mixer -> Computer
    13
  496. I've been exposed! :D
    13
  497. You already know where I'm heading with all of this.
    13
  498. I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as a patron, is in fact, a GNU/patron, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, a GNU plus patron.
    13
  499. A trio? Sounds like bloat.
    13
  500. That's unfortunate but hopefully their call for contributors will be heard: https://github.com/nomacs/nomacs/issues/987
    13
  501. Getting closer. I had to really clean up the PKGBUILDs the last couple of days. There some errors when trying to install some of my packages. Once the repository of software is good, then we will be ready for the public.
    13
  502. Finally! ;)
    13
  503. Thanks for the idea!
    12
  504. I purposely went a couple of days without shaving before wearing this shirt. So that it's clear...DT IS NOT BALD! ;)
    12
  505. I didn't want to suggest that people make a script...but...hey, if you got the skills. Whatever gets this done! :D
    12
  506. This sucker is addictive!
    12
  507. Thanks for talking a little Linux with me. :D
    12
  508. No certification available as of today. But there really needs to be one. No telling how many times people have interviewed for sys admin type jobs and been told, "Your resume looks fine....BUT.....I'm not seeing any toilet or ponysay."
    12
  509. "emacs" launches the standard gui emacs. "emacs -nw" launches the terminal-based emacs. If you need to setup an alias so that emacs always launches as "emacs -nw", then open your bashrc or zshrc (depending on what shell you use) and add this line: alias enw='emacs -nw' Now, when you run "enw" it runs "emacs -nw". ;)
    12
  510. Thanks for watching!
    12
  511. AntiX is far from obscure. It's kind of a sister distro to MX. A lot of the devs work on both.
    12
  512. I thought so as well.
    12
  513. Artix is the non-systemd protest fork for Arch. Similar to how Devuan is the non-systemd protest fork for Debian.
    12
  514. Is that a question? Be confident, dude! Yell FIRST!!! :D
    12
  515. :D
    12
  516. Yes, boost me up before the YouTube algorithm decides to age-restrict this video due to the adult Linux content. :D
    12
  517. Ubuntu is open source software. Windows is proprietary poo. Please, never put Ubuntu and Windows in the same sentence again. Thanks.
    12
  518. Soon.
    12
  519. Absolutely. What works for one guy might be the DEVIL to the next guy. :D
    12
  520. Yep, 'dmscripts' is designed with a config file that sets a bunch of variables, one of them is DMENU="dmenu -i -l 20 -p". Change the DMENU variable to the appropriate 'rofi' command and you are all set.
    12
  521. Xmonad.org and Haskell.org. A "comprehensive" guide on video would be hours...dozens of hours...in length. At some point, you have to read the documentation for yourself and figure out what you need for your particular purposes.
    12
  522. Yea, this did seem more like the full LXDE experience.
    12
  523. Yo!
    12
  524. Manjaro is awesome!
    12
  525. ^^ This guys lives dangerously! :D
    12
  526. Well, there is one person you can trust. Yourself. Just self-host if you can't trust anyone else. Again, this is an option not available with things like Facebook and Twitter.
    12
  527. Thanks and great job on your distro!
    12
  528. Was wondering who would be the first to say this. :D
    12
  529. Haha. Yea. I've tried st a few times along my Linux journey. Never really liked it. But maybe I'll take a look at it again down the road. Sometimes it's good to revisit things...kinda like I did with urxvt. I guess I'm a terminal-emulator-hopper...as well as a distro-hopper.
    12
  530. Thank you!
    12
  531. This is exactly what the real hacker would say!
    12
  532. This is getting ridiculous.
    12
  533. I think it's time to block you from the channel. Let someone else win every now and then. :D
    12
  534. If you can't type "first" then it doesn't count. Sorry. Them's the rules.
    12
  535. Hmmm.....stay tuned.
    12
  536. This is where it gets weird. Are there ads in the videos he's posting to his patrons? If so....wtf?
    12
  537. True!
    12
  538. I should have added an 6th option...just for the kids today. (6) What's a desktop/laptop? My smartphone is all I need! :D
    12
  539. Thanks! While I certainly plan on helping people get their financial lives in order, the Emacs videos are definitely not going to stop. :D
    12
  540. Richard, is that you?
    12
  541. >needs to be easily portable to a freshly installed distro. Exactly! And we are ALMOST there with what I did on this video. The next step...move to a proper stand-alone window manager where you can set all of your rules in a config file. Save your config(s) to GitHub or GitLab. Then...reinstalling or even distro-hopping no longer matters, because you can just "git clone" your configs. Boom, it's like you never hopped. For a drop-terminal, there are many good options. If you switch to a tiling window manage, most of them have a scratchpad function where you have a hot key that toggles show/hide a program (such as a terminal).
    12
  542. Merry Christmas!
    12
  543. Now where is that ban button? :D
    12
  544. Glad you asked about it. I was shocked that I hadn't made a dedicated video showing nitrogen. Not sure how that slipped by me. :D
    12
  545. Don't put such ideas in my head!
    12
  546. Yea, I forgot that Debian and Ubuntu now link 'sh' to 'dash'. Good catch. I'm pretty sure that they use 'bash' as the root user's interactive shell still since it's just better for user interaction. They use 'dash' for executing POSIX shell scripts because it's a bit faster at that than 'bash'.
    12
  547. Howdy from the swamp. :D
    12
  548. It would be well deserved.
    12
  549. Stalin was a closet weeb.
    12
  550. It's a bit loud, IMHO. Might be a good idea to get that Yeti on a swivel arm or boom arm. Those Yetis are just way too sensitive. Anything that happens on your desk, like typing or sitting down a coffee cup or just resting your elbows...it all gets picked up.
    12
  551. No, I wouldn't run Gentoo on my production machine. Not with all that I do on my computer. Minutes count! I can't wait on compiling.
    11
  552. >Is this a joke? Or are you actually serious? A bit of both. ::D
    11
  553. The fact that a dev honestly thought that "sudo" was the problem that needed fixing...that just blows my mind.
    11
  554. NOTE: Since making this video, I have created a repository of software at: https://gitlab.com/dtos/dtos-core-repo So please use 'dtos-core-repo' rather than 'dt-arch-repo' which will be deprecated soon.
    11
  555. No, actually. It would have been better to uncomment that line. Or for me uncomment and change it from '(mu4e +gmail)' to 'mu4e'. Corrected that in my config. Thanks.
    11
  556. Had not considered that, OMAR. Good point!
    11
  557. We are the world. We are the children...
    11
  558. >whats wrong with wayland? I record videos.
    11
  559. Because I'm mean.
    11
  560. Don't do this people. It will break your install! :D
    11
  561. # if this dir does not already exist, make it! mkdir /home/user/.config/compton # Copy the sample config fileover into your home user's config dir. sudo cp /usr/share/doc/comton/examples/compton.sample.conf /home/user/.config/compton/compton.conf
    11
  562. Openbox certainly qualifies as minimal. Moreso than dwm. Dwm has a panel by default...openbox does not! :D
    11
  563. We need a furry fork of 0 AD.
    11
  564. I've done videos on how to build Arch packages and how to host your own Arch packages repo on something like GitLab. So search fro those. As far as scripts to help automate the process, everything is on GitLab. All of the PKLGBUILDs are in the dtos-pkgbuild repo, and the database of binary packages is in the dtos-core-repo..
    11
  565. I don't control what YT considers spam. The neocities link has been posted many, many times on this video. No need to keep posting. It's just going to get autoremoved by YT.
    11
  566. Not enough hours in the day. But I think I have plan. Been buying lottery tickets. Just waiting on the winner.
    11
  567. GNOME Twerks? OH,....I gedit!
    11
  568. btw?
    11
  569. Oh...you are going to get trashed mercilessly in this thread. Best of luck! :D
    11
  570. nice
    11
  571. Are you afraid that I might have hurt the proprietary software's feelings by calling it "garbage"? Should I post a public apology to Edge and Chrome? Should enroll in some sort of sensitivity training? lol
    11
  572. Run a sudo pacman -Syu. You should have new versions of dtos-alacritty, dtos-conky and dtos-xmobar available. These packages install the new configs in /etc/dtos. Copy the configs from /etc/dtos into $HOME. dmenu-distrotube places its source code in /opt/dmenu-distrotube.
    11
  573. I like the way you think!
    11
  574. Makes you more efficient though. You don't dare waste a second!
    11
  575. I trust any program that revolves around 4chan.
    11
  576. DASGeek You did provide some inspiration on that.
    11
  577. Now I have to start using a different password in my VMs. :(
    11
  578. Honestly, I thought it wouldn't work at all. But I got quite a few frags. So it....sorta works. But not really.
    11
  579. Someone should fork it....and name it OpenJoe. :D
    11
  580. Funny you mention that. Kdenlive appears to have broken itself again on this latest update. It crashes if you try to use parallel processes while rendering. It took me like 5 minutes to render this 1 minute video using a single process. Imagine if I had made a 20-30 minute video! I really need to just stick to the Kdenlive appImage and never bother updating. It's not worth it.
    11
  581. Thank you, sir!
    11
  582. This is why my default response is " I don't have a favorite."
    11
  583. That was quite a moment. :D
    11
  584. Southern US. I'm in Louisiana. Southerners tend talk at a slower pace which many non-Americans find easy to listen to (especially those whose first language isn't English).
    11
  585. I haven't used any other brand of split keyboards. But I'm sure others will respond with recommendations, so I'm pinning this comment.
    11
  586. Much like some of the GNU coreutils have alternative versions that sometimes distros ship with, some distros do ship a 'column' command that is not the one from util-linux. They ship a 'column' that is part of the bsdutils I think. It's annoying when distros veer from the norm because...yes, you're missing some cool flags.
    11
  587. Awesome ain't bad. :D
    11
  588. Guilty as charged.
    11
  589. No problem!
    11
  590. If first, say it with some enthusiasm!
    11
  591. I killed that bag.
    11
  592. Confirmed! :D
    11
  593. Minimalism gone too far. Yet...1080p.
    11
  594. Doing just fine. Heading out to grab lunch and get in "chest and shoulders day" at the gym. :D
    11
  595. Microsoft has been harming the foss community since the beginning.
    11
  596. Recipes are perfect for Gemini!
    11
  597. Arch no longer ships with nano out of the box. Install it: pacman -S nano
    10
  598. Nothing wrong with runit...or Void. I strongly considered installing Void on my main production machine a few weeks ago when I got my new computer. Maybe I will hop to Void at some point.
    10
  599. If you didn't scrot it and put it on Imgur, then it didn't happen! ;)
    10
  600. Well deserved.
    10
  601. I wish p was my middle initial! :D
    10
  602. That's cute.
    10
  603. Well, it's more difficult then most other tiling window managers. I don't want to lie to people. But some people make it out to be harder than it is.
    10
  604. I think he uses pcmanfm. :D
    10
  605. I will be trying my best to use Surf as a daily driver for the next couple of weeks. Changing my browser to surf is certainly a bigger shock to the system than changing window managers.
    10
  606. Fish is the future. I'm just ahead of the curve. ;)
    10
  607. Did you file a bug report? :D
    10
  608. Soon.
    10
  609. Welcome to Linux! It's a deep rabbit hole. :D
    10
  610. Great work, Mr. Dubois. Can't wait to see what the furture holds for Arco!
    10
  611. ^^ This guy gets it!
    10
  612. So many possibilities!
    10
  613. You just get text from that web page...no video can be played in the terminal. But there are terminal-based applications that allow you to search YouTube and click the links and have them open in your media player. Check out youtube-dl.
    10
  614. Nice! Hope it keeps working for you!
    10
  615. I appreciate that!
    10
  616. cOnFiRmEd
    10
  617. Adding an extra syllable is bloat.
    10
  618. A fellow minimalist! :D
    10
  619. A much nicer result. Much more readable: https://imgur.com/QJU1g8d Great job!
    10
  620. This is what the 'cat' command is actually used for. So you got all of those x** files... cat x* > filename
    10
  621. Thanks for this excellent distro, sir!
    10
  622. This video sponsored by... :D
    10
  623. He also loves Haiku so he's not all bad.
    10
  624. Several years back it became damn dead Linux. :D
    10
  625. Blur is the new flat.
    10
  626. Well said, Alger.
    10
  627. Thanks for the great content!
    10
  628. My pleasure!
    10
  629. Can't wait to see that wallpaper!
    10
  630. I appreciate that
    10
  631. Top five reasons to run Manjaro? Hmmm...
    10
  632. YouTube has been down today. Oddly enough, it allowed me to upload this long video and it processed it. But I can't watch this video (or any other video) right now unless I set it to 144p. YouTube needs to upgrade those servers. sudo pacman -Syu Official tweet from YouTube about this outage: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1326681978037444608
    10
  633. Haha! It is almost the same program.
    10
  634. I like it.
    10
  635. Will also cleanup your anime folder. ;)
    10
  636. Thanks, Eric. My first attempt at GhostBSD didn't go that well but I will continue to follow its development. Keep up the great work!
    10
  637. Sure thing. Keep up the great work! :D
    10
  638. > Why do some scripts have .sh and some don't? File extensions don't mean anything on Linux. So it's still a shell script whether you add .sh or not. Generally, if it's an executable program, you don't add the .sh extension.. Or if it is named with .sh in your repos, strip the extension when it gets placed in /usr/bin.
    10
  639. Pulse audio.

  641. Good morning!
    10
  642. Is that a question? Say it with some pride--FIRST!
    10
  643. Really? That's new for me. :D
    10
  644. hi
    10
  645. I'd never do that! ;)
    10
  646. For those interested, check out: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/30 This gives you some of the details behind the Qutebrowser team trying to implement some extensions support within the browser. Once this is in place, then we may get important things like a more proper adblock system (the builtin ad block is pretty 'meh'), https everywhere, stylesheet selectors, etc. This issue has been open for 6 years but adding extension support is a huge undertaking. Maybe some of you 'pythonistas' can help them out. ;)
    10
  647. I looked at NixOS in previous videos. Actually, the laptop you see in the background on many of my videos (my cmatrix server) runs NixOS.
    10
  648. There should be a "scooby" somewhere near the beginning.
    10
  649. Maybe one day.
    10
  650. Do it! :D
    10
  651. Yea, but the reason you see that content is because YouTube bans that stuff. When YouTube (and it's advertisers) decided that they don't want to deal with crypto channels or people that lean right politically, those people have to go somewhere else and many went to LBRY. Yes, it's annoying that so much content on LBRY is centered around a handful of subjects but it will get better with growth. It's certainly more diverse content now than back in January when I joined.
    10
  652. Ah yes, there have been a many Linux installs that I have done where when I reboot I'm thinking to myself "I give it a 50/50 chance that it boots."
    10
  653. Emacs with "haskell-mode" is just beyond anything that the other editors could hope to offer. ;)
    10
  654. Agreed!
    10
  655. +2
    10
  656. The 'timeout' command is nice to schedule an exit.....especially if you can't remember how to exit.
    10
  657. You have no idea how close I was to making this exact list. ;)
    10
  658. Makes sense. Rebooting is always the answer, right? :D
    10
  659. Emacs is perfectly suited as an operating system to play Doom on.
    10
  660. I install sl on every machine. :D
    10
  661. Just a coincidence, I'm sure. FOSS devs would never name something inappropriately.
    9
  662. Oh, we are definitely adding ollama to Emacs. Stay tuned! ;)
    9
  663. sudo pacman -Syu ;) All of the DTOS config packages install to /etc/dtos. So copy everything in /etc/dtos over to your $HOME. Be aware that this will overwrite your current configs.
    9
  664. Most servers aren't going to have a display server installed. But...you can use X11 forwarding to run GUI apps remotely. It's not a great experience though. Teamviewer is probably what most people use for something like this though, but Teamviewer is proprietary poo. :D
    9
  665. I can't say it was intentional. But I was too lazy to run on one of my studio lamps that would have added a bit more white light to the room.
    9
  666. 'yes' certainly fits into the moderately useful category. :D
    9
  667. If by first you mean third....yea.
    9
  668. Steam and Lutris are available on Linux. And with the rise of the game streaming services, the operating system matters less and less.
    9
  669. Keeping a Dropbox or Nextcloud account is good too because, even if you use Github/Gitlab, there are some things that contain sensitive information in plain text that you wouldn't want in public repo.
    9
  670. These commands are a bit more specialized. They are not something most Linux desktop users will ever need. But it's good to know that they are there.
    9
  671. Or herbstluft. Probably those two will be the next two I try.
    9
  672. XMonad gets a bad rap for being difficult. It's actually quite easy to configure once you know your way around the config and the documentation.
    9
  673. This explains so much! Satya Nadella is trying to EEE us! :D
    9
  674. HODL!
    9
  675.  @dragonballjiujitsu  I see several people complaining that their comments are being deleted from his response video too. So I refreshed his response video page a few times and noticed he was actively removing comments: https://i.imgur.com/b7Yva1s.png Honestly, it's obvious when a YouTuber deletes ALL of his critical comments. The comment section turns into nothing but a bunch of people praising the creator. I'm not sure why some creators delete so many of their comments. YouTube is a social platform and part of the fun for your viewers is the conversation/debate in the comment section. This kind of thing seriously stunts the growth of a channel.
    9
  676. Not a GH5. One camera is a G7 and the other is a G9.
    9
  677. Great to hear!
    9
  678. Granny won't like this. :D
    9
  679. Thanks, Josh!
    9
  680. Bloated ego and narcissism? An interesting observation since this is a 40 minute video where I go minutes at a time without saying anything. I will assume that it's the few times I do speak where we interrupt each other that upsets you so. The interruptions are not intentional when doing these kinds of videos. There is some delay issues on such a conference call so, naturally, people kind of step on each other. It really can't be helped.
    9
  681. Well said, Felipe. :D
    9
  682. Every project should learn from the Qtile guys on how proper documentation is done.
    9
  683. Bryan Lunduke Thank you, sir.
    9
  684. Thanks for sharing your story, Stephen.
    9
  685. I think not it's unfortunate that KaOS isn't pronounced as "chaos". After all, "chaos" and "Linux" are synonymous. :D
    9
  686. Awesome deal!
    9
  687. YouTube is proprietary garbage. Stallman was right!
    9
  688. This one won't affect me. Thankfully.
    9
  689. Way to go, mom!
    9
  690. Well, there are ways to watch this YouTube video without being on YouTuber. I won't mention what those ways are, due to my Google overlords watching me right now. But Google it. (or DuckDuckGo it)
    9
  691. That's a miracle with rolling releases. I wouldn't even have attempted it, honestly.
    9
  692. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.surf/html
    9
  693. It really is nice for most websites. Most of what I view on the web is articles, news, forums, wikis...who needs all those images and adverts slowing you down.
    9
  694. Yea, I didn't explain that well in the video. xdotool is required for my config (and anyone who happens to use it) due to the "clickable" workspaces I use in my xmobar. So workspace 9 for me is technically "<action xdotool key super+9>workspace name</action>".
    9
  695. Of course, I could do that! Keep in mind that this was a "I'm doing this on the fly" kinda video. ;) That being said, I have removed the unnecessary printf in the script now.
    9
  696. Awesome. Keep up the great work!
    9
  697. I can relate to not wanting to move from vim to emacs, especially after putting in so much time to learn vim. It's like being in your final semester at medical school and then suddenly deciding you want to pursue a law degree. :D
    9
  698. >Wondering how you would join those files back as one This is what the 'cat' command is actually used for. So you got all of those x** files... cat x* > filename
    9
  699. I guess he was just itching to use this copypasta and figured he would try to fit it in here. I said at the beginning of the video that I am not a programmer by trade, then he posts this novel about how he knows I'm not really a programmer. lol
    9
  700. Emacs ain't no joke!
    9
  701. There was a mini Snicker's bar in the cup....but I ate it prior to hitting the record button.
    9
  702. Solid and respectable choices.
    9
  703. Lucky for you, Richard doesn't watch YouTube. Because he would slap you for calling this "open source".
    9
  704. Just "sudo apt install Mucinex" and you should be fine. :D Take care, my friend.
    9
  705. I don't automate my installations. But having all of my dotfiles on GitLab certainly speeds things up.
    9
  706. ^^ What this guy said!
    9
  707. Already working on it.
    9
  708. Obviously.
    9
  709. Emacs isn't a console editor. (well, it can be a console editor but most people use it as a GUI)
    9
  710. Go for it!
    9
  711. Glad you like them!
    9
  712. Thanks for watching!
    9
  713. The Gentooilet is nice but I want to build Toilet From Scratch.
    9
  714. Those of us in the Southern US tend talk at half speed. So speeding us up to 2X should be just right. ;)
    9
  715. I don't scrap machines. I run Linux.
    9
  716. No, but it's always been a dream of mine.
    9
  717. I removed "yes" from speech years ago. I found "ok" works just as well.
    9
  718. Confirmed! And don't listen to the haters. WE ALL CARE! :D
    9
  719. mu4e (and other plugins) are planned for video soon.
    9
  720. I've been curious about this editor. I might check it out at some point. Maybe.
    9
  721. I hear ya, bro.
    9
  722. Of course, we have an alternative. We've never used such software to take exams before. Why start now?
    9
  723. Yeahhhhh dawg!
    9
  724. Manjaro's green is the best. Much nicer than OpenSUSE's green. And Linux Mint's green and Ubuntu MATE's green are just...yuck.
    9
  725. You can if you use good headphones. Just listening on the phone or through crappy computer speakers....not so much.
    9
  726. Don't the French make that stinky Limburger cheese?
    9
  727. I was too lazy to edit video today. I think this what the 4chan crowd refers to as "shit-tier content".
    9
  728. >but it is so slow in my windows Something tells me that this has less to do with emacs than it does with Windows.

  729. Virt-manager is FOSS so as long as people want to contribute, it won't die. It's mainly that RHEL and it's derivatives are deprecating it. But keep using virt-manager if you want to. I know I plan to still use it.

  730. You know how actors/actresses will often say that "the camera adds about 10 pounds." The camera also takes away hair.
    9
  731. About me being bald? I don't think so.
    9
  732. The terminal is THE red pill!
    9
  733. Awesome, thank you!
    9
  734.  @sudoCss  Spotted that error in editing the video. It's already fixed in the current version of the script and works as expected, where now it only loops if you enter an invalid choice.
    9
  735. Yea, I figured that I better add the translations for the Gen Z crowd. ;)
    9
  736. I had considered awk but check the pinned comment for a python solution that someone posted.
    9
  737. The more LBC support a video has, the better it will be ranked, the more it's promoted. So there is some incentive to use your LBC to stake your own videos, rather than just cashing it out.
    9
  738. Don't sweat it, bro. There was nothing wrong with this video. Just make the content that you want to make, and don't worry too much about whether people will like a video or not, or else you will go crazy. And YouTube's algorithms will surprise you. This video might do poorly now, and in a couple of months will explode...with no rhyme nor reason. Ultimately, as long as you feel good about the video, that's all that matters.
    9
  739. Everyone puts underage Japanese cartoon girls in their thumbnails. It's confusing sometimes because I can't tell one YouTubers thumbnails from the next.
    9
  740. I think we just have to embrace being "the two percent."
    9
  741. Fake news!
    9
  742. Thanks, Rob. Will try it out.
    9
  743. Merry Christmas!
    9
  744. Yes, you can.
    9
  745. At least your editor of choice is still GNU. :D
    8
  746. > If you forget that passphrase you create for your GPG key, you lose your data, period. I stand corrected. I guess I better remember that passphrase. Digging around on the web, if you lose your passphrase...your options are extremely limited. I guess you could try to brute force the passphrase (would take alot of computational power and alot of time) . Probably not a viable solution for most people though.
    8
  747. Upvoting for honesty.
    8
  748. Yep!
    8
  749. >The AUR is like a magical land of everything Yea, when I install a non-Arch based distro on my desktop, I will definitely miss the AUR.
    8
  750. Yea...at that price I'm pretty sure that I paid for shipping.
    8
  751. Way to go, granny!
    8
  752. Way overdue!
    8
  753. The real first.
    8
  754. Yep, using my Kensington Expert.
    8
  755. Thanks, lowrider. And your English is just fine. In fact, had you not told me you weren't a native speaker, I would have thought you were. :D
    8
  756. It's an email client. You pick a message to read, it opens in a split. Hit 'q' to quit out of that split. Want to reply to an email? Hit 'R' for reply. Want to compose a new email? Type 'C' and begin writing. Those commands should cover 99.9% of what most people do in their email.
    8
  757. I only wish I had an appropriate 70s outfit....and maybe a wig. DT with an afro? Would've been epic!
    8
  758. To be honest, I always learn something myself...which is why I like to do these! :D
    8
  759. It's the only way I know to do them. ;)
    8
  760. That's precisely what a bot would say!
    8

    8
  762. The viewer that asked that question might have been drinking.
    8
  763. A strong and respectable decision. :D
    8
  764. First, actually. But if you don't want your 'first' then I'll give it someone else. ;)
    8
  765. Limited software? There are tens of thousands of programs available in most Linux repositories (software centers). Linux has software. Does it have software written to be run only on Windows? No. But then again, Linux-only software wouldn't run on Windows either. But Linux users never complain about that. :D
    8
  766. True. I'm so used to seeing the Discord icon sitting in the systray, I just assumed it had closed.
    8
  767. It won't be locked down. You install any OS you want on it. You can install Windows on it...and play games from Epic's store, if you want. Valve is cool like that.
    8
  768. Used it to tar a roof.
    8
  769. I wouldn't do that! ;)
    8
  770. I installed the Arco Bspwm edition and looked at it on the channel. Didn't tweak it or play with the config at all though. So I've used bspwm but never installed it or config'd it myself.
    8
  771. Thanks, Diemotma.
    8
  772. ^ This guy gets it! :D
    8
  773. Thanks, Toran!
    8
  774. I don't blame you.
    8
  775. Thanks. But the credit for that goes to the folks over on 4chan. It was their suggestion.
    8
  776. That's debatable.
    8
  777. Fake news!
    8
  778. I've got GNOME slated....for 2028.
    8
  779. This can be done a few different ways. For a quick answer, check my .bashrc file in my dotfiles repo on GitLab. You will see a section labelled ### PATH. I use an "if" statement to check if certain directories exist, and if they do, add them to the $PATH. For example, I add the ~/Applications directory, which is the usual directory for AppImages.
    8
  780. The ISO is only 193MB so I'm sure it will be missing a lot of builld tools. And Vim has some dependencies that are usually already present on most Linux distros, but probably will not be there on Peropesis, so you'd have to build those too.
    8
  781. Glad it was helpful!
    8
  782. It is interesting to see Microsoft technology built into a Linux distro. Oh my, have times changed!

  787. Glad it was helpful!
    8
  788. Just "d"?
    8
  789. You can specify a position.
    8
  790. FAKE NEWS! ;)
    8
  791. Great to hear that qtile is here to stay!
    8
  792. Great job on the script. I will certainly be taking a deeper look into this as some point. Also, there are a lot of scripting gurus that will end up watching this video. I'm sure some of them will take a peek at your code and offer suggestions. Again, great job!
    8
  793. i3 is a good place to start. So is awesome. Qtile is another that isn't too tough to get into. Install them, try them out. It won't hurt anything on your system. If you try one and don't like it, install a different one.
    8
  794. Yea....forgot to add the bling.
    8
  795. Sweeeet!
    8
  796. It doesn't matter what instance you or I are on. If you are following me, then you are still following me at my new account.
    8
  797. Thanks for the tip. These worked just fine for me: mouse_callbacks = {'Button1': lambda qtile : qtile.cmd_spawn('dmenu_run')} mouse_callbacks = {'Button1': lambda qtile : qtile.cmd_spawn(myTerm + ' -e htop')}
    8
  798. lol @ the guy with 1,400 videos uploaded calling himself a "casual" YouTuber. :D
    8
  799. Awesome! Can't wait!
    8
  800. I haven't seen his video. I didn't record this video this morning. Heck, I didn't record it this week. I doubt Nick recorded his yesterday either. Most content creators record videos days or even weeks before publishing. Nick and I recording the same video topic is just coincidence. It happens. Had I saw him release his, I might have delayed the release of mine for a week or two, but I didn't catch it. Oh well.
    8
  801. Thanks, Keith. More CLI videos on the way.
    8
  802. Hey, thanks for that! :D
    8
  803. You can't "see" gravity either.
    8
  804. >She actually cried a little after realizing how much easier nano was to work with. lol
    8
  805. Hello
    8
  806. Thanks for the tip. I was sure that going max was probably set to a keybinding but I was too lazy to look it up while recording. I'd probably rebind that myself (super+F seems appropriate). ;)
    8
  807. I could go over that maybe in a future video. Typically, for testing out a window manager, you would use an X11 program called Xephyr. It basically launches a window that contains an instance of your window manager that you are testing.
    8
  808. Confirmed!
    8
  809. Confirmed.
    8
  810. It's perfectly usable. Red Hat is deprecating it. So not an issue for most people.
    8
  811. Yep, had a big update recently.
    8
  812. Red Hat announced a year or so ago that they would deprecate Virt-Manager in favor of Cockpit: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/managing-virtual-machines-rhel-8-web-console
    8
  813. Yea, I didn't even want to get into the VSCode thing. It blurs the lines in such a big way, because if someone wants to build it themselves, it is FOSS. But the prebuilt binaries 99.9% of VSCode users use to install it, are in fact licensed under a proprietary license. Very shady tactics from MS.
    8
  814. Why not just use virtualbox?
    8
  815. The cli AppImage Installer tool has an update function. So you can: cd ~/Applications app update * (assuming you want to check everything for updates)
    8
  816. I did teach...briefly. Thanks, Analog!
    8
  817. Who was joking?
    8
  818. Thanks, Michelle!
    8
  819. Great to hear! Hope you're enjoying Linux...and Doom Emacs!
    8
  820. Yea, you nailed it on what I was trying to do here. I was trying to get past Cinnamon (or any DE that might have been installed here). Once you get past relating so much to the particular DE (and in some cases the particular distro), your view of the Linux ecosystem really changes. Obviously, what I did in this video isn't for everyone. But this didn't make any permanent changes to anyone's system either. People can try it out and see if this kind of workflow fits them. If not, just revert back to the original settings.
    8
  821. Taking Into Account (or a similar style show) will return soon. Maybe before the end of the year. If not, by January for sure.
    8
  822. Bot!
    8
  823. True. Windows is too stable for me. It's like Debian Stable....but with ads. :D
    8
  824. You know me!
    8
  825. Richard Stallman is in a unique position where he both (a) is able to use only free software, and (b) he really has to use only free software due to being the founder of the movement.
    8
  826. Something has gone horribly wrong somewhere. Ever since unplugged everything and moved the sound rack, everything has just been off. Gotta work on that.
    8
  827. Making a note that I need to review more guh-NOME distros. Thanks.
    8
  828. True. I could probably find an Emacs plugin as well. :D
    8
  829. Oh dear God!
    8
  830. I've used nitrogen for years. And yes, I prefer it to feh. A cli program to set the wallpaper is OK, I guess, but a GUI program makes more sense. You can preview all your wallpapers. And nitrogen makes setting the wallpaper super easy, especially on multi monitor systems. I can set a wallpaper for each monitor, set it to scale or center or fullscreen or whatever.
    8
  831.  @twb0109  I have used standard GNU Emacs. It was OK but it did cause me some pain in my hands about a month or so of using it. So I switched to the evil bindings for the sake of my hands. Stumpwm? Eh....no.
    8
  832. The decisions the GNOME devs make are frustrating, to say the least.
    8
  833. No ads right now. But later they plan to offer options for both ad-free paid search and ad-supported free search. Brave has their own ad network so that will be funding this I would assume.
    8
  834. Only tried it with Manjaro so far. And like you, I half-expected it not to work but I said to myself if it doesn't work I'll send it back. But it worked. Also, I'm not on the latest kernel in Manjaro. I always run the LTS kernels.
    8
  835. Yea....I was wrong on that acronym. What I was actually trying to come up with there was Unix System Resources. But that is not right either. The "U" is Universal, not "Unix".
    8
  836. Glad to hear it.
    8
  837. Wow. Love the new lighting.
    8
  838. Confirmed.
    8
  839. Free as in freedom, not free of charge. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
    8
  840. Appreciate that, Vince. But I'm not ruling out more rap videos!
    8
  841. Anything more than a solid color background is bloat! :D
    8
  842. They are quite smooth on my machine.
    7
  843. A program called screenkey. Should be in every Linux distro's repos.
    7
  844. Could be alot of things. Angry Mac fanboy? A scorned lover?
    7
  845. Wish I knew enough about Blender to make my own. Bought the intro....from a site called Introcave. There's a number of sites out there that do some pretty generic intros for cheap. Obviously, for something with a bit more personal touch, you should probably hire a freelancer for that.
    7
  846. Yea but I use Linux so I don;t shy away from a little pain. :D
    7
  847. HAHA! Was thinking..."people gonna watch the first 2 minutes and think DT lost his mind!"
    7
  848. Yea, I guess the only thing I would say is that if someone is using Brave, they would probably be using an adblocker on Chrome/Firefox anyway. But it's not the blocking of ads that is worrisome, it is the replacement of the ads with other ads. That's definitely venturing into some shady areas there.
    7
  849. Thanks for that fantastic blog post! Really informative.
    7
  850. Kinda shocking, right?
    7
  851. "First!" is bloated. Please use "1st!" next time. ;)
    7
  852. No doubt that was my mistake initially. I should have recompiled after updating.
    7
  853. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :D
    7
  854. New camera....just delivered right before I started recording this. So this is a test run for my new Panasonic Lumix G7. :D
    7
  855. Good to know. Will definitely do this.
    7
  856. My guess is more people are realizing the truth. Discord and Zoom are both proprietary. But Zoom actually works. ;) Discord is such a bad product. Horrible audio quality. Garbage video quality. I don't understand why it's popular.
    7
  857. Keep up the great work!
    7
  858. pacman -Q will give you everything installed. pacman -Qqe will give you the explicitly installed list.
    7
  859. Nice! :D
    7
  860. Thank you, sir!
    7
  861. > You would be surprised how many advanced people use Linux Mint Actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I've said forever that distros don't matter (not to the advanced crowd anyway). And I've stated so many times that I personally could run any Linux distro with any DE and make it work. Too many people relate to their distro or to their DE. And I hope to show people how that kind of thinking limits them.
    7
  862. An ambitious project. Will definitely keep following this project.
    7
  863. Like the kids say...idgaf.
    7
  864. Thanks. I'll check it out.
    7
  865. Here is a Perl script that does what you want: https://github.com/Eelis/i3/blob/master/i3-dmenu-desktop Copy that script, make it executable, and use this instead of dmenu_run.
    7
  866. Just play it at 1.5 speed and you have a 30 minute video! :D
    7
  867. We need a vocal coach! :D
    7
  868. I know, right!
    7
  869. Yes.
    7
  870. Ubuntu MATE = carpal tunnel. You've been warned. ;)
    7
  871. You are correct. To the average user, a simple "sudo apt upgrade" should do the trick. :D
    7
  872. It's funny. When I find myself back in vim (say during a command line linux install), it feels so comfy even after all this time away.
    7
  873. Yea, I had been debating this purchase for awhile. I finally decided to purchase it. I'll save the receipt as a tax write off. :D
    7
  874. Should we tell him?
    7
  875. The ZSA Moonlander with Kaihl Copper switches. I use the ZSA ErgoDox with the same switches on my home computer. I don't "need" another keyboard but I really want the Voyager from ZSA. Maybe soon...
    7
  876. You and me both. :D
    7
  877. >Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke... Ledger was clearly referring to POSIX!
    7
  878. If you have XMonad and Pandoc installed anyway (and you really should), then it isn't a problem. ;)
    7
  879. Get off my lawn! :D
    7
  880. Glorious Xmonad. :D
    7
  881. I actually reduced the volume of the intro by 20% for this video from your previous recommendation. I'll take it down a bit more for the next video. Thanks.
    7
  882. I'm not going to use a proprietary web browser when there are so many good FOSS options.
    7
  883. Thanks, Mr. Whole.
    7
  884. I would agree that if you want to run a rolling release distro, then run a rolling release distro (Arch, Gentoo)...not a distro that also has an unstable branch.
    7
  885. Of course! I should have checked the Arch Wiki first! :D
    7
  886. Proprietary poo?
    7
  887. :D
    7
  888. Oh, I forgot about Surf. I will definitely be adding Surf to my imwheelrc. Thanks for reminding me!
    7
  889. >For Mac users, Elementary is a fine choice. Tried that recently and worked really well. Yea, put Elementary on your Macbook and you will be a big hit at your local Starbucks. :D
    7
  890. It's always rice time.
    7
  891. I admit...it's a work in progress. But it seems like a step in the right direction.
    7
  892. Good suggestion about enlightenment. Thanks, Max.
    7
  893. The true first. Thanks for your honesty! :D
    7
  894. Hey, thanks!
    7
  895. Samsung Galaxy 10. With a bit of color grading experimentation in Kdenlive..
    7
  896. Might give it a go. Would be a fun video (or set of videos).
    7
  897. Yea, I'll probably do sort and uniq. Probably throw shuf in there too.
    7
  898. I never want to see the GNOME icon.....ever! :D
    7
  899. They are a fun aspect of these releases.
    7
  900. I'm using CDE on NixOS. Have fun! :D
    7
  901. I'm not a sysadmin and have never been one...so I wouldn't offer any advice on such things. There are plenty of YouTube channels out there that focus on system administration as a profession.
    7
  902. >Elementary isn't really built for customization. That's very true. But it is shocking how many computer users don't change anything on their system....the wallpaper, theme, icons....nothing. As I get older, I find myself just using what is presented on these distros. When I first started with Linux though, I could spend months trying to tweak my configs to be "perfect." :D
    7
  903. heart to boost your comment. :D
    7
  904. What you should consider is converting all those stream links into a dmenu script.
    7
  905. I'm not familiar with the tools that people use to make Debian-based or Ubuntu-based ISOs, but I do remember there being a tool called 'cubic' that allowed people to create custom Ubuntu ISO. So that might be what you're after.
    7
  906. True, but I'm not usually running Bash. Mostly spend my time in Fish and the backslash trick doesn't work there. But 'command' works everywhere. ;)
    7
  907. Good to know! Thanks!
    7
  908. I'm not above doing a little "click bait."
    7
  909. I'm hacking the hell out of GNOME. It will be unrecognizable when I'm finished.
    7
  910. Louisiana.
    7
  911. Can't play the anime card every single video. It would get stale.
    7
  912. Just getting that first cup of coffee. :D
    7
  913. Definitely!
    7
  914. I saw that as well. A new problem I haven't had before. Will have to try to diagnose it.
    7
  915. Well, you're right. I did play the trombone that one time. And I sang the Free Software Song with Richard. And I did that cringe-inducing rap video.
    7
  916. I should get to bspwm....soon. ;)
    7
  917. Well deserved! Keep up the great content.
    7
  918. TrUe
    7
  919. Much appreciated! And I'm feeling fine now, thanks! I recorded this video a few days ago, so my voice still wasn't 100% when I did this one.
    7
  920. SeCoNd, and Sakura ain't bad. Haven't used it in years though. I should look at again.
    7
  921. Le Bon Check out ArchLabs and ArchBang. Both offer great pre-configured Openbox desktops out of the box.
    7
  922. There is Linux-only software out there. Funny enough, I've never heard of a Windows or Mac user complaining about not being able to run all of that Linux software that they've never heard of and know nothing about. Not sure why people try to run Linux and still cling to Windows/Mac software...unless, of course, you are required to use it for work or school, in which case you really should just stick to Windows/Mac.
    7
  923. > Keep using it. How about....no. :D
    7
  924. Ah yes, thanks for pointing that out.
    7
  925. It's something that they want to do but it's a big undertaking. But it's on their roadmap.
    7
  926. CoNfIrMeD BoT
    7
  927. Yea, the "Mail" app is based on Evolution now instead of Geary.
    7
  928. Where is that BAN button....
    7
  929. Pro tip! Thanks.
    7
  930. That's a feature, not a bug. ;)
    7
  931. I love a 'first' comment that doesn't just say 'first'.. :D
    7
  932. I don't own any sunglasses. And they don't actually do anything when you wear them on your head. ;)
    7
  933. It's short and sweet. Like the BSD license. No need to get overly wordy on these things.
    7
  934. Since 'pushd' and 'popd' are shell built-ins, they may or may not be mentioned in the bash manpage. Or in the zsh manpage. If using fish, they do have a manpage for 'pushd' and 'popd.'
    7
  935. I use 95% opacity in compton (or picom): "95:class_g *?= 'emacs'",
    7
  936. Can neither confirm nor deny this.
    7
  937. It comes down to the nature of those programs. mpv is a video player so it has to have proper video acceleration or no one would use it. FF/Chrome are web browsers, not video players. Chrome doesn't seem interested in making this work. And Firefox has such a small and dwindling marketshare that they probably couldn't make this work even if they wanted.
    7
  938. >but it is sorely lacking Yea, I'm already a little disappointed in the lack of configuration as compared to virt-manager.
    7
  939. What you saw could have been just a bit of my video editing skills....ya know, to throw you off! :D
    7
  940. I screwed up in a BIG way on this video. The ISO that I downloaded was 11 months old. Wayyyyyyy too old for a rolling release distro. More recent reviews of Sabayon were much more positive.
    7
  941. Which is what I did. But I launch a dmenu script with the binding so I have some choices rather than just defaulting to just one scrot command.
    7
  942. Haven't played with blur in picom in a long time. But be warned, it will turn your CPU into a thermonuclear reactor. Not something I would recommend out side of setting it up just to make a nice screenshot.
    7
  943. True, Mitchel. I had hair and used a floating window manager until I watched Luke Smith.

  944. > LFS is the masterrace I should do a LFS install for the channel. It could be a video series. A 30-part video series. :D
    7
  945. > but it seems to me that GNU is the same as GNOME... Not the same at all. GNOME is a desktop environment. GNU is a movement. It's a mass collaborative initiative for the development of free software. GNOME was originally part of GNU software (and technically, I guess it still is), but the GNOME is not developed by the GNU team. GNOME has its own foundation lead by a team of angry SJWs that leads its development.
    7
  946. Thanks, Steve!
    7
  947. Thanks, Rocco. At the end of the day, it's all about the workflow!
    7
  948. Will take more than Pulse Audio to get rid of me. :D
    7
  949. Thanks, Paul!
    7
  950. The problem is there are no instructions referring to 'liveinst' anywhere on the Fedora website. Why would I look for instructions on how to launch the GRAPHICAL installer in a terminal? I don't think anyone would look for instructions on launching a GUI app in a terminal. I mentioned that this distro seems more like an automated spin with vanilla i3 thrown on top of Fedora. If this distro has any real devs though, they need to seriously add some documentation. And they need to add an easier to find launcher for the installer, or simply have the installer autostart in the live environment. Or create a simple welcome application that autostarts that points to the docs and the installer.
    7
  951. Not even close.
    7
  952. It's not even in the same league as haskell-mode in emacs. Emacs will tell me that the import I just added isn't necessary, or the variable I set isn't used anywhere in the file, or data type isn't right. I love Vim...moreso than Emacs...but the right tool for the right job. If I were a Haskell dev, then using emacs is a no-brainer.
    7
  953. Congrats! :D
    7
  954. Thank you, sir. Big fan of your channel! Yes, these tilers mostly do the same thing. The main differences is how they do workspaces (each monitor has its own workspaces or are all workspaces shared amongst the monitors), how they treat multi-monitors (with workspace swapping or not) and the programming language that they are written in.
    7
  955. Glad to help! :D
    7
  956. Because a lot of scripts have the shebang as /bin/sh (which will use your default shell) instead of pointing it to a specific shell like /bin/bash. Those /bin/sh scripts will not work with fish because they will use bash-like syntax that fish can't handle. So leave bash as the default and just make your terminal always run fish upon opening.
    7
  957. What's up?
    7
  958. BS = bash script ;)
    7
  959. I'm sorry, Robert, but you are mistaken. Although I do understand the confusion. The Chromium engine that they base their software upon is BSD-licensed. And the source code for THAT is freely available. But the actual parts of Vivaldi that they add on top of Chromium are licensed under a proprietary license, as I go over in the video and you can read the license in the show description. They are being very clever in the wording in that article. Again, I don't fault those that fell for this "Vivaldi is open source" crap. The Vivaldi team are hoping no one is really paying attention with their clever marketing speak.
    7
  960. Shocking you would recommend Peppermint, sir. :D
    7
  961. Sigh.... :D
    7
  962. True first.
    7
  963. Emacs. :D
    7
  964. Hope you like it! And also "first confirmed!" :D
    7
  965. Great 👍
    6
  966. I'm not bald!!!!
    6
  967. Confurmed.
    6
  968. You are not wrong.
    6
  969. Will probably do something more with this VM of Gentoo in the future. Still have to install xorg and whatever desktop environment I choose.
    6
  970. Try it now. dwm-distrotube-git and dwmblocks-distrotube-git no longer have each other listed as dependencies. I think that might have been your issue.
    6
  971. Google doesn't control how much Internet bandwidth is out there. Blame our governments and blame the ISPs.
    6
  972. Smart move, jarkko.
    6
  973. Keep up the great work!
    6
  974. Bloat and Windows is kind of synonymous though.
    6
  975. I did. The pass is **.
    6
  976. I felt the same....and yet....I can't look away from it.
    6
  977. Yea, Snaps automatically create their own mount points so you don't have to fool with them.
    6
  978. Ah yes, it's the one piece of equipment on the rack that is completely pointless. Yet I can't imagine not having it now. :D
    6
  979. Don't worry. I will be on something other than EXWM or Xmonad before Christmas. :D
    6
  980. I may do a shout out for EB if I ever do an episode about mankinis. :)
    6
  981. A new champion!
    6
  982. Glad you got it working. And thanks for posting the solution here. Others will definitely need it! :D
    6
  983. I recently ran into this upgrade situation where I have Ubuntu 18.10 running on a server. And there is no upgrade path because I've waited too long. I've missed the window for upgrading to 19.04 (its EOL). And you can't go from 18.10 to 20.004. So that kinda sucks.
    6
  984. Great to hear!
    6
  985. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSha9Mgympw
    6
  986. So they curate the flathub list? And decided to throw out Discord? NICE! :D
    6
  987. One of the criteria of "open source" according to the OSI is the license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
    6
  988. Thanks! I spent about 2 minutes in Gimp. :D
    6
  989. It's Gentoo with the Calamares installer, systemd, and nicely configured DEs...and they have a minimal install for those who would prefer to just do window manager only. You have the option of using Portage (Gentoo's package manager, compiles software) or you can use Sabayon's package manager Entropy/Equo (binary packages).
    6
  990. That's one way to fix the problem! :D
    6
  991. I'd recommend you start with Vim just to learn the Vim keybindings. Once you are comfortable with the Vim keybindings, try out Emacs with evil mode (Vim keybindings) or use a distro of Emacs like Doom that has evil mode out of the box.
    6
  992. Great suggestion!
    6
  993. A few years ago, me and pretty much most Linux creators were having every single video demonetized as soon as we uploaded. We never got any confirmation, but many of us suspected that the word "linux" was triggering the algorithm.
    6
  994. First confirmed. All other firsts are fake. :D
    6
  995. Thanks, Aurora! :D
    6
  996. There isn't one PPA with all the packages. So not really the same thing.
    6
  997. Haskell masterrace! :D
    6
  998. Yea, I should have noticed that. Definitely removing the (exwm-config-default). Thanks for that!
    6
  999. Heck yea, I need to try to find some 0AD, Wesnoth and Xonotic shirts. The world needs to know about these!
    6
  1000. Been on GitLab a matter of hours. Very nice website with an easy UI. Glad I made the move regardless of what happens with the Microsoft deal.
    6
  1001. Confirmed.! He didn't cheat.
    6
  1002. Nice to hear about the 32 bit images. Looks like I was confused by the language of the release announcement (I think the 64 bit only thing was simply referring to the Steam installer). Also, Distrowatch was only linking me to a 64 bit download.
    6
  1003. I value freedom above feature set. ;)
    6
  1004. Good catch!
    6
  1005. It's like catching a glimpse of Sasquatch in the wild.
    6
  1006. In the tier below "Yuck". :D
    6
  1007. Element Finland Hope you enjoy the channel.
    6
  1008. Thanks, Kyle!
    6
  1009. I've HURD about that kernel.
    6
  1010. Confirmed!!!
    6
  1011. You have a penguin avatar! Of course, you are happy you left Windows! :D
    6
  1012. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers/blob/master/0195.jpg
    6
  1013. No idea. I don't use Office. LibreOffice Impress is not difficult to use though.
    6
  1014. Don't give them any ideas.
    6
  1015. When I was still working a regular job, I had to use a standard keyboard at my work, and of course I had the ErgoDox at home. It took me a few minutes to adjust to each keyboard....for a few weeks. After awhile, I eventually got used to switching and could immediately start using whatever keyboard I was at.
    6
  1016. Confirmed!
    6
  1017. Darknet Matrix I will probably make an in depth video on it in the next few days. But basically, this is Openbox with the tint2 panel and conky. My configss can be found in my github repo (dwt1/dotfiles).
    6
  1018. Thanks, Anzan! :D
    6
  1019. I appreciate that!
    6
  1020. It's changed hands a number of times over the years. Seems like they keep putting out a great product though. I have no opinion on the recent sale.
    6
  1021. Much appreciated!
    6
  1022. Much appreciated Doug!
    6
  1023. I look in the mirror and I don't even recognize myself!
    6
  1024. Wait till she gets a couple of years older and switches to xmonad. They really grow up fast!
    6
  1025. No, click bait is fantastic! So smash that like button....subscribe....share on social media. ;)
    6
  1026. 100% agree. Bspwm is a bit different I could use it out-of-the-box. Was secretly hoping the community would have voted bspwm. But i3 won....i3 it is!
    6
  1027. Confirmed.
    6
  1028. @Allen Ellsworth Are you saying what I think you are saying?
    6
  1029. Hadn't opened the trunk lately, but I don't think there's any corpses in there...right now.
    6
  1030. What are you running now?
    6
  1031. Great point!
    6
  1032. Thanks! :D
    6
  1033. You're welcome
    6
  1034. Absolutely!
    6
  1035. Who doesn't have some qt programs installed? I don't really see things like qt or gtk as dependencies since everyone has them installed anyway.
    6
  1036. Nothing like that on gopher. Video wasn't even considered when the gopher protocol came out in 1991. The hard drives of that era would not hold a single video of mine. And let's not even talk about the Internet speeds back then. :D
    6
  1037. You are so awesome! :D
    6
  1038. "Linux should hurt a little bit." -- DT
    6
  1039. Tails runs off the flash drive. No hard drive is needed. So yes, you can boot into TAILS on a machine with a corrupt hdd.
    6
  1040. No. But bigpod comes from the Windows world so the "dir" habit probably is tough to break. :D
    6
  1041. For the record, I do have hair. Or I should say...I can grow hair.
    6
  1042. Oh my. Please don't do that.
    6
  1043. Glad I could help!
    6
  1044. If only Ubuntu had Arch'es stability!
    6
  1045. Not the best dinner I've ever had. But not the worst either. :D
    6
  1046. I appreciate that. :D
    6
  1047. htop does look sexy with all those cores. :D
    6
  1048. Confirmed.
    6
  1049. No post on this. I rarely do post on the audio unless something is really screwed up.
    6
  1050. Windows has a command line, TOS. It's just not a very good one. ;)
    6
  1051. Am I missing something here? LARBS is a script that installs Arch and i3 with all of Luke Smith's configs, right? Certainly a nifty way for Luke to reinstall when/if the need arises. But why would I install this? I can install Arch and i3 without this script, and I certainly don't want all of Luke's config files--I have my own!
    6
  1052. Confirmed!
    6
  1053. It's so good!
    6
  1054. Style points.. ;)
    6
  1055. True first!
    6
  1056. In some ways, Hannah was way ahead of her time. The world wasn't ready for it back then.
    6
  1057. Confirmed!
    6
  1058. I could.
    6
  1059. But GNU's Not Unix . :D
    6
  1060. I almost suggested the Windows 7 user start with Arch first...but then I was like...nah, that'd be too obvious.
    6
  1061. That's on my "to do" list. ;)
    6
  1062. Technically, you can use any command in a script...but I would always use 'find'' rather than 'ls' when scripting because of it's unpredictable output and the fact that so many people alias 'ls' to other things. For example, my 'ls' is actually the 'eza' command.
    6
  1063. Some of these tiling window managers are so incredibly configurable, it would be near impossible to create a GUI app that allowed you the kind of control you get but writing the config yourself.
    6
  1064. Yep.
    6
  1065. In Linux, we start counting at 0. ;)
    6
  1066. I thought about trying out Qubes but I can't imagine that it wouldn't be a complete s@#% show with all the virtualization and me trying to just get my work done.
    6
  1067. Browsh. j/k Lynx.
    6
  1068. I expected this to be a real challenge though. I knew that going into this. Still....this hasn't been fun. But it has been educational!
    6
  1069. So much prep work went into this! :D
    6
  1070. Is that even still in the plans? Because I haven't heard anything about that in almost a year.
    6
  1071. I try to bring the content that other Linux Youtubers just will not touch. :D
    6
  1072. The big disadvantage of polybar is almost every tiling window manager has a panel that is built into it. Adding an unnecessary third-party panel is bloat. Of course, Xmonad doesn't have a built-in panel so it's fine for this. And for bspwm too. Beyond that though...polybar is more of a headache than it's worth.
    6
  1073. I can't imagine me using another keyboard after having used the ErgoDox. :D
    6
  1074. Tone Loc was fantastic! "Mama said knock you out! Imma gonna knock you out!" :D
    6
  1075. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
    6
  1076. ^^ This guy gets it!
    6
  1077. It looks like it works fine with GUI emacs. BUT...emacs has terminals built into it so typically, emacs users launch emacs and then launch their terminal inside emacs, rather than the other way around.
    6
  1078. This show will be on DTTV....which is cable TV rather than network TV. So it's OK. ;)
    6
  1079. As far as advantages, the fact that config for the distro is a single file written in GNU Guile (a dialect of scheme) is pretty cool. Especially is you wanted to install on multiple machines. Also, the roll back features are nice. Theoretically, it should mean that you can't permanently break your installation.
    6
  1080. Your English is fine. VirtualBox is a Qt application rather than a GTK application, which is why when you change themes in XFCE (it changes GTK theme), it doesn't affect VirtualBox. Install a program called 'qt5ct'. It allows you to set your Qt theme.
    6
  1081. Fake news!
    6
  1082. Hey, thanks!
    6
  1083. No. I need Xorg to do what I do. I'll check in on Wayland once it's ready. Maybe 2035. ;)
    6
  1084. Now why didn't I think of that!
    6
  1085. I see you made bail. :D
    6
  1086. It's all Greek to me. :D
    6
  1087. I can confirm that your FiRsT script is working.
    6
  1088. In your dreams...
    6
  1089. Confirmed!
    6
  1090. cOnFiRmEd!
    6
  1091. >shouldn't really be used for any big projects A window manager is not a big project. Many people imagine it to be more than it is. A window manager just tells Xorg the position and coordinates where a window is placed on the screen. That's it. And Python (or any language) is perfectly suitable for that.
    6
  1092. I have a million things installed on my system thanks to what I do with this YouTube channel. I have something like 10 different window managers installed, for example. And no, I'm not explaining the settings in all of those....not in one video. ;)
    6
  1093. I can't work at The Linux Foundation. I don't own a Mac or have an Adobe subscription. ;)
    6
  1094. Enjoy!
    6
  1095. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
    6
  1096. Even smart people can do dumb things sometimes. Take the KDE developers, for example... <ducks>
    6
  1097. Just got off of the phone with the YouTube CEO. He said "the drive is full."
    6
  1098. The patched version of compton that adds the blur effect is buggy and doesn't work with some programs. Not worth it, imo.
    6
  1099. I must've missed that one. Tell me...how many Pepe The Frog's did he paste into the thumbnail in his video? :D
    6
  1100. LMAO! How did that happen? Dang URL shorteners. Can't trust them!
    6
  1101. It certainly seems to be the case.
    6
  1102. Nice! Well done, Ronnie.
    6
  1103. I hate to break it to you...
    6
  1104. >acknowledge the things that Windows does well (better than Linux) Windows is definitely better than Linux for some things. Spyware, worms, trojans, ransomware....all are much better supported on Windows than Linux. Keyloggers too. Windows actually has a keylogger built into it tracking your key presses. In Linux, you'd have to sideload a keylogger if you wanted one. Windows also has Defender. Linux doesn't even ship with an anti-virus software. Windows is certainly better at some things.
    6
  1105. At least it's not electron! :D
    6
  1106. I'm going to have say....maybe.
    6
  1107. I wonder what swisscows would think about me having deadbeef installed on my system.
    6
  1108. But...the wallpaper is the most important factor when deciding on a distro! :D
    6
  1109. Well done on this distro, sir. Can't wait to see what the future holds for ArchMerge. Keep up the great work!
    6
  1110. No, that kind of extract function has been common in Linux bash configs since I got into Linux 15 years ago. I think I originally got it from an Ubuntu config.
    6
  1111. Ah! Nice catch!
    6
  1112. Gavin Freeborn Thanks!
    6
  1113. Thanks, Chubby.
    6
  1114. Hope it's working out for you..
    6
  1115. I care! Congrats! :D
    6
  1116. The /var/snap dir is still there. It's empty. You can rmdir it though if it bothers you.
    6
  1117. Almost!
    6
  1118. Drugs are bad, kids!
    6
  1119. Yep, it's there. ;)
    6
  1120. Thanks!
    6
  1121. Mac is allowed. It is Unix-based, after all.
    6
  1122. I had a CompuServe account back in the day. Loved it! Ah, I miss the early Internet!
    6
  1123. >not a single one of these toxic people would dare act that way in real life in front of an actual person as for fear of being punched in the face. It's certainly easier to talk trash to someone when they are just pixels on a screen. In real life, I'd throat punch some of these people for saying some of the stuff they do. :D
    6
  1124. I have looked at it. But it seems that development on it has really slowed down.
    6
  1125. The i3 Manjaro is much better. For an awesome Awesome distro, check out Arco's awesome edition.
    6
  1126. Nah, I have a lot of will power.
    6
  1127. Takes most people years to realize how bad GNOME is. ;)
    6
  1128. I hate PulseAudio. But audio on Linux was a problem before Pulse. So people don't "hate" on Pulse the way they do systemd, because...what's the alternative to Pulse? Pure Alsa? Good luck with that!
    6
  1129. Good stuff, Jim. Thanks.
    6
  1130. Really? Please don't link to it. I'm feeling weak right now.
    6
  1131. There is a massage therapist in an office down the hall from my office. Sometimes, when he's cracking someone's back or whatever, I end up with some interesting screams that bleed through the mic.
    6
  1132. :D
    6
  1133. A completely different kind of platform that requires you to setup your own instance of PeerTube and store your videos (which would be very expensive). It's why it's never caught on and probably never will.
    6
  1134. Nah....just switch over to tty2 and open the Gentoo wiki in the "links" web browser. But yea...I'd probably use my phone. :D
    6
  1135. Yea, doas is perfectly fine. The BSD's all use it.
    6
  1136. How is quoting the man himself "false"? And I'm not his enemy. And I think people should be aware of his views regarding children.
    6
  1137. Been using it for a couple of days. Haven't noticed any major issues....yet.
    6
  1138. Arco Linux. They have a Qtile edition if that's what you are after. ;)
    6
  1139. Using sxhkd on window manager that manages keybindings...well, that's just bloat. ;)
    6
  1140. Window managers don't "connect" you to wifi. Window managers just manage windows. To enable NetworkManager....open a terminal and type: sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager --now
    6
  1141. Agreed. Xmonad is cool, and I know a little Python too. :D
    6
  1142. Doom Emacs has some custom functions built into it: sudo-find-file (SPC f u) - opens the find-file prompt as root sudo-this-file (SPC f U) - opens your current file as root sudo-save-buffer (SPC b u) - saves current file as root
    6
  1143. Well, to be fair.....nothing in this video was "hard." Maybe a bit tedious.
    6
  1144. Use "lsblk" to find the external drive (ex. /dev/sdxY). Then mount it: $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdxY Make sure you have the following in your ranger rc.conf: "map gm cd /run/media" -- By default this is se to /mount I think. Change it. Now when you are in ranger, "gm" takes you to the /run/media directory where your drive is mounted.
    6
  1145. It's the exception, not the rule. ;)
    6
  1146. The window manager config is specifically for logging into THAT window manager, not all window managers. So that's a difference. Other than that, it could accomplish the same thing. I tend to just use my window manager configs for all autostart stuff because I'm almost always have some programs that I will only want to launch for that window manager anyway, like a certain panel or systray or helper apps etc. So if I'm going to have to have an autostart section to the window manager config anyway, I might as well put everything there.
    6
  1147. Thanks, Renard. Was a bit complicated but l like that literally everything about this window manager--from the widgets on the screen and the window decorations to keybindings and tiling functions--is configurable by the user. I just wish there was better documentation on FVWM.
    6
  1148. Will check it out!
    6
  1149. You are first to say "first" but does that count? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    6
  1150. Rewrite that in elisp.

  1151. Well, once I'm able to talk to a real human being that works for YouTube, the only request I will have is for an explanation why two of my Qtile videos are demonetized and have "over 18+" restrictions for viewing. I mean, really?!
    6
  1152. Maybe I oversold the "Linux just works" line. But the point I was trying to make stands. When it comes to hardware support, clearly Linux > Mac.
    6
  1153. My terminal is rated PG-13 after doing this video.
    6
  1154. Just Skype for Web. You can use the desktop client on Linux. And the Android version on ChromeOS.
    6
  1155. Drinnking a cup of coffee. I feel like I need it!
    6
  1156. Couldn't slide that one past you, huh? :D
    6
  1157. No, but I do plan on working on a new rap album soon.
    6
  1158. Just accept it already. :D
    6
  1159. git clone https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers.git
    6
  1160. Confirmed.
    6
  1161. It's not free and open source. So no.
    6
  1162. Very cool!
    6
  1163. What is the word is that makes him mad? I'll try to use it more! :D
    6
  1164. Glad it was helpful!
    6
  1165. Is OldTechBloke bald? Now that I think about it, he always wears a hat. Hmm...
    6
  1166. I need a new name to be a rapper. "Derek" won't work. I'm thinking of changing my name to "D-Dawg".
    6
  1167. I'll have to take your word on that. ;)
    6
  1168. No need to expand on the other widgets. Just add them to the bar to see them in action. It takes seconds. I might cover multiple monitors on a future video. And the unicode character is just a left arrow ⯇ so just copy and paste this. ;)
    6
  1169. It was raining. ;)
    6
  1170. Depends on the language. Haskell is a compiled language, so you'd have to compile it with the Haskell compiiler (ghc). Running 'ghc -dynamic program.hs' should work. Python is an interpreted language so no need to compile. Just run your python script as you would any other script. Chmod it and then: python program.py
    6
  1171. Wasn't quick. That's for sure.
    6
  1172. As Andrew just posted in the comments, I was mistaken by the "64 bit only" comment. They do offer 32 bit images.
    6
  1173. What's 4chan?
    6
  1174. I tend to do productive things with my time so depending on the type of site, it's not that weird that I don't know about it.
    6
  1175. But I will check it out on Ubuntu for you just to make sure. ;)
    6
  1176. I try to pronounce these names as their creators intended. GNU = guh-NEW = GNU IS NOT UNIX GNOME = guh-NOME = GNU Network Object Model Environment The GNOME project uses"guh-NOME" as the pronunciation due to the G in GNOME standing for GNU (guh-NEW).
    6
  1177. If you didn't want to install Doom Emacs then (after cloning the repo) edit the pkglist.txt and remove 'emacs' and 'dtos-doom'. Then edit the dtos.sh script and delete the Installing Doom Emacs section. Then run the script.
    6
  1178. Great tip. Thanks for posting.
    6
  1179. I had this issue on one of my machines. Remove the xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-destktop-portal-gnome, and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gtk. Those were the culprits for me.
    6
  1180. Nice. In fact, just typing ".." without the cd works! :D
    6
  1181. Yes, I never moved to Vista.
    6
  1182. If you install the ArcoLinux Xtended edition, you can select multiple window managers to install and try out. ;) That said, if you want to try them one at a time, try awesome first. It's very comfy.
    6
  1183. And so it begins...
    6
  1184. Of course, everyone is going to say they knew what it was all along....now that OpenSUSE went and told you!

  1185. The best herbs are those Amazonian herbs.

  1190. The FOSS community really knows how to name their projects.
    5
  1191. It does the first one. I'm not sure why anyone would have something else playing in mpv while listening to ambient noise though. But I might address this in a future update. Not tonight though. I'm about to play some 0 A.D. and then off to bed.
    5
  1192. Not really open source.
    5
  1193. Budgie and MATE are solid. Take care, Lemmark.
    5
  1194. Haha! That's what I'm saying. Just open a terminal and you are already a member of Anonymous.
    5
  1195. Firejail is on my video todo list.
    5
  1196. You are probably right. :D
    5
  1197. No, you aren't doing any mining. But it is an electron app. :D You also are storing some data on your computer, sharing content and helping the LBRY network. If you don't want to do this, then you can just view LBRY at lbry.tv in your browser.
    5
  1198. Your neovim config is more like a novel. :D
    5
  1199. Let's not jump to conclusions! :D
    5
  1200. Just alias "apt purge" to "dd". :D
    5
  1201. Not necessarily. I use a tiling window manager so having three separate monitors (which are also three different workspaces) makes sense. With a ultrawide monitor, I'd either be stuck with it being just one workspace or have to play with the settings to divided the screen up into two or three faux monitors. Also, I record my desktop (usually just one monitor) and I really wouldn't want to do that on a ultrawide. Just looks bad on video with those ugly black bars.
    5
  1202. Doing my own distro is not something I would like to do. A lot of work in building a distro and a lot or work in supporting it. No thanks. :D That said, if I were to do this...I'd do something different the rest of the crowd. How about an Arch-based or Debian Sid-based distro...with 5 different tiling WMs installed and pre-config'd. Yea, I like that idea!
    5
  1203. Glad it was helpful!
    5
  1204. You can set window rules to do exactly that (open a program on a certain workspace and switch to that workspace).
    5
  1205. Good tip! In past videos, I also have used ffplay (ffmpeg) which should be available on most systems.
    5
  1206. It would seem so.
    5
  1207. Check the 'wallpapers' repo on my GitLab. This wallpaper is 0142.jpg. ;)
    5
  1208. I make YouTube videos. I don't spend all day researching other people's problems. otherwise I would never get anything done in life. You will get much better (and much faster) help by asking such questions in the proper places....like at the Haiku site. There are likely hundreds of people that use Haiku waiting to help you there., instead of asking one random person on YouTube who made a video about Haiku a year ago. Best of luck.
    5
  1209. DO NOT GO THIS ROUTE: I installed the KDE version because I planned on living in Manjaro KDE for awhile to review on this channel. Eventually wanted to ditch KDE, so I removed KDE and all it's dependencies in the terminal and installed Openbox. Not the best way to go to get Openbox. If they have an LXDE version, grab that! It will have Openbox already installed since it's the WM in LXDE.
    5
  1210. Great to hear!
    5
  1211. Confirmed!
    5
  1212. Not THAT blue pill!
    5
  1213. If you are on Debian/Ubuntu: apt list --installed (lists everything installed) apt list --manual-installed (lists explicit installed)
    5
  1214. The only "bloat" part of installing XMonad is that you have to install GHC (the Haskell compiler). The Haskell compiler is about 300M in size, not a huge program, but not tiny either. But many programs require the compiler for their language to be installed on you computer. The thing with Haskell is that most people don't already have Haskell installed...so they claim it's BLOAT! I'd argue that if you don't have Haskell installed, then you are missing out on some FANTASTIC programs: - xmonad, xmobar - pandoc (works on Windows, Mac, Linux and is a standard!) - shellcheck (if you do any shell scripting, you NEED this program!) - git-annex - movie-monad - darcs (version control system and alternative to git) And so many more!
    5
  1215. Yea, converting about 600 posts on wordpress to markdown wasn't too bad. I just exported the posts database, and with about 5 minutes of playing with some macros in vim, it was converted. The problem was I still had to open each markdown file and add a couple of fields that weren't in my wordpress posts (namely a link to a thumbnail, and tags). But still only about 10 hours of work just getting those converted to my liking.
    5
  1216. I might take a look at that.
    5
  1217. Richard, is that you? :D
    5
  1218. It does opening emacs the way I did it in this video...with the command "emacs". What users of emacs typically do is run the emacs daemon and then launch emacs with "emacsclient". It's quite a bit faster to open.
    5
  1219. Thanks, mate. Take care, my friend.
    5
  1220. Yea, I figured I'd add Hannah, Beiber, and Ubuntu Satanic Edition to the thumbnail. Just as an homage to the great distros of the past. :D
    5
  1221. Good catch. Still crazy that it was 1.6G in the graphical sys monitor.
    5
  1222. Sure. Where I pipe things into dmenu, just change it to pipe into rofi.
    5
  1223. Confirmed!
    5
  1224. GNU Nano is just a stop gap until you get GNU Emacs installed. ;)
    5
  1225. This isn't an official Ubuntu derivative. Linux Lite is just based on Ubuntu...but not an official spin of Ubuntu.
    5
  1226. Ah, gotcha.
    5
  1227. Doing everything with hardware is nice and saves a bit of time not having to do software processing.
    5
  1228. I've played with Reaper. It's a fine product. Played with Ardour a bit. Even the filters in OBS itself are quite usable. But doing this with hardware does have some advantages. Like I distro hop a lot. I don't have to worry about if the software I want to use is available on that distro. My mics will still sound the same as before I hopped. I like having physical knobs and sliders. Less clutter on my monitors without having a bunch of software open. Less overhead on the computer. Power consumption? Might be an issue for some if they have this stuff running 24/7. But I turn the Furman power conditioner on...when I want to record. I turn it off when I'm done. So that's not an issue for me. If you're fine with software compression, by all means, use it. I was happy with it myself. But I won't miss using those software tools either.
    5
  1229. So that's a good score? Nice!
    5
  1230. Might be an option on some machines. But on some servers, ssh is your only way in. Might be a bad idea to just disable ssh altogether.
    5
  1231. Only Microsoft can answer these questions.
    5
  1232. Confirmed
    5
  1233. Suckless fanboys will be triggered by this. :D
    5
  1234. Snaps are the big reason so many of those proprietary programs are available in the software center. Not sure I'd recommend people to disable snaps.
    5
  1235. That's strange. I don't recognize your name and it doesn't seem like you've ever commented on any of my videos before. But regardless, from the comment you have left, I can see that you really value "positivity" and "having an upbeat attitude." Obviously, me with my wild and crazy mood swings, and many times just being ruled by my emotions while on camera...yes, I can see your point. Good luck on your Linux journey, Susan.
    5
  1236. Hey Francisco!
    5
  1237. Appreciate that! :D
    5
  1238. I'll take any luck I can get. And coffee. Lots of coffee..
    5
  1239. All the Ubuntu flavors will have a new LTS released in April (these will get support for 5 years). Mint is a fine choice too. Might also consider Linux Lite and PeppermintOS. But more important than the distro itself is desktop environment. WIth only 1G of RAM, I would probably use LXDE. I've used LXDE on machines that were 12 years old and it ran like it was a new computer.
    5
  1240. Make the most? Of what? Your site is your site. Post what you feel like posting. Don't worry if anyone ever reads it or not. In Gemini, there is no analytics so you'll never really know if your site is popular or not....which is another plus!
    5
  1241. Not a bad looking distro.
    5
  1242. So would I but I've tried to run some of the FSF-approved distros on my production machine and it really doesn't like those distros. :(
    5
  1243. Yea, when I ran "uname -r" in the terminal, I swear the room started smelling just like my grandma's house.
    5
  1244. I'm not certain that the BSD license and the GPL license are compatible. The FSF/GNU/RMS will never endorse something that is not compatible with the GPL.
    5
  1245. @G Really? That's awesome! Makes sense that the command has "switch" as an argument.
    5
  1246. That's what BunsenLabs. They write a few custom scripts and some custom Openbox pipemenus. But it's Debian with Openbox, tint2 and conky.
    5
  1247. I knew you were going to say that. :D
    5
  1248. Why limit yourself? :D
    5
  1249. And to you, sir!

  1251. The ideals of the Free Software Movement aren't tied to any political or religious ideology, and if you look at the community, you will find left-wing political activists that are staunch FOSS advocates, and right-wing political activists that are FOSS advocates. There are religious people that find FOSS appealing to their cause, and there are atheists that find FOSS appealing. And this is the beauty of FOSS. The licensing does not prescribe who can or cannot use the software, or for what purpose the software can or cannot be used for. FOSS transcends ideology.
    5
  1252. What's the saying? Three's a crowd.
    5
  1253. >Honestly dude don't you think you are a bit overreacting? Microsoft has a history of being horrible. Yea, I could stay on GitHub and "hope" that they have changed there ways. Or just move on to another git host--and that seems like the sensible thing to do.
    5
  1254. That is the Moonlander. I've done videos on the ErgoDox and the Moonlander. In fact, I'm thinking about doing a video on my experiences with both of them soon.
    5
  1255. There are "free as in freedom" mobile operating systems, but I doubt Apple makes it possible to do so. They don't even want you to be able to install another OS on their computers. You seem to want to give Apple a pass on this. Apple is the one that makes their devices so they can't run anything else.
    5
  1256. Will check it out. Thanks.
    5
  1257. First, do you use Arch? :D
    5
  1258. You already know where I'm going with this! :D
    5
  1259. If you are talking about GNOME....yea, I did it. And I hate it! :D
    5
  1260. GNU Guix checks all of those boxes.
    5
  1261. 12 core / 24 thread. GET IT RIGHT! :D
    5
  1262. Can you monetize your own instance of Mastodon? Like put ads on it? Not sure why you couldn't....but keep in mind...why would anyone choose to use your Mastodon instance just to be bombarded with ads. If you are worried about hosting costs, I would just add a link to a Patreon page so people can donate to cover the hosting.
    5
  1263. Confirmed. Always wanted to say this to you! :D
    5
  1264. Now, where did I put that "ban" button... ;)
    5
  1265. I'm using the fish shell. It remembers everything you've ever done in it and it becomes almost psychic in its ability to predict what I want. :D
    5
  1266. Hey, thanks!
    5
  1267. Emoji support is a big thing for Luke. He would LOVE emacs! ;)

  1270. >Unsubscribed! Best of luck!
    5
  1271. It's why I keep that shirt in the rotation! :D
    5
  1272. You don't need to be connected to the Internet to use ollama, but you do need to be connected to download the language models that you want to use.
    5
  1273. Yea, it's definitely a nice terminal emulator. Not sure if I will switch to it permanently but I'm glad I finally gave it a look. As far as Hugo goes, I eventually need to look at switching from markdown to org-mode for Hugo....just because. :D
    5
  1274. I don't know anything about VSCode. But in Emacs there is a program called TRAMP that lets you do remote connections. So you can ssh into a server and edit files from Emacs on your local machine. For a simple edit of a remote file, you can run find-file in Emacs (C-x C-f in standard Emacs, SPC-f-f in Doom Emacs) and then type: /scp:user@host:/path/to/file
    5
  1275. No, but I have tried using 'nu' shell as my primary shell before. It's got some powershell-like features to it. Try it out.
    5
  1276. Awesome! I need org in my email!
    5
  1277. I'm doing as well as can be expected in such a crazy year. Hope all is well with you, sir.

  1284. Depends on the filling. If it includes rice and/or beans as part of the filling, it's a burrito in my eyes.
    5
  1285. It's worth trying both dwm and awesome. Both are good and awesome was originally a fork of dwm. If you want suckless, go dwm. If you want "everything and the kitchen sink included", then awesome is what you want.
    5
  1286. Even if I don't personally like it, the old "Windows" paradigm appeals to most people though. So I can see why Cinnamon is popular. KDE is a bit of a different animal. It can mimic Windows. I can mimic MacOS. It can mimic Unity. Heck, you delete the panels and use a right-click menu similar to Openbox. So I give KDE credit on being by far the most customizable desktop environment. My biggest criticism of these traditional "Windows" type desktops is that XFCE and LXQt do the traditional desktop very well--and are MUCH lighter on resources.
    5
  1287. I typically use Ubuntu LTS Server for web servers if available since Ubuntu does make a lot things easier, such as setting up the LAMP stack. Otherwise, Debian is just fine too.
    5
  1288. Why did I not think of that name!
    5
  1289. Xmonad.

  1290. You are the first to say first...if that makes you feel better. :)

  1292. Be sure to have your pet spayed or neutered.
    5
  1293. Thanks, Muhammed. Sounds like Windows just keeps getting better.
    5
  1294. Not unless Deepin offers an ARM-based version of their distro (I suspect not). Even if Deepin had an ARM image, no way would the Deepin Desktop run well on the underpowered pi.
    5
  1295. As the kids say: the struggle is real. :D
    5
  1296. Don't mind most of those. The crash reporting programs serve a purpose. And popcon is installed in Debian. No one is concerned that Debian is doing anything untoward with the information gathered by popcon, but people assume Canonical must be up to something nefarious using it. The Amazon link--I'm not a fan of.
    5
  1297. Well deserved, sir.
    5
  1298. Thanks.
    5
  1299. Way ahead of you there.
    5
  1300. Sadly, there is nothing like the "Additional Drivers" program in Fedora. So installing something like proprietary video drivers involves running a command from the terminal. Not a difficult process but it is unfortunate that (in 2017) some distros are still not that user-friendly when it comes to driver installs.
    5
  1301. Assuming you often use different DEs/WMs, then you probably don't want to automatically startx, which means you have to type it every time, and it will be a longer command because you will need to specify which window manager. It's just more of a hassle than it needs to be. But I often switch between window managers, moreso than most people do.
    5
  1302. No one wants to bother with encryption for email. Too much hassle. You have to encrypt each individual email, and everyone you share that email with has to have the key. Not feasible for most people. But I guess in some situations, encryption is OK.
    5
  1303. No. This isn't Linux running Wine. ReactOS is its own unique OS written from scratch.

  1310. >I was wondering why not use ranger cause most of the people use that. Most people use Ubuntu. Should I run Ubuntu? Most people probably use GNOME. Should I run GNOME too? As far as why vifm compared to nnn...vifm uses vim commands. I know those commands. The commands in nnn are not intuitive at all and would take some effort to learn. And what is the payoff for that? What am I getting in nnn that I don't get in vifm?

  1311. Congrats!

  1312. I too typically pipe with spaces. It's just easier to read.

  1313. Of course, it was an intern. They are easy to throw under the bus.
    5
  1314. Serious, never heard of them. But will subscribe to their channel. And it's not too unusual of a coincidence. Happens all the time really. There are a lot more people out there doing Linux-y content then what most people realize. Also, you got to take into account how much prep goes in to video and podcasting. I started using Nu Shell 2 days ago preparing for this video. The Changelog guy probably recorded his podcast a few days before actually publishing it. Seems weird. But not the first time I've released a video within hours (or even minutes) of someone else doing the same topic (sometimes really obscure topics too). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    5
  1315. It's bad enough that people call "first" when they're not first. Now, I got people calling "second" when they aren't even second! 😜

  1317. Never compile a web browser when there's a binary available. It saves you hours!
    5
  1318. The GUI is electron. The terminal app...is nodejs. Pick your poison. ;)
    5
  1319. To be fair, I had just opened the software center and ran an update. Unusually high CPU is usually a sign that the package manager is doing something. So I didn't want to dwell on that considering I had just ran that update.
    5
  1320. Check out my video on the browser plug-in Tabliss, for Firefox and Chrome based browsers.
    5
  1321. That works too if you can clamp at the back of your desk. Many desks don't have a lip to clamp to though. Some desks have a straight back. I have two desks myself that I can't add a clamp to the back.
    5
  1322. The site isn't really dependent on GitLab. I just use GitLab to host the source code.

  1323. lol
    5
  1324. Ah, thanks. I found the default sxhkd file. Now it's time to play!
    5
  1325. Thank you, sir. Felt like doing something a bit...different. :D
    5
  1326. Yes. The MIT is so free that it allows users to close source the code if they wish. The GPL restricts such immoral actions.
    5
  1327. Hadn't heard of that one. But a lot of the window managers I haven't covered by now are really "obscure" window managers. Sometimes you guys recommend me window managers that I can't even get installed. But hopefully this isn't one of those. Will add it to my "todo list". Thanks.
    5
  1328. Added yet another 9. Not a good sign. :(
    5
  1329. Thanks! 😃
    5
  1330. Uh...I only use Lightdm. And a display manager is just a place to enter user/pass. What do we need to talk about?

  1332. Yea. Youtube seems to be broken sometimes.
    5
  1333. Best thing to do with a bully...punch him square in the nose!
    5
  1334. LXQt is a bit lighter than XFCE. It uses the Openbox window manager (which I love) and doesn't look half bad.
    5
  1335. Guys...say hello Dr. Josephson. My shrink.
    5
  1336. >which is why you seek 'safety' in the alt right Wait, what? Doc, have you been drinking this evening?
    5
  1337. Not that kinda curse! :D
    5
  1338. The sheet music is in the public domain. The performances are not though. If the Vienna Philharmonic records Beethoven's Fifth and puts out a CD, they don't own that written music, but their recording is absolutely theirs. And yes, I would get an almost immediate copyright strike from YouTube's bots.
    5
  1339. One of my favorites. I've mentioned his channel in the past. I know Luke Smith has mentioned. Gotbletu was doing cli vids way before it was cool.
    5
  1340. That may be true for some distros, but Bodhi is pretty different than Debian or any of the official Ubuntu flavors.
    5
  1341. My pleasure. :D
    5
  1342. Nice! It's like catching a glimpse of Bigfoot. No one will believe me! :D
    5
  1343. I like doing chest, shoulders and biceps together; and abs, back and triceps together. ;) Pro tip: Never skip leg day.
    5
  1344. Arch is super-user-friendly compared to BSD.
    5
  1345. This script needs to be able to run in a tty. After all, it is mainly an Arch Linux post-installation script.
    5
  1346. The advantage for me to use 'xargs' was to highlight another command in the video. :D
    5
  1347. I might go over the panel in awesome in a future video. Would make sense to do so since I did a video on qtile's panel.
    5
  1348. And I will continue to showcase it occasionally on this channel. Too many Linux users have never heard of this excellent window manager.
    5
  1349. I just use the standard packages from the Arch repos. I have never had anything break. Well, you do (of course) need to recompile xmonad every time there is an update to it or to the Haskell libraries. But that's easy enough. Just add a hook to Pacman to always recompile after a xmonad/Haskell update.
    5
  1350. Said with such exuberance!
    5
  1351. Just set that up. May take a little time before it shows. But my YouTube channel page has been verified with Brave for some time, so that might be an option for you.
    5
  1352. Thanks! :D
    5
  1353. Was going to use VLC as an example but I already had it installed. :D
    5
  1354. St is pretty solid.
    5
  1355. Not even close.
    5
  1356. I like the way xmonad (and qtile) handle multi monitors. All workspaces are shared across all monitors. When you switch a workspace on one monitor, it will swap places with where it was at on one of the other monitors. Kinda weird behavior at first, but once you get used to it, it makes perfect sense and you wonder why all WMs don't do this.
    5
  1357. Thanks for listening!
    5
  1358. Notepad++? We have a million editors (and good editors) on Linux. We don't need Notepad++.
    5
  1359. Not an insult. As long as you aren't one of those "Hey, Siri" people. Those people deserve to be insulted.
    5
  1360. I wasn't going back and re-recording the intro. I am lazy that way.
    5
  1361. Looks good and uses less resources than XFCE and LXDE.
    5
  1362. I'm sure MX would be fine on this machine.
    5
  1363. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzVgr0mxBfI
    5
  1364. Try the AppImage maybe? :D
    5
  1365. I plan to do a video on mu4e soon. So many Emacs things to cover eventually. But I try to space them out so it's not all Emacs all the time.
    5
  1366. The Suckless guys don't believe in documentation.
    5
  1367. Qtile is certainly worth taking a look at.
    5
  1368. Cringe.
    5
  1369. I'm sure he packaged those just as example pacscripts....not because they were needed on Ubuntu.
    5
  1370. Is that a question or a statement of fact?
    5
  1371. Thanks, Rocco!
    5
  1372. Confirmed!
    5
  1373. May do some of that. Now that I have this VM setup to this point, I can clone it a few times to show how to install GNOME, KDE, XFCE, Openbox, i3, etc. on it.
    5
  1374. You misunderstood. I mentioned that the Sunday Zoom chats...I might stop doing those every Sunday. To focus more on other things...like tutorials and distro reviews.
    5
  1375. >do you thinks arch or gentoo good for beginner :D ? No. Just no.
    5
  1376. This was on Hangouts. I thought about doing a screen share but Serge knows the install process by heart so all I needed to do was mention the screen I was on.
    5
  1377. CoNfIrMeD
    5
  1378. Yea, I've had a few people ask for this one. Nitrux seems to be gaining popularity.
    5
  1379. Might take a look at it at some point.
    5
  1380. > there's a problem... >...im using ratpoisonwm We found your problem! ;)
    5
  1381. Promoting a dead distro won't work. DW would just stop tracking the hits to that distro altogether...because why not!
    5
  1382. Linux 2.0 came out in like 1996. We are on 5.x these days. ;)
    5
  1383. No regrets. Love it.
    5
  1384. Time to file a bug report! P.S. It's possible that I knew about this behavior beforehand and entered a "different" password than my usual...just to throw everyone off. ;)
    5
  1385. Arco is a great distro and they do a nice Openbox.
    5
  1386. Never done it but... https://letsencrypt.org/docs/certificates-for-localhost/
    5
  1387. I'm aware of that. But upon first trying it, how would I know that 'lol' doesn't actually place a binary /usr/bin (which is what 'snap' does).. Maybe this is something that the 'lol' dev should consider doing.
    5
  1388. Yes, there is an error in the config. GitLab is currently down but I will push a fix as soon as the site is back up. For now though, remove the line in the Org section that reads something like (diminish org-indent).
    5
  1389. I tried to switch to GhostBSD. Oh boy....was that a mistake! :D
    5
  1390. I'll try to be more mindful of 4K support in the future.
    5
  1391. Hmmm....should I break the news to him?
    5
  1392. I'm sure I will be happy in AntiX. But I don't often find a distro that I can't be happy in. Take care, ShaTer.
    5
  1393.  @topherfungus8424  I pushed a new version of the notify-log script that removes out the "sender-pid" line altogether. I also have removed the DATE portion of the script until I can figure a way to get it to work as expected.
    5
  1394. So many distros are just that.
    5
  1395. Thanks, Pablo.
    5
  1396.  @sy-uu3hz  Kaihl Coopers actually
    5
  1397. Great point!
    5
  1398. Love Siduction. :D
    5
  1399. I have used Teamviewer years ago due to needing it for work. There are plenty of FOSS solutions to remote into a machine though, so I don't need Teamviewer.
    5
  1400. Because Emacs is an environment that you can live in. Vim is just a text editor.
    5
  1401. It would compile faster but I was curious how long it would take to compile the generic kernel. Apparently, it takes a REALLY long time if you edit the wrong make.conf file. (see pinned comment)
    5
  1402. Pay to watch? That's not good. Oh, I'm not interested in using another proprietary service for my videos. I'm looking for FOSS alternatives to YouTube....like LBRY.
    5
  1403. Openbox won't affect KDE at all. Openbox is one program...not a bajilllion programs which is the case with the full GNOME DE.
    5
  1404. Thanks, Tim!
    5
  1405. Because I have Arco installed.
    5
  1406. It will prove one thing...the rankings are easily manipulated and should be disregarded.
    5
  1407. Sounds like a reasonable and stable thing to do.
    5
  1408. I use Virt-Manager: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d_b_91YlU But Virtualbox is easier for the new user to setup. And Virtualbox is cross-platform where Virt-Manager is Linux-only.
    5
  1409. Congrats! :D
    5
  1410. Hey hey! :D
    5
  1411. Or control-z to "undo" in a lot of programs. Yes, it's a problem.
    5
  1412. I guess I should I mentioned that. I thought it was obvious that the timer wouldn't just killed the presentation. It's more of a guide to let you know you need to speed up or slow down your presentation.
    5
  1413. I'm hating lisp. Or more appropriately said... (I'm (hating (lisp)))
    5
  1414. > But being an elite dangerous player.... LOL. This made me chuckle. :D
    5
  1415. Do a search for "Free Software Song." That is THE anthem for GNU slash Linux.
    5
  1416. That's a feature, not a bug! :D
    5
  1417. Yes, 'exa' is dead and now lives on as 'eza'.
    5
  1418. Not home at the moment. But I will push it to my GitLab this evening when I get home.
    5
  1419. Ask the waiter for a spork.
    5
  1420. True story.
    5
  1421. I have planned on covering some Emacs multimedia players, including a radio player, in the future. ;)
    5
  1422. The last time I tried DTOS on Endeavour, the installation failed because DTOS tried to install 'yad' and Endeavour has their own custom version of 'yad' called 'yad-eos'. So either remove 'yad-eos' before running the script OR remove 'yad' from the pkglist.txt before running the script.
    5
  1423. yes!
    5
  1424. Yes you are!
    5
  1425. The Beach Boys once sang....."Go, Granny, Go!"
    5
  1426. RSS is already there. I just need to edit the template to show you the link. Whatever directory you are in, add index.xml to the end of it: https://www.distrotube.com/videos/index.xml
    5
  1427. Shhh. Don't tell these people that I will offer support. I already too many people private messaging me on Facebook asking me all kinds of support questions. What am I, the Geek Squad?
    5
  1428. I have a threadripper so I might not be the best person to ask. But it isn't taxing my cpu much.
    5
  1429. True first!
    5
  1430. It's really not bad. I actually played around with the previous version of NomadBSD (but never did anything on camera with it).
    5
  1431. Out of respect to the developers, I try to pronounce these names as they would. Except "herbstluftwm"...think I'll just shorten that to something more manageable...."herbs" perhaps.
    5
  1432. Well, Windows support is a billion dollar industry. I guess there is one good thing that comes from Windows lack of stability--it creates a lot of jobs.
    5
  1433. I appreciate that!
    5
  1434. It certainly seems so.
    5
  1435. You should care! First is a real achievement. Don't let the haters tell you otherwise! :D
    5
  1436. It takes time for LBRY to pull this video from Youtube. I noticed my last video, it was on LBRY within 2 hours. This one seems to be taking a bit longer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    5
  1437. It's so rare to see a "first" that is actually the first. Congrats!
    5
  1438. Actually, everything i showed in this video works in Doom Emacs. But I didn't want to demonstrate "Vim stuff" inside "Emacs". That would have been against the rules. ;)
    5
  1439. >Looking back over the past 3 years, what are some of the areas where distros have drastically improved ? In the past few years, driver support has improved drastically. Wifi used to be a real problem on Linux. These days, wifi just works...most of the time. The open source video drivers are so much better these days too. >Is 2018 the year of Linux ? Are we talking "Year of the Linux Desktop"? Then, no. There will never be a Year of the Linux Desktop. That ship has sailed. Desktop computing isn't coming back. Everyone is on mobile now. I have no thoughts on gaming (not really a gamer). Or Wayland.
    5
  1440. 🎉 Congrats!
    5
  1441. Ah, I see what you are saying. When you bring the cursor back to the window, you'd rather it not affect the video by pushing it down. I don't disagree with that. Might be worth posting this on their GitHub as a feature request.
    5
  1442. That's correct. Chrome was created in 2008 and Surf was created in 2009. Chrome originally used WebKit but forked it into Blink in 2013. So, today it would be more appropriate to equate Surf with Safari rather than modern Chrome.
    5
  1443. Congrats!
    5
  1444. Thanks, Chris! :D
    5
  1445. Great to hear! I may put AntiX on one of my test laptops.
    5
  1446. Snaps work great on a server. For example, you don't have to worry about all the LAMP stack dependencies with Nextcloud because the snap includes the dependencies..
    5
  1447. I have been playing with org-mode. But it's definitely not the note-taking app for the masses. Hence, this video. But I will be doing some videos with org-mode soon.
    5
  1448. Louisiana.
    5
  1449. Thanks, randomizer.
    5
  1450. Awesome. Keep up the great work!
    5
  1451. I've used nitrogen on Debian. Nitrogen should be in pretty much everyone's repos.
    5
  1452. Yes!
    5
  1453. I realized that in the middle of the video. I mention there is no need for sudo for querying. Oh well, mistakes stay in my videos. :D
    5
  1454. You could always open up an issue on their GitHub to see if they would consider supporting Fedora. I doubt it would take too much work to make this happen.
    5
  1455. Thanks for the tip.
    5
  1456. I'm quite the wordsmith!
    5
  1457. Mononoki
    5
  1458. This is only available on "free" operating systems at the moment (Linux and BSD).
    5
  1459. I thought the same about Red Hat. Strange it's not there.
    5
  1460. I can agree. :D
    5
  1461. Let's see. Right now I'm using 4425M of RAM without neovide open. And I open Neovide and I'm using 4462M. So I'd say it doesn't use much memory.
    5
  1462. Yea...I wouldn't run Ubuntu other than the LTS. The interim releases do seem to lack some quality control. And the LTS's are not updated immediately to the next version. The updater tool waits until the first point release to upgrade to the next LTS.
    5
  1463. You wish.
    5
  1464. Richard used emacs. That's the very definition of bloat!
    5
  1465. While it might be best to broaden the topics of this channel, I'm not chasing views or subscribers or money. I've learned that to do this long term, I gotta make the content that I want to make. Although, I certainly would enjoy doing videos on things like HTML/CSS and python. Hmmm....
    5
  1466. I know Elgato says that there popular HD60S capture devices do not run on Linux (because they don't--drivers are needed). But the Cam Link seems to be plug and play. Just worked on a Window machine I plugged into. Just worked in Manjaro. Didn't work in BSD but who knows what's going on there.
    5
  1467. Can't go wrong with Arch....btw. :D
    5
  1468. Don't say the word "virus" around anything that even resembles Windows.
    5
  1469. Great to hear!
    5
  1470. Having a separate file for bash_aliases is BLOAT! But hey...you do you. ;)
    5
  1471. Actually, I just bought a harmonica and am attempting to learn it. Maybe the Free Software Song performed on the harmonica? Hmm...
    5
  1472. Well, it's something I've been trying to do on my own streams lately (we've been using Jitsi). But I still keep Zoom installed because sometimes I appear on other people's shows. And many of those people use Zoom. It's a bit of a "dick move" to tell someone that you will appear on their stream and then refuse because they use Zoom. I'm a FOSS zealot but not to that extreme.
    5
  1473. Confirmed!
    5
  1474. I'm not excited to try anymore BSDs right now. Not exactly a great desktop experience.
    5
  1475. /bin/sh =/= bash. /bin/sh is a symlink to your system's default shell (which is bash for most people, but not all).
    5
  1476. I should start using it then. Thanks.
    5
  1477. Arch? Never heard of it.
    5
  1478. I've installed it many times on Manjaro KDE and Manjaro GNOME in VMs.
    5
  1479. Of course! You will definitely get to practice writing Python!
    5
  1480. >oh and you can install Openbox on void linux It's like you read my mind.
    5
  1481. Good to hear. I was worried this machine had some other problems...other than Windows 7. :D
    5
  1482. Thanks for sharing that with us! :D
    4
  1483. Confirmed!
    4
  1484. The audio on this video is definitely lower than normal. I'll play with it.
    4
  1485. You probably could run them all at once. But Erik has them separated so you can skip certain ones if you don't need those programs/services. For example, on this VM I really didn't have to run the printer script or the samba script. Makes it more flexbile to have them seperated. Otherwise, you'd have to comment out those sections if it was all one big script.
    4
  1486. I'd have to learn some emacs myself to do a tutorial on it.
    4
  1487. I swapped out mpv for ffplay which avoids any conflicts for those watching movies in mpv while wanting to listen to ambient sounds.
    4
  1488. I'm aware of Control+L. I prefer to type "clear" on video. Although, I see your point: typing "clear" could be considered bloat.
    4
  1489. Half right.
    4
  1490. LOL. I knew someone would make a "just like on Windows" joke about all the popups....and about the inclusion of an AV program. The only thing Makulu was missing was the BSOD. :D
    4
  1491. The ErgoDox (and Moonlander) include a tool to easily pop off the keycaps. You can rearrange them in a new layout. All the alphanumeric keycaps are the same size and type with the exception of "f" and "j" having a slight raised area near the bottom of them, to help with touch typing.
    4
  1492. I think I'm OK. No hugs were offered. No hugs were sent.
    4
  1493. I know, right? I should start hanging out in /a/. :D
    4
  1494. Keep in mind, this particular study was based on contributors to GitHub--which makes sense since GitHub is such a gigantic repository. Canonical/Ubuntu uses their own Launchpad rather than GitHub though. So that explains the issue there.
    4
  1495. Love konsole but I don't want any KDE dependencies. That said....I install kdenlive on every install.
    4
  1496. Or maybe that's NOT my usual password. You will never know!
    4
  1497. Glad you enjoy it!
    4
  1498. Ah, yes! I've run into this annoying issue on some Debian-based distros before. Their 'chsh' program is different. There is no "list" flag. But on every Linux distro, you should be able to simple 'cat /etc/shells' and get the available shells. I'm pretty sure that this is all 'chsh -l' is doing anyway.
    4
  1499. One of the things that keeps me on Arch is I've got some of my stuff packaged in the AUR.
    4
  1500. Congrats! :D
    4
  1501. I warn you now...the ISOs a bit old.
    4
  1502. Well deserved, sir!
    4
  1503. Yea, maybe wait for the next Mint after the Ubuntu releases. I've never used Mint on real hardware so it might be worth taking a look at.
    4
  1504. ls -1 -d */ #certainly makes things a bit simpler.
    4
  1505. Thank you, sir.
    4
  1506. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Awesome Check out the "configuration" subheading. P.S. Keep the Arch Wiki bookmarked for all your future questions about anything Linux-related. Whatever the question, the answer is probably in that Wiki.
    4
  1507. I like that as a video title. Maybe next time. ;)
    4
  1508. Same to you!
    4
  1509. Fake news!
    4
  1510. Thank you, Hector. Really looking forward to playing around with ArcoLinux more in the future. Such a great way to install these minimal window managers....and Erik's configs make sense.
    4
  1511. If you know regex, go for it. I like "easy" myself. :D
    4
  1512. I'm waiting on my Pinebook Pro. Purchased mainly for the FSF-approved distros.
    4
  1513. runwiththedolphin Awesome.
    4
  1514. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, evil corporations, the government....
    4
  1515. Appreciate that, Henry!
    4
  1516. Arco.
    4
  1517. Appreciate that! :D
    4
  1518. I don't know of any FOSS tax software.
    4
  1519. Mr. Whole is on a roll!
    4
  1520. No...you can't like all three! :D
    4
  1521. :D
    4
  1522. It is!
    4
  1523. Haven't looked at any release notes by I would be surprised if pcmanfm included in big new features. Now should you replace Thunar with PCManFM? That's a personal preference. PCManFM is a bit lighter. Install it though and try it out. You can have both Thunar and PCManFM on your system.
    4
  1524. Funny you mention that. 3d acceleration is enabled in all of my VMs. But you would think 3d acceleration was ticked off by how slow all the effects are.
    4
  1525. Thanks, Wesley. Much appreciated!
    4
  1526. Will probably do that in a future video.
    4
  1527. Sounds interesting. Might be something I take a look at in the future.
    4
  1528. Not the first time I've slipped up with GitHub. Had all my dotfiles hosted there for a long time before making the move to GitLab.
    4
  1529. Solaris isn't FOSS. But I was meaning OpenSolaris which died and became OpenIndiana.
    4
  1530. And yes....you got played, dawg!
    4
  1531. >Are you the thought police? Not at all. I don't take offense to anyone's views or opinions, even those at the extreme ends of the spectrum. I don't want to tell anyone "what" to think--decide that for yourself. This is more about "how" to think.
    4
  1532. It's the same as aliasing in bash or zsh. So... alias XX="some command"
    4
  1533. It is addictive. When I first started using Linux about 10 years ago it wasn't unusual to install 3-5 different distros on my computer every year. I'm beyond that phase though. I "set it and forget it" these days. Although I titled the video "Distro Hopping", I've lived in the same distro on this machine for 4 years, and whatever I install on it now will live there at least a year...probably two or more...before I even consider moving to something different.
    4
  1534. Kali.
    4
  1535. Writing bad code is one thing. Removing /bin/sh is complete incompetence. A Linux novice would look at that line in the install script and go, "Whoah! Wait a minute!"
    4
  1536. Studio MZK Oh snap. Good point. I also (when I decided at last minute to make a swap) should have made it the first partition. My bad.
    4
  1537. Confirmed!

  1538. Should be fixed now. But it will force you to set both the LANG and LC_CTYPE variables in your /etc/locale.conf. Just set LC_CTYPE to the same value as you set LANG to. Then do a 'sudo locale-gen' and reboot. Then rerun the script and it should let you proceed.
    4
  1539. Uploaded my latest configs to GitHub for you: https://github.com/dwt1 BTW, Manjaro is the distro. Openbox is the window manager. Tint2 is the panel. Hope it helps.
    4
  1540. Quite bloated, honestly.
    4
  1541. Confirmed!
    4
  1542. In a good way!
    4
  1543. Ever wondered what I do off camera? :D
    4
  1544. Yes, I probably would just create my own start page with links to all my favorite sites.. Doing something like that would also help with the bookmark problem in surf.
    4
  1545. Great to hear Q4OS is working for you.
    4
  1546. Similar in some aspects.
    4
  1547. All my errors are legit errors. :D And I do like keeping any mistakes made along the way included in the videos, because I do think they are useful...if for no other reason, new users can see how I keep calm and work out a problem.
    4
  1548. DOS.
    4
  1549. Congrats.

  1550. This is installing Arch, Garth. I've literally run through the exact same commands to install Arch on my desktop...more than once (I recorded this installation in a VM for convenience of recording it). Yes, I didn't do UEFI (because I don't use it)....or encryption, or wireless, and probably a hundred other things that some people may have questions about. But I'm not covering all possibilities here. After all, I don't want to deprive any potential Arch converts from the pleasure of reading the Wiki.
    4
  1551. Thanks, Martin. Have not looked at dwm. But I have had people request it. Once I get through the 11 wm's I'm reviewing in this series, I will probably look at dwm at some point.
    4
  1552. The Pep developers are killing it right now!
    4
  1553. 1? confirmed! :D
    4
  1554. I wanted to touch the basics here. Building packages is more of an advanced topic.
    4
  1555. Emacs in the terminal is just like the standard GUI Emacs except it lacks the ability to (depending on your terminal) display images, emojis, multiple font faces/font sizes, etc. So typically, you want to use the GUI Emacs. The exception is in a tty, of course, where you have no other choice.
    4
  1556. The global config file allows you to set the editor, terminal, browser, etc.that you prefer.
    4
  1557. Oh, I'm sure I will hop to some other window managers along the way.
    4
  1558. If you aren't using JavaScript, then you don't have to worry about ads. ;)
    4
  1559. curl https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt
    4
  1560. FAKE NEWS! :D
    4
  1561. Missing dependency: effort not installed.
    4
  1562. Confirmed!
    4
  1563. Ignore the man behind the curtain!
    4
  1564. First reply :)
    4
  1565. That's so embarassing.
    4
  1566. >Thanks for explaining the "man" command The man command is awesome. If you need more info about man, then you can always man man. :D
    4
  1567. Working on an album...Straight Outta (the) Compton (compositor)
    4
  1568. Yes you are!
    4
  1569. If you are not in the home directory, rtorrent will give you an error (session dir doesn't exist, etc). So using an absolute path might be the way to go. Using a relative path is preferable though if you want to have multiple instances of rtorrent running, because only one instance can use your session directory.
    4
  1570. You wish! :D
    4
  1571. Thanks, willie!
    4
  1572. I often use the mouse to switch monitor focus while I'm recording, because I use the mouse in OBS. Since my hand is on it when I hit record, it's just easier to slide the mouse cursor back over the monitor/window I'm working in.
    4
  1573. True first.
    4
  1574. System76....Linux machines at Mac prices. :D
    4
  1575. Maybe...if it worked. I couldn't get it work a couple weeks ago. Just a bunch of Python errors. So it's not something I would want to put on camera...I don't like trashing free and open source software.
    4
  1576. Merry Christmas, Bob!
    4
  1577. Well, I'm on an Arch-based distro and curseradio was in the AUR. But looking at the the github page, I would: git clone https://github.com/chronitis/curseradio.git Then cd into the new curseradio directory that is created. If you ls you will see a few files in that directory, one of them called setup.py. I would run that. Hope it helps.
    4
  1578. I think the word you are looking for is "eccentric." :D
    4
  1579. Clearly photoshopped!
    4
  1580. Oh I used that password! Now this machine is impenetrable!
    4
  1581. Might need to install dhcpcd now. # pacman -S dhcpcd Then enable the service, etc.
    4
  1582. I'm thinking of a two-word phrase right now. The first word begins with an "f" and it's not silent. Care to take a guess? :D
    4
  1583. Hi, Jason. I probably shouldn't have just dismissed your third point so flippantly. But this comes us all the time with Linux, from those outside of Linux looking in, and those that use Linux. Why can't we all use one distro, one desktop, one display server, one init system? Basically, why can''t Linux be like Windows and Mac? Freedom, baby, freedom! :D Thanks for the great Linux coverage over at Forbes. Keep up the great work, sir!
    4
  1584. Xmonad is the more extensible window manager. A much older project with a gigantic Haskell community that works on it. Sepctrwm would be an option for those scared of Haskell and just want something easy to config.
    4
  1585. Confirmed! :D
    4
  1586. I tried. P.S. Mr. Shuttleworth. Just confirming that your payment was received. THAANKS!
    4
  1587. ^^ What he said! :D
    4
  1588. GitLab is one of the largest and most respectable...especially in the freedom dimension ( as Stallman would say). GitHub, owned by Microsoft, still has too much of its stuff closed source. I choose the more "open" solutions when it makes sense to do so.
    4
  1589. On a piano, I can stretch exactly one octave.
    4
  1590. Hi, pink.
    4
  1591. Desktop computers will never completely die. There will always be a need for developers and increasingly developers choose Linux for their OS. And with the rise of AI, more devs could be needed in the future, which will also increase Linux usage.
    4
  1592. >I'll help my girlfriend to install linux in her laptop That's awesome, Hector.
    4
  1593. You are quite welcome. Looks like yet another great release!
    4
  1594. For big programs, in the AUR always look for "program-name-bin" instead of just "program-name". The "-bin" part means binary. Otherwise, you are probably compiling.
    4
  1595. I'm a "content creator" and an "influencer". :D
    4
  1596. My blood pressure. Distrohopping will drive me to an early grave. :D
    4
  1597. Honestly, I don't know much about Iphones (never owned one personally but have had family members that had them). With Android phones, you plug them up to your computer and and find the folder where your files are located...copy them over. See if the same thing works with your Iphone. When you connect your Iphone to your computer, open up the file manager and see if you see the phone appearing in the file manager. If it connects, then just find where your files are stored and copy them over. If EndlessOS doesn't recongnize your Iphone for some reason, I'd just use a cloud service to transfer files between your phone and computer (dropbox, google drive, etc).
    4
  1598. I was thiiiiiiiiiiiissssss close to doing just that. But being Arch-based and having so much of my personal stuff packaged for Arch, it seemed like it would be "cheating".. :D
    4
  1599. Confirmed.
    4
  1600. By big, I'm talking amount of storage needed. Luke's output of content isn't like mine. Less videos, shorter videos, lower resolution....much less space required. Looking at his Peertube, the 343 videos on that instance "only" need about 80G of storage space. 80G is still alot of storage. But I'd need over 2TB of storage for my videos. And that number grows by several gigs each week as I put out new vids.
    4
  1601. True.
    4
  1602. Absolutely!
    4
  1603. Nice to meet you!
    4
  1604. Yea, some curtains and maybe a rug will cut out a lot of that boom. I could add some foam panels is if needed too.
    4
  1605. Thanks, Andy.
    4
  1606. I have no idea how to solve the login manager resolution in a VM. If anyone has an idea, be sure to post about it on the DTOS gitlab. :D
    4
  1607. I don't have any Nvidia cards and I'm pretty sure Wayland doesn't support Nvidia (or the other way around) anyway.
    4
  1608. Make sure you are using a font that can display the icons. I use JoyPixels from the Arch repo.
    4
  1609. True first!
    4
  1610. Qtile and Xmonad have the same monitor/workspace functionality, so it would make sense that Polybar is messed on both. Polybar was designed with i3 and bspwm in mind, which handle monitors and workspaces completely different than XMonad and the various XMonad clones (qtile, leftwm, spectrwm, etc).
    4
  1611. Both are great. But if polish is what you want, Lubuntu.
    4
  1612. Thanks, BaskinB. Was fun to play a little. Need to set aside more time for the trombone. Just not enough hours in the day.
    4
  1613. Probably not since it's Wayland.
    4
  1614. I sometimes remove wallpapers and add wallpapers to that repo so things do change. You have been warned. ;)
    4
  1615. Thanks, Andy.
    4
  1616. No, I only get McDonalds on live stream days. :(
    4
  1617. Nice!
    4
  1618. YeA, dAwG!
    4
  1619. Yes, you are!
    4
  1620. Thanks!
    4
  1621. Yea, I've watched a bit of Luke's stuff. Awesome channel!
    4
  1622. Are you?
    4
  1623. Hello!
    4
  1624. hashbang, crunchbang, shebang...po-TAE-toe...po TAH-toe. :D
    4
  1625. It's so good!
    4
  1626. Agreed.
    4
  1627. It's neither "free software" nor "open source" as those terms are defined by the FSF and OSI. Vivaldi has a EULA that goes against everything that those terms stand for: https://vivaldi.com/privacy/vivaldi-end-user-license-agreement/ In particular, read section 7 of the EULA: 7. Without limiting the foregoing, you are neither allowed to (a) adapt, alter, translate, embed into any other product or otherwise create derivative works of, or otherwise modify the Software ; (b) separate the component programs of the Software for use on different computers; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software, except as permitted by applicable law; or (d) remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notices on the Software or the applicable documentation therein. That's proprietary garbage 101 right there!
    4
  1628. Ah yes! How did I forget the "I can't type" aliases!
    4
  1629. Maybe. ;)
    4
  1630. TOTAL OS TODAY Living the dream, brother!
    4
  1631. You find these quotes of his on Richard's personal website stallman.org.
    4
  1632. Confirmed
    4
  1633. Every tiling window manager listed here is good with multiple monitors (I have three monitors myself).
    4
  1634. I don't have a Twitter or Facebook account. I do have a Mastodon account. Link in the show description.
    4
  1635. Openbox is a bit lighter than XFCE. But Openbox is pretty minimalist.
    4
  1636. Brave is licensed under the MPL (Mozilla Public License), a free and open source license. And that makes sense that they would use the MPL since the CEO of Brave is one of the original creators and former CEO of Firefox.
    4
  1637. I was born with short arms.
    4
  1638. > Despite being from a Christian background but from the Middle East, which might automatically tick off some boxes to you... Not at all. I know plenty of people from the Middle East....Muslims and Christians. I don't judge people based on their faith (or lack thereof) or where they are from. I'm too busy to worry about pointless things. Sadly, much of society has alot of time on their hands.
    4
  1639. You could host images on a gopher server and link to them. But I don't think you can view them directly in a gopher browser. Instead you'd have to download the image and view in another program.
    4
  1640. Most computer users don't care about having older packages. Most computer users are completely oblivious to such things. So most distros stick to the static release model for stability.
    4
  1641. Manjaro.
    4
  1642. It's unfair!
    4
  1643. You didn't know you needed nano in your life? We have identified the emacs user, folks! :D
    4
  1644. As soon as I purchase a Chromebook. ;)
    4
  1645. Bash fanboys. They are worse than the Arch fanboys.
    4
  1646. Someone on Mastodon let me know about the tweet. :D
    4
  1647. Will take a look. Thanks, Mark.
    4
  1648. This distro is certainly not for everyone. Package management is the big hurdle for most people so that is why we focused so much on that aspect in this video and the previous one.
    4
  1649. I expect GitHub to die quickly is Microsoft buys it. So many people will leave on day one.
    4
  1650. Fake news!
    4
  1651. Those guys at r/linux love Hannah too? The guys over at r/linuxmasterrace absolutely adore her!
    4
  1652. The streak continues.
    4
  1653. It's not for everybody. Takes a set of cojones to run XGonad.
    4
  1654. Used to like doing these minimal installs when I started in Linux. These days....I like quick and simple, for the most part.
    4
  1655. Might need you guys to teach me! :D
    4
  1656. More interesting to me as well. :D
    4
  1657. Louisiana.
    4
  1658. Same to you!
    4
  1659. > Unsubscribed because you should respect linux mint Disrespect? Really? A bit drama queen I see! This isn't the channel you want to hangout on anyway if this is your typical behavior. Best of luck!
    4
  1660.  @senpaiiiiiiiiiiiii950  You still here?
    4
  1661. The shirt I am wearing was a one-off purchase. But I have been checking out some custom shirt vendors. When I find one I feel offers great quality versus the price, I will start offering some shirts for sale. Not just the channel logo but cool Linux-y printed shirts as well. Will keep you posted.
    4
  1662. Xmonad is very different from DWM. Especially the way it handles workspaces and multi monitors. Spectrwm is an Xmonad clone though...written in C.
    4
  1663. Thanks, tubela. This machine wasn't quite old enough for me to resort to AntiX. Also, the user of this machine (coming from Windows) probably wouldn't like Fluxbox or Herbstluftwm. :D
    4
  1664. If you are talking about popcon, I'm glad Debian has it disabled by default.
    4
  1665. I'm considering buying a ridiculous mouse at some point to match the ridiculous keyboard.
    4
  1666. That's awesome! (pun intended!)
    4
  1667. >it is spelled mate, which in English rhymes with... This "mate" is not he English word. It is Spanish.
    4
  1668. Yea, I need to look at that one soon. Thanks, Lemmark.
    4
  1669. Ah yes, Stack Overflow solves all problems! :D
    4
  1670. Awesome, thank you!
    4
  1671. The last computer that I had that ran Windows was running XP. The last time I ran a Mac was in the mid-to-late 90s. So the only computers I have had since around 2008 have all ran Linux.
    4
  1672. You got here about 10 seconds after the upload. I don't think you need a notification. :D
    4
  1673. Wow, thanks!
    4
  1674. Not you.
    4
  1675. Sddm was installed but not enabled (in case you want to keep using gdm). Unfortunately, it looks like Manjaro GNOME and gdm do not list other desktop sessions. So switch over to sddm. Type: sudo systemctl enable --now sddm Then reboot and see if you get the sddm login manager. If so, xmonad should be an option.
    4
  1676. Confirmed.
    4
  1677. Merry Christmas!
    4
  1678. Thanks!
    4
  1679. I sent myself an email that contains my new password. I hope that's safe.
    4
  1680. Don't know. But views only matter in the sense that ads are served and I make a few cents off the ads. But no ads are served in these kind of programs so it doesn't matter.
    4
  1681. Check out my github: https://github.com/dwt1
    4
  1682. CoNfIrMeD
    4
  1683. Doubt memory usage is any different. There is little difference in the full install and the minimal. Not sure if the other flavors will offer a minimal install in 18.04 but I would expect them all to eventually offer one since they all use the Ubiquity installer.
    4
  1684. Yep, hate not being able to open Dolphin or Kate as root. Makes no sense to not allow that functionality.
    4
  1685. Writing that one down...
    4
  1686. Confirmed!
    4
  1687. Would be a hit at parties!
    4
  1688. Emacs is great. It's such a deep rabbit hole.
    4
  1689. I have a script that adjusts the empty space on my xmobar dynamically to accomodate the icons that are added/removed from trayer. Check out: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.config/xmobar The trayer-padding-icon script is what you want. ;)
    4
  1690. That's a great idea.
    4
  1691. Thanks for the tip!
    4
  1692. Thanks! Keep up the great work on the podcasts and videos. :D
    4
  1693. Editing now. ;)
    4
  1694. Chillin' chillin'
    4
  1695. CTRL+L doesn't work in my bash shell because I use "vi" mode instead of the default "emacs" mode that bash typically uses. Of course, I could add a readline binding to use CTRL-L (or another binding) for clearing the screen. But it's not like typing "clear" is difficult.
    4
  1696. There is no upgrade path...yet. The Mint team is working on one though. Right now, you would need to do a fresh install.
    4
  1697. Can you be more specific? What kind of "hardware detection" are we talking about? Generally speaking, Linux distros don't really distinguish themselves with hardware support. The Linux kernel handles most of that stuff.
    4
  1698. Open a terminal. In your home directory, type: git clone git://git.suckless.org/surf You now have the surf source code. Hack on it, patch it....remember to run "sudo make install". It will replace your existing surf build that you got from pacman.
    4
  1699. Yea, that would have solved most of my issues, except that one patch that failed doing the "patch" command.
    4
  1700. Yes and yes.
    4
  1701. Nice!
    4
  1702. Thanks, Dan!
    4
  1703. Thanks, Deepak.
    4
  1704. Frist confirmed. :D
    4
  1705. Welcome to the channel!
    4
  1706. Really?
    4
  1707. That's unfortunate. Beef, pork, chicken, fish....tacos are the food of the gods.
    4
  1708. All open source. Works just fine on Linux.
    4
  1709. :D
    4
  1710. I'll see of Stallman wants to do another duet with me. Maybe we can do some "Get Into The Groove."
    4
  1711. I don't use Latex but I do export org files to pdfs sometimes. I just use M-x org-export-dispatch within an org file and then choose the format to export to.
    4
  1712. DorianDotSlash Thanks for posting your future plans. I will definitely check out future releases. Keep up the great work!
    4
  1713. I agree. Geany is great and is FOSS.
    4
  1714. I feel like I could, at some point, find a way to convert Hugo's markdown to gopher. So I could still keep the gopherhole up to date without putting in too much work.
    4
  1715. Good to hear that Sparky is working for you.
    4
  1716. Most Linux distros are easier to install than Windows nowadays. We've gotten really good at making installs quick and painless.
    4
  1717. MAKE IT HAPPEN, RICHARD!
    4
  1718. Ah, so close.
    4
  1719. It's like we're living in Bizarro World.
    4
  1720. Coming soon.
    4
  1721. Emacs has terminals and has a vim (evil) mode. So there's that. ;)
    4
  1722. Yes....and....the chicks dig it!
    4
  1723. Amazing!
    4
  1724. Thanks, Mitchel.
    4
  1725. That's Fishism. Don't be a Fishist!
    4
  1726. Beer: Hoegaarden Whiskey: Redbreast 12yr Irish Whiskey
    4
  1727. I'll test it out on my old Thinkpad later this evening to see if I get the same error. If I can spot the error, I'll try to push out a new ISO tomorrow.
    4
  1728. I'm doing OK. Thanks for asking!
    4
  1729. Yes, the Bash shell (made by the good folks at GNU) uses Emacs keybindings (also made by GNU). I'm a heretic though. I make my Bash use vim bindings instead.
    4
  1730. Derek Taylor? Sounds fake to me.
    4
  1731. Hello
    4
  1732. You can find my xmonad and xmobar configs on my GitLab.
    4
  1733. Xterm inside Emacs? I can't say anything though since I launched Vim inside Emacs on this video.
    4
  1734. Appreciate that, Steve!
    4
  1735. Classical music. Go download the complete works of J.S. Bach (just to name one composer). Even if it's in mp3 format, the size if going to be considerably more than 1GB. ;)
    4
  1736. :D Another horrible name for an open source program.
    4
  1737. Piped into lolcat piped into cowsay. Let's really put it to the test!
    4
  1738. >And you did not play pinball. No, but I tried to open Solitaire and it crashed. So there's that. :D
    4
  1739. I think we all can agree on this.
    4
  1740. Appreciate that, Marc!
    4
  1741. Thanks! 😃
    4
  1742. Haha! I'm sure you will be at the top of rankings. In all seriousness, it is nice that LBRY really doesn't care what kind of content you post. YouTube has really started to crackdown on so many types of content because it's "not advertiser friendly." Hey, if I wanna record myself wearing only a mankini, I should have the freedom to do so. :D
    4
  1743. I know, right. This video will probably make me 2...or even 3 dollars. Clearly, sharing my opinion on Mint was all just a ploy to cash in. I'll try not to spend it all in one place.
    4
  1744. That's a feature, not a bug. Wait a minute....that is a bug. And a critical one! :D
    4
  1745. I don't like the variety wallpaper changer either for much the same reason--distracting!
    4
  1746. That's the prudent thing to do but I'm feeling adventurous.
    4
  1747. MX only has an XFCE edition as far as download images. Being Debian based, you could install whatever desktop you want, of course.
    4
  1748. It's been under development for 20 years and is still considered "alpha" software. That might have something to do with why I haven't looked at it. ;)

  1749. You have to reboot the machine to boot into a live environment. That's just standard with all OSes. If you want to switch from one OS to another, you have to reboot.

  1751. Good to know that if I have kdenlive (which I will ALWAYS install) that konsole is an option for me. In fact, I'll stick with it for a bit to see how I like it.
    4
  1752. I'll test out OBS on real hardware in the next couple of days. For what I do, if OBS, SSR, Kdenlive, Audacity work...then I'm good.
    4
  1753. Yep. The one I used in this video: rofi.
    4
  1754. Confirmed.

  1756. Hardly a review but thanks, Dan!
    4
  1757. Yea a substitution works. I could have also used command mode like I did inserting the text at the beginning of the line. But I had already shown both of those, so I thought I'd show how a macro works. ;)
    4
  1758. I tried doing that! This weekend, in fact. I got errors!
    4
  1759. Ubuntu. But I don't want others to repeat my mistakes.
    4
  1760. Thanks, David.
    4
  1761. Well, keep in mind, I didn't install any gtk themes or icon sets or modify the panel in any way. Obviously, you can change these things just like on any desktop.
    4
  1762. >lack of proprietary software people That's not a failure of Linux. That's a failure of the proprietor of that software for not making a Linux version.
    4
  1763. Will do!
    4
  1764. Dropping like a brick!
    4
  1765. Thanks, Mallu!
    4
  1766. I agree completely. Just like Manjaro and MX, Mint really doesn't need to be on this list.
    4
  1767. Confirmeddd
    4
  1768. Thanks for posting this. I'm sure Reborn OS will continue to mature as a project and will do great things in the future. I had several of my subscribers ask me to review your distro so there is definitely some interest in it. And I will definitely look at it again in the future. Thanks and keep up the great work!
    4
  1769. Either might work for you but the standard Linux Mint is probably what you want to try first.
    4
  1770. Wonderful!
    4
  1771. Can't recommend the Kensington Expert highly enough. I even use it when I play 0 A.D. :D
    4
  1772. WrOnG!
    4
  1773. It probably is a bit out of sync since switching cameras. Different latency between this camera and my webcam. Will have to play with it a bit to figure out the correct delay settings.
    4
  1774. https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/faq.html#question-where-do-i-store-my-appimages Google...use it! ;) Also, if you use the AppImageLauncher (which most AppImage users will use), it will move any AppImage that isn't in HOME/Applications to that directory.

  1775. el-oh-el
    4
  1776. Your shift key is broken.
    4
  1777. Yea, I ain't reading the code. When people talk about "bloat" I assume they are talking about install size. 1MB installed is not bloat in my book. But opinions will vary.
    4
  1778. Not sure on this. But if you just want to sandbox xephyr, I'm sure you could use firejail in conjunction with xephyr.
    4
  1779. I tend to use the pronunciation that the developers of the software want. So in Kakoune's case it's KAK-koon. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/blob/master/doc/pages/faq.asciidoc
    4
  1780. Appears to be closed source. So no, I won't be looking at it.
    4
  1781. I don't have far to walk to get to "the woods" (aka. my backyard).
    4
  1782. Thank you so much!
    4
  1783. No. Camera firmware (and just hardware in general) is still not as "open" as software. While we are winning with open software, open hardware is still something that is sadly lacking.
    4
  1784. More AntiX on the way.
    4
  1785. I used Canto when I first started in Linux a long time ago and stuck with it forever but Canto doesn't seem to be under development anymore. It hasn't seen a release in awhile and hasn't had a commit in almost 2 years.
    4
  1786. Glad you are loving Mint, Kerwin. Hope you are well, sir.
    4
  1787. Ubuntu has a quicker release cycle, longer support, commercial support (if needed), snaps (which are GREAT on the server), and support for ZFS. Just a few differences that are obvious. I'm sure there's many other areas where they differ.
    4
  1788. Confirmed.
    4
  1789. Toran Shaw No, I hadn't considered that one. But now you have me thinking. :D
    4
  1790. Got to save a few of pthese oints for future videos. :D
    4
  1791. That's the word on the street.
    4
  1792. Donald, it's not editing video that's the problem. There are plenty of FOSS video editors available for FreeBSD. My issue is everything that comes BEFORE the video editing...namely recording audio/video. The last time I tried to install a BSD on my production machine (installed GhostBSD like a year and half ago), I spent 4 days trying to get the cameras and mics to work. Finally got OBS to recognize my camera and capture device. But I never had a working microphone in those 4 days. Spent hours trying to figure out it out. Ultimately, after not making any content that whole time, I had to ditch that idea and go back to Linux. GhostBSD has undergone a lot of changes since then. Maybe it would work now. Maybe FreeBSD would work for me. But I know Linux works. ;)
    4
  1793. Better than SteamOS!
    4
  1794. Thanks, Jared! :D
    4
  1795. Much appreciated!
    4
  1796. More to come!
    4
  1797. Good suggestion!
    4
  1798. Nah. I might try dwm at some point. But st will not be terminal and dmenu, while it's ok, doesn't compare to rofi.
    4
  1799. Because urxvt is awesome.
    4
  1800. Thanks, Martin.
    4
  1801. Do you really think posting a comment on a Youtube video (that's not even about Ubuntu) is the best place to get Ubuntu support? I wonder if Ubuntu has official support forums or an IRC channel, where people hangout and there only reason to be there is to help you out with your Ubuntu install. Hmmm....
    4
  1802. Randy Blankenship Thanks, Randy.
    4
  1803. Haha! Yea....maybe I need to use another Google product. :D
    4
  1804. Yea...not sure if I would use it.
    4
  1805. I have a few stock trading programs on my computer, including thinkorswim and tastyworks. I don't use a dmenu calculator but it is easily achieved if you feel like writing a script that uses bc. Or you could find someone else's script. A quick search resulted in this: https://github.com/sumnerevans/menu-calc There is even an AUR package for that menu-calc script.
    4
  1806. Hi
    4
  1807. Certainly.
    4
  1808. Thank you! 😃
    4
  1809. More to come!
    4
  1810. There is some command line tools for fslint. The documentation for them is terrible though. But is you "man fslint" you will see a number of cli tools listed. For example: /usr/share/fslint/fslint/findup will find duplicates.
    4
  1811. Confirmed! hehe :D
    4
  1812. You bring up two good points. First, this study is about GitHub contributions. Second, though you are right about some contributors using personal email, you can add your employer to your GiHub profile. Those that do add their employer are counted regardless if they used a personal email. Obviously, some people will still slip through the cracks, especially those using multiple accounts for different kinds of work they do. So yes, there is no way to get an accurate number.
    4
  1813. I'm sure someone in the community will remix this. ;)
    4
  1814. What did I do to you to deserve this? :D
    4
  1815. That is the menubar module in awesome, which is another menu system. It's usuable but it ain't dmenu. ;)
    4
  1816. I am not.
    4
  1817. Ah, Wayland could be the issue. Great point, INTRCPTR.
    4
  1818. HAHA! Love it!
    4
  1819. Sounds like fun....sorta.
    4
  1820. Yea, I didn't bother listing any floating WMs. I'm sticking with tilers for now. :D
    4
  1821. Hello 👋
    4
  1822. Merry Christmas!
    4
  1823. Will check it out.
    4
  1824. I'm not interested in getting people excited about Wayland. When Wayland is ready, people will naturally be excited about it. No need to try to force it.
    4
  1825. You rock! :D
    4
  1826. Thanks! :D
    4
  1827. Gentoo actually includes vi AND emacs on the live cd. Not even kidding.
    4
  1828. Is that like the Mile High Club?
    4
  1829. Doesn't matter what DE/WM you use.
    4
  1830. I'm pretty sure I said (on camera) that I was installing this using Virt-Manager with the virtio driver. So...there's that.
    4
  1831. Coffee...it helps. ;)
    4
  1832. 1. Go to "startup applications" and you will see one of the programs set to autostart is called Panel (which is the xfce4-panel). 2. The ISO should be able to be burned to a USB stick or DVD and used as a live medium. The installation I ran through, that was me booting off of the ISO (live image).
    4
  1833. CoNfIrMeD.
    4
  1834. >just doesn't work outa the box like mint No, Debian is definitely not an everything-just-works distro unfortunately. But if Mint is working for you, stick with it. Use what works.
    4
  1835. Still have Manjaro. It just works.
    4
  1836. No. Netflix doesn't work correctly in a terminal.
    4
  1837. Mint just works.
    4
  1838. Thank you 👍
    4
  1839. Yeah I do
    4
  1840. Or maybe I'm just that l33t at Netris. :D
    4
  1841.  @BrodieRobertson  You're supposed to sip. Don't gulp.
    4
  1842. >but I think it would be better, if the focus in the linux community was to integrate better windows compatibility. That would be a crazy massive effort just to make the handful of Windows-only programs that a small percentage of Linux users need. It's never going to happen. A simpler solution is telling the proprietor of the software you need (Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud) to make a Linux version. They could make a Linux client rather easily...if they wanted to.
    4
  1843. >It's linux fault , why the hell developer need to target fedora, debian, arch etc. Developers don't need to package for each distribution. Just release a tarball. Linux package maintainers can take of the rest.
    4
  1844. Hope it helps!
    4
  1845. Haven't checked into it. Might just have to use the browser. There are mobile apps for both. Installed them on my Android phone already (Diaspora Native WebApp and Tootdon). For those interested, there is a command line interface to Mastodon: https://github.com/ihabunek/toot . Install it with pip. You can toot from the terminal. :D
    4
  1846. Drinking my first cup of coffee and eating a Hostess cupcake. :D
    4
  1847. Lol.
    4
  1848. Basically.
    4
  1849. Confirmed!
    4
  1850. Install a package called org-bullets.
    4
  1851. >If they release Office for Linux then companies would start using Linux on the desktop... MS Office is a big reason some people cannot make the switch to Linux.
    4
  1852. Some of this is applicable to GUI applications as well. Most good file managers allow you to change permissions or to switch to the root user. So, TOS, even the newbies can have some of the fun! :D
    4
  1853. I played about with xmobar with herbstluftwm once. But ended up using polybar in my herbstluftwm configs because I figured if anyone ever wanted my herbstluftwm config, they probably wouldn't want to use xmobar due to the Haskell dependcies.
    4
  1854. Yea, got my wires crossed there. Meant to say Slackware, not Red Hat.
    4
  1855. My dotfiles repository on my GitLab. Link in the description.
    4
  1856. >It is not a joke... 1000% agreed!
    4
  1857. When I try out new distros that use tiling window managers, I often can't figure out their keybinding to kill the window manager, so I just open a terminal and "killall windowmanager". Hey, sometimes you have to use the nuclear option.
    4
  1858. All of us bald-headed white guys look alike. :D
    4
  1859. You are correct, john. I didn't mention that GhostBSD wasn't Linux.
    4
  1860. Web servers was how I first learned about ssh/scp as well. It was only later that I thought, hey, with ssh I can update the machine in the other room without having to get my lazy arse up out of this chair. :D
    4
  1861. Will sub to that reddit. Thanks!
    4
  1862. >Finally, don't hate Bryan, in fact don't hate anybody, hatred is sufficient in the world now and don't need more of it. Peace. Well said. None of this is personal.
    4
  1863. BTW, the command "./lol refresh lol" did place 'lol' in the PATH (/snap/bin/lol) so simply typing 'lol' should work after that. I should make a note of that in the description.
    4
  1864.  @coptan99  I almost added LSP for this video but I decided against it due to time. This video was already a bit too long. ;)
    4
  1865. So close...but not really.
    4
  1866. I was dying on that high note in Silent Night. lol Maybe I should use auto tune!
    4
  1867. Use my CSS? It's on my GitLab and publicly available. No need to ask for permission. ;)
    4
  1868. https://sourceforge.net/projects/plasma-custom-desktop-menu/
    4
  1869. Not a viable solution because I would have to setup a server and store my videos. The storage costs associated with that much video would be massive. This is why no switches to PeerTube. Cool technology. Not financially feasible.
    4
  1870. I'm sure the "new" sound isn't that good. I just plugged everything in and then hit "record".
    4
  1871. Confirmed!
    4
  1872. Likes are bloat. :D
    4
  1873. I didn't feel like installing htop on all of them. Call me lazy.
    4
  1874. We need a CLI program for LBRY!
    4
  1875. Watching YT videos works. I just remembered the browser did crash on me while watching something a few days ago. Maybe surf didn't like that particular video (maybe it was bloated?).
    4
  1876. In your config, "workspace_clamp = 0" sets the workspaces to act in the normal xmonad kinda way where, on multimonitors, if you swap workspaces, they change places on your monitors. If for some reason you don't want that, set "workspace_clamp = 1". I'd recommend getting used to the "workspace_clamp = 0" setting though because it's standard behavior in many other WMs that you may use later (like xmonad and qtile). After a couple of days, you will get used to it. After a couple of weeks, you will wonder why all WMs don't have this behavior. :D
    4
  1877. Should work on any standalone window manager. Desktop environments are different because they have their own wallpaper setter programs and they probably wouldn't let you uninstall it. One of the unfortunate side effects of using a DE is you can't easily swap out some components.
    4
  1878. If it's the periodic table you are asking about, Google "periodic table of linux" and you will see a variety of these.
    4
  1879. YouTube hasn't had a ten-minute limit for "multiple ads" in a few years. I think now they only require a 7 or 8 min long video....which is hard to make a video LESS than that length. At least it is when talk as much as I do. ;)
    4
  1880. Go to my GitLab and check out my Shell Color Scripts repo. Or on Arch, yay -S shell-color-scripts
    4
  1881. I could also just rotate my mouse 90 degrees counter-clockwise... :D
    4
  1882. Both are mature. They've been around forever. ;)
    4
  1883. But do you use i3? :D
    4
  1884. Thanks, Jacqueline. If Mint is working for you, stick with it. No need to change to another distro just because it's what all the "cool kids" are running.
    4
  1885. Next up....herbstluftwm. Then, i3.
    4
  1886. Literally one second too late. :D
    4
  1887. Confirmed!
    4
  1888. Reading from there github: "Alacritty is the fastest terminal emulator in existence." -- I like that! "The software is considered to be at an alpha level of readiness" -- That's disappointing.
    4
  1889. > I will use ANY desktop environment except for GNOME You are wise beyond your years. :D
    4
  1890. Good suggestion. Thanks.
    4
  1891. Also confirmed.
    4
  1892. There are no dumb questions, Rob. The webcam window is a program called "guvcview". The program recording my desktop is "simplescreenrecorder". Both are easy to find and should be in every distro's repos.
    4
  1893. Yes you are!
    4
  1894. Confirmed.
    4
  1895. Lower resist breaks most immunes. The few that can't be broken...I've got skels. BTW, not my first time playing this game. ;)
    4
  1896. Yep, people asking me for Vim videos...I'm like.....ehhhhh. "Why don't you guys check out Luke's channel?" And he makes a vid. Love it when a plan works out!
    4
  1897. I wouldn't recommend any rolling release distro as a first Linux distro. I'd recommend that you take a look at Ubuntu (or any of it's official flavors), Linux Mint, or Peppermint OS. All are great for the new Linux user and are stable. For desktop environments, I'd avoid GNOME on that machine. Try MATE or Xfce. Both are a bit lighter in weight and should run great!
    4
  1898. Plenty of those to choose from.
    4
  1899. Great to hear!
    4
  1900. 👍
    4
  1901. Hey, thanks!
    4
  1902. Thank you, sir. Much appreciated.
    4
  1903. Just a glitch in the matrix.
    4
  1904. There are plenty of examples of people doing this in qtile Check out the example configs on Qtile's github: https://github.com/qtile/qtile-examples
    4
  1905. Awesome! Thank you!
    4
  1906. I would agree with you 100% on that point.
    4
  1907. First reply! What did I win? :D
    4
  1908. MS Office? Uh...no. :D
    4
  1909. OH.....yea....now that I can do! Will add it to my "to do"list.
    4
  1910. Yep. This would actually work on every distro. Obviously, in Debian/Ubuntu you will use apt instead of pacman. And so on and so forth with the other distros. The programs I used should be in most repos. The exception is menumaker. But it is simple to build from source.
    4
  1911. I do this every time too. I always tell myself I don't need any documentation....and then I botch it all to hell.
    4
  1912. Totally agree.
    4
  1913. Fake news!!!
    4
  1914. You can't take your Debian packages to Arch...or vice versa. The point of Snap, Flatpaks and AppImages is that you have all the libraries and dependencies contained in them, so you can install them on any distro.
    4
  1915. YES! That actually was one of the reasons I chose this location.
    4
  1916. Anyone can fork anything. But a project like this, to actually continue development, that would take a large team of committed people.
    4
  1917. Good tip!
    4
  1918. In some ways this is like Linux....15 years ago.
    4
  1919. Yea, I didn't listen to the whole video after I recorded. My initial thought is it may be USB overload (too much plugged into the same USB controller). So I will plug in my audio interface into a different port next time. Weird thing though...both time stamps you provided were when I was rebooting the VM. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.
    4
  1920. Thanks! 😃
    4
  1921. Not even second or third either. :(
    4
  1922. Haven't played with Plan 9.
    4
  1923. Now, this is what I call "good branding"!
    4
  1924. user365 Yes. The next one is Gentoo based.
    4
  1925. Linux is the gift that keeps on giving!
    4
  1926. The video editor I use is Kdenlive. For audio editing, I use Audacity. I record these videos with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). I do all the artwork with Gimp.
    4
  1927. I'm sure it's fine. Gedit isn't bad actually since it has some nice plugins available. These are certainly good editors to use until you want to test yourself a bit more with the likes of Vim or Emacs.
    4
  1928. Go to my GitLab and look in my Dotfiles repo.. Find my .config/fish/config.fish. There are two custom functions in there, one for "!!" and another for "!$". ;)
    4
  1929. Sadly, you see this sort of reply on all the Linux forums. We (as a community) need to do a better job at supporting Windows when people need help with it (dual booting or in a VM).
    4
  1930. Yea, I noticed that as well when I looked at the wave form.
    4
  1931. >I am getting a good laugh from the reaction of the hardcore linux fanboys Mr. Gates, is that you? :D
    4
  1932. >still looks the same after all these years I wouldn't expect any major changes to fvwm if I were you. :D
    4
  1933. Newsflash...your wife has $2000 in shoes. And let's not even talk about handbags. ;)
    4
  1934. You can install and use anything you want. Just like any other distro and desktop.
    4
  1935. Playing around with the settings on my new camera....and the lighting. Glad you like it. :D
    4
  1936. Fake news!
    4
  1937. Avoid cheap LG phones. Ask me how I know. :D
    4
  1938. Thanks!
    4
  1939. Thanks, you too.
    4
  1940. You will not get .deb (Debian) package to install in Arch/Arco. Luckily, both obs and zoom are already in the Arch repos or the AUR. Install obs-studio from the standard repos (using pacman). Install zoom from the AUR (using whatever AUR helper you like).
    4
  1941. I noticed that as well. Nice that some big channels are posting there!
    4
  1942. Well, I still had to enter all that information into the database when I did Wordpress. It just doesn't magically appear there. ;)
    4
  1943. No release date yet. ;)
    4
  1944. It's not going to help you if you distrohop. Packages are named differently in every distro. :(
    4
  1945. Appreciate that, Dave!
    4
  1946. Better late than never!
    4
  1947. Numero uno?
    4
  1948. About 10-12 years ago, I came across a really nice tiling window manager called XMonad. It's written and configured in Haskell. So I tried to learn a little Haskell to help me configure my window manager. ;)
    4
  1949. You bet!
    4
  1950. >@LinusTechTips is the potted meat of the food industry. Hey, I like potted meat! :D
    4
  1951. Eh, I mean...technically, you could write anything in the Org syntax and save it with the .org extension. But if you want to have all the cool bells and whistles (like org-export-dispatch to convert to other formats), then you have to use Emacs. It would be tough for another editor to implement Org in any usable way. Org is a part of Emacs (not just a plugin) and would require an enormous effort for someone to port it to another editor.
    4
  1952. Yea, the color changes were pretty slick. A really neat feature.
    4
  1953. Fair point, Rex.
    4
  1954. It's definitely not a good setup for reviewing hardware. But it's all I have to work with at the moment until I find a proper studio.
    4
  1955. :D
    4
  1956. That's typically how I get random things, like a random wallpaper, random song, random picture, etc. Shuf is very useful.
    4
  1957. Wth yes.
    4
  1958. Thank you, sir.
    4
  1959. :D
    4
  1960. Does a pi4 count as a home computer? :D
    4
  1961. Elstan McFrolicker Well this is still my production machine, so things like live streaming and video rendering are required. Those require a real CPU and GPU.
    4
  1962. Yea, sometimes I'm just sitting around and all of a sudden "grep" pops into my head. ;)
    4
  1963. Hmmm...wondering if I could have snuck in a "Hello, Zoomers" in somewhere in this video. Missed opportunities.
    4
  1964. To the end user, there's no difference.
    4
  1965. >but I'm 90% sure that bsd can be called "Unix based" Anything can be called Unix-based. But to be called Unix, that's where things get complicated.
    4
  1966. That's great. LBRY has some warts but is getting better with each new release. You can definitely see the hard work that these guys are putting in.
    4
  1967. Thanks for the tip!
    4
  1968. No arguments from me. :D
    4
  1969. Morning!
    4
  1970. Thanks, John. Really love the community here on Youtube. And agreed, some really great knowledge being shared in the comments!
    4
  1971. Thanks for the reply, S.B. This was my first time installing and running Gecko so I came at this review from that perspective. I have no issues with the lack of rebranding if that is your decision. I can respect that. And I don't hate having programs like Clementine installed by default (Clementine is my preferred music player actually). The lack of wallpapers is an easy fix though. I understand designing custom wallpapers for your distro (especially branded wallpapers) might be a bit of work that you don't want to do. But there are wallpaper packs that can be installed from the OpenSUSE repos (gnome-backgrounds 15.5MiB, mate-backgrounds 20.0MiB, etc) that wouldn't require any work on your part and could provide a couple of dozen high quality wallpapers for your users. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!
    4
  1972. Yes, if you installed yay first on your new install, then instead of: pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt You could: yay -S --needed - < packages.txt Video on yay coming soon. ;)
    4
  1973. I almost did Openbox instead of XMonad for this video. I guess I'll do Openbox for the next one of these. ;)
    4
  1974. None so far. Manjaro has been rock solid. It's been six weeks now since I installed Manjaro in Virtualbox. I login about 2-3 times a week and update the system and sometimes play around in it to make videos (my recent video on Ranger was done inside that Manjaro virtual machine). I've been super impressed with Manjaro so far. I'm more of a stable distro guy (tend to use Ubuntu LTS or Debian stable on my home machines), but if I was in the market for a rolling release distro, Manjaro would be it.

  1975. >The windows manager you used looks very Windows 3.1 More Windows 98 than 3.1.
    4
  1976. >Not to knock you or anything bro, but if you're a member of the FSF, then why didn't it show that you were logged in? Because I wasn't logged in. :D But seriously, I showed a couple of threads from the FSF forum on my previous video the other day....and was informed I shouldn't have done that (it is a private members-only forum, after all). So I logged out this time while I showed the site on camera, just to avoid showing anything that the FSF might not want public.
    4
  1977. The "community" cannot create a OneDrive client for Linux or any other operating system. OneDrive is proprietary software and the only persons that can look at the source code and do anything with the source code is the proprietor (Microsoft) of that proprietary software. This is a Microsoft problem...not a Linux community problem. Complain to the right people if you want to see anything get done.
    4
  1978. There is no "official" OneDrive support for Linux. Microsoft only creates OneDrive for Windows and Mac. That's it. There's nothing you or I or the Linux community or Santa Claus can do about that. Only Microsoft can do anything. LEGALLY, only Microsoft can do anything about this. There may be some hacky unofficial Linux workarounds out there that leverage some open source technologies to kind of do what the official OneDrive does, but they aren't official clients because it's impossible to make one if you are not Microsoft. You can whine all you want about this to the "community" but you are wasting your time. Again, go complain to the right people (Microsoft) and you might achieve something. Best of luck to you.
    4
  1979. This is for LARGE touchscreens....like in sci-fi movies.
    4
  1980. Couldn't agree with you more as far as KDE is "simply too many things." A proper desktop should have the basic functionality you need without all the extra stuff that just gets in the way. GNOME fits the bill there. I think GNOME does itself a disservice though by not being as functional "out of the box" as most other DEs. I doubt most GNOME users use the plain GNOME shell. You have to install a few extensions to make GNOME usable.
    4
  1981. That's a package in Emacs called "rainbow mode". I'm sure Neovim has plugins that do something similar.
    4
  1982. I play the recorder all the time. ;)
    4
  1983. Same old story...
    4
  1984. Python is cumbersome at the command line.
    4
  1985. If he had to change his name, then I doubt he will tell us. ;)
    4
  1986. Well, I did say that wasn't a scientific test.. ;) I ran the test again off-camera and kitty as 14.7 secs and alacritty was 13 secs. But let's not split hairs here. Those are really good times (for 1.3 million files). Both are really fast.
    4
  1987. Nothing will tear as big a hole in the fabric of space-time like Arch becoming number one!
    4
  1988. It's why I always install "sl" on my machines. Never can spell "ls" correctly.
    4
  1989. Hi
    4
  1990. :D
    4
  1991. Yes, let's take Grandma's Windows 7 laptop and put Haiku on it. She's going to love it!
    4
  1992. LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice about a decade ago. FreeOffice is not "free as in freedom". OnlyOffice? Don't know about that one.
    4
  1993. MX or Peppermint? Yea, that's a tough choice.
    4
  1994. Neither of those two hurricanes are expected to be more than a Cat 2. Shouldn't be too bad. But I will stock up on liquor just in case. :D
    4
  1995. I would agree.
    4
  1996. This was a VM from months ago. I wasn't sure what editors I had available. Saw geany was an option, went with it. Does choice of editor matter that much for a video?
    4
  1997. First comment deserves first reply! Thanks, Nathan!
    4
  1998. :D
    4
  1999. First response. What did I win? :D
    4
  2000. Much appreciated! :D
    4
  2001. Thanks, Benjamin. Keep up the great work!
    4
  2002. LOL. Crazy coincidence actually. Luke published a video on Newsboat today. Funny how these things happen. Hadn't watched his video prior to this. But I'm sure he's actually going to go much more indepth with it. I literally just discovered Newsboat this morning. Had never heard of it before. Only reason I found it was because the only other terminal RSS readers I knew (Newsbeuter and Canto) just would not install/work for me.
    4
  2003. Fake news!
    4
  2004. Confirmed.
    4
  2005. Not without modifying the script yourself. The installation does use some systemctl commands. Also, some of the other programs (like the dmscripts) assume systemd is installed.
    3
  2006. Yea, she was great! :D
    3
  2007. Confirmed.
    3
  2008. Oh, have I not shown all of the games in Emacs?! Video idea! :D
    3
  2009. Thanks, Kicksled. I will definitely check those out.
    3
  2010. Nothing wrong with the previous models.
    3
  2011. Thanks, Analog. So few people appreciate the power of the command line. :D
    3
  2012. If I wanted to host my own, I'd probably just stick with GitLab. But there's not much point in hosting my own GitLab, other than to just to do it. I can't see spending money on another server when GitLab.com offers free hosting.
    3
  2013. The iso for Manjaro KDE was right at 2.0 GB.
    3
  2014. There is a way....if I had installed a better terminal and not xterm. That's my fault.
    3
  2015. First cup of coffee....and a donut. :D
    3
  2016. MX 17 is a static release rather than a rolling release distro like Solus. So MX is far less likely to break on you. And MX is based on Debian which has a very large repository of software. So I would go MX.
    3
  2017. Thanks, David. Hope you had a Happy New Year and have a great 2020!
    3
  2018. Doge will pay for everything. Well, not today. Doge took a big dump today. But I'm still holding!
    3
  2019. I noticed that as well. Will have to investigate this issue.
    3
  2020. I'm thinking 2019. ;)
    3
  2021. AUR FTW!
    3
  2022. I wasn't really following the wiki while recording, so it might have suggested during the chroot. Either way though, install it then, install it later, makes no difference.
    3
  2023. Honestly, most casual users probably have not heard of either.
    3
  2024. XMonad is just a window manager. It has nothing to do with changing themes. You will need to install a program to do this for you. My suggestion is lxappearance.
    3
  2025. # pkg install package
    3
  2026. If by "first" you mean "sixth" then YES! :D
    3
  2027. Youtube's algorithm spots this stuff. I would get demonetized before I even hit the publish button because the algorithm can tell what that music is and who owns the rights to it.
    3
  2028. Splitting that up into three monitors is a better idea. You can wrap three monitors around you so it's easier on the eyes. One large flat monitor will be impossible to view the extreme edges. Also, multiple monitors is a better way to go if using tiling window managers because each monitor will be treated as its own workspace rather than just one giant workspace.
    3
  2029. Inspired by....but not even close to magit in functionality. Unless it's changed recently, you can't even push from vimagit.
    3
  2030. Well, we take a chance every time we update a rolling release distro. No way to eliminate that risk unfortunately.
    3
  2031. No comment needed. Using the xinitrc and startx is an option. I have alot of window managers installed on this machine so I'm using lightdm.
    3
  2032. The matrix is connected to the audio rack. So I killed it when I flipped the switch.
    3
  2033. Read the pinned comment. The Arch guys changed the install process right after I posted this video. Now you need to install nano, vim, linux (the kernel), etc.
    3
  2034. Solid list!
    3
  2035. Thanks, Karl.
    3
  2036. Now that's thinking outside of the box!
    3
  2037. Thank you, sir. I will definitely pick up one of those 32-core Threadrippers...once I hit the lottery.
    3
  2038. But you don't have to use GNOME or Plasma. Which gets back to my point about....CHOICE! :D
    3
  2039. It's just a VM thing. I could add the xrandr command to XMonad's startup hook and it would solve the issue. On real hardware, of course, this isn't a problem.
    3
  2040. But vim has a graphical version....GVIM! :D
    3
  2041. AcKnOwLeDgEd
    3
  2042. ConfimeD!
    3
  2043. Nice!
    3
  2044. Great to hear!
    3
  2045. You could probably just add a .desktop file for you shell script. Make sure that the 'exec' line within the .deskop file points to your shell script.
    3
  2046. Your passwords are not show onscreen in your terminal so they are not show in the recording either. I'm assuming you are asking if asciinema is logging keystrokes. It doesn't. It record only the terminal output (stdout). It does not record key presses (stdin).
    3
  2047. I set '/' to double as 'CTRL' when held. So CTRL-Z would be '/-Z' for me.
    3
  2048. Only on some distros. Vi(m) is on every Linux/BSD/Unix machine though. ;)
    3
  2049. Much appreciated!
    3
  2050. Thank you!!
    3
  2051. Hope it helps! Keep up the great work, Rob.
    3
  2052. The "yuck" curse. I guess "ed" should watch out. He's next! :D
    3
  2053. The computer I'm using to record this video is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. But I don't think I will upgrade to 18.04. Thinking about installing something different on here in the next few weeks. I feel like living in another distro for awhile. I mostly use Openbox so a distro that uses LXDE or LXQt as their desktop environment would be a good choice for me. And prefer stable distros over rolling release on my main machine. I may actually make a video and ask for opinions on the next distro to go on my main machine.
    3
  2054. The one thing GNOME got right! ;)
    3
  2055. Confirmed!
    3
  2056. Very true, ratty.
    3
  2057. Yep, I've mentioned it before that, for new Linux users, Ubuntu or one of it's derivatives are probably the best thing to start out with...or OpenSUSE. It just works.
    3
  2058. I haven't used qutebrowser. Need to check it out. Thanks.
    3
  2059. rmcellig Salent is awesome!
    3
  2060. Thanks, ritual. I'm sure you'll get the network stuff figured out. As long as you are able to get your install to boot, you are looking good. :D
    3
  2061. Not even close to first. I would normally make a joke at your expense, but it's Christmas. :D
    3
  2062. The magic of Kdenlive. I wonder if awk can edit video? Hmm...
    3
  2063. Yea, different strokes for different folks. I too am I one panel or dock kinda guy. No need for multiple panels/docks when everything you need can be crammed onto one.
    3
  2064. I took a look at Odio awhile back on the channel. It was pretty good.
    3
  2065. Check out my videos on vifm. ;)
    3
  2066. Don't know if it's overrated...but it's definitely bloat!
    3
  2067. Sometime in the past 12 months I made this video, but I don't remember it. And know, I'm not joking. :D
    3
  2068. You just need a crypto debit card.
    3
  2069. Yes, it's an old black and white film. Godzilla Vs. Mothra Vs. Garuda
    3
  2070. SPOILER ALERT: DTOS does contain a rick roll. Just type "rr" in a terminal. ;)
    3
  2071. It's like Rocky and Apollo....a passing of the torch!
    3
  2072. I think Linus is probably a good guy, but how can you promote a product like that thumbdrive....which is clearly just a scam designed to prey on the uneducated or the elderly. I get angry seeing that kind of thing.
    3
  2073. This was bspwm on Arco Linux.
    3
  2074. I think I need to make me a cup of coffee. Can't believe I didn't catch your joke. smh
    3
  2075. Randy Blankenship Seems like a very sturdy mic arm. Will see how it holds up.
    3
  2076. You can add dependencies to /usr/bin. You can add needed libraries to /usr/lib. You know, put things in their usual places. Of course, you don't have to add dependencies to your personal AppImages if you know the machines that you are going to be using will already have the dependencies installed.
    3
  2077. I like the way you think!
    3
  2078. Nice. I went with Kailh Coppers on both the Ergodox and Moonlander. They took some time to get used to being that it doesn't take much to actuate them. But after I got used to them, I love it.
    3
  2079. Certainly makes that last movement sound all the more impressive. :D
    3
  2080. Gonna do unstable just keep things interesting. Gotta have a little breakage in your Linux life, otherwise what's the point?! :D
    3
  2081. That laptop is actually on Solus at the moment.
    3
  2082. Once you start hopping WMs, you may never stop. ;)
    3
  2083. Hackers you'll be free!
    3
  2084. lol. Stallman is alive and he sure as hell ain't my daddy!
    3
  2085. A few people have pointed out the Mod+A trick. That helps out alot! Thanks.
    3
  2086. Not even close.
    3
  2087. You can't mention vim or emacs without getting beat up by the nano crowd. They are quite passionate about their text editor!
    3
  2088. That hallway shot of the gnome moving toward my office was certainly reminiscent of The Shining.
    3
  2089. OH NO!
    3
  2090. Downloaded the ISO from Microsoft.
    3
  2091. Claudio Roncaglio Thanks. I uninstalled nano. That makes Mutt use vim too. :D
    3
  2092. Good stuff, Andy!
    3
  2093. All three are solid choices. I'm sure you will be happy with any of them.
    3
  2094. Yes you are!
    3
  2095. Yea...but that extension wasn't listed on the GNOME website. Must be experimental.
    3
  2096. I should definitely check it out at some point. At the current rate of me switching window managers every 3 to 4 weeks, I should get through all of them in 2019. :D
    3
  2097. Electro Voice RE 27 N/D
    3
  2098. Going to give a couple more days. See if I can fix the issues.
    3
  2099. Glad you enjoy it!
    3
  2100. It's something we all struggle with at some point (setting boundaries).
    3
  2101. SuperTuxKart
    3
  2102. Now, that's just sad.
    3
  2103. Did you not watch this video? I mean....seriously..
    3
  2104. Yea, I hadn't considered it gvim either and I didn't see any mention of SpaceVim in the documentation. Had I not stumbled across that section about font config and noticed that they were using the guifont setting, I wouldn't have even thought about gvim.
    3
  2105. Well, there's been a lot of fun around here the past couple of days then. :D
    3
  2106. Check my GitLab (link in show notes). Look for a repo called shell-color-scripts.
    3
  2107. Thanks! :D
    3
  2108. Soon. :D
    3
  2109. Older cards are not likely to see any drivers. To be fair, this is also the case with AMD. Their really old cards have no working drivers on Linux While it's certainly fair to complain about this, at least going forward with new cards, we should be good.
    3
  2110. Yea, a tornado took out the fence about a year and half ago. Got a new one put up a couple months ago.
    3
  2111. Just trying to post something on there that isn't titled: [i3] Arch Linux, my first rice
    3
  2112. Google "oh-my-fish". The install is a simple one liner in the terminal.
    3
  2113. Yep.
    3
  2114. Sippin' on that gin and juice.
    3
  2115. More to come!
    3
  2116. I've never used emacs.
    3
  2117. Exwm wouldn't involve much work as far as configuration. It's essentially adding and requiring "exwm" to my Emacs config and adding a .desktop file for "exwm" for the login manager. i3? There's plenty of i3 distros out there. Why do I need to create another one?
    3
  2118. I should have tried to install a snap to see if it works. I know it didn't in the previous version. P.S. Just tried to install a snap in the terminal. Command snap not found.
    3
  2119. First runner-up!
    3
  2120. Thanks, Cesar! :D
    3
  2121. man man

  2122. >Windows Is it April 1st already? :D
    3
  2123. Thanks, Subhodeep.
    3
  2124. Good to hear, Nerd!
    3
  2125. A bit.
    3
  2126. Depending on how crazy you want to get with customization, spectrwm is not as extensible as much more mature projects. It's a trade off...easy-to-use versus flexibility.
    3
  2127. She's my wallpaper!
    3
  2128. Not a bad idea! You could have a terminal scratchpad with R or python or something that does math in a sane way. Or just a real calculator!
    3
  2129. I was trying to get compton working. Didn't work though. But I only spent a few minutes with it. This video took me over two hours to make so I was rushing through it. A google search for that compton error "gltextbuffer2d" or whatever it was...didn't return many results so I'm not sure what the issue was. But I deleted this virtual machine right after I made the video so I never went back to try to solve that situation (can't save too many of these VMs...takes up too much drive space).
    3
  2130. Thank you, sir.
    3
  2131. Seem interesting to me. I plan to install it on my main machine and play with it a bit more. See how it grows on me.
    3
  2132. Arch removed a bunch of stuff from the base install shortly after I posted this video. Including nano. Including linux (the kernel). You now have to install those as well. # pacman -S nano # pacman -S linux
    3
  2133. Thanks, noodles.
    3
  2134. ​ @jaydlc7732  I should look into that.
    3
  2135. For CPU? Definitely! For GPU? There is certainly an argument to be made for AMD.
    3
  2136. Good question. And that screenshot was from like 3 months ago. I must have been watching Youtube on one of my monitors (3 monitors) when I took the screenshot. I didn't think about this before making the video. Some of these screenshots could have included me watching Netflix on that monitor....or other stuff.
    3
  2137. Turns out that it is not conky. It is an applet called ShowTime.
    3
  2138. I will not be responsible for someone wiping out a perfectly good installation of Manjaro. That said, sure why not!
    3
  2139. YouTube is doing something different with their default ad settings these days. I removed all the mid-roll ads. Not sure why YT thinks anyone needs that many ads in one video.
    3
  2140. > it's a DE, not a WM lmao I stand corrected.
    3
  2141. Not really.
    3
  2142. Will check that one out. Thanks.
    3
  2143. I couldn't make these videos on Haiku. I wouldn't have things like OBS, Kdenlive, audacity, etc.
    3
  2144. Yea, Manjaro openbox wasn't bad. But for an Arch-based openbox, I'd suggest you to check out ArchLabs or Arco.
    3
  2145. hey hey!
    3
  2146. Solid choices.
    3
  2147. Will be fixed soon. I literally just got this camera delivered right before hitting the record button. I figured I'd test it out. But I will have a better setup soon. Still waiting for some other equipment to be delivered tomorrow.
    3
  2148. Congrats, Mr. Whole!
    3
  2149. Thanks! :D
    3
  2150. Check my config and look for the binding for MOD+SHIFT+f which toggles floating.
    3
  2151. Someone, check on Alex! Call the hospitals and the jails. :D
    3
  2152. Thanks for the thanks! :D
    3
  2153. Thanks, Colin. Take care, brother.
    3
  2154. True. Just awk instead. ;)
    3
  2155. Both are great browsers. I have both currently installed. Use what you like.
    3
  2156. If this doesn't drive me absolutely bonkers, nothing will.
    3
  2157. Well, the installer should have told me what 10s was...and why is selected by default? Again, this is from the perspective of a Windows noob (which I am).
    3
  2158. Installing Arco bspwm on my Toshiba Satellite as I type this. Want to really explore this bspwm thingy I've been hearing so much about. :D

  2159. grep " connected" with a space will eliminate the "disconnected" monitor.
    3
  2160. No, I don't store videos. I'm much more concerned about storing music and book pdf's these days.
    3
  2161. Certainly an option. If your window manager has a tabbed layout, just open up new instances of surf. In qtile, I had a neat layout called "treetab" that would work just fine for navigating multiple instances of surf. Or just use a monocle/fullscreen layout and open different surf instances...but that might be a bit confusing if you open more than a handful of sites.
    3
  2162. The "special" nature of suckless software makes this especially true. :D

  2164. Fake news.
    3
  2165. I haven't noticed any major issues with resizing firefox in i3 or any of my other TWMs. Might ask this question to an appropriate i3 support channel. I don't use i3 that often.
    3
  2166. Tabliss. Did a video on it awhile back.
    3
  2167. Openbox is a bit lighter than XFCE.
    3
  2168. >it seems like nobody uses/talks about surf online Might be a reason for that. ;) But don't worry. I plan on spending some time with surf.
    3
  2169. The people that complain about things like Photoshop mostly complain because all they know is Photoshop. I've never used the Adobe suite. All I know is Gimp. If you gave me Photoshop, I'd probably complain about it and tell everyone that would listen that I want my Gimp back!
    3
  2170. The binaries that 99% of people use to install VS Code are proprietary software. Yes, the source code is available and you could build it yourself. Very few people do this though, and I certainly wouldn't expect new-to-Linux users to do this.
    3
  2171. rmcellig Not liking KDE. Need to make an update video about it. Maybe tonight I'll make a quick video about my KDE experience.
    3
  2172. Neither. The only distro in this video is Deepin with it's own Deepin Desktop Environment. At 2:40, I changed to another virtual workspace. In Linux, every distro and desktop environment comes with multiple virtual workspaces.
    3
  2173. Well, this is what they may have meant. Did you install Arch by following the Arch wiki? If you did not, then according to the Arch community, you did not install "Arch." Yes, they take it that seriously.
    3
  2174. Install it in a VM a few times. It's actually a rather straightforward installation if you just read the Wiki. I installed it on video a couple of times I think. Maybe check that out if you need help.
    3
  2175. The desktop is MATE. MATE originally was a fork of the old GNOME 2 desktop, which is what they are mimicking here.
    3
  2176. I have a feeling you will see me on something else in a few weeks. Already have AntiX with herbstluftwm on one of my laptops. And I will probably run bspwm on my main machine at some point this year to check it out. Might revisit awesome, qtile, xmonad at some point too. Might do more openbox. So many window managers, so little time.
    3
  2177. Xmobar is written in Haskell. Not a common panel, but Taffybar is also written in Haskell.
    3
  2178. Great! I hope Lubuntu works out for you.
    3
  2179. Not sure. But both Kubuntu and now Xubuntu were unusually high. Let's see how the other flavors compare (although the GNOME edition should use alot of RAM anyway--that's normal with GNOME).
    3
  2180. Yes!
    3
  2181. I don't use Ubuntu too much on my personal machines. I prefer Arch-based distros on my machines these days. I do like Ubuntu Server on my web servers.
    3
  2182. >I thought this is a livestream notification Drinking early today, are we? :D >P.S.S: Im using Arch BTW Was this a shot at all the Gentoo users? lol
    3
  2183. The README from my GitLab may not be up-to-date on the keybindings. But you can read the source code. It installs to /opt/dwm-dsitrotube-git . Read the config.h for the keybindings.
    3
  2184. All the files are in the directory with all the source files. So , for example, if I'm my home folder and I: git clone git://git.suckless.org/dwm I now have a directory called dwm in my home directory with all the source files. The patch diff files will tell you exactly what files to edit. After you're done, cd into the dwm (if you aren't there yet) and sudo make install.
    3
  2185. Doesn't matter if you installed surf through pacman. I installed dwm from pacman. But when I git clone dwm, and edit the source files to my liking, and sudo make install, it rebuilds the dwm binary that's on your system (which is found at /usr/local/bin/dwm on my Manjaro install).
    3
  2186. You're the best!
    3
  2187. I may do that. Thanks.
    3
  2188. Might take a look at ncmpcpp at some point on the channel. Used it in the past but these days I tend to use cmus. It's a lightweight terminal-based music player but doesn't use mpd.
    3
  2189. There isn't a GUI client for Kakoune that I know of.
    3
  2190. You mistyped "jack". :D
    3
  2191. Google nerd fonts and just download any of them -- you don't need the complete pack like I installed. Then install it like any other font by placing it in the appropriate directory in /usr/share/fonts...and then run: sudo fc-cache -f -v . Then change your terminal font to the font you installed.
    3
  2192. I thought everyone on /g/ used Emacs? Every time I've been to that board, there's an Emacs thread.
    3
  2193. I know nothing about emacs. Sorry.
    3
  2194. Hello
    3
  2195. Thanks, Hol.
    3
  2196. Since "tangle" is an org-specific program, I would assume that it wouldn't work going the other way (from a non-Org file to the Org file) since you would not be in Org Mode.
    3
  2197. Hola!
    3
  2198. :D
    3
  2199. I actually purchased these keyboards (and my mouse) because they were WIRED. I've never liked the latency issues that come with wireless.
    3
  2200. The video I made today was Manjaro with dwm.
    3
  2201. Really? We're calling out "Third" now?
    3
  2202. Thanks for letting me know. None of that stuff is going to fly here, I assure you!
    3
  2203. Check out my github repo: https://github.com/dwt1 Keep in mind that my config is setup to use three monitors so you may have to modify it for your setup.
    3
  2204. vifm should be in everyone's repos including Fedora. It's been around awhile.
    3
  2205. Thanks, Colin.
    3
  2206. Yea...I was worried a few minutes into this video "Man, I'm doing way too much in the terminal. No one's gonna watch this!" Glad it wasn't too painful to watch.
    3
  2207. Yea, I wanted to spend some time just playing with my computer again. Enjoyed messing with my Qtile configs. Might spend some time pimping my xmonad and i3 sessions too (maybe not on camera though).
    3
  2208. Loved Peppermint when I reviewed it. One of the distros I recommend to new users and anyone with an older computer...or people like you (and me) that have modern equipment but want the speed of a lightweight desktop. Thanks, Steve.
    3
  2209. I rendered that short clip as webm because it was already selected. I typically render all of my videos as mp4. Doesn't really matter what format you choose for YouTube, it can handle either just fine.
    3
  2210. Yes. I mentioned them but didn't demonstrate...exponent is 'exp' and log is 'log'. And yes to complex numbers as well. There is a module that might help with that: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.12.0.0/docs/Data-Complex.html
    3
  2211. Thanks, Mr. Whole. Hope you are having a great holiday as well.
    3
  2212. Karl Schneider Very true.
    3
  2213. Well, this VM is Ubuntu 20.04 and I have installed some extra stuff because I added the Unity DE on this VM as well so that might have made a difference. Ubuntu is pretty minimal on apps out of the box.
    3
  2214. Q4OS seems to be gaining popularity on Distrowatch. I think people are starting to realize how awesome this distro is.
    3
  2215. They are not really the same thing. The Xmonad prompt is part of Xmonad. It is not a standalone program like dmenu that you can incorporate into scripting.
    3
  2216. I wonder if the Gentoo guys would consider migrating over to GitLab. Alot of other big open source projects have moved recently (including GNOME).
    3
  2217. Thanks, Erik.
    3
  2218. Hello!
    3
  2219. Fake news!

    3
  2223. Impressive indeed. I was thinking about installing Lubuntu on my machines once the next LTS arrives in April. But LXLE has me thinking that maybe I should go with it instead.
    3
  2224. Not even.
    3
  2225. Thanks, Rodney. Still playing with settings.
    3
  2226. I had a bit of a sore throat that day. Might have affected things.
    3
  2227. Yea, I was thinking that was the pro driver.
    3
  2228. I try not to be overly harsh toward anyone working on open source software. Like my distro reviews, even the ones that are kind of a train wreck, I'm not going to go out of my way to beat up on the guy(s) that created it. And if a distro is truly horrendous, I just won't cover it on the channel rather than draw a bunch of negative attention toward that project.
    3
  2229. Confirmed.
    3
  2230. Good to know! Thanks, Fabian.
    3
  2231. Yea, the qtile documentation is structured so well.
    3
  2232. You certainly have a point. But honestly, this is pretty much the same Ubuntu from months ago. I looked at the release announcement (on camera) and there wasn't anything to it. Just a new kernel, newer versions of the programs, a new theme....that's it. This seems to be the case for all the Ubuntu flavors this go around...except Lubuntu (which is changing DEs).
    3
  2233. I didn't set the keyboard when installing Arch because qwerty is default. But you should set it when installing Arch yourself. Just follow the Wiki.
    3
  2234. tanju yücal I'm running Arch with Qtile window manager on my main machine.
    3
  2235. Confirmed!!
    3
  2236. Thanks, Renard.
    3
  2237. Be sure to do this recursively.
    3
  2238. I'm running Lubuntu but that is not LXDE. That is the Qtile window manager. I've done a couple of videos on that wm. One of my favorites.
    3
  2239. YOU are 1 ! :D
    3
  2240. I'm LOVING Mastodon. So glad I signed up over there.
    3
  2241. A random colorscheme I created as part of the "Configuring Emacs" series. If you want the colors, go to my GitLab (link in description), and go to "Configuring Emacs" and look for the theme file 'dtmacs.el'.
    3
  2242. For the better or the worse?
    3
  2243. It's possible. In fact, if you find yourself doing the same repetitive tasks, it makes a lot sense.
    3
  2244. I have dwm installed. Qtile is just as fast. Really. After all, we aren't doing anything complicated..it's just a window manager.
    3
  2245. Lynx is awesome.
    3
  2246. Confirmed!
    3
  2247. Thanks, kcrmson!

  2248. Luke, is that you? :D
    3
  2249. Install the linux kernel. Read the pinned comment.
    3
  2250. Thanks! I too was looking for a good online guide but couldn't find anything simple and straightforward. Which is ultimately why I just decided to look at someone's dotfiles instead. For me, often it's easier just to look at other people's configs.
    3
  2251. Check my GitLab. Link is in the Show Notes.
    3
  2252. lol :help
    3
  2253. The terminal is a program that provides a user interface; it's not a user interface itself. The shell is the user interface.....it's the command line interpreter.
    3
  2254. >I just like the idea of Openbox on Ubuntu. I'm with you on that. Kind of surprised that there aren't many Ubuntu/Openbox distros out there. Scion certainly could do well in this respect if done correctly. I will continue to follow the development. Thanks, Karl.
    3
  2255. You could remap the commands to whatever keys you like. And although it only has one rotation command binded by default (tetris-rotate-next), you can bind the other command (tetris-rotate-prev) to a key if you want.
    3
  2256. I haven't noticed much of this. Every other Linux Youtuber I have had any contact with was great. I've been hanging out on the Big Daddy podcast for the last 2 or 3 months and would consider all of those guys as friends. Rocco is cool. I enjoy joking with DasGeek. I often join TOS (Total OS Today) on his streams. Tom from Switched to Linux is a nice guy. Sometimes I catch a little bit of EnglishBob's streams and Sudo Reboot's streams. Those guys are friendly. Never had an interaction with another Youtuber that was negative...yet.
    3
  2257. I did MBR on last year's video. And people wanted UEFI so I decided to do UEFI this time. Just watch the 2019 video for MBR. The only difference is the pacstrap command where you now need to install base, linux and linux-firmware. Oh, and nano needs to be installed now where it was there by default last year.
    3
  2258. TOTAL OS TODAY Your videos are a massive contribution to Linux. And Windows. And Star Trek. And food and wine. :D

  2263. Well, editing text will be the exact same as Vim since Doom Emacs uses Evil Mode. The real difference is the workflow. In Vim, you typically first open a terminal, 'cd' to directory that has a file you want to edit, open it in vim from a terminal, and exit out of Vim back to the terminal to do command line stuff, and then get back into Vim if you need to edit more files, etc. With Emacs, you do everything from within Emacs. When you want to search for a file to edit, you first open Emacs and do the search from within Emacs ('SPC .' is the binding for 'find-file'). You need to run a standard command line program? There are at least three different terminal emulators available to you inside Emacs, the best of them being 'vterm' ('SPC v t' will toggle vterm in a horizontal split). In a way, Emacs isn't a replacement for Vim. It's actually a replacement for your terminal, or a replacement for the typical terminal workflow.
    3
  2264. I use Etcher.
    3
  2265. Good tip. Thanks!
    3
  2266. Maybe.
    3
  2267. Not positive what this colorscheme started out as. I think it was palenight. I know I was using onedark awhile back as well.
    3
  2268. Funny you post this. I was thinking about doing just this. Hate using the arrow keys!
    3
  2269. Yea...cyber bullies. What real pieces of work those folks are!
    3
  2270. Much appreciated. :D
    3
  2271. Neat command but dangerous as your password is now in your shell history, so be sure to delete it.

    3
  2273. Arco Linux /w 6 different tiling window managers installed. What you saw on this video was qtile. I have done a few videos about it in the past. One of my favorite WMs!
    3
  2274. /bin/sh isn't an actual shell. /bin/sh is just a symlink to your system's default shell...which is Bash on almost every Linux distro (Ubuntu uses Dash for its system shell).
    3
  2275. Kdenlive, usually.
    3
  2276. I would say it depends on your comfort level. Calculate is 100% Gentoo-compatible...so you are right...it's still Gentoo. And it's going to be a little more challenging than PCLinuxOS (which is more of a pseudo-rolling distro). Run them in a virtual machine and see what you think. Nothing wrong with living in one of them for a couple of weeks in a VM to see if you think it fits you.
    3
  2277. No clue on that. The gaps can be inconsistent at times. Not sure if it's something I can correct.
    3
  2278. :D
    3
  2279. Much appreciated.
    3
  2280. Not something I ever thought about or bothered me. As a musician, I'm used to performing in front of an audience.
    3
  2281. Yes you are!
    3
  2282. Oh, Microsoft isn't so bad. /s
    3
  2283. Unimatrix.
    3
  2284. I have tried it. It's not horrible.
    3
  2285. Yea...nothing can penetrate Hannah!
    3
  2286. Certain terminal emulators have problems displaying those fonts. I know Termite works...and urxvt doesn't. Beyond that, you might have to experiment.
    3
  2287. Luke, is that you?
    3
  2288. For some reason, polybar does not play well with xmonad. Keeps crashing all the time. I did try it. Polybar works fine with i3 and dwm though. Never tried polybar with qtile or awesome but those window managers come with built-in panels that are great.
    3
  2289. Yep, couldn't make an episode this week because of being out of state for work on Thursday. Will return this Thursday.
    3
  2290. My gripe is that it's not a well-known email client and lacks alot of features from more well-known email clients. I think most people that need a desktop email client in Linux would expect Thunderbird to be installed on the system...or maybe something like Geary or even Kmail.
    3
  2291. You're pretty OK too. :D
    3
  2292. Thanks, Bart.
    3
  2293. It was my pleasure.
    3
  2294. Good point!
    3
  2295. It's like a passing of the torch.
    3
  2296. Shutting down. Move to CentOS instead.
    3
  2297. That is a function that I have in my fish config. Check my Dotfiles repo on my GitLab for $HOME/.config/fish/config.fish
    3
  2298. Didn't do anything with them. Wifi works. Video drivers work.

  2300. TTY is text-only terminal, basically a shell prompt without any graphical enviornment (so you don't need xorg). You can get to it by hitting CTRL + ALT + one of the function keys (Typically F3-F6). CTRL + ALT + F7 will return you to the graphical session. For sake of completeness, F1 is the GUI login screen. F2 is the GUI desktop. Why is this preferable in some circumstances? If you are doing something that might make your graphical environment crash, then just drop into one of the TTY's and do what you need to do. If you cause your DE to crash or xorg to die, it doesn't matter. TTY don't care!
    3
  2301. Did you watch this video? (hint: I mention Hackintosh in it)
    3
  2302. Much appreciated, sir!
    3
  2303. That is a chair. A very comfy chair. :D
    3
  2304. I'm not proud of it. But I'm not ashamed either. :D
    3
  2305. I don't use Windows but my guess would be to go to the latest release on their GitHub: https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/releases/tag/v0.6.17 And then download the .exe file and try that on Windows.
    3
  2306. >not sure if it brings up code prediction If vim doesn't have it by default, most things can be added through plugins. Here is a neat code completion plugin: https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe
    3
  2307. True, Jim.
    3
  2308. The colorscript program is a bash script. But you can run bash scripts in other shells. Just add "colorscript random" to your config.fish (or zshrc or eshell profile in Emacs or whatever shell config).
    3
  2309. My pleasure!
    3
  2310. Thanks, Stephen! 👍
    3
  2311. Good to be back!
    3
  2312. Yea, it's a trade-off. Stable means not much change. Want alot of new features? Expect a few bumps in the road. What may seem odd to some is that I'm more of a stable kinda guy. I do alot of unstable things on this channel (for reasearch purposes :D ). But I like things that just work and don't break with each new release.

  2319. Setup GNOME to use your keybindings you're used to. If you need to, install a third party program called sxhkd to make that experience a bit more tolerable. It's what I did when I tried GNOME for a couple weeks on my machine a couple months back.
    3
  2320. The fact that he is using the same Twitter handle I used is just strange. And he wants to share my videos? Great. You couldn't do that from your own account? Or, if you wanted to create a "fan account" maybe make it obvious it's just a fan account and not me.

    3
  2328. Adding it to my "to do" list. Thanks.

  2334. Been working on a solution to this: http://distrotube.com/ All my videos (minus a few live streams that I didn't record locally) are mirrored there. Just in case YT bans me one day, or goes tits up.
    3
  2335.  @LeventisPanagiotis  Oh, I can set them to be the same numbers, but Mod+1-3 sends windows to workspaces 1-3 on my first monitor only. Only when I change the workspace numbers to be unique on monitors 2 and 3 can I actually send windows there with my keybindings.
    3
  2336. Was able to figure this out. Had to make a minor change to my sxhkdrc: # focus or send to the given desktop super + {_,shift + }{1-9,0} bspc {desktop -f,node -d} focused:'^{1-9,10}' That "focused" part was very important. :D
    3
  2337. Thanks, Avi. Keep up the good work!

  2338. Nextcloud runs on linux. You install it to a hosted web server or you can run it locally on your own machine. You could even use a Pi as a nextcloud server if you wanted.
    3
  2339. And so it begins... :D Happy New Year.
    3
  2340. Confirmed.

    3
  2342. Audacity (GPL v2)

  2343. Pacman is the package manager in Arch and almost every Arch-based distro. Octopi was installed too but I never use the GUI package managers myself--sometimes I forget to mention them on my reviews.

    3
  2345. That's a big meatball.

    3
  2347. Yea...we really need at least one more Arch-based distro. :D

  2348. I think I actually watched a of yours recently. Might have been on MX. Was well done. College is a full time job in itself. On top of that you are working? And you want to find time to make YT videos? Good luck. But take it from someone that tried to work full time and go to school....one of them is going to suffer. :D
    3
  2349. Congrats on being first! Nothing like watching a video in 144p because it hasn't finished processing. :D
    3
  2350. ^^ This guy gets it!
    3
  2351. My dwm build is on GitLab. You just looked in the wrong folder. The .dwm folder contains the autostart script. The dwm (without the dot) folder contains the source code for dwm.
    3
  2352. Thanks, Ron. Great to hear about your son and his upcoming book on agriculture. Hell, I'm proud of him and I don't even know him. ;)
    3
  2353. Possibly. We should have timed it on the video. Ah! Oh well, next time maybe. :D

  2355. Already wiped out the VMs but there is almost no difference in the two install. 1550 packages installed vs 1509. Only difference is one has LibreOffice, Shotwell, Rhythmbox, and a few other common desktop apps...the other doesn't.
    3
  2356. Thanks for the info on the developer(s).
    3
  2357. Core2 Duo will take hours. Several hours probably.
    3
  2358. Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  2359. You know me and my unstable OSes.
    3
  2360. Sadly, Youtube is a representation of the public at large. There is a small (but sizeable) amount of nutjobs, wackos and hatemongers out there. I had to remove some comments on one of my past videos because I used the term "nazi" in a way that the "real nazis" did not appreciate. All you can do is report them and remove them. But I don't know if Google takes any serious action against these people or their accounts.
    3
  2361. It certainly was.
    3
  2362. Let's see how these 12 WMs go before we start adding to the list. :D
    3
  2363. Thanks, will do!
    3
  2364. That's correct. They disappeared for a few years until recently.
    3
  2365. I'll have to give some consideration to that. :D
    3
  2366. > I don't get if this is your intention, but most of the points here, are the things that actually makes Linux great. I agree. But to most computer users, these things that are positive to you and me are seen as a negative.
    3
  2367. No real reason. There essentially the same to the end user.
    3
  2368. Yep, I love my Toshiba. I would have no problem buying another one at some point. The thing just works.
    3
  2369. Haskell is a pretty popular language actually. Open up your IRC program of choice and checkout #haskell on the freenode network. You'd be shocked how active that channel is!
    3
  2370. Will do that.
    3
  2371. Oh, I'm sure Google is making a killing. :D
    3
  2372. Is locate installed? The package name is probably mlocate. Install it. Then run: sudo updatedb (to get a recent scan of your filesystem) Then run: locate whatever
    3
  2373. Wow, thanks! Eugene is the man!
    3
  2374. Xephyr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBcvRW0CXfU
    3
  2375. Thanks, Karl. Regarding the logo, a six pack of beer and a little time in Gimp...this was the result. And I appreciate the offer for the SVG. I may take you up on that. :D
    3
  2376. Great point, Michael!
    3
  2377. You are not wrong.
    3
  2378. "1234" and "password" aren't really super secure passwords. ;)
    3
  2379. It's official.
    3
  2380. Thanks for the suggestion.
    3
  2381. Thanks, Noah! :D
    3
  2382. XMonad for this video.
    3
  2383. cockpit-podman in Arch.
    3
  2384. Glad you like them!
    3
  2385. Thanks! :D
    3
  2386. Just an old keyboard I had handy. I actually use the ErgoDox EZ but had to push it out of the way to make room for the laptop.
    3
  2387. Call the hospitals and the jails.
    3
  2388. Thanks, Vincenzo! Much appreciated.
    3
  2389. Oh I'm doing something for 30 days! Not sure if it will be GhostBSD though. Gonna give it a couple more days. Windows 10? If people want to see it, I guess I could do it. Lunduke is doing it as well? Maybe I should do something different if he's doing a Windows challenge (I can always do Windows at a later date).
    3
  2390. But can I live stream with ffmpeg?
    3
  2391. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.surf/html
    3
  2392. Much appreciated. :D
    3
  2393. It would be nice to see it in the repos. At least there is PPA for Ubuntu and the AUR for Arch. But not everyone trusts community repos/builds. Always taking a risk installing from a PPA or the AUR.
    3
  2394. You could build them but there are going to be alot of dependencies to these programs (things like make, cmake, gcc, gcc-c++, alsa, ffmpeg, qt4/5, libgl, libx11, curl, libxrandr, libxinerama, libxcomposite, etc.) . Are those dependencies in the Tiny Core repos? If not, you gotta build those too (and their dependencies if not in the repos). It could take a lot of work getting SSR and OBS up and running in Tiny Core.
    3
  2395. You are good. "without-password" or "prohibit-password" disables interactive methods of login completely. To login, you would have to have a key.
    3
  2396. In config.def.h look for this line: static const int topbar = 1; /* 0 means bottom bar */ Then 'rm config.h' if it exists and 'sudo make install'.
    3
  2397. The likelihood you are going to get any response on a YouTube comment is pretty low. You should ask this question in a large support forum where you are far more likely to receive an answer. For Ubuntu-related questions, try askubuntu.com. I don't have your hardware so I can't give a definitive answer, but a quick search on askubuntu.com for "goodix" shows that a lot of people have your problem. It's likely that they do not have a Linux driver. If that is the case, then your device will not work on Linux. But do not take my word for this. Post your question with your specs. Sometimes the community comes up with workarounds for these problems.
    3
  2398. Same to you!
    3
  2399. Glad you enjoyed it, David.
    3
  2400. Genetics?
    3
  2401. I like dd. But you have to be REALLY careful with that one. All it takes is mis-typing the name of that partition and....REALLY BAD DAY@!
    3
  2402. The plan is to package Doom Emacs as its standard configuration. My personal Doom configs will be part of a separate package, for those that want them.
    3
  2403. Hell yea. It's pretty garbage by default. I'd rather use lynx in the terminal...assuming I don't need images/video.
    3
  2404. It's part of the starship prompt. I did a video on starship some time ago. It's a great shell prompt that works on bash, fish and zsh.
    3
  2405. Still running KDE, Karl? :D
    3
  2406. Not even close.
    3
  2407. Same to you!
    3
  2408. That other OS? You running one of the BSDs?
    3
  2409. Christmas came early!
    3
  2410. People would confuse it with the "other" CDE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment
    3
  2411. Thanks, Beron. :D
    3
  2412. First I've heard of it. I might check it out. I do love me some openbox. :D
    3
  2413. Confirmed!
    3
  2414. CoNfIrMeD
    3
  2415. Want something a bit more "graphical"? I took a look at a program called Ulauncher on the channel several months back. It wasn't bad.
    3
  2416. Thanks, George. Much appreciated!
    3
  2417. Start with Awesome. It has a panel, a right click menu and sensible defaults. And if you use Arco's customized awesome...even better! ;)
    3
  2418. Youtube is taking forever to process the video tonight. I started uploading this video nearly 50 mins ago.
    3
  2419. Mpv is going to have a lot of latency and new users are going to wonder if they even selected something when mpv takes forever to load. Of course, anyone could edit the script and change "qutebrowser" to "mpv". But the browser is definitely the better default in this case.
    3
  2420. But....I love my mother! :D
    3
  2421. Nothing says l33t h4x0r like running "cmatrix".
    3
  2422. Russian? I ain't scared. I'd still run it.
    3
  2423. No real reason for 50fps vs 60fps other than (in the past) on most monitors, can you really tell a difference? I'm not running any of the newer generation of monitors but if you feel 60fps would be better, I have no problems rendering them at 60fps. Happy New Year!
    3
  2424. Setting Kdenlive to 60fps for default as I type this. Thank you, sir.
    3
  2425. TOS, can you and Uncle Guido put this Logan character in the caddy trunk? Thanks in advance!
    3
  2426. Wait! So you're saying....I'm not bald?! THANK YOU!
    3
  2427. I can't say. Not something I've tried.
    3
  2428. Takes Youtube a bit of time to process a lengthy video. Give it a few minutes and refresh.
    3
  2429. Deep fried turkey.
    3
  2430. Good to be back!
    3
  2431. Works fine in every window manager I've used.
    3
  2432. Thanks, Grindle. And hope you enjoy your time in Linux!
    3
  2433. LOL. Third at best.
    3
  2434. The GTK theme? Numix-SX-Full-Dark was the name.
    3
  2435. Think this was based on Dracula.

    3
  2437. Not really.
    3
  2438. Glad you enjoy it!
    3
  2439. Thanks, j4y_z.
    3
  2440. xrandr will only offer resolutions that are supported by your video driver. So try another driver in your VM. In Virt-Manager, I always use the Virtio driver.
    3
  2441. Introverts have always been around. But Technology has made us the dominant species.
    3
  2442. Install a login manager (like lightdm).
    3
  2443. Check out the Fish shell.
    3
  2444. Noted!
    3
  2445. I have never ever played with any kind of ad settings for YouTube so I'm not sure what may have changed with your ad-viewing experience. I'll investigate the matter.
    3
  2446. OK, looks like YouTube is doing a lot more mid-roll ads by default. I turned them off for this video.
    3
  2447. Thanks, ritual301!
    3
  2448. It's great. But I switched from lsd over to exa.
    3
  2449. 1080p is BLOAT!
    3
  2450. Cool, thanks!
    3
  2451. Not in Ubuntu.
    3
  2452. Back on top.
    3
  2453. Thanks, hottake!

  2454. If you like light and fast, this one is hard to beat.

    3
  2457. Well said, Scott. Thanks!
    3
  2458. I think he is from Louisiana.
    3
  2459. Thanks, Steve. I will almost certainly do some basic Haskell programming on camera soon. And, of course, Vim will always be a regular cast member here. :D
    3
  2460. I may do some comparison videos on the various tiling window managers at some point.
    3
  2461. Nice! Glad they came to their senses.
    3
  2462. Glad you like them!
    3
  2463. Lightdm.
    3
  2464. No. The next LTS will be 20.04. So if you install 18.10, you'd need to upgrade to 19.04 when it comes out, then 19.10, then 20.04. It's why most Ubuntu users just stick to the LTS's. You run 18.04 for two years, then upgrade to 20.04, then to 22.04, etc.
    3
  2465. Yea, Meld and other similar tools are just GUI programs that leverage the power of command line tools like diff, sed, etc.
    3
  2466. Go to my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/shell-color-scripts
    3
  2467. > his first IBM that he spent thousands of dollars for in the closet I can relate I spent 2,000 dollars on a computer as a teenager back in the early 90s. And that wasn't a high-end machine. That was just the going rate for a computer back then.
    3
  2468. Diemotma No but I can do classical. What do prefer, the trombone or the recorder? :D
    3
  2469. Yea, it's strange that something as important as the software center has these sort of issues.
    3
  2470. I wouldn't expect icewm to freeze or crash like KDE.
    3
  2471. :D
    3
  2472. Nice 👍
    3
  2473. Confirmed!
    3
  2474. BLOAT! :D
    3
  2475. Appreciate that, Renard!
    3
  2476. Yea, but you don't know WHICH two characters are part of the password! ;)
    3
  2477. Awesome, Kevin! And good luck with Void.
    3
  2478. FAKE NEWS!
    3
  2479. Yea, I had a cmus scratchpad in xmonad and I had a cmus widget in my qtile config (removed it a day or two ago though).
    3
  2480. Fake news!
    3
  2481. Neckbeard spotted! :D

    3
  2484. There is one but I don't ever go there. I don't keep chats open while I work. And I just don't find hanging out in chats very productive. But I created a Discord channel three years ago. Not sure what's it like in there.
    3
  2485. Confirmed!
    3
  2486. Thanks, Andrew. And ranger is pretty sweet.
    3
  2487. Close but no cigar!
    3
  2488. >So happy to have package managers now! Does make you appreciate things like apt and pacman a bit more. :D
    3
  2489. Probably not Yakuake. Probably a GTK drop-down terminal called Guake. Or maybe Tilda.
    3
  2490. It's not on the video, but the old man also added "exec bash" to his coworker's .zshrc. He thought of everything! :D
    3
  2491. Might do something tomorrow. Got to get together with the family tonight.
    3
  2492. Thanks, Alex. Yea, these simple shell scripts...why has no one done these before for a distro? Makes perfect sense.
    3
  2493. I got several of them in my failed attempts at getting it to run under Virt Manager and in VirtualBox (before I found the correct settings).
    3
  2494. Just a glitch during recording. It actually doesn't do that on screen in real life. ;)
    3
  2495. Well, if you are using my bashrc, all you need to do is type "rr" for the terminal rickroll. ;)
    3
  2496. You are not going to have a good time with Linux if Arch is your first installation. It requires a familiarity with the command line and a basic knowledge of how Linux is structured. Also, being a rolling release means things may break on you occasionally. A new user is not going to know how to fix the little things that crop up along the way. I'd suggest installing something a little more new-user-friendly first. If you want to learn more and work your way up to distros like Arch, play with them in a VM. Doing a few Arch installs in a VM and see how it goes. See if you can keep a VM of Arch running for a few weeks. If you can do this and feel comfortable with it, then install on real hardware.
    3
  2497. It's so easy. I don't see why everyone doesn't run Linux!
    3
  2498. Most brokers have a web platform to trade from, even if they have a desktop/mobile platform. So you can always just trade from a web browser if needed.
    3
  2499. Thanks, Renard. I'm always installing LibreOffice on all my machines. Gimp too. But alot of the other default apps on Ubuntu, I either don't need or use alternatives.
    3
  2500. Both solid distros.
    3
  2501. The Code of Conduct was for the Mastodon instance I signed up for. Each instance has it's own rules. And if you don't like them, sign up at another instance...or host your own. And it's nice that each instance can have it's own rules, it's own focus, it's own identity. I prefer the more cordial conversations rather than the kind of incessant bickering that goes on with Twitter. But for those that prefer that kind of thing, no doubt there are plenty of Mastodon instances out there for that. We have options!
    3
  2502. sudo apt install mlocate (installs the "locate" command) sudo updatedb (you need to do this to update the database that locate uses) locate xmonad.hs
    3
  2503. Confirmed!
    3
  2504. Check out the Tabliss plugin for Chrome-based and Firefox-based browsers. I did a video about it awhile back.
    3
  2505. Thanks!
    3
  2506. That's pretty cringe, bro.
    3
  2507. I have no idea where you got this information, but Firefox is definitely not based on Chromium. It has its own engine called Gecko.
    3
  2508. Both Mint (Cinnamon) and Zorin are resource heavy because of the desktop environments they run. You may want to look at the MATE edition of Mint since it's lighter on CPU/RAM.
    3
  2509. I can relate to getting sucked in by sexy thumbnails. The other day YouTube showed me a thumbnail with a large-breasted lady in a skimpy outfit cleaning her house. I'd be lying if I said I didn't click on it and watch a few minutes....
    3
  2510. Honestly, it felt OK in the VM. Nothing was sluggish or glitchy.
    3
  2511. So Starbucks is a safe space?
    3
  2512. I probably should.
    3
  2513. Hey, thanks!
    3
  2514. I do need to look at that distro at some point.
    3
  2515. Yes you are!
    3
  2516. Never knew there were so many ratpoison fans.
    3
  2517. Awesome!
    3
  2518. Add the key with: sudo pacman-key --lsign-key A62D56CABD8DD76E You may need try cleaning the pacman cache afterwards with: sudo pacman -Scc (answer YES to everythinig) and then do a pacman -Syyu.
    3
  2519. Yea, the last week or so has been crazy for me as far as work and life. Haven't been home much at all. And thus, I haven't been able to hangout with TOS and the gang lately.
    3
  2520. As I stated, the problem is not posting the revenue earned. But Google might have a problem showing things like monetized playbacks, CPM and things like that because it gives information to the black hat crowd that they could use to try to game the system. I know Google doesn't want people enrolled in Adsense to publicly reveal some of that information.
    3
  2521. Thanks! I'm glad (really glad) to have FVWM behind me. :D I'll probably look at it again in the future though.
    3
  2522. Manjaro i3 edition....with Qtile. :D
    3
  2523. Thanks! Much appreciated. :D
    3
  2524. Yea, I screwed that up in the intro.
    3
  2525. Yea, I'm using the cheapest option.
    3
  2526. Confirmed.
    3
  2527. A zsh theme called powerlevel10k.
    3
  2528. I've never said I would stick with any one piece of software. You must be new here. ;)
    3
  2529. Missed my calling in life.

  2530. Nothing wrong with running Manjaro. Stick with what is working for you.

  2534. Much appreciated.
    3
  2535. nO.
    3
  2536. I use lightdm because I have six window managers installed. Because of that, using the xprofile would be a bad choice because it loads before the window manager (all of my window managers). Since I would only want this script to load before dwm, it's best just to have an autostart script for dwm. If dwm was the only window manager on here, then using xinitrc/startx would be fine....or using the xprofile if using a login manager.
    3
  2537. Thanks Rob. I need all the help I can get with making my life in the terminal easier. :D
    3
  2538. Yep. Will definitely share a bit more about GitLab as I learn more about it. Thanks, Sauron.
    3
  2539. One of them is owned by Microsoft. One of them isn't. ;)
    3
  2540. AWESOME! (pun intended)
    3
  2541. I ran "yeet" through Google translate. Got nothing.

  2549. You are right! I should change my YouTube settings to default to a CC license. That will only affect my videos going forward, unless I took the enormous task of individually changing the license of each of my prior videos. But, you could also do whatever with my videos prior to now, and I wouldn't really care...though YouTube might care. But if they contacted me about it, I would OK it.
    3
  2550. Serge does not make videos unfortunately. Maybe one day he will do so.

    3
  2558. I don't know if I would say that Microsoft's proprietary software would "pollute" the Linux ecosystem. I mean, Steam and those thousands of proprietary games run on Linux. It hasn't damaged Linux or free and open source software development. Generally, the people that run proprietary software weren't going to run the FOSS alternatives anyway.
    3
  2559. Understandable. Personally, I don't want to support Adobe in any way but I do understand that their software is popular and is a barrier-to-entry for switching to Linux.

  2560. I wanted to play my Jimmi Hendrix records when I listened to the stream.
    3
  2561. I have "i"'s and ":w"'s all over the place when I use normal editors now.
    3
  2562. I'm working on it! :D
    3
  2563. I don't know the owner anymore than you do.
    3
  2564. BOT "first" doesn't count.
    3
  2565. The plan is to record the second "Configuring Emacs" video today or tomorrow. So stay tuned! ;)
    3
  2566. Oh wow. I assumed it would work as a live image. But you are absolutely correct! When you close the installer, it just immediately relaunches it. The only thing this "live environment" is designed for is to run the installer. That's not good, imo.
    3
  2567. My teespring store. Check the show description for link.
    3
  2568. Thank you, sir.
    3
  2569. Yea, that line could have been written out as multiple lines and it would save people some work, because obviously I had more than one patch alter that line...which basically ruins any chance of the automatic patching ever working.
    3
  2570. A nice program indeed. Thanks!
    3
  2571. Not even close.
    3
  2572. That's the plan!
    3
  2573. Vamsi Will try to do an in-depth video on installing Openbox on Antix/MX in the next couple of days.
    3
  2574. You enable God-mode...but they call it RMS-mode.
    3
  2575. A quick package search reveals that there is a plugin called god-mode available for Emacs. But it doesn't do what you think.
    3
  2576. Thanks!
    3
  2577. Awesome work. Keep doing what you're doing! :D
    3
  2578. My "ls" is not really "ls". It is aliased to "exa". https://github.com/ogham/exa
    3
  2579. Check out the shell-color-scripts repo on my GitLab. Link is in show description.
    3
  2580. Nowhere on suckless.org is sxiv ever mentioned as a suckless project. The source code for sxiv is not hosted on suckless.org. I can't ""git clone https://www.suckless.org/sxiv" like I can dwm, surf, st and every other suckless tool. And on sxiv's Github page, the word suckless never appears, not even a single time. It's not a suckless project. I don't know where this myth came from but let's not keep perpetuating it. It's a nice minimal image viewer...probably a FANTASTIC program. But let's not give people credit for this software that do not deserve it, or diminish those that actually wrote it.
    3
  2581. "command not found" means that the program isn't installed. Which program did it tell you couldn't be found? Probably figlet. It's in pretty much every Linux distro's repos. P.S. Go ahead and install 'lolcat' too if it's not already installed. ;)
    3
  2582. Re-reading your comment....I see you're missing the second 'echo'. After the semicolon, 'echo "$N"'.
    3
  2583. Thanks, Kerwin.
    3
  2584. Maybe. Maybe I'm Howie Mandel. Seriously though...I'm Agent 47.
    3
  2585. Awesome! I think that will really help new Qtile users.
    3
  2586. He wasn't a bad guy though!
    3
  2587. Great suggestion! Thanks, Sergio.
    3
  2588. There doesn't appear to be an option for that.
    3
  2589. I've done the same thing with the server edition (except with Openbox).
    3
  2590. Hard to say what the issue is. Try running pacman -Syy, then run pacman -Syu.
    3
  2591. Awesome! Glad to hear it's working for you!
    3
  2592. I'm comfortable in both since Doom Emacs uses evil mode (the vim keybindings). So I am fine with either.
    3
  2593. Thanks, Niko!
    3
  2594. Sakis Fragkos Appreciate that.
    3
  2595. Install xmonad, xmonad-contrib, xmobar. Then go to my dotfiles and get these directories: HOME/.xmonad HOME/.config/xmobar My config expects alacritty and dmenu to be installed. If you use another terminal, edit the myTerminal variable in my xmonad.hs and recompile Xmonad (xmonad --recompile).
    3
  2596. Try a few different distros in a virtual machine (such as Virtualbox). Good ones to look at are Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSUSE, Elementary, and Peppermint.
    3
  2597. >what a person gets from Arch that he wouldn't get from Debian, Ubuntu or Mint? Control over exactly what is installed. These kind of minimal installs are great if you want to have only the packages installed that you choose rather than being offered a pre-packaged distro loaded with tons of programs that you will not use.
    3
  2598. >Most of this video is complaining about people's conduct, and then you say we don't need a code of conduct because people already know how to treat others. Which is it? I do think people inherently know how they should treat others. Some, for whatever reason, choose not to do so. And whether there is a written code of conduct, these idiots are going to act the same way. The only thing we need to do is to identify these people that are the problem and summarily remove them.
    3
  2599. Guh-noo slash Linux. :D
    3
  2600. Arco Linux, to be more precise..
    3
  2601. That's OK. I'll give you a thumbs up and share this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSha9Mgympw
    3
  2602. Thanks, Alan. 😎
    3
  2603. My guess would be to go to the latest release on their GitHub: https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/releases/tag/v0.6.17 And then download the .exe file and try that on Windows.
    3
  2604. I'm not a tweaker. I typically don't mess around with the UI much. So Elementary being locked down probably wouldn't bother me as much.
    3
  2605. I agree that it is poor branding on the part of these projects to have such convoluted names. It irritates Richard Stallman that everyone says Linux rather than Guh-New Slash Linux. Well, Richard should have picked a sexier name for his project.
    3
  2606. Mononoki Nerd Font
    3
  2607. You spelled "Arch" in a really weird way.
    3
  2608. Chillin', chillin'.
    3
  2609. I haven't built surf in more than year. Not sure if there is a more recent version or not. EDIT: Checking suckless.org, there isn't a more recent version.
    3
  2610. Yes, it's exactly what you saw on this video...including the custom CSS styling for suckless.org.
    3
  2611. gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles :D
    3
  2612. Yes, I do.
    3
  2613. Confirmed! :D
    3
  2614. No, but I am in neighboring Louisiana. Did live in Denton, TX for a couple of years.
    3
  2615. Sounds cool. Hit me up on matrix.
    3
  2616. I started with a theme called Navigator and modified it to my needs.
    3
  2617. Palenight...or pretty close to it.
    3
  2618. Glad it was helpful!
    3
  2619. Org...in Vim? Good luck with that! ;)
    3
  2620. I can dig some of their music. But I definitely have a better haircut.
    3
  2621. Arch is based on Arch. It's not based on another distro.
    3
  2622. There are "right to repair" movements that aim to get laws passed outlawing this kind of lockout from third party repairs...not just with computers, but it also common in electronics and with automobiles.
    3
  2623. Yea, the live stream will air on YouTube as usual. But only patrons get to join me on the video conference. I think it will be a nice once-a-month perk for patrons. The videos that I plan to place behind Patreon (a) will not be anything time-sensitive, and (b) will be posted on YouTube after one week. Early access for a few videos a month seems like a reasonable thing to offer.
    3
  2624. Same to you!
    3
  2625. That was an E535 on this video. I also have a couple of other old test laptops that weren't shown on camera...similarly spec'd and crappy...which makes them perfect to test Linux distros. :D
    3
  2626. Well said, Renard.
    3
  2627. Agree with the above comment about keeping a script that auto installs your programs that you need. Also, you need the config files for your programs. What I do is keep all of my dotfiles on GitLab. So when I reinstall, I just clone my GitLab repo, and all of my programs are configured the same way as before.
    3
  2628. I would love an XPS. Wish they were cheaper. ;)
    3
  2629. I can't believe it either.
    3
  2630. Thanks, Boss!
    3
  2631. Confirmed as first. Confirmed as Arch user.
    3
  2632. True but I purposely wanted to show both awk and sed.
    3
  2633. Thanks, Peter!
    3
  2634. The thumb keys you would use mostly are the double-wide ones. The others are typically set to lesser used keys (pg up/dwn, insert, caps, sysReq, print, esc...) . And the only ones that are tough to reach are the three smaller keys furthest back. You would probably map those to keys that you rarely need anyway.
    3
  2635. That's unfortunate. I'll see how this plays with my E535.
    3
  2636. Thanks, Peter.
    3
  2637. Yea, if the source code is the config, then qtile definitely qualifies. Xmonad would also qualify. In fact, it is even more suckless than dwm because xmonad doesn't even have a panel by default. :D
    3
  2638. We'll see how it goes, lemler. I'll try to post videos along the way about things I like about living in the terminal....and things I maybe don't like so much.
    3
  2639. GFY must not be feeling well today. :D
    3
  2640. Yes, make sure the modkey you want to use in xephyr is not being used in the host session.
    3
  2641. Haven't tested it myself but battery life is supposed to be quite good on this. Some people reporting that they get 8-10 hours on it.
    3
  2642. Vim masterrace! :D
    3
  2643. Ah! Good catch. I was wondering why that menu was so crazy. Thanks, Jim.
    3
  2644. Nope. Sorry to crush you hopes. ;)
    3
  2645. Let's just meet in the middle. 3 and half.
    3
  2646. I noticed that too. An easy fix though. In my config.h, I needed to change "resizehints = 1" to "0".
    3
  2647. C isn't a real programming language. <runs and hides>
    3
  2648. Hi That1M8Head
    3
  2649. I wish!
    3
  2650. I have three fonts listed in my config.h. Mononoki Nerd Font, Hack and Joypixels.
    3
  2651. I am bias with my pins. But I don't have a CoC so....too bad! :D
    3
  2652. Oh snap! Guess I need to change that!
    3
  2653. I listen to that song almost every day. Not gonna lie....greatest song ever.
    3
  2654. I don't use those browsers, so no, I won't be doing this. But you don't need me to do this for you. "Google" where those browsers store their bookmarks/history. Then, play at the command line with tools like grep/sed/awk to pull out the urls with their corresponding titles from those files. Then edit my script in the appropriate places.
    3
  2655. AskUbuntu is pretty sweet.
    3
  2656. Kdenlive cannot do this as far as I know. But If you want to split an audio track into the individual tracks, then you would need to open audacity and export each track as it's own file.
    3
  2657. Was really impressed with Ubuntu Studio. For a graphics guy, or a musician....or a Youtuber/podcaster...it makes alot of sense. Take care.
    3
  2658. Three in a row! This guy is on fire!
    3
  2659. Depends on the user. Only you can answer that question for yourself.
    3
  2660. LOL. Google uses their own spin of Ubuntu in-house that they call Goobuntu. And no...Google hasn't bought Ubuntu...nor can they. Ubuntu is an open source project. Also, Google' own Linux distro (ChromeOS) is based on Gentoo so if they wanted to "buy" an open source project, it'd probably be that one.
    3
  2661. FiRst is not the same as "First" so I cannot acknowledge that.
    3
  2662. NOT CONFIRMED!
    3
  2663. Yep.
    3
  2664. I'm using the Qtile window manager. You can find my configs on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles
    3
  2665. I think the free software movement is a keep component to promoting human rights. Conversely, I see someone like Bill Gates as evil man that has tried to stall the advancement of the human race so that he could profit from it.
    3
  2666. mpv has a '--loop-file' flag. ;)
    3
  2667. This week? I'm in Manjaro i3.
    3
  2668. Hard to choose a favorite. Probably Debian. Despite what I sometimes show on this channel, I like stability. :D
    3
  2669. Thanks, Daniel. I, too, still have much to learn regarding bspwm. Running Arco bspwm on one of my laptops now. Want to play with it for a bit for research purposes, because when I get around to doing another "obscure window manager" series, bspwm will be one of the first ones I review.
    3
  2670. Uh, yea. There is only so much customization possible when you limit your window manager to being under 2000 lines of code. 😱
    3
  2671. Windows Server 2003. Does that really count?
    3
  2672. Yea, the anti-snap crowd might not want to use it. And I'd love to evangelize a bit for free and open source software, but let's be real here...I've never run the Nouveau drivers for my Nvidia cards and probably never will. :D
    3
  2673. Thank you, sir. This was fun. I feel like I could live in Slackware now....if I didn't think I'd miss the AUR so much. :D
    3
  2674. Installing an OS in virtualbox does not permanently change your physical machine. You can run Linux in a virtual machine inside your Windows installation. So you can test out Mint without wiping out Windows.
    3
  2675. Thought about eating some vegemite on toast for breakfast this morning. But I had some blueberry pop tarts that really needed to be eaten.
    3
  2676. But you have a show called "The Linux A-Team". What could be more elite than that!
    3
  2677. Snowflake? Ehhh....not really into some of that the internet political lingo, but usually when people throw that term around, they are making fun or leftists (I'm a pretty far right Southerner who owns enough guns to start my own militia). Or they are making fun of people that take offense easily...which definitely isn't me. If you ever see me "angry" at something, snap a picture because it doesn't happen that often. But again, I have no idea what you mean by "snowflake." I could be way off-base here. If so, I do apologize.
    3
  2678. Thanks for pointing out the Applications bookmark in pcmanfm. I didn't even think about that.
    3
  2679. Confirmed.
    3
  2680. :D
    3
  2681. DT on the recorder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8NZrRG0zf8 DT on the trombone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIhhbGxwzfk
    3
  2682. Great to hear that you are getting close on the adblock. That is probably the biggest pain point for potential users. As far as "stylesheet selectors", I just took that (along with adblock and https everywhere) from the issue I linked. I'm assuming the person that suggested it meant things like the stylish plugin and similar stuff that allows users to install and switch between different CSS themes.
    3
  2683. Or...I could use a cell phone. But nah...let's move to tty2 and use links. Who wouldn't want to do that!
    3
  2684. Disturbing to some. Obviously not to me. :D
    3
  2685. Those are widgets that are built-in to xmobar. Check out my xmobar config. Here is the xmobar that is displayed on my middle monitor (that has all the cpu and stuff): https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/xmobar/xmobarrc2
    3
  2686. Not familiar with those programs. But I might take a look at them at some point.
    3
  2687. Analog IDC Sweet! 12 people watching with you? Do they currently run Linux or are they Windows/Mac users interested in Linux?
    3
  2688. Logged into qtile for a little bit yesterday. :D
    3
  2689. The Windows 7 crowd probably ignores most of the Linux fanboys...after all, most of them are nerds. Thankfully, I'm a pretty cool guy and they might listen to me. Right?
    3
  2690. Been looking forward to this one. Which is why I went ahead and put on my laptop. Will probably keep it on the Thinkpad for a few weeks to play around with it. I kept the bspwm version on the same laptop for a couple of months. It was solid. Gave me no issues.
    3
  2691. DDE does use a lot of RAM but my issue with it has always been CPU usage (if using the fancy effects mode). But it's very pretty!
    3
  2692. Might have to change that password now. :(
    3
  2693. I stand corrected. Although Budgie distros use alot of GNOME apps, the Budgie desktop itself is not a fork of GNOME (or anything else). That's nice actually. Because it means that Budgie won't conflict installing it along side GNOME or GNOME-forked desktops.
    3
  2694. Kali has been on my list of distros to review. Will definitely check it out soon. Thanks.
    3
  2695. Thanks, Zakk. Glad it helped.
    3
  2696. Thinkorswim runs great on Linux. The only thing that will not function correctly is some of the video stuff...like trying to watch CNBC videos or whatever. Thinkorswim never has gotten around to making it so that the multimedia stuff functions correctly (it expects the user to have Windows Media Player installed). But that's not something most people would use anyway. For charting and trading, it works 100%.
    3
  2697. Pro tip!
    3
  2698. Arbitrary congrats!
    3
  2699. Thanks for the feedback, Elstan. I'm not happy with my microphone but it is all I have to work with at the moment. It definitely could be better though. The other YouTubers you mentioned...I've seen a little bit of Joe Collins and Quidsup. Not that familiar with the others. Joe spends most of time discussing Linux Mint. I'm not that interested in Mint, to be honest. As far as referencing these guys in my videos, I simply don't have time to watch those guys (so little free time) to reference what they are doing. The difference between the installers (Ubiquity, Calamares, Anaconda, etc) is not that important. I mention the installer in my videos but these days, they all seem to function pretty much the same--three or four clicks on "OK" and you're done. The Linux community will never "agree" on one login manager, desktop environment, package manager, init system, terminal emulator, file manager, etc. The great thing about OPEN SOURCE is the code is freely available for anyone to take that code and fork it and do their own thing. It's the very nature of OPEN SOURCE to have so many different visions out there. (Though, when I look at distrowatch and see half the list of distros are XFCE/LXDE spins of Ubuntu, I do wonder why these folks aren't pooling their resources).
    3
  2700. Removing the gaps is easily remedied. The gaps serve no purpose. Maybe put something like 2 pixel gap between them if it helps you visually. But these people putting 20-50 pixel gaps...wtf! :D
    3
  2701. Thanks, Johan. And Peppermint OS is awesome. I would have no qualms about running it on my machine.
    3
  2702. Which Arco?
    3
  2703. Yes. Instead of running the script, just run this one line: sudo pacman --needed --ask 4 -Sy - < pkglist.txt This should error out and tell you what package conflict couldn't be resolved.
    3
  2704. I found the error. It's libxft-bgra. It's no longer in the DTOS repos for some reason. That's a mistake. OOPS! Let me rebuild that package and put it back in. It's needed for dmenu (and some other Suckless tools). EDIT: OK, libxft-bgra is now available in the dtos-core-repo again. So the installation script should work. I'm testing it now on Arco awesome.
    3
  2705. The source code is licensed under a "free" license (MIT) so that's good, BUT the binaries that MS distributes of VSCode are not open source. So Richard would have some not-so-nice things to say about that.
    3
  2706. The yay-git folder is only needed to install yay. After it's installed, you can delete that folder. And no, it doesn't matter what directory you are in when you run yay (or pacman) commands.
    3
  2707. So...the suckless guys don't want to add scrollback to keep the bloat to a minimal...but they recommend you install another program to give you scrollback? Makes perfect sense!
    3
  2708. I'd probably go with OpenSUSE. It's super user-friendly and has a large community behind it. Also, SUSE has the option to go rolling release (or not) if that's your thing.
    3
  2709. Great to hear that Manjaro MATE is working out for you. The only Manjaro version I have run is the KDE edition (which I never used before three months ago). I really should review some of the other Manjaro editions. I know Manjaro considers their XFCE edition as their flagship edition.
    3
  2710. The release announcement did mention that they worked on improving battery life. So that's great to hear!
    3
  2711. Great to hear!
    3
  2712. Red Robbo's Workshop Lynx is great for browsing. And no need for ad block, they won't show anyway. :D
    3
  2713. Thanks for the info on encryption. I need to update my keys then! :D
    3
  2714. You didn't miss the stream. There was no stream due to technical issues. I ended hanging with my Patrons on a Zoom call, but I wasn't able to stream it to YouTube.
    3
  2715. Thanks, Alex. I'm very much the same way these days. I just don't have the time to waste on lengthy installs and fixing minor breakages on a weekly basis. I just want a set-it and forget-it kind of distro. Call me a noob!
    3
  2716. Well, I was aiming to keep it under 10...but I failed (by 2 secs). But hey, it's still the shortest video I've made in weeks.
    3
  2717. No but I put it on imgur: https://i.imgur.com/8sUNHRo.jpg
    3
  2718. Thanks, Tiago. Hope you achieve your goals! :D
    3
  2719. Thanks, Bob. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
    3
  2720. Well, you did write it...
    3
  2721. Unplug your PC.
    3
  2722. MrGFY must be afk.
    3
  2723. Thanks, Mitchel. I have very little interest in gaming myself but there is a sizable percentage of computer users that take gaming seriously. And it's because of games that we get cool new technologies like Proton, which doesn't just have to be about running games. Wouldn't it be great to things like the Adobe suite working with Proton!
    3
  2724. The sheet music isn't copyrighted. But performances are ALWAYS copyrighted. The music label owns the rights and I would get an immediate strike from YouTube (their algorithms pick that stuff out even before publishing the video).
    3
  2725. Well said, Lèmmark.
    3
  2726. I use a password manager.
    3
  2727. :D
    3
  2728. Thanks Matt. I've been really impressed by ArchLabs thus far. Keep up the great work!
    3
  2729. Merry Christmas!
    3
  2730. A desktop environment that uses 260M of RAM is amazing.
    3
  2731. No, it should be exit 0. Probably just me being lazy and copying exit 1 from another place. Will correct those on the next push.
    3
  2732. You chab! :D
    3
  2733. You can use a third-party panel. You don't have to use the built-in panel. You can set the dwm panel to not show, and then in your autostart.sh (or .xinitrc if you use it) you can set something like polybar to launch.
    3
  2734. Confirmed.
    3
  2735. Yea, I stand corrected on this working with i3 and spectrwm. This will work for any file regardless of whether it's in a programming language since we aren't actually going to evaluate any of this code.
    3
  2736. The bottom dock in this video is Dash To Dock. You may not even need a dock though, because Fly-Pie has a launcher you can add that shows you all of your open programs (I didn't try it on this video).
    3
  2737. I suspect that Gentoo would have installed fine on this machine. Was disappointed none of the derivatives would install properly though. I think distros like Clover, Sabayon and Calculate serve a real need.
    3
  2738. Love pacman. Love apt too. If I'm basing my distro off of Debian/Ubuntu, I'm definitely sticking with apt. If it ain't broke...
    3
  2739. Good point, Michael.

  2741. And why are you installing some obscure distro that most Linux users have never heard about? And you didn't know it was Arch-based? I'd strongly suggest rethinking this. Best of luck!
    3
  2742. I just threw up a little in mouth.

  2744. Glad to help.

  2745. Thanks! :D

  2746. Lynx, googler, newsboat, rtv, neomutt, twitch-curses, haxor-news, rainbowstream, toot, tig, ranger, htop, cmus, irssi, rtorrent, youtube-viewer, alsamixer, calcurse, glances, nmon, httping, s-tui, wopr, todolist... I think that covers most of them.
    3
  2747. Confirmed!

  2748. Glad it was helpful!

  2749. Sup, sup!

  2750. Confirmed!

  2751. My gopher server uses the pygopherd server. That program hasn't had a commit in two decades. If it works, why not use it? I mean, what is the cut off date here anyway? How far back do we have to go before we say, "Nope, can't use it." Simple programs especially don't update often, since they are essentially feature-complete and don't need any further updates.
    3
  2752. Ah, nice!
    3
  2753. Polybar looks like it will do just fine. Need to spend some time learning to configure it.
    3
  2754. This simple example wasn't meant to be too complicated. For dependencies, include them inside the archive. Obviously, any binaries should go in /usr/bin. Place any needed libraries in /usr/lib. Use the standard file system structure. Now, although I haven't built any too complicated with AppImage myself, I might do so in the future. And I might do so on camera. ;)
    3
  2755. I'm holding out until they through in a one-year subscription to Office 365.
    3
  2756. You need to not have a custom PS1 in your config. If it's there, comment it out as starship has it's own PS1 settings.
    3
  2757. CoNgRaTs!
    3
  2758. It's not really difficult to get your drivers and codecs. As far as stability, it's not Debian Stable....but it's not Arch or Gentoo either. It's more than stable enough for me to use as my daily driver....at least, the official releases. This beta didn't seem all that stable to be honest.
    3
  2759. Did you try the snap? https://snapcraft.io/nextcloud
    3
  2760. Neither Zoom nor Teams is open source. Also, there could be some real privacy concerns with having such software. I can certainly understand why the Edubuntu team does not want to do this. If the schools want to install Zoom, Teams, etc. then let them take responsibility for that....and the possible consequences from it.
    3
  2761. Still feeling pretty bad. Could barely speak through this video. About to drink a glass of bourbon and head to bed.
    3
  2762. >it's not worth it if you have job and life. Hey, I've used Arch many times in the past. And I definitely have a job.
    3
  2763. Just the ones with the white icing.
    3
  2764. Varies. I just installed Lubuntu 18.04 on my main production machine. Last week, I was on Calculate Linux. Two weeks prior, I was running AntiX, and a month ago I was running Manjaro. :D
    3
  2765. I understand the concern but regardless of how well you trust your virtual machine, if the host machine is not trustworthy (Windows, I'm looking at you!) then you still should be concerned.
    3
  2766. Negative, sir. That is not me. I will not set foot on Facebook or Twitter.
    3
  2767. None come to mind right away except Chakra, which is using pacman right now but they are in the process of creating their own unique package manager. Chakra isn't 100% compatible with Arch though so it makes sense for them to create their own package manager I guess.
    3
  2768. Well, I use the AUR. And I use PPAs. I'm a rebel!
    3
  2769. Well said, Karl. Hope all is well with you, sir.
    3
  2770. Thanks, migue.
    3
  2771. Thanks, Joe.

  2772. Glad it was helpful!
    3
  2773. There is a billion dollar industry dedicated to Windows security. I wouldn't blame you for trying to tap into that market.
    3
  2774. I don't anger easily. Simply disappointment. That was just how I felt at the moment. But in the end, it looks like it has worked out very well for Bryan. I'm happy for him. Glad he's able to achieve his goals because he deserves it.
    3
  2775. Chromium is not installed as a snap. Looks like the only porgram installed as a snap by default is the Ubuntu Budgie Welcome greeter.
    3
  2776. The Fish shell. Check out my videos on it.
    3
  2777. Ah! Got it.
    3
  2778. It really is!
    3
  2779. Xmonad!
    3
  2780. Thanks, Mike! Appreciate that.
    3
  2781. I include the webcam window because almost everyone else just records the OS they are reviewing and I think that that's a bit impersonal. I think it's nice to actually see the guy talking to you in the video. The window does take up space but I tend to put the window in a open area on the desktop, no different than if I opened a terminal or text editor..not really obscuring anything. I could minimize/unminimize the webcam window or move the webcam video on- and off-screen...but I think that would be very distracting.
    3
  2782. I appreciate that!
    3
  2783. Chillin' chillin'.
    3
  2784. Glad it helped.
    3
  2785. Wifi use to be a real problem in Linux too. Five years ago, it was a real pain to get working. Nowadays, it seems to be not much of an issue.
    3
  2786. Thanks, Anzan. Hope it's useful for those needing help.
    3
  2787. Uh...no. Haven't owned a machine that ran Windows since way back in the XP days. That is Solus Budgie running on that laptop behind me.
    3
  2788. Great to hear! :D
    3
  2789. Proud White Cis I have considered doing some kind of comparison between Redcore, Sabayon and Calculate.
    3
  2790. It would involve three moves: mv file1 tmp && mv file2 file1 && mv tmp file2
    3
  2791. If I was going to live in Tiny Core, I'd probably just install urxvt (and yes, it's bloated!) :D
    3
  2792. Wwill chek it out. THanks.
    3
  2793. Happy New Year, Aristotelis!
    3
  2794. Fair enough.
    3
  2795. Thank you, sir.
    3
  2796. Send it via DM. Easier for me to see it that way..
    3
  2797. rmcellig Erik Dubois is awesome. And I have reviewed ArchMerge previously. Will no doubt look at it again in the future.
    3
  2798. Looking into it.
    3
  2799. That would cause more headaches than it's worth since my xmobar config is not just used by me. Everyone that uses the DTOS repo would also have to downgrade their xmobar, or I would have to maintain my own version of xmobar in the DTOS repo, and I just don't want to do that.
    3
  2800. All good.
    3
  2801. Everything in moderation.
    3
  2802. Theming KDE to mimic Windows 7? Dear God, no!
    3
  2803. It's KDE 4.14. But you can find Plasma 5. A quick look at pkgs.org shows 5.11 available.
    3
  2804. These are called "overlay scrollbars" and are a feature of GNOME/GTK. Not sure the best way to disable them...never looked into the matter.
    3
  2805. LOL. Knew I'd get some people commenting on that. :D But for purposes of this video, I wanted to use nano since newer users may view this video and try to do exactly what I do. And vim is not a place for the novice.
    3
  2806. I doubt I would use something like VSIDO anyway. I would just install Debian Sid instead or maybe Siduction.
    3
  2807. Just trying different things out. Honestly, the standard ls command does everything you need. In zsh you could define a global alias like: alias -g ll='ls -al' But there is a drawback to global aliases. This will expand "ll" to "ls -al" anytime "ll" appears as a distinct word. For example, if you did "echo ll" it would expand the "ll". Just something to be aware of.
    3
  2808. I like Antergos...been running it in a VM for a couple months as well...no issues. As far as routine backups go, I really need to do a better job backing up my system, regardless of what distro I'm running. Nothing is worse than having your computer crap out on you and not having good backups.
    3
  2809. Thanks! :D
    3
  2810. Wut?! Where is Alex?!
    3
  2811. Much appreciated.
    3
  2812. Actually, me just recording my voice was pretty straightforward. It's editing the video that takes alot of time, clipping scenes and adding all the pictures. This 4 minute video took about 2 hours. :D
    3
  2813. This is the blackest of hats.
    3
  2814. Nice idea!
    3
  2815. What's funny is when I put that little snippet in where the stream froze, I see that runwithdolphin was in the YouTube chat. I can only imagine what he thought about me using the Sid repos in AntiX.
    3
  2816. Will be interesting to see how all the CPU bugs affect the various distro's release schedules. Ubuntu still hasn't put the 17.10 ISO back on it's download page since that Intel spi driver/Lenovo BIOS bug hit. Before that we had the ME bug. And now we have Meltdown/Spectre. Intel has seriously (irreparably?) damaged its brand the past year. I wish I had invested in AMD stock like so many people were doing a few months ago, prophecizing that AMD was going to blow up eventually. Hindsight...20/20.
    3
  2817. The animation is part of the template I started with. It is rather annoying. Easy enough to find that piece of code and remove it. Done.
    3
  2818. hi
    3
  2819. >"i hate gnome" -- dt since 2008 :D
    3
  2820. I could have achieved the same result in a thousand different ways. So you could use 'cut'. I'm not sure that the best option wouldn't be to just use awk because it can 'cut' for us and it could also do that 'sed' command for us, but I wanted to show a basic usage of 'sed' also in this video so that's why I went that direction.
    3
  2821. I'm using the Rode PSA1 for a mic arm. The mic is a Blue Baby Bottle and the pop filter shipped with it.
    3
  2822. shell-color-scripts You can get it from my GitLab or, if on Arch, you can install it from the AUR. It's also packaged in dtos-core-repo. :D
    3
  2823. I'm really glad you narrowed down your favorites to just a few. :D
    3
  2824. Appreciate that! :D
    3
  2825. No need to reinstall. Just install the new window manager (herbstluftwm in this case) and when you login (with lightdm or whatever login manager you use), choose "herbstluftwm" for the session.
    3
  2826. Gitlab. Check the show description or the channel header.
    3
  2827. I forgot to get them on camera. I might make another short update video on Zorin and show the animated wallpapers. Honestly though, they are not that great....and they require 100% CPU usage!
    3
  2828. Thanks Michael!
    3
  2829. No minimize button.
    3
  2830. Hey Mr_Rosh!
    3
  2831. Glad you enjoyed it
    3
  2832. Check out lines 565-568 of my config: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.config/qtile/config.py You will see that you can set an opacity setting when doing the bar. Obviously, make sure you have a compositor (like compton or picom) running, otherwise transparency won't work.
    3
  2833. No. I haven't used Windows in forever. Not even sure what open source PDF viewers are available. But I'm sure a quick search will get you some answers.
    3
  2834. Yea, I'm sure it would probably not suck as much on real hardware. Might be why the Deepin devs put that warning in the splash screen against using a VM instead of installing on a real machine.
    3
  2835. Well played, Mitchel.
    3
  2836. Good point about Chromium.
    3
  2837. Confirmed!
    3
  2838. There's nothing idiotic about Vim or Emacs. :D
    3
  2839. Thanks! Glad it helped.
    3
  2840. >That is very bad for people that prefers other distros. It's not that bed. The game company can support one distro "officially." This makes sense because dealing with support requests from every distro known to man would be impossible. Support one distro. The other distros just need someone to maintain the packages for their distros. And their communities need to provide support. It's not like it would be a ton of extra work.
    3
  2841. Yea, I should explained why I changed that line.
    3
  2842. I considered the Kinesis Advantage...but thought I might prefer the split halves over the concave well.
    3
  2843. Drop it like it's hot.
    3
  2844. And they are stable!
    3
  2845. Check the show description for a link to my Teespring store.
    3
  2846. Confirmed.
    3
  2847. Might do something with conky at some point.
    3
  2848. Well, I wasn't really after any referrals here...just sharing a nice trading platform. But as a TastyTrade customer, I do have a referral link if you want to use it: https://start.tastytrade.com/#/login?referralCode=SHJXXS4CNR As far as countries that they are currently available: https://support.tastyworks.com/support/solutions/articles/43000435355-supported-countries-for-international-accounts
    3
  2849. Runnic Design As already mentioned, install a compositor like "Compton" to help with tearing.
    3
  2850. It's a comfy window manager.
    3
  2851. Ah yes, there were some warnings when I choose Ubuntu but most were things like "Chosen OS does not support Office Productivity Suite." No big deal. There were two options for wireless: the Qualcomm (which Dell says is incompatible with Ubuntu) and an offering by Intel (which makes that warning go away). Both wifi options are included in the price.
    3
  2852. Thanks! 😁
    3
  2853. I will look at Lubuntu.
    3
  2854. It certainly is stable. :D
    2
  2855. Why wouldn't I have a terminal rickroll?!
    2
  2856. My ls is not really ls. It is exa. ;)
    2
  2857. Install lxappearance.
    2
  2858. Much appreciated, Rob. Take care, brother.
    2
  2859. :D
    2
  2860. Glad you found this useful! :D
    2
  2861. I don't know who that is but he must be a sexy beast!
    2
  2862. Thank you, sir. Take care, my friend. :D
    2
  2863. I have never worked in radio.
    2
  2864. Thank you, sir. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. Hope to continue to learn and improve as I go.
    2
  2865. REIGH SIERRA Thanks.
    2
  2866. I knew going in that GhostBSD would be (by far) the most challenging of the five OS's in that poll. But I'm going to give it a couple more days and see if I can't get my problems solved.
    2
  2867. Correct!
    2
  2868.  @RockawayCCW  Yep. Ctrl-C to kill a running process.
    2
  2869. Get well soon, Alex! ;)
    2
  2870. Back to the old grindstone. :D
    2
  2871. Not a bad idea.
    2
  2872. Arco Linux
    2
  2873. Didn't know we had that in the official repos. Probably should do that one instead of the AUR package.
    2
  2874. LSD isn't a file manager. All it does is list contents of a directory. Vifm, ranger, mc, etc are proper file managers that let you navigate the directory structure, copy, delete, move, edit, and all the other stuff you would expect a file manager to handle.
    2
  2875. Thanks! Appreciate that.
    2
  2876. You bet!
    2
  2877. What kinda bothers me is that most of the patches are sooooo small. Just a few lines of codes added/deleted/modified. Why not just ship with all this included? Are a few extra lines of code really "bloat"?
    2
  2878. Thanks, Karl. I lament the lack of 32 bit support by the "big" distros these days. But there will always be distros like AntiX or Puppy out there. That's what's great about Linux and this community.
    2
  2879. Should work on any distro.
    2
  2880. Thanks, Loopesther. I read your message while I was recording this video. Thought I'd add it to the show. ;)
    2
  2881. Just do the chroot again and install grub.
    2
  2882. If you are using a theme, many of them have settings for "font-lock-comment-face" which could override what we added in the config. Also, some fonts don't have italics...but that's not the case since you are using JetBrains and Ubuntu.
    2
  2883.  @christer8964  Do you have access to the theme file (some-theme.el)? If so, you can look for where they set "font-lock-comment-face" and add an " :italics t " to that line. Otherwise, you can try to install some other themes and see if one of them works for you. Or you can create your own which is what I plan to do on the next video in this series. ;)
    2
  2884.  @christer8964  If you want to install a nice collection of themes, then do a (use-package doom-themes). Then add the following line after that: (load-theme 'name-of theme t) where name-of-theme is the actual name of theme. For example (load-theme 'doom-one t). For a list of the themes, do M-x load-theme....and you should get a list to choose from.
    2
  2885. Haha. Other than my DT shirts I wear on many of my videos, I'm usually in business casual wear. Very occasionally, I will wear t-shirts when I pop into other folk's live streams....especially in the evening.
    2
  2886. XFCE is just plain awesome.
    2
  2887. Am subscribed to Bryan but he's not anywhere close to being #1 and will never reach that goal...maybe when it was new and very people were on it, but not now. https://lbry.social/lbrynomics/top-lbry-channels/ Too many channels on the platform now with far bigger audiences. Veritasium has almost 7 million subs on YouTube. And new channels are joining every day including some of the big channels on YouTube.
    2
  2888. I don't believe I have tried Slax.
    2
  2889. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles
    2
  2890. Xmonad doesn't have a builtin bar but there is a bar called Xmobar that's written in Haskell and designed to work with Xmonad.
    2
  2891. Section 1. Read the @#$%ing Manual Section 2. See Section 1
    2
  2892. You might be OK for stuff like your browser, but you ain't getting the kernel installed via snap. So that's the big problem.
    2
  2893. Thanks, AD2.
    2
  2894. If it's working for you, stick with it!
    2
  2895. I can see myself sticking with it as well. This isn't the first time I've lived in a tiler for a bit. But it always seems like....I eventually install Openbox and remember how much Iove Openbox. :D
    2
  2896. Not free and open source, but TeamViewer has always worked well for me.
    2
  2897. Run openbox for years on real hardware including the first few months of this channel. Or do you mean specifically Arco w/openbox.
    2
  2898. Yea...not sure if I want to really work on this thing though. :D
    2
  2899. You and ratpoison! :D
    2
  2900. Thanks, P. Ricard.
    2
  2901. I thought about OpenSUSE. But went with Manjaro instead for 2018. Maybe OpenSUSE gets loaded on this machine in 2019. :D
    2
  2902. Xorg.
    2
  2903. The Gentoo is slow....horribly slow...but you know that going in. I didn't expect to have the problems I had with Sabayon...but in fairness, it was a minimal ISO that was one year old. So there's that.
    2
  2904. He probably won't appear in the standard sorting by relevance. Sort by upload date, and he will be near the top of the results (he uploaded an Emacs video 10 days ago).
    2
  2905. I've done some of them on real machines! :D
    2
  2906. Thanks, Chris.
    2
  2907. Read the pinned comment. You now have to install the linux kernel as part of the base install.
    2
  2908. Thanks, Jack! Appreciate your support. :D
    2
  2909. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3uNdctyhwc
    2
  2910. Glad it helped!
    2
  2911. Is that a question? You don't get to claim "first" by being timid.
    2
  2912. The sheet music is centuries old and not under copyright. Recorded performances, however, are owned by the artist or music label that put that produced that recording.
    2
  2913. Haven't used it. Don't know anything about it.
    2
  2914. Congrats! :D
    2
  2915. Not home at the moment, so I'm not looking at my config. But check it out on my gitlab and look for a keybinding of M-space. That's what I use to toggle full screen.
    2
  2916.  @maeglingondolinsbane3446  I'm not using polybar so I'm not sure but... In my config: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Line 812 I set Mod+Space to toggle a layout that I have NBFULL (which is fullscreen, no borders around windows, and this command also toggleStruts (meaning allow the windows to cover up panels/docks).
    2
  2917. Ive been using x264 on my recent videos. VAAPI was having some issues.
    2
  2918. Ymi_Yugy All perform similar tasks. The main difference is syntax.
    2
  2919. Might want to check the show description. ;)
    2
  2920. Security would be a reason to run Hugo. Static sites have fewer security concerns, specifically the lack of a database to hack. I wouldn't trust Hugo's builtin web server though (except on localhost, of course). I'd stick to Apache or Nginx for a web server.
    2
  2921. To review Qubes I would have to install on physical hardware (won't run in a VM due to all the containerization stuff), so it might be awhile before I get around to it. But I would love to check it out. Very unique distro!
    2
  2922. Thanks for sharing
    2
  2923. Great to hear, Kevin!
    2
  2924. Great point!
    2
  2925. 'exa' died. 'eza' is the new project.
    2
  2926. It's one of the basic food groups.
    2
  2927. I noticed that upon rewatching it. Strange. There were also multiple "english" filters depending on the language and spelling.
    2
  2928. Thanks, Fabrizio!
    2
  2929. I put it in the description of the video. For some reason, I forgot to mention it on camera. But the minimal install has 1509 packages taking up right at 5G of space. The full has 1550 packages installed taking 5.5G of disk space.
    2
  2930. Debian offers some interesting choices for certain users...like their mini.iso (a really minimal iso). Debian also offers the option of stable, testing or unstable branches. Ubuntu is definitely a better out-of-the-box experience for a new user. Ubuntu also has PPAs (Debian does not). Ubuntu has a regular release schedule too.
    2
  2931. Not my proudest moment. :D
    2
  2932. An untrusted script shouldn't be in any directory on your system. Executing a malicious script is bad, whether it is in /usr/ bin or in your $HOME. If you don't absolutely trust the script or know what the code is going to do, just don't mess with it.
    2
  2933. >Worst tried distro yet? There have been at least half a dozen distros I intended to review on this channel but did not because I couldn't get them to work at all.
    2
  2934. Thanks, Cesar. Appreciate that.
    2
  2935. You bet!
    2
  2936. It's always been a distro that just works.
    2
  2937. Type :Vifm (or :VsplitVifm or :SplitVifm or whatever) once you've installed it. By the way, in case it isn't obvious...you need vifm installed too. ;)
    2
  2938. So I just tried this in standard vim rather than neovim and I get errors too. I get complaints about "Default color scheme is not supported by the terminal". But once I hit enter it launches Vifm. Not sure what the issue could be. In neovim, everything works just fine.
    2
  2939. OK, I solved my problem with regular vim. My vifm config sets a colorscheme in it. Commenting out that line solved my issue. Not sure about you guys that vifm.vim isn't working at all. Try using my config, and then running :PluginInstall or :PluginUpdate: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.config/nvim/init.vim
    2
  2940. If he's just using this as a video alert account, why post older videos of mine? And why retweet posts by other Linux personalities on this account? It's a little weird.
    2
  2941. Well, to be fair...there is a bit of price difference so I wasn't expecting these mics to be comparable.
    2
  2942. Glad it helped!
    2
  2943. I'm the same way Andrew. I use cmus (for my local files), pianobar (for Pandora) and now curseradio (for internet radio). I don't really need a GUI player.
    2
  2944. I need to take a look at Puppy soon.
    2
  2945. Use a package called org-bullets. Add it to you packages.el (if your using Doom): (package! org-bullets) Add this to your config.el: (require 'org-bullets) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (org-bullets-mode 1)))
    2
  2946. Correct. Although I explained what the install script will do, you shouldn't just take my word for it. Read the install script yourself: https://github.com/scopatz/nanorc/blob/master/install.sh
    2
  2947. You got put in some work but it's a pretty rewarding experience once it's setup.
    2
  2948. What I am thinking of doing is running some of these distros off a live USB stick ocasionally for these videos. Of course, I won't be showing an install in those videos, but it would give a better representation of how the distro works with physical hardware.
    2
  2949. I, too, have fallen in love with this mic. Was a big upgrade from the Blue Yeti that I used previously.
    2
  2950. Forgot to show cmus in this video because this is a recent install. I have not put all of my music back onto this machine yet. Glad you reminded me, I need to do that.
    2
  2951. Arco Linux with the qtile window manager (my own qtile configs, not Arco's). Check my GitLab for my qtile config.
    2
  2952. You need to make the directory first. Use mkdir to create the directory.
    2
  2953. Hey, thanks!
    2
  2954. AUR packages are just build scripts/install scripts. You can make AUR packages that just install an AppImage (or Snaps or Flatpaks). And you will find all of these in the AUR.
    2
  2955. While I like checking out other people's configs to see what they are doing, I really don't suggest just using someone's entire config for your tiling window manager. The point is to create your own config suited to your own particular needs. Also, you need to how to configure your window manager, otherwise...what happens when the person you copied changes their entire config? Well, I guess you have to change with them. That's not a good situation to be in.
    2
  2956. Don't get too distracted from work! :D
    2
  2957. I've had others asking for shorter vids. I should mix it up a bit and do some sub-5 minute type videos on occasion.
    2
  2958. >Did you attempt to use the text based manual installer? Didn't work either. I don't think Guix likes my nvme drives.
    2
  2959. Thanks, tubela. >Looking forward to your review of Windows subsystem for Linux Haha.
    2
  2960. Thanks. Wondering about that. The website wasn't clear on country of origin either.
    2
  2961. Thanks!
    2
  2962. Isn't VirtualBox a qt app? Too lazy to check. If so, then use 'qt5ct' to change the theme. ;)
    2
  2963. It will work regardless of DE/WM. The DE/WM has nothing to do with the qt/gtk theme of your programs.
    2
  2964. No idea on that one. I usually just use the themes that are already on my distro.
    2
  2965. Manjaro is awesome!
    2
  2966. Yea, I tried to order one 3 times. People would tell me it's back in stock and by the time I get to the website--sold out. So when you see it in stock, grab one quick!
    2
  2967. What are you running, Mark?
    2
  2968. UB has your Cliffs Notes.
    2
  2969. Nice!
    2
  2970. But the Windows popup says it's safer and faster than Firefox/Chrome! :D
    2
  2971. Thanks, T LOVE. I wouldn't say this is a tutorial that should be followed. Mainly, I just wanted people to see how "the process" of installing something like Gentoo and that it isn't hard. Read the wiki, type in the command line, rinse and repeat. Alot of people think these installs are scarier than they really are.
    2
  2972. I've been playing with a similar idea. A dmenu script that controls the deadbeef player, gets tracks info, or loads playlists.
    2
  2973.  @knife1406  ​ @knife1406 Here is a link to the torrent for Parrot 6.1 Home: https://download.parrot.sh/parrot/iso/6.1/Parrot-home-6.1_amd64.iso.torrent And here is the torrent for Parrot 6.1 Security: https://download.parrot.sh/parrot/iso/6.1/Parrot-security-6.1_amd64.iso.torrent
    2
  2974. Thank you , sir!
    2
  2975. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  2976. More openbox stuff to come soon. Thin clients and encryption are also topics I will look at it in the future. My background...I'm just a normal guy. I don't have any professional training with computers and my real job does not involve Linux or computers.
    2
  2977. No, .in is the Indian domain extension (pretty common domain extension, alot of Indian websites).
    2
  2978. Happy New Year, my friend.
    2
  2979. qtile...configs are on my GitLab.
    2
  2980. Qtile's builtin bar.
    2
  2981. You actually don't miss having a "close" button once you set a keybind to kill your windows. It's actually alot easier to kit a key command than grabbing a mouse and traveling across the screen to find a button.
    2
  2982. Thanks, Mitchel!
    2
  2983. I think that plan has been shelved. The switch to Qt was planned when they had a full-time lead dev. Now, that's probably never going to happen.
    2
  2984. Yes you are!
    2
  2985. >Firstly, if I download the snap version of VLC will that automatically include libdvdcss2 as part of the sandbox? Of course, this was up to whoever packaged VLC as a snap. But a quick scan of the vlc snap on my system....libdvdcss does not come up with a "locate libdvdcss". So I'm going to say it's not there.
    2
  2986. Kdenlive
    2
  2987. Yea, it probably has something to do with me running this in VBox (that popup I got about software rendering mode).
    2
  2988. That poor cow!
    2
  2989. Love Ubuntu. Love openbox. What's not to like! Take care, brother!
    2
  2990. Elwood M. Buel Agreed on the workflow. We need one of the tiling managers ported over to Haiku.
    2
  2991. Congrats! No need to even acknowledge "first" any longer. Alex has that thing on lockdown.
    2
  2992. GNU/Linux is supposed to hurt a little bit. :D
    2
  2993. Good stuff. Thanks!
    2
  2994. Yea. That's the openbox window manager I'm using in this video. The focused window has a teal border around it. The theme is Mabox Superdesk.
    2
  2995. You bet!
    2
  2996. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  2997. Thanks for the tip!
    2
  2998. Well said, sir. Kind of like we make fun of that one Youtuber that uses i3. We are not necessarily trying to be mean-spirited. He just needs to learn that there are other window managers out there. :D
    2
  2999. I've never even considered changing anything on the Kensington. The default settings work just fine for me, and I would guess would probably be fine for most people.
    2
  3000. Thanks, Mr. Whole!
    2
  3001. MX is great. But you are right...ArchLabs is almost tailor-made for me. Love that distro! Thanks, Karl.
    2
  3002. Thanks, Thomas.
    2
  3003. Honestly, even that is convoluted. Since the Vim bindings also work... :sp or :vs :D
    2
  3004. The problem with Gnome Disks is that it is a Gnome app. :D
    2
  3005. Might be something I do down the road. It will involve a lot of time which is something I don't have much of at the moment. Especially if I record the install in a VM using just one or two cores of my CPU. The compiling could take days. :D
    2
  3006. Ah! A vim joke! Nice. :D
    2
  3007. Yea, it's strange to base your distro off Ubuntu but disable one of it's best features.
    2
  3008. Arch w/i3? Never heard of it. j/k
    2
  3009. Not yet. But stay tuned.
    2
  3010. Thanks for the info.
    2
  3011. 0103.jpg in my wallpapers repo on my GitLab. Link: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers
    2
  3012. Don't have any 4K monitors so I don't know anything about this. Best to ask this question in a support forum or IRC channel for the DE/WM that you are interested in.
    2
  3013. Thanks, Aqil.
    2
  3014. What I did was do a search for my microphone model "re27 n/d" plus the word "pop filter". Then I clicked on the first search result and ordered from that company (can't remember who it was).
    2
  3015. Hell yea. Love q4OS. That would be fantastic on aging hardware!
    2
  3016. Of course! Only the elite know about Linux and Vegemite. :D
    2
  3017. The shell does not use your vim (or emacs) configs because you are not actually running Vim/Emacs. You're just running the shell, and the shell has its own config file (the .bashrc for instance, in bash). I'm pretty sure you could re-bind the command to go to normal mode from ESC to jj or anything else. In bash, you'd use the 'bind' command. Type 'bind' and hit TAB and you will see all of the possibilities. I think vi-movement-mode is the one you are looking for..
    2
  3018. Window managers typically don't have screen lockers builtin. You install one if you want. So install i3lock if that's the one you've been using with i3.
    2
  3019. I don't use Ranger and I don't use w3m image previews. But I do use Ueberzug image previews and it works just fine in all 5 of these terminals. So if Ranger allows, use Ueberzug instead of w3m-img and your previews should work pretty much on every terminal.
    2
  3020. Considering this is a Haskell module, it really wouldn't make much sense to try to use this with any window managers other than Xmonad.
    2
  3021.  @duncan-mcrae  I've never used Wayland. For all of my video stuff, I need Xorg.
    2
  3022. I suggest you take a modern KDE distro and skin it to look like "Hannah."
    2
  3023. I've considered it.
    2
  3024. You'd be better off with Mint. It's a much more mature product than Endless OS.
    2
  3025. It's OK, bigpod. I ain't scared!
    2
  3026. I will need some help. ;)
    2
  3027. Tabliss. I did a video on this extension. Available for Firefox and Chrome.
    2
  3028. Thanks, Mitchel. Appreciate that!
    2
  3029. Hope it helps.
    2
  3030. Haven't looked at it. Been using Dropbox forever but it may be time to explore other options.
    2
  3031. I wonder if Shia LaBeouf is introverted.
    2
  3032. Yea...it takes YT a few minutes to finish processing. 1080 should available now.
    2
  3033. Love me some Lubuntu. So light and fast. I've got some ancient computers in my closet that run Lubuntu no problem.
    2
  3034. Just a quirk with my Threadripper. It has a 27 degree offset that makes it read hotter than what it really is. No need to worry.
    2
  3035. Good to know. Maybe I should take a look at the gaming spin at some point.
    2
  3036. Kubuntu isn't rolling so even if they went with 5.14, you'd still end up wishing you had those future KDE versions that will be released during the life cycle of this distro. 5.13 is solid imo (keep in mind , I don't use Plasma).
    2
  3037. Great idea!
    2
  3038. I've played with w3m a bit. It's not a bad browser.
    2
  3039. I have actually talked about trading software on Linux in a couple of videos before. I may do a deeper dive into this in the future.
    2
  3040. Thanks, Patrik.
    2
  3041. Much appreciated, John. :D
    2
  3042. The LSB: "First, let's standardize on one package manager...and choose rpm. " The 70-80% of users with Debian-based machines: "lol." And the LSB has never wanted to accept any input from Debian. So Debian finally just dropped it : https://lwn.net/Articles/658809/
    2
  3043. It does!
    2
  3044. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of these WMs myself. Should be fun.
    2
  3045. FoxtrotMikefm Will try that. Thanks.
    2
  3046. It would be. :D
    2
  3047. The default bar that comes with qtile. ;)
    2
  3048. I do need to check out ratpoison at some point.
    2
  3049. Thanks, Gabi. Take care.
    2
  3050. Aren't Ubuntu and SUSE in the Microsoft store now? I didn't check but pretty sure they are.
    2
  3051. I'm sure Linux Mint adds some of their own repos to this. So switching Debian's repos would almost certainly break dependencies and bork your system. If you want a rolling release, you really shouldn't be on Mint.
    2
  3052. Did they? That's good, at least.
    2
  3053. Thanks, Dan. I'll definitely check out Slackware at some point on the channel.
    2
  3054. Thanks, Joe!
    2
  3055. :D
    2
  3056. Thanks, RockawayCCW.
    2
  3057. >The end of time is a long time Hopefully.
    2
  3058. I've considered doing some polling with the website. And will check out Heads soon. Thanks!
    2
  3059. Thanks, James! :D
    2
  3060. The fish shell.
    2
  3061. That's unfortunate.
    2
  3062. Go to my GitLab and check the shell-color-scripts repository.
    2
  3063. And so it begins... The nano crew should arrive shortly.
    2
  3064. It does cause some people to have crazy thoughts and then to speak on them without realizing it.
    2
  3065. It's just like the sun. Never look directly at it.
    2
  3066. I will neither confirm nor deny that.
    2
  3067. If you boot into MX with systemd, then it will work just fine. If you are using sysvinit, I'm not certain snaps will work. Might want to check out the MX site. Looks like a quick search brings up this: https://mxlinux.org/wiki/applications/snap-packages-and-mx-linux/
    2
  3068. :D
    2
  3069. Yea it's longer than it needs to be. I might shorten the feet...when/if I break this down and move it again.
    2
  3070. Hmmmm...
    2
  3071. Nice!
    2
  3072. The creator of Arco Linux (Erik Dubois) has a YouTube channel with thousands of video about Arco. I know he's done videos specifically about changing from QWERTY to AZERTY. Just do a search on his channel.
    2
  3073. Glad you enjoyed this, samir.
    2
  3074. No. Unfortuantely.
    2
  3075. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3076. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSha9Mgympw
    2
  3077. IceWM was using 189MB of RAM in this video. So that's a difference. ;)
    2
  3078. Thanks, AL.
    2
  3079. Congrats!
    2
  3080. Johan B. I have smart and stupid moments. That way I keep everyone guessing.
    2
  3081. Ubuntu (GNOME), Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Budgie, Ubuntu Kylin (Chinese), Ubuntu Studio....probably more I'm missing.
    2
  3082. Thanks, Elstan. Surprised how many people find this stuff interesting. My sister (not a Linux user) has watched some of videos and says she can't understand anything and that I run a "nerd channel." :D
    2
  3083. I would guess that all the big open source projects would bail on GitHub if Microsoft bought it.
    2
  3084. Thanks, Toran. I'll probably put a VB image on SourceForge each time I configure a window manager. By the end, we should have a Manjaro image with 12 WMs...somewhat configured and ready for use.
    2
  3085. I actually thought about Ratpoison....for about two seconds. No, just no.
    2
  3086. Thanks, liOnux.
    2
  3087. Wait a sec. Dmscripts doesn't have any kind of clipboard manager? It does not! Hmm.....I should correct that problem. ;))
    2
  3088. Dmenu (when using dmenu_run) only lists executable binaries in /bin and /usr/bin. It does not list .desktop files. But I'm sure you could create a dmenu script to list your .desktop files. Wouldn't take but a few lines of shell scripting.
    2
  3089. You'd have at least 20 or 30 bucks.
    2
  3090. Hope it works well for you, Dex.
    2
  3091. Just works for me. But I have 1500 packages installed on this system, so something else probably pulled in whatever is needed to make those YT videos work.
    2
  3092. Jenna Ates Yea I spent countless seconds coming up with these lyrics.
    2
  3093. Yep, just have urxvtd (the daemon) load on startup. Then open your terminals with urxvtc (the clients). Not sure if it really saves you much on memory, if it's worth it. But like you, I'm intrigued.
    2
  3094. I know. That's exactly what I'm trying to get away from.
    2
  3095. I was running Manjaro when I made this video.
    2
  3096. Oh, in my config I have a keybinding to "toggle struts": https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs (Line 167)
    2
  3097. DNS issue. May take some time.
    2
  3098. Thanks, ritual!
    2
  3099. I would recommend Sabayon for most people. Redcore has smaller repos, less mirrors and only comes in one desktop flavor (LXQt).
    2
  3100. Thanks, Kevin.
    2
  3101. StumpWM needs to make an apology video to me! :D
    2
  3102. Will depend on the terminal color scheme. The only real solution is to just ditch the dialog boxes altogether and instead just echo everything in the terminal. Might be the way to go in the future.
    2
  3103. The RAM usage would have been uncharacteristically high in 4 of these flavors because I used ZFS. So I decided against showing the RAM in htop because people might get the wrong idea that they were resource hogs.
    2
  3104. Normalize and amplify are not the same. I actually did normalize the audio clip off-camera but decided it actually degraded the sound a bit (with the clip I was working with) so I didn't go with it. When you speak of workflow, I actually don't process my audio at all post-production these days. I do all my suppression, compression and eq with hardware while recording. Although I could achieve the same effects with software in post-production if it was necessary.
    2
  3105. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3106. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/conky
    2
  3107. Although I haven't experimented with any, I do know one popular Emacs plugin is "beacon". When you move the cursor the new line blinks a little. https://github.com/Malabarba/beacon
    2
  3108. Thanks, BOSS. Much appreciated.
    2
  3109. Agreed, Rob. Karl does outstanding work.
    2
  3110. Thanks, Ron.
    2
  3111. Interesting ideas. And more trombone? That might be fun.
    2
  3112. The real problem is that modern web browsers (and the modern web) is very heavy. Firefox and Chrome need a gig of RAM really. I wish there was a solution to this problem but there isn't. Modern websites/browsers are heavy and bloated and use too many system resources.
    2
  3113. I've never forgiven OpenSUSE for that.
    2
  3114. Speaking of pot pie, I might have to cook another one this evening. At least it's a cheap meal. :D
    2
  3115. Thank you, sir. I wish you the best on your YouTube journey.
    2
  3116. Thanks, Karl. Appreciate that, my friend.
    2
  3117. I like that idea!
    2
  3118. I'm just echo'ing a unicode checkmark symbol to the terminal. It's possible some fonts may have issues with that. I'm not sure though.
    2
  3119. Awesome! (pun intended).
    2
  3120. My xmobar now uses FontAwesome for those icons. Make sure you install FontAwesome.
    2
  3121. I've not played with theming myself. But a quick "grep" for doom-themes in .emacs.d lists the following directory for me: /home/dt/.emacs.d.doom/.local/straight/repos/emacs-doom-themes/themes I would assume that's the source. I don't know about editing anything there specifically though. It may get overwritten if the doom-themes package gets updated. Might be something to ask on the Doom Github.
    2
  3122. Cool! Thanks for sharing!
    2
  3123. Yea, surprised that Pep 9 doesn't ship with some sort of backup software.
    2
  3124. Wallpaper is one of the default Arco linux wallpapers.
    2
  3125. So many different ways to autostart programs but I typically have my window managers execute the startups. If you look at my config: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/qtile/config.py Lines 556-561. It executes bash script on startup. In that script, I launch compton, restore my wallpaper with nitrogen, etc.
    2
  3126. I made up for that when I messed up the outro. ;)
    2
  3127. Thanks, Gaïus. Good to know that they have a good support team.
    2
  3128. I want to defend BSD and Haiku...but I can't. I won't pretend that they are ready for mass adoption.
    2
  3129. Agreed! This should be the main edition of Ubuntu!
    2
  3130. Check out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Swap&redirect=no#Swappiness
    2
  3131. Soon.
    2
  3132. I just noticed that there were more recent versions. I honestly did not catch that before. There download page is a bit confusing. They mention four different desktops (MATE, xfce, GNOME, KDE) but then the four ISOs below that are all MATE versions starting with the oldest one. Why are they even offering those old ISOs on the main download page? I might pick a more recent version of Namib to look at in the future.
    2
  3133. Don't worry. We may revisit Windows 10 in the future anyway. I'm not totally dismissing the possibility of trying it out at some point.
    2
  3134. I was using Manjaro. This was the i3 window manager at the time (I used i3 for three weeks recently). The terminal might have been xterm in this video. The terminal I used for most of my earlier videos was urxvt. The terminal I use currently is st. All fine choices.
    2
  3135. Oh nice. I will definitely check out the LXQt version when it is released.

  3137. Most distros (including Fedora) are dropping 32 bit support. But you can still find 32 bit ISOs here: Alternate downloads page https://alt.fedoraproject.org/
    2
  3138. The "windows" key. Mac calls it "command" key. That particular key used to be SUPER back in the day. We, Linux nerds, prefer to still call it SUPER...especially to calling it the Windows key. Lol.
    2
  3139. Didn't mean to be so negative towards Wine. But it serves no purpose. Just install Windows in a VM if you ABSOLUTELY need to run Windows-only software. If the programs you ABSOLUTELY need to run require more resources than a VM will allow, then you probably just need to stick to running Windows.
    2
  3140. Great! Will definitely take a look at it soon. Take care.
    2
  3141. I had issues in urxvt, xterm and st.
    2
  3142. One easy way to get rid of them is to write "DONE" at the beginning of your top level headers, since in my custom agenda view, it filters out all items marked with "DONE."
    2
  3143. In my config, super+hjkl moves focus to my other monitors. Super+shift+hjkl moves the window with focus to a different monitor. Haven't been on bspwm long at all but it seems to be able to move windows anywhere you want them to go, just like any other tiler.
    2
  3144. I've had people ask it. But honestly, I don't need to create an ISO when all you need is my config files. And I have those hosted over on GitLab for anyone to use.
    2

  3146. Element Finland Haven't done much with it yet.
    2
  3147. I don't do much on my phone other than making calls and sending texts. I have the Brave browser, Tootdon (a mastodon client), LBRY, and Nextcloud.
    2
  3148. Oh, I knew you would back me up on this, Bob! :D
    2
  3149. Merry Christmas a Happy New Year!
    2
  3150. Thanks, Steve.
    2
  3151. I knew it wasn't just me! :D
    2
  3152. Back on top!
    2
  3153. Thanks, Renard. I do like MATE too.
    2
  3154. Thanks, Rudi.
    2
  3155. Odysee is a US company. Obviously, they have to follow US laws. So if there is a DMCA request made, they are legally required to act on it. That's not censorship. That's being smart and not getting fined or imprisoned for not obeying the law.
    2
  3156. I'm hear to serve whatever role is needed. :D
    2
  3157. Choice is one of our greatest strengths!
    2
  3158. Sleep deprivation and a lack of coffee will do that to you. :D
    2
  3159. I may look at Nix further down the road.
    2
  3160. Will write that one down. Thanks.
    2
  3161. Thanks, Yuriy!
    2
  3162. I apologize. I thought I mentioned this at the beginning of this video. Click the CHANNELS tab and you will see every channel I am subscribed to.
    2
  3163. I thought the book appropriate since I was covering a proprietary program. Nice catch! :D
    2
  3164. I almost spit out my coffee this morning when I saw your thumbnail! :D
    2
  3165. And I appreciate you, sir. Take care.
    2
  3166. Nice tip!
    2
  3167. Agreed!
    2
  3168. Happy New Year. I love that right-click menu. There are only two things it lacks that Openbox had. (1)Pipemenus (dynamically created menus) that I could write a shell script or a python script to execute custom menus. (2) I also don't like how when the mouse moves off the already-opened right-click menu, the menu closes. It should stay open until I click something on the menu or I click on the desktop.
    2
  3169. Just a minor addendum so your bash shell can source the broot launcher. Nothing to worry about.
    2
  3170. Oh, by the way, it also appends a line to your .zshrc if you have one.
    2
  3171. Everything in moderation. Take care, sir.
    2
  3172. Thanks, Serge. Need to look into this pamageli tool you mentioned. I would imagine that Adrien has videos on it.
    2
  3173. Randy Blankenship Thank you, sir.
    2
  3174. neofetch
    2
  3175. I like Solus. Ran it for a few months on one of my laptops in 2018. Also had it on my main production machine for a few weeks in 2018. It seems like a solid distro. One complaint: the repos aren't that big.
    2
  3176. Thanks, Poison!
    2
  3177. Confirmed!
    2
  3178. Yep, I screwed that up. Unnecessary BLOAT! :D
    2
  3179. Either is fine.
    2
  3180. Great to hear. I will probably put one of the 19.10''s on my Thinkpad.
    2
  3181. It's fine. I get this comment all the time. The video link is just my "go to" response. Otherwise I'd have to type out a response....hundreds of times by now.
    2
  3182. Not a bad distro at all.
    2
  3183. Happy New Year, Garth!
    2
  3184. Hi Colin. I'm doing OK. Thanks! :D
    2
  3185. Thanks. Hope it helped you.
    2
  3186. Sweet!
    2
  3187. My videos are available on other "free" platforms. You don't have to watch them here.
    2
  3188.  @LinuxLearner  If there is an error syncing the repos, then that has nothing to do with your locales. Check your /etc/pacman.conf. Go to the end of the file and make sure the dtos-core-repo information was added correctly. I know that Erik Dubois's video yesterday he had an issue where the script didn't modify the pacman.conf correctly..
    2
  3189. ip addr show
    2
  3190. It's really no more than what other window managers pull in for dependencies. The only reason it seems so is because most people won't already have Haskell and the ghc compiler on the system, where the other window manager that use things like C or Python, most people will already have those dependencies installed.
    2
  3191. Worst DE ever!
    2
  3192. Glad you liked it!
    2
  3193. I can see that.
    2
  3194. Absolutely no chance that I won't check out a major release of Solus. :D
    2
  3195. Branding has never been a priority with free and open source software. See: gimp, deadbeef, scrot, fsck...and (my favorite) ncmpcppcppcpp (or whatever that music player is).
    2
  3196. If you are using my xmonad config, I have it launch three instances of xmobar, one on each of my three monitors (1920x1080). So you can play with the number of xmobar instances you need, and you can specify their position and coordinates.
    2
  3197. Generally speaking, there are five FOSS licenses that are common: MIT, BSD, Apache, GPL, and MPL (and variations on all these licenses). If the license of a program isn't one of those 5 (or an obvious variant of them), then it's best to just assume it's proprietary unless you do some further research.
    2
  3198. A package of saltines. I had a bag of pretzels sitting on the desk, and I moved them to get them out of the camera view. How did I miss those crackers?
    2
  3199. Yea....I would NEVER run this distro myself. But I defintely would install it on, say, my mother's computer. I know she will be able to find the browser to get to Facebook. That's all she needs. And the distro is stable.
    2
  3200. Teeworlds is addictive as hell!
    2
  3201. A shell? Fish is THE shell! :D
    2
  3202. I've got it on my "to do" list. Not sure when/if I will get around to it.
    2
  3203. No. Still a few days away.
    2
  3204. Thanks, Demiray.
    2
  3205. Thanks, cyndn.
    2
  3206. Good to hear, Randy!
    2
  3207. That doesn't reload your shell. That executes your user's default shell...which may or may not be the one that you are currently in.
    2
  3208. Much appreciated!
    2
  3209. Installed Arco Linux a couple of weeks ago. I was using the qtile window manager in this video. I've made a few videos about qtile in the past.
    2
  3210. Glad you like it!
    2
  3211. You can use the arrows in insert mode, but really you are supposed to move in normal mode because it's faster for everything but the smallest of movements..
    2
  3212. Ah, good to know that is has that feature. Really useful.
    2
  3213. Thanks, Primal. Still very much a work in progress.
    2
  3214. Thanks, Randy.
    2
  3215. Thanks, Serge. And switching the display manager saves 350MB of RAM? The problems with GNOME are far worse then I thought.
    2
  3216. I plan to look at more tiling WMs and alot more CLI apps.
    2
  3217. You can install and remove kernels using it. It's a simple little GUI that lists some of the latest kernels and the past LTS kernels. Beside each kernel, there is an install button...except besides the ones you already have.
    2
  3218. Congrats, Randy. Hope you enjoy PeppermintOS. I really like what that distro is doing.
    2
  3219. Thanks, Felix.
    2
  3220. I love braindead installs! I want a 15-minute or under install. I have too much other stuff to do than to waste time installing and configuring stuff.
    2
  3221. As I stated in the video, I couldn't get this to work in virt-manager.
    2
  3222. Good point, Rob.
    2
  3223. I installed the i3 edition of Manjaro but I'm not using i3. I'm using the qtile window manager.
    2
  3224. No problem 👍
    2
  3225. You worded that just fine. And it works perfectly, showing only the visible workspace(s). Thanks!
    2
  3226. Finding the config with a simple "locate xmonad.hs" in the terminal was easy. Now knowing that alt-shift-enter opens your terminal...that's the tricky part. :D
    2
  3227. A no-brainer!
    2
  3228. Yea, it didn't make sense how long that kernel compilation was taking, which is why I scrapped it and installed a binary. But the binary install took like 20 mins. Not sure why. But the VM was definitely not acting right. I probably should have tried a reboot. That fixes everything! :D
    2
  3229. Did you install the linux kernel? It's no longer installed by default. sudo pacman -S linux
    2
  3230. Powerlevel10k theme for zsh.
    2
  3231. Yep, I did not mean to add those couple of minutes to this video. Screwed up yet again. Story of my life.
    2
  3232.  @free-john_2008  Mom is so nice, I had talk about her twice.
    2
  3233. I created individual xmobar configs for each color scheme, and it also gets set via me changing the "import Colors" value. I should have mentioned it on this video but forgot. I talked about the xmobar color configs and conky color configs on a previous video.
    2
  3234. Great idea!
    2
  3235. Thanks, ritual!
    2
  3236. Great idea!
    2
  3237. Missed it by a few seconds.
    2
  3238. It means nothing as far as the "git" program. It is open source software. Microsoft can't buy it. GitHub is just a git host. There are pleny of alternatives for hosting your projects though.
    2
  3239. Or you use Aura which is written in glorious Haskell. :D
    2
  3240. Nothing too special. AMD FX 6300 CPU (6-core). NVIDIA 1060. 16G RAM.
    2
  3241. >I'm absolutely no commandline guru Neither am I. I'm constantly learning new things that I didn't know were possible. Part of the fun is the journey.
    2
  3242. I'm not sure what you mean. Firefox (or any window) can be fullscreen in xmonad or dwm. In xmonad, here's what I do in my config ( https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.xmonad/xmonad.hs ) On line 808, look at my keybinding for MOD+SPACE. It toggles a layout of mine called noborder/full. This is a fullscreen layout that also removes the border around the window, and also removes avoidStruts allowing the window to cover the panel.
    2
  3243. Speaking of Gentoo, the only real advantage is for those that want to compile all their software. Because of portage and USE flags, you build all of your software with only the features you need. Basically, less bloat.
    2
  3244. That's my 'shell-color-scripts' program. You can find it on my GitLab. I also have it packaged in the AUR and in the dtos-core-repo.
    2
  3245. Drop to a tty. Login as your user and then edit the config file in vim or nano and change that line back to xterm. Or, in a tty, install the st terminal. ;)
    2
  3246. Can;t wait to try out the new Elementary when it's available.
    2
  3247. In terms of ad revenue, YouTube pays me more since Odysee doesn't have an ad network at all. ;) And of course, that's assuming the viewer isn't using adblock. Or that they viewer isn't contributing in other ways like Patreon or PayPal.
    2
  3248. Thanks, gerald!
    2
  3249. Qtile is sexy. It acts very much like xmonad so it's quite easy for me to switch between the two.
    2
  3250. It's slowly gaining attention. I see alot more qtile screenshots on Unixporn these days. :D
    2
  3251. I'm using screenkey to show the keystrokes. It's a common program that should be in most distro's repos.
    2
  3252. Look for the shell-color-scripts repository on my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1
    2
  3253. Thanks, Randy. Hope it works out for you.
    2
  3254. I remember that epic RMS interview. "It's negative in the freedom dimension." lol
    2
  3255. I can't get it to install. I can't even get to a live environment. Just errors out with "plasma failed to load". Hard to review a distro with those kinds of problems.
    2
  3256. Look at my config: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.config/qtile/config.py See all the widget.TextBox with the unicode arrows? That's the trick.
    2
  3257. I purchased the short little intro from a website. I forget the name but there are several sites that sell these sorts of things. Want something a little more tailored to your needs? You can hire a freelancer to make you something.
    2
  3258. Thank you, sir. Appreciate the support!
    2
  3259. Mastodon isn't one monolithic social network. If you don't like mastodon.social, go to another server. Or better yet, setup your own Mastodon server with your own rules.
    2
  3260. Nice tip. Thanks, Victor.
    2
  3261. Oh yea... Manjaro really liked to mess up my PulseAudio configs. Take care, Dorian.
    2
  3262. Install Debian on my desktop? Well....why didn't I think of that?! :D
    2
  3263. Yea, and they are all written in guile. Might be fun to eventually try to package something for Guix since it seems like it's pretty straightforward.
    2
  3264. I have only myself to blame. :D
    2
  3265. Appreciate that, TJ.
    2
  3266. And it keeps getting better.
    2
  3267. CoNfIrMeD.
    2
  3268. Appreciate that.
    2
  3269. I automated most of the work. But I still had to go back and edit each file since the wordpress database that I converted did not originally use thumbnails. So I had to rip all of my thumbs from youtube, and then add them to the appropriate .md files.
    2
  3270. lol.
    2
  3271. I need to do more CLI stuff.
    2
  3272. In my autostart file ( https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.dwm/autostart.sh ) I launch dwmblocks ( https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/dwmblocks ) which calls upon the scripts in .local./bin ( https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.local/bin ). The script called pacupdate ( https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.local/bin/pacupdate ) runs a query in pacman for available updates, gets a line count, and prints the output in the status bar.
    2
  3273. All of my servers run Ubuntu LTS. I'd be mad to run Arch on a server!@
    2
  3274. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  3275. Good points, Ben!
    2
  3276. Yea...distros like ArchLabs, ArchMerge, ArchBang, etc. are great except you will have deal with breakages at some point. Want a stable Openbox experience? Try SalentOS.
    2
  3277. Never heard of it. Will add it to my "to do" list. Thanks.
    2
  3278. Thanks! :D
    2
  3279. Oswald is nice.
    2
  3280. Ah, that's just a terminal program called cmatrix. You see it running in most of my videos. ;)
    2
  3281. Well, at no point in this video did I actually show my desktop. This was just a scene in OBS. All you saw from my actual desktop was my terminal (st). ;)
    2
  3282. broot
    2
  3283. Sure thing.
    2
  3284. Thanks for the video. I did another installation today as well and got the annoying popup warning in awesome too. I need to look into what's causing that..
    2
  3285. It's been asked. I would like to do this but it involves a bit more work and to be honest, some weeks I barely have time to get the YouTube video recorded and edited on time. But it is something I would like to do.
    2
  3286. That menu is dynamically generated based on what you have installed, so if you are running something other than Ubuntu 20.04, then our menus won't look alike.
    2
  3287. It's an ElectroVoice 27 N/D
    2
  3288. I'm using the qtile window manager. The terminal is urxvt.
    2
  3289. What is free software - https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
    2
  3290. Arch w/ Deepin could be nice. Doubt I'll stick with Deepin more than a couple of days. I can't imagine having a big update (100+ packages). That could be an all day job!
    2
  3291. ;)
    2
  3292. Maybe give the Min browser a try (I haven't tried it myself though)
    2
  3293. That is the real Bryan Lunduke. He has been one of my patrons since the very beginning. Great guy!
    2
  3294. Not even close.
    2
  3295. Thanks!
    2
  3296. You want the truth? :D
    2
  3297. That's not Stallman's position at all. He believes everyone can change including Microsoft. He spoke at the Microsoft campus a couple of years ago, at their invitation. If he believed no one could change, then what's the point of even bothering trying to spread the message of Free Software?
    2
  3298. Mostly, I just read the documentation on stuff. Learn to love manpages and the Arch Wiki. ;)
    2
  3299. Yep, boot time is so slow in this distro.
    2
  3300. No clue about any of this. Your best bet to get support questions answered is asking on the Arch forums or asking the Ada devs. Asking random YouTubers (me, Chris, Tom, etc) is rarely going to get you an answer unless, by some miracle, we happen to know about the topic at hand. Linux is much, much, much bigger than any one person. So ask in the proper channels and you will be far more likely to run across someone who knows what you are talking about.
    2
  3301. I need to look at Lollypop closer. Never really used it.
    2
  3302. Yea, that might be the problem.
    2
  3303. That's good to know about multi monitors. I use three monitors so if Deepin doesn't play nice with them, then I can't use it.
    2
  3304. I don't have an extra drive. I'll just dual boot.
    2
  3305. Yes! :D
    2
  3306. Xmonad masterrace! :D
    2
  3307. Thanks, Hulla Dek!
    2
  3308. Thanks, Josh.
    2
  3309. Working on just a couple hours of sleep and a lack of coffee. :D
    2
  3310. There is a bit of a hack to get vifm to display w3m image previews similar to ranger. I wasn't able to get it working correctly though...the images show for me but only for a split second and then disappear. I've been researching other ways to preview images. Haven't come up with a solution that I like yet. Other previews, like text and pdfs, all work just fine in vifm. Vifm can also have icons for files/directories similar to ranger.
    2
  3311. Thanks, Renard.
    2
  3312. Make sure to enable the lightdm service with systemd: sudo systemctl enable lightdm .service Now lightdm should start automatically.
    2
  3313. I did a video on Peppermint 8 ( https://youtu.be/qE7LMqt4fjU ). Loved it. In fact it was one of my Top 5 distros of the year ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIoRHoSJAnw&t=21s ).
    2
  3314. Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated. And can't wait for the CTT Noob vid! :D
    2
  3315. You are correct. Just caught that myself rewatching it. But before you get excited....still won't update/install anything. :D
    2
  3316. I should just point this thing to the "beaver" repos....and watch the carnage that takes place.
    2
  3317. Probably stems from the fact that all Snaps are found in the snapcraft store, and almost all Flatpaks are found in flathub. AppImages really don't have one central place to search for all AppImages. I would guess it's querying AppImageHub.com though.
    2
  3318. Yea, I'm about to start shopping around for an alternative as well. I'll keep you guys posted if I make a change.
    2
  3319. Yea, I actually reviewed SolydX on the channel. May take a look at SolydK at some point too. Thanks, Thomas.
    2
  3320. Trying to be mindful of dependencies. Mpv is almost always already installed on Linux.
    2
  3321. Much appreciated!
    2
  3322. IceWm is the 12th (and last) of the obscure window managers that I initially set out to review. Haven't made a video on IceWm yet. Really need to knock that one out soon. Might get around to it tomorrow actually. But no promises. :D
    2
  3323. Definitely will check it out.
    2
  3324. Confirmed! :D
    2
  3325. Yea, I was thinking about giving the new Zorin a spin. May do that this week.
    2
  3326. Thanks, Renard.
    2
  3327. I can do that. :D
    2
  3328. I like the way you think!
    2
  3329. So.../dev/null is a special file on your system. Anything written to it disappears. Poof!! It's gone! :D
    2
  3330. I'm using all 6 cores of my CPU in Kdenlive.
    2
  3331. Great tip! Thanks!
    2
  3332. Ah, you may be right. I hadn't thought of that.
    2
  3333. Congrats! :D
    2
  3334. Thanks, DT! :D
    2
  3335. Yo yo!
    2
  3336. Glad you like it, David.
    2
  3337. Thanks, Fernando!
    2
  3338. Don't do that.
    2
  3339. Diemotma I think most people would be OK with Ubuntu's GNOME. Or MATE. Or Xubuntu.
    2
  3340. A better font.
    2
  3341. No, you've piqued my curiosity. I must see this video! :D
    2
  3342. Congrats! :D
    2
  3343. It probably needs to be recompiled due to updates to Xmonad/Haskell packages. So open a terminal or a tty and 'xmonad --recompile'. Now you should be able to login again.
    2
  3344. Merry Christmas, my friend.
    2
  3345. Much appreciated, Marc. :D

  3346. Nice screenshot! :D Herbstluftwm seems like a neat little window manager. It definitely behaves a little differently than what I'm used to.
    2
  3347. That's not good. Depending on your age, of course. :D
    2
  3348. Depends on the week.
    2
  3349. I have not. But once I get through the 11 wm's I'm look at initially, I will probably check out a few others. I've had alot of requests for bspwm so I will probably do that one. And I have one ratpoison fan that keeps bugging me about that one. :D
    2
  3350. >I’m thinking of installing Fedora and I’m not sure why. I wonder if there is a support group for people with this problem. :D
    2
  3351. Nice!
    2
  3352. I want people that never tried Arch to not have to bother setting up Linux/KVM/Qemu/Virt-Manager. VirtualBox just works and is available on Windows.
    2
  3353. There are "while" loops in bash. And "for" and "until" loops as well.
    2
  3354. I use Google. :D
    2
  3355. Agreed. But soon, all that will be baked into the kernel.
    2
  3356. I haven't started working on an install script yet. If you want to share something that you've written, then I certainly would appreciate the help.
    2
  3357. Yea, but the Cubs had wait a loooong time to that championship.
    2
  3358. No dmenu here. Just xmonad's own prompt modules. There's several of them available in xmonad-contrib.
    2
  3359. That would be a series of videos! :D
    2
  3360. Congrats!
    2
  3361. Ah, so with this new hybrid mode, there is no longer a need to ever use emerge? For Virtualbox, this was version 6.0.2r127994 running on Manjaro.
    2
  3362. Glad you like them!
    2
  3363. It's not important. That column is "link count". Basically, the number of links created that point to that file/directory. And the link count takes symbolic links into account as well.
    2
  3364. Bind it to whatever. I set it to the arrow keys because Ctrl + hjkl are already binded in my config, and my arrow keys on my Ergo Dox keyboard are in the correct vim order (left, down, up, right) just two rows under the home row. But I understand alot of Vimmers avoid the arrow keys for fear of creating bad habits.
    2
  3365. To make it simple, copy one of these themes into your home folder: https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell/tree/master/powerline_shell/themes Then open up your ~/.powerline-shell.json file and add this: "theme": "~/name-of-theme.py" Want to change colors of the theme? Edit the theme file you copied from github.
    2
  3366. Thanks. Unfortunately, after making this video about cowsay, I came across ponysay on GitHub: https://github.com/erkin/ponysay So I may need to review this one in a future video. :D
    2
  3367. Just install eDEX and you are ready to hold the moon for ransom!
    2
  3368. Much appreciated.
    2
  3369. Do you only read books with images?
    2
  3370. Mario, you need either VLC or mpv for the dependency. I think, on desktops anyway, 95% plus probably have one of those already installed. I think it's a very reasonable dependency.
    2
  3371. Possibly!
    2
  3372. I missed Openbox's pipemenus. :D
    2
  3373. Would be tough to record the install process on physical hardware. But I could also do a VM install and record that. Would be alot easier to record.
    2
  3374. Xmobar.
    2
  3375. Calculate is awesome.
    2
  3376. Yep, did the trick! Thanks, Angelo!
    2
  3377. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSha9Mgympw
    2
  3378. Manjaro has been great. Just time to try something else.
    2
  3379. You don't have to uninstall after 5 yrs. But you should upgrade to a newer version. After 5 years the distro will no longer receive updates...including security updates.
    2
  3380. Good to hear it's working so far.
    2
  3381. In before nano. :D
    2
  3382. Glad you enjoyed this, Ryan.
    2
  3383. Thanks!
    2
  3384. Yep, boot repair would be a welcome feature on any Live distro.
    2
  3385. Not a perfect solution because some of the more niche distros have a different directory structure than your standard distros. So you'd have to edit the makefile to accommodate for that.
    2
  3386. No, updating only your AUR packages is safe. If an AUR package depends on a program that is in the standard repos, it will install that program as well (it will ask you). And why update the AUR separately? Many AUR programs are compiled, so the AUR update can take a long time depending on what you have installed.
    2
  3387. The champ is back! :D
    2
  3388. And the possibilities for i3 are ENDLESS with this thing! :D
    2
  3389. Options are nice to have.
    2
  3390. Hey!
    2
  3391. I have heard from a number of my viewers about the objection to using Patreon and the fact that you cannot pay anonymously. I recently sgined up at Liberapay as another method of accepting donations because it allows anonymous payments. But Liberapay is still very new and doesn't offer the kind of features that Patreon does so it wouldn't be a viable option for Bryan. What really needs to happen is Patreon needs to become more flexible. It needs to allow for anonymous donations. It needs to allow variable pricing based on location, age, etc. Patreon has a lot of room to improve.
    2
  3392. It would seem so.
    2
  3393. You too!
    2
  3394. Hey!
    2
  3395. I posted on 4chan. Not Reddit. ;)
    2
  3396. Thanks, gerald!
    2
  3397. Yea, would be nice if even it displayed a link that could open the image in our default image viewer.
    2
  3398. Good idea. Show how file management is better in the command line. Might do that one.
    2
  3399. I had to go back through the video to find that in the Calamares installer. Good catch on that, Ghiunhan.
    2
  3400. I don't do a lot editing on my videos (due to a lack of time and general laziness). But I do have a video discussing the tools I use to create this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgUDnci-wF4 Hope it helps!
    2
  3401. If you don't have one already installed, install a network manager applet such as "networkmanager". Make sure to add it to awesome's autostart apps so it will be launched and appear in the systray in your panel.
    2
  3402. Wow!
    2
  3403. Not really. Dwm has a set of workspaces (or tags) on each monitor. Xmonad has one set of workspaces shared among all monitors. Dwm has a builtin panel. Xmonad doesn't come with a panel builtin. For a rather lengthy video on the differences between the various tiling window managers, check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obzf9ppODJU
    2
  3404. I did take a look at ArchMerge. Might need to revisit it again at some point.
    2
  3405. Fake news.
    2
  3406. Glad you enjoy it!
    2
  3407. Thanks, Boss.
    2
  3408. Negative.
    2
  3409. Thank you so much!
    2
  3410. I have a script that dynamically adjusts the width of xmobar to allow for trayer's width depending on how many icons it has in it.
    2
  3411. Don't cross the streams!
    2
  3412. You're living in the terminal the next 30 days? This is why I love the Linux community. When one guy decides to torture himself, others rush in to join him in his misery! :D
    2
  3413. >The Virtual Machine Manager application, also known as virt-manager, has been deprecated. ...in Red Hat. ;)
    2
  3414. I'd start with Vim. It's the default editor on alot of Unix systems so you should know your way around it, even if you learn Emacs later.
    2
  3415. Thanks, Geezer!
    2
  3416. Ah yes, it looks like Stacer has moved away from Electron and is now C++ and Qt. Nice!
    2
  3417. >I wish more people were like you @TotalOSToday. I don't think we could handle another TOS! :D
    2
  3418. A buddy of mine. If I have questions about Linux, I call him. Only problem is he gets mad at me for calling it "Linux."
    2
  3419. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3420. Nice! You gotta be careful of the photos you share with Google. You'd be surprised the photos that go "viral". Had to look up the stats. Yes, I have over 10,000 likes now. I should pass 4,000 subscribers tomorrow. And somewhere around 340,000 views. Take care, Elstan.
    2
  3421. Thanks, Wagner!
    2
  3422. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3423. That's cool. And thanks for letting me know about 4M. ;)
    2
  3424. Appreciate the compliment! Take care.
    2
  3425. Years ago, I played around with a launcher called Synapse. I believe it allowed searching by category. Maybe try that. Some other launchers I have tried are ulauncher and albert. Both are those are nice but I don't remember them allowing searching by category. It's not something I ever need so it's not something I would have noticed.
    2
  3426. Awesome. Keep rocking the great content, sir!
    2
  3427. I removed the haskell logo because of when I have moved my xmonad configs to HOME/.config it caused an issue with having that icon there (xmobar expects that icon to be in HOME/.xmonad).
    2
  3428. Thank you , sir.
    2
  3429. Thanks, Human Being! Congrats on the "1st"! :D
    2
  3430. Will definitely check out Parrot when it's released! Thanks.
    2
  3431. You and me both, Bernardo.
    2
  3432. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/herbstluftwm Check out the end of my autostart script. It refers to panel.sh which is also in that directory. You can check my polybar config here: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/polybar/config
    2
  3433. A little splitter that allows me to switch between up to 4 audio outputs, which is nice when quickly switching between speakers and headphones for output. Or if you use multiple sets of speakers depending on the task at hand.
    2
  3434. Great points, Spudley and presentarms!
    2
  3435. Yes....and Shotcut and Pitivi and Olive. Kdenlive is definitely the best of the FOSS options as far as features go. If it was stable, it would be darn near perfect.
    2
  3436. Pewdiepie, of course.
    2
  3437. About the website, I changed a password awhile back and apparently this messed up the outgoing mail on the forum. Should be working now.
    2
  3438. Double check to make sure your keybindings are calling the keys by their correct name and are not a duplicate of another keybinding.. And make sure that whatever command those keybindings should be running that you actually have that program installed. Run the command in the terminal (instead of with a keybinding) to see if the command actually works.
    2
  3439. The default behavior in Doom Emacs.
    2
  3440. I've made videos about vim.
    2
  3441. Looks like a neat little distro.
    2
  3442. Appreciate that!
    2
  3443. ConfirmeD!
    2
  3444. I could even run GNOME! :D
    2
  3445. ShaTer Thanks.
    2
  3446. screenkey - should be in everyone's repos.
    2
  3447. Thanks, presentarms!
    2
  3448. It does seem that qtile was heavily influenced by it.
    2
  3449. Some probably still use aptitude as well....but most recent versions of Debian and Ubuntu have apt (and apt-get) so this covers most people's needs.
    2
  3450. Awesome! Thanks.
    2
  3451. I think you'll like it! :D
    2
  3452. Audacity is for editing audio, post production. In other words, fixing stuff that went wrong. Real time audio effects can be handled by a number of other programs though. Or you could do the real time effects with hardware (which is the route I went).
    2
  3453. It saves the current wallpaper in the styli.sh directory (wallpaper or wallpaper.jpg).
    2
  3454. Thanks for the tip!
    2
  3455. That is the wooden case that came with my Blue Baby Bottle SL mic.
    2
  3456. Nice tip!
    2
  3457. Either. Try them both on a live USB and see what you prefer.
    2
  3458. Yes you are!
    2
  3459. :D
    2
  3460. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade This will update all your programs to the latest version in the repos. sudo apt install firefox This will install (or reinstall) firefox. If firefox is already on the latest version in your distro's repos, you will get a warning stating "you are already on the latest version".
    2
  3461. Not the same company. That's a different Odysee. Read the pinned comment.
    2
  3462. I saw it. I've never used that. Don't know anything about it.
    2
  3463. Yea...I can't wait to learn a bit more with this. I know one thing for sure I need to do is get a scissor arm for this mic so it's not resting on the desk. This mic is so sensitive, just resting my arm or hands on the desk causes some noise. Need to get a pop filter too. Didn't come with one. But I guess I could throw a sock over it for now. :D
    2
  3464. > Stop this stupidity Distrowatch list is not about google page.. Not just DistroWatch but the entire WEB is all about the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). Most web traffic comes from ads or from search results. We know from statistics that 91% of searchers will not venture past the first page of the SERPs. And from an Internet marketing perspective, really if you are not ranking in the top 3 of the results, you are not going to see much traffic. >is about shift of interest or to search on distrowatch How did you arrive at this? I do know a good way to find what people are interested in though....Google Trends! https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=manjaro,ubuntu,mx%20linux,elementary%20os,Linux%20Mint
    2
  3465. It was either Arch or Manjaro--not sure which. I had switched from Arch to Manjaro around that time. Both would've looked the same though as I use the Qtile window manager on both with the same configs.
    2
  3466. Welcome back, Danke. Hope you are doing well.
    2
  3467. Thanks! :D
    2
  3468. The xmonad configs are now in HOME/.config/xmonad
    2
  3469. lol
    2
  3470. Yea, reading that story kinda hit me...never considered how stuff like game reviews helps us, the Linux gamers!
    2
  3471. Kill the distro hopping? I doubt that. :D
    2
  3472. Not a distro I would use personally, but I think putting distros like Elementary in front of the public makes Linux look more "modern" and "professional" than most other distros.
    2
  3473. Don't worry. My default editor is emacsclient.
    2
  3474. Considering Discover was used in 2 of these flavors...and was broken in both....I'd agree that they should ditch it for another option.
    2
  3475. Appreciate that!
    2
  3476. Should have put on the video. Check the description though.
    2
  3477. Thanks, ritual.
    2
  3478. Glad it helped!
    2
  3479. Hey, Colin. It is comfortable for me. I've always kind preferred the keyboard over the mouse. Even in something like Openbox, I had a lot of keybindings for the programs I use regularly. Used 16.04 Unity on my laptop for a long time and Unity was great for a keyboard user because of all the keybindings. Take care, brother.
    2
  3480. Thanks, ritual. :D
    2
  3481. The poll only allowed 5 options....otherwise I might have added ratpoison. ;)
    2
  3482. Great to hear!
    2
  3483. Thanks!
    2
  3484. I plan on doing a more in-depth review on that menu widget soon.
    2
  3485. Not fake news.
    2
  3486. Thanks, Kağan!
    2
  3487. Thanks! Hope Manjaro KDE works out for you. Rolling release distros can be tricky for a new user though.
    2
  3488. Yo yo!
    2
  3489. I might do that. It's on my "to do" list.
    2
  3490. Good points, Rob.
    2
  3491. Yep, that's make sense. Thanks, Matt.
    2
  3492. No idea. I don't use tmux because...well, I use a tiling window manager. :D
    2
  3493. Nice work!
    2
  3494. Breakage is a very real possibility with using Sid. And in some ways, Sid is worse in this regard than distros like Gentoo or Arch. On Gentoo or Arch, every single user of those distros is on the "rolling release" version--that's all they offer. You may find yourself kinda lonely using Sid and expecting any sympathy when major breakages happen.
    2
  3495. ArchLabs is awesome!
    2
  3496. It's a solid microphone if you want a USB mic rather than XLR.
    2
  3497. rmcellig It has settings for bidirectional (picks up sound front and back but not to the sides--great for live interviews...or vocal duets). It also has omnidirectional (picks up sound in all directions). For most uses...a single speaker/singer/instrument, the setting you want is cardioid (picks up sound only from the front).
    2
  3498. Emacs is a GUI program.
    2
  3499. Thanks, tubela!
    2
  3500. Thanks, jagardina...I think. :)
    2
  3501. Thanks, No Names. Adding better equipment slowly...one piece at a time.
    2
  3502. Installing/removing/updating software is handled by your distro's package manager. So it's different depending on which distro you use. If you use a Debian/Ubuntu-based system: sudo apt remove programname
    2
  3503. :D
    2
  3504. I appreciate that. And thanks for all your hard work!
    2
  3505. Thanks, Murat.
    2
  3506. I've been meaning to do some more Openbox stuff. :D
    2
  3507. Linux apps are buggy? What about Windows apps...because literally every single one of the apps on this video (minus virt-manager) works on Windows too. NOTE: The fish shell requires WSL to work on Windows.
    2
  3508. I can't use wayland for the stuff I do. So no.
    2
  3509. I had to sneak that one in there. ;)
    2
  3510. I am the one who knocks!
    2
  3511. One window manager at a time! :D
    2
  3512. Seems like more of an issue with GNOME than appimage. ;)
    2
  3513. The path to the agate binary needs to be in your shell's PATH or you could simply start the server by typing the full path to agate. For example, on my server it is /root/.cargo/bin/agate (I think).
    2
  3514. I don't have rofi installed at the moment but I believe rofi does read the .desktop files, so it should add them.
    2
  3515. Doing great. Thanks for asking.
    2
  3516. Yea, that's the file.
    2
  3517. I would use an AV program if I ran Windows programs in Wine. Especially Microsoft Office programs. Those programs are a BIG target for infections.
    2
  3518. I opened the system monitor up in this video. The VM that I was using had 2G of RAM. MATE was using about 600M. If you think that is too much for you hardware, then you probably want to go with a distro that uses LXDE for it's desktop.
    2
  3519. Try: sudo eopkg it timeshift Would be surprised if that wasn't in the repos.
    2
  3520. Depends on the shell you are using. I was using fish for this video and \program does not work. command program always works regardless of shell.
    2
  3521. Yep. That's how that works.
    2
  3522. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles And I use urxvtd. ;)
    2
  3523. I think I installed it from the AUR.
    2
  3524. https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/
    2
  3525. No French for me. I struggle enough with English.
    2
  3526. Check my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers
    2
  3527. You got it!
    2
  3528. Welcome back. :D
    2
  3529. Will look for them in my local wine shop. Thanks.
    2
  3530. Yea, the big complaint about Deepin is the mirrors are slow. Maybe all the mirrors are in China. Not sure.
    2
  3531. Merry Christmas, Andy.
    2
  3532. You bet! You're making some killer content.
    2
  3533. Hangouts. I don't like using it because it has my camera reversed. People in the Hangout see it as normal but I see it mirrored. But I'm recording what I see.
    2
  3534.  @drishal14  It's an emacs plugin called dashboard. I showcased it a bit on a live stream a couple weeks back--the Create Your Own Emacs stream I think.
    2
  3535. Not sure about that one. Maybe just version control your vimwiki with GitHub or GitLab though.
    2
  3536. To be fair (to i3), I was using pulseaudio too. :D
    2
  3537. Mostly one config...the vifmrc file. There are color scheme files if you want to play with the theme. And, of course, now I have that bash script (imgt) that gives me the image previews.
    2
  3538. Thank you, sir.
    2
  3539. You're very welcome!
    2
  3540. To be fair, this was a brief overview of zip. There is a ton of stuff that I didn't cover. The manpage for zip rather lengthy.
    2
  3541. Thanks, Karl. Take care, brother.
    2
  3542. Funny enough, I've been asked about this a lot recently and this "window swallowing" thing is pretty easily achieved (regardless of window manager). Watch this space! :D
    2
  3543. Manjaro is not under any obligation to give anything back to Arch. Free and open source licenses are great in that we are not burdened with such restrictions. I did enjoy your blog post, by the way. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  3544. Thanks, Randy!
    2
  3545. I don't use i3. I do have an i3 config on my GitLab though if you really want to look at it, but it isn't something that I've worked on that much because I'm not really that big a fan of i3.
    2
  3546. The real first! :D
    2
  3547. I know, right! It's a shame that they didn't time this latest release for April 1st. :D
    2
  3548. >I guess you've given up the 30 day challenge. No still doing it. Haven't made a video on it though because I wasted so much time hopping and trying to figure out some issues I was having with OBS. But the plan is to do an update video on the 30 day challenge tomorrow.
    2
  3549. Hey, thanks!
    2
  3550. All of us bald-headed white guys look alike. :D
    2
  3551. Congrats.
    2
  3552. I thought you might pick up on that. :D
    2
  3553. 282a36
    2
  3554. I might look at Fedora's LXQt version at some point. Might be awhile before I get to it though. I have a bunch of distros I've been meaning to look at it for some time. So many distros, so little time.
    2
  3555. Haven't seen anything like that. In fact, I haven't seen any kind of notification system.
    2
  3556. Thanks, Steve. I might do some music recording. ;)
    2
  3557. Thanks for the tips Steve!
    2
  3558. Thanks, Terminal. Keep up the excellent work!
    2
  3559. Thanks, Elstan. Many of your criticisms I am aware of and plan to address soon. I've not been happy about the sound quality since day one. I need to buy a new microphone but I have been in a bad financial situation tdue to being laid off (making far less now than I was at my previous job). This really set me back. As soon as I get back in the black, fixing the audio is priority number one. As far as branding, that's in the works as well. The room I'm filming in right now looks bare because I'm actually moving soon. When I get to my new place I plan to have a bit more Linux-y setup. And DistroTube clothing will probably be part of that too. But not a hat. I don't do hats. Don't worry about Openbox getting air time in my videos. You know I Iove me some Openbox. RPM distros? You are right. No one really focuses on them on Youtube. Not sure if I'm the right guy to fix that though. P.S. The dialect....Southern US...specifically Louisiana. Thanks again.

  3560. Thanks, Kevin.
    2
  3561. Thanks you, sir!

  3562. cat /etc/shells -- it's the same info

  3563. Christian Fall Looked at both a few months ago on the channel. In sure I'll revisit both in future releases.
    2
  3564. Correct.
    2
  3565. I knew there would be some issues with portions of this video. Not much I could do about it. One of my neighbors started mowing his yard during the middle portion of this video. So that's why every time I speak you get that hum. My Blue Yeti mic is just so dang sensitive. I even had the gain turned all the way down.
    2
  3566. I work in retail. I don't do anything with computers at work.
    2
  3567. I window manager hop....a lot. ;) But my favorite is probably xmonad. I keep coming back to that one.
    2
  3568. Thank you, sir! Windowmaker will definitely be one of the 5 or 6 window managers that I review in the next round of "obscure" window managers.
    2
  3569. :D
    2
  3570. It is based on Debian testing.
    2
  3571. I have been weighing my options on another place to mirror my videos. Currently, I'm using Amazon's S3 as place to store my videos, in case YouTube disappears or bans me or whatever.
    2
  3572. Hadn't considered doing anything on yaourt or any of the other AUR helpers. But I might.
    2
  3573. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't tweak his plans given the public response to this. But even if he reverses course, he will have to pay a price for his actions.
    2
  3574. Thanks, Elias.

  3577. Arco is much better if wanting Awesome.
    2
  3578. Hey, at least my password isn't "password". :D
    2
  3579. Does seem like a project that serves no real purpose. Wish their website explained their goals a bit better. Also, domain names are cheap. Their website is hosted at WordPress. Not exactly professional.
    2
  3580. I usually just go through the drive-thru at Starbuck's rather than going inside. :D
    2
  3581. ^^
    2
  3582. How did I not include the sodomized cow in this video!
    2
  3583. Thanks, Steve.
    2
  3584. Yes. I'm taking one for the team here. :D
    2
  3585. Thanks, Paul.
    2
  3586. Oddly enough, I've never used KDE Neon. But I've never been a fan of KDE so that explains why I haven't tried that one...yet. But I need to review it on the channel.
    2
  3587. sarge242 Thanks!
    2
  3588. Renard Moreau Thank you, sir.
    2
  3589. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3590. I wouldn't expect anything Debian-based to be a testing ground for Wayland (Debian is all about stable). Install something like Fedora if you are interested in Wayland development. As far as graphics, the Linux kernel handles all that stuff. So, assuming you don't have some super-new video card, you should be good....regardless of distro. Is it a Chromebook killer? I would hope so (but honestly, Google is too big and too powerful for Chromebooks to fail). :(
    2
  3591. Yea, it's annoying when he makes a video and people want me to make a video expanding on that topic. Why are you emailing me and not Luke? :D
    2
  3592. Yea, my laptop is running Arco (Arch-based).
    2
  3593. Thank you, Andrew. Hope you have a great holiday as well, sir.
    2
  3594. Inception.
    2
  3595. NICE!
    2
  3596. My kind of distro!
    2
  3597. Don't look directly at it!
    2
  3598. Been meaning to put this PC to the test. This was a great test! 6 VMs with those specs I mentioned...and OBS recording. Not even a stutter. I expected to when I go back and watch the video clips I recorded, I might see some corrupted video....maybe the webcam freaking out. Nothing like that at all. And the fans in this machine never took off like a jet engine. Quite pleased.
    2
  3599. If aliasing is wrong, I don't want to be right.
    2
  3600. >Tightware Great name for an OS! Let me check if tightware.com is available so I can snatch it up. :( Name is taken.
    2
  3601. The car analogy is apt (pun intended). :D
    2
  3602. Awesome. Really hated the mouse travel having that button at the bottom of the screen.
    2
  3603. Oh, I like the dotfile sharing idea! Thanks!
    2
  3604. I've never used Gnome Boxes. You have me confused with someone else.
    2
  3605. I will add it to my "to do" list. :D
    2
  3606. Thanks, Lemmark. At first, I was thinking that this wasn't that big of a deal as far as "breakage." After all, you can still wipe the USB stick clean and start over. But you mentioned having to use command line. I can see how that would probably upset a great many users.
    2
  3607. Haven't done any testing but I would guess that some apps will not run, depending on what they were written in and whether they were compiled for x86 or ARM..
    2
  3608. Haha! :thanks
    2
  3609. Thanks!
    2
  3610. Yea, the installer definitely did not do what I politely asked it to do. Take care, Renard.
    2
  3611. Nice. I actually use surfraw to search UB. I have dmenu script for surfraw as well.
    2
  3612. Grep, sed, awk... ;)
    2
  3613. Thanks, Andrew. This was fun!
    2
  3614. If you can't login then either (a) your xmonad config is broken, or (b) there was an update to xmonad and/or haskell libraries--this requires you to recompile xmonad. Just open a terminal or enter a tty and run: xmonad --recompile
    2
  3615. Fortune is not installed by default on any Linux distro I know of. But it's in the repos. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, you need to open a terminal and run: sudo apt install fortune-mod fortune cowsay Now you have fortune and cowsay installed on AntiX. :D EDIT: There are additional fortune packages available to install if you want languages other than English...and even a package than gives you Debian "hints". https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=fortune
    2
  3616. Thank you, sir.
    2
  3617. I didn't mention multiple smtp servers. I don't have this in my config. But...have a look at the mu4e site: https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Multiple-accounts.html Seems like it would be straightforward but again, I haven't tried this.
    2
  3618. Just a quick update. The stuff in the link above works. I was able to follow that page and quickly setup different smtp servers depending on what email account I choose. I might show this in a future video.
    2
  3619. I edited my config to show how I got this working. You will have to make some changes to the code though, since much of this is example code (commented out). I did this to avoid sharing my other email addresses (other than the one I've always shared publicly).
    2
  3620. You bet!
    2
  3621. I'm sure Xubuntu is already pretty huge in the Linux community. :D
    2
  3622. Thanks, lucky!
    2
  3623. Confirmed. Arch is easy!@
    2
  3624. Agreed.
    2
  3625. You have a point. Someone would should open this issue on their GitHub.
    2
  3626. Appreciate that, Gerald. I wish you the same!
    2
  3627. Thanks, Alejandro!
    2
  3628. I thought about doing some goofy stuff on this installation before I nuke and pave. Maybe.
    2
  3629. You can use a program called obmenu. Or you can use a program called menumaker (might have to build that one from source). Or you can just edit your menu.xml file (found in .config/openbox)
    2
  3630. I'm an i3 noob myself. ;)

  3636. For pandora, I use a CLI program called pianobar. It's a fantastic little program.
    2
  3637. XMonad.
    2
  3638. Thanks, Anzan!
    2
  3639. I have a hair cut scheduled for tomorrow. ;)
    2
  3640. Never looked at.
    2
  3641. Of course.. In fact, it will work best on vanilla Arch since there is no chance of any package conflicts like you might get on Arch-based distros like Manjaro, Endeavour, Arco, etc. Just do a base Arch install (be sure to set the locale) and make sure you have networking.. Then run the DTOS installation.
    2
  3642. You are thinking of thoughtcrime.
    2
  3643. So simple. I like it! :D
    2
  3644. You deleted /home ? You really shouldn't do that. But....you have a backup, right? :D
    2
  3645. Thank you , sir.
    2
  3646. It's there/ You just didn't look hard enough : https://lbry.tv/@DistroTube:2/the-brave-browser-gives-us-the-internet:d
    2
  3647. You have good taste! :D
    2
  3648. Yea, the transparent titlebar looks great. But looking good has never been a problem with KDE. Take care, my friend.
    2
  3649. The old one is just sitting on my desk. I use the ErgoiDox. Just didn't have it lit up in this video so its hard to see. ;)
    2
  3650. > But give me slackware on 5 floppies, with no option but to compile your own kernel... those were the days. Ok, Boomer. :D
    2
  3651. Confirmed. And Thanks to you!@
    2
  3652. Thanks for watching!
    2
  3653. A quick search returns this: https://github.com/magnars/multiple-cursors.el
    2
  3654. For Gentoo-based distros, I would do Calculate or Sabayon. Redcore is really nice but they currently only have two mirrors. For Debian-based distros, there are a million different ones that I could choose for that. Too many choices!
    2
  3655. Iphones are locked up tighter than a bull's ass during fly season.

  3657. Check out my shell-color-scripts repo on my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/shell-color-scripts
    2
  3658. Xmobar.
    2
  3659. The point was to offer people an alternative to Youtube. Some folks just do not want to be on the Youtube platform, a decision that I can respect.
    2
  3660. Good info, Serge, on Adrien's videos. I am subscribed to his channel. And you make a great point, I probably should have added my user to all the appropriate groups on camera. I knew I wouldn't need to belong to most of them for this video, but others may watch this and not choose things like audio and wonder what's going with their system. Oh well, I'll make a note of it for the next video about Calculate.
    2
  3661. Considering I have an Nvidia card and I do not have Wayland installed....I'd give it about 0.05% chance.
    2
  3662. Having been on GitLab a matter of hours now....I gotta say...it's pretty nice. Glad I moved regardless of what happens with the Microsoft deal.
    2
  3663. I have no idea.. I'd probably ask this question on the arch-wiki-docs GitHub. I'm sure other non-Arch users would be interested in how to get this installed on their distros.
    2
  3664. No, that's not me. You can find the name/email of the package maintainer at the top of the PKGBUILD file.
    2
  3665. Thanks! :D
    2
  3666. I think it is: sudo apt install plasma-discover Hope that works for you!
    2
  3667. lynx, surf, qutebrowser
    2
  3668. Check my dotfiles repo on my GitLab (in show description). The clear color thingy is function in my config.fish.
    2
  3669. I'm sure your hacking skills are quite a bit more advanced than anything shown in this video. :D
    2
  3670. I was using herbstluftwm in this video. The bar is polybar. Configs are on my gitlab page.
    2
  3671. hello
    2
  3672. Awesome! Hope Linux works out for you longterm.
    2
  3673. Thanks, Joe!
    2
  3674. Thanks for sharing!
    2
  3675. Appreciate that, Mitchel!
    2
  3676. Should be in 1080. It is on my screen Just checked on my phone...1080 there too. If you watch the video a couple of minutes after it goes live sometimes it is only available in 360 because the video is still processing.
    2
  3677. Haha! Perfect!
    2
  3678. Will check out Zorin soon. Thanks.
    2
  3679. It is advised to reinstall the same distro if you are doing this with your entire /home. Because the config files for your old distro might not work with the new distro.
    2
  3680. Ditched Nvidia last year for AMD to get away from proprietary drivers. My content is synced to LBRY and mirrored on my personal website for those that would prefer to not watch on YouTube. Also youtube-dl is an option for those folks as well. Nothing of mine is librebooted. That's a line I'm not willing to cross yet.
    2
  3681. Great point!
    2
  3682. I wish there was a viable alternative to YouTube. Hate all the flagging of my videos and demonitization and all that. You would think a billion dollar company could design more reliable bots to detect questionable content.
    2
  3683. You will still be able to install Unity in 18.04 (which is an LTS so it's supported for 5 years). So keep using Unity if you love it. There is no spying. That is just people being overly dramatic. Ubuntu wants to collect information about your installation (whether you choose to download update, install 3rd party drivers, choose the minimal install, etc) and they want some basic hardware information from you (what CPU and GPU do you have, who makes your PC, etc). No looking at files. No collecting IPs. Nothing that could be remotely considered spying. Especially since they are asking you for this information and making everything they collect public.
    2
  3684. Thanks, tux!
    2
  3685. Login as root then. And then create a new password for your standard user...or create a standard user if you did not already.
    2
  3686. I do actually. https://github.com/sindresorhus/pageres-cli
    2
  3687. You are an ambivert!
    2
  3688. Using Arco on my main machine.
    2
  3689. Join us on #distrotube on the Freenode network. ;)
    2
  3690. You're welcome!
    2
  3691. Xmenu really does solve a problem for most tiling window managers. Being able to have a customizable menu that is available on mouse click or keybinding certainly has its uses.
    2
  3692. I agree!
    2
  3693. Agreed. But people have wanted me to point out some negatives. So here it is.
    2
  3694. That may happen. ;)
    2
  3695. I installed everything from the Arch repos: xmonad, xmonad-contrib and xmobar
    2
  3696. You need to use Awesome font.
    2
  3697. You mean what key to press in vifm to get file previews to appear? "w"
    2
  3698. Deepin? Hadn't considered giving that one a go on real hardware. Might be a nice change of pace.
    2
  3699. You need to install awesome. sudo pacman -S awesome Logout and choose awesome at the login manager.
    2
  3700. That password is a little too long for my liking. :D
    2
  3701. Are you first? Or was Peter?
    2
  3702. Thanks for the suggestions.
    2
  3703. The web is completely effed up. All the embedded multimedia and Javascript and ads. Gopher > http.
    2
  3704. Buongiorno!
    2
  3705. That is awesome!
    2
  3706. I may check some of these out very soon. May do some video reviews of them soon since the only Manjaro I've looked at on this channel is the KDE version.
    2
  3707. It reads whatever you have the variable "dired-listing-switches" set to. In Doom Emacs, they have it set by default to "-ahl -v --group-directories-first". But I'm sure you could change this in your personal config, probably something like (setq dired-listing-switches "-alh --group-directories-first --time-style \"+%m-%d-%Y %H:%M:%S\"") . Just an example though; haven't tried it myself.
    2
  3708. Window managers do not have a builtin compositor which you need for transparency and drop shadows, etc. Install compton (now called picom). The black rectangle will disappear.
    2
  3709. Thanks a ton!
    2
  3710. There is a flatpak for OBS. I might try that.
    2
  3711. A lengthy video takes awhile for YT to process completely. Typically, to avoid this I should upload these videos and schedule them to actually publish in the future...maybe a half hour later. Just to give YT time to process.
    2
  3712. Geany is great too. I use it alot too.
    2
  3713. Make sure you delete the config.h file (so you only have the config.def.h file) before recompiling.
    2
  3714. You don't want to hear me sing. In German or in English.
    2
  3715. Yep, still a lot of default theme images and empty pages. Site isn't really complete but at least I've got the most time-consuming stuff done (adding my videos).
    2
  3716. Mainline Ubuntu is very minimal out of the box with not a lot of programs on the ISO. Edubuntu comes with a ton of programs already installed, and the menu admin program makes it easy to show/hide the programs that you want the kids to have access to. While standard Ubuntu can do all of this, Edubuntu saves you a lot time by having all of this already there, especially when installing to hundreds of machines.
    2
  3717. Might need to look at that one.
    2
  3718. I think one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is getting more "open hardware" on the market. So I definitely support the goals of Purism. Hope they sell a bazillion phones and laptops.
    2
  3719. A quick google brings up: https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/libraries/awful.spawn.html Looking at the functions for awful.spawn, other than "with_shell", other options include "once".. Maybe try that. Best of luck!
    2
  3720. This problem only comes up if the program you are running is using a flag that doas also has. So when I did "doas pacman -Syu", doas has a -u flag. Hence, the need for the double dash. But you can solve this problem by simply aliasing "doas" to always be "doas --".
    2
  3721. No problem. Definitely less latency with this camera than my webcam. I had to offsync the audio for the webcam 400ms. This camera looks like I should cut that in half.
    2
  3722. True first.
    2
  3723. Flatpak wouldn't solve their issues because Flatpaks only work for you desktop apps. Command line tools don't work well as Flatpaks and the base system packages (like the kernel) can't be a Flatpak, of course. AppImages would solve the command line tools problem....but still you can't package the kernel as an AppImage.
    2
  3724. Thanks! Will do!
    2
  3725. For most users (me included), there isn't much advantage to Gentoo over Arch. Unless you take advantage of compiling everything and learning about USE flags and tailoring everything to your specific hardware (easily less than one percent of computer users want to do this kinda thing), then I'd just stick to Arch personally.
    2
  3726. You don't have to install the Nerd Fonts. That was a just a collection of fonts I was familiar with. Install any monospaced font that is patched for powerline and you will be fine.
    2
  3727. Audio problems? In Linux? Unheard of. :D
    2
  3728. Appreciate that, Donald.
    2
  3729. Pretty easy. There are guides on the internet on how to install LAMP on Ubuntu. Then just upload wordpress to you /var/www/html.
    2
  3730. Well said, ShaTer.
    2
  3731. You were doing fine with the Arch part....but then you mentioned GNOME. Think I will pass on that one. :D
    2
  3732. Croydon Thanks for the feedback. Will work on that.
    2
  3733. Hey hey!
    2
  3734. I haven't done much with that theme. I believe the issue is going to be GTK2 vs GTK3. The GTK3 apps are going to look not so good. I don't know much about GTK theming--it's a bit more complicated than GTK2.
    2
  3735. Thanks! Oh, and Merry Christmas!
    2
  3736. Thank you, sir.
    2
  3737. Thanks! :D
    2
  3738. Thanks, Jeff. Welcome back to Linux. :D
    2
  3739. USB writers is something we lack on Linux. We a few OK apps but nothing great. Unetbootin is OK but I've found it borks Arch and Arch-based images. Etcher is nice....for creating Linux USB keys. But we really don't have anything great.
    2
  3740. urxvt
    2
  3741. I have to admit....this was fun little project.
    2
  3742. Two in a row. That's a streak!
    2
  3743. Yea, probably around 2009 or 2010 was when I first tried XMonad. So, 13 or 14 years....if we are really being picky.
    2
  3744.  @thingsiplay  My pattern was: find a new window manager, use it for about six months, and then hop. But there were a few WMs that I always kept coming back to: openbox, xmonad, and qtile. Now, has Xmonad changed much in all of those years? Not really. There are a lot more third-party libraries (xmonad-contrib) that add some cool features, but xmonad out-of-the-box is exactly as it was all those years ago.
    2
  3745. Sadly, there was a stock purchasing program. And I did buy a lot of the stock. Oh boy, was that a mistake! I got out after it fell by 60%. I couldn't hold on any longer, just too painful.
    2
  3746. I'm aware of what puts are. But I don't get a discount buying puts. :D
    2
  3747. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/racist1.gif :D
    2
  3748. When I recorded this, the new version was not out. Perfect timing!
    2
  3749. I'm not worried about it.
    2
  3750. Arco Linux for the last 2 weeks. The window manager in this video was qtile.
    2
  3751. Ah! Deepin.

  3753. I would rather use the Nu Shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra1RlD3p1pY
    2
  3754. Thank you, sir! :D
    2
  3755. Thanks, TJ! Take care, brother.
    2
  3756. Arch has removed much of what was installed by default when I made this. You also need to install nano or vi now.
    2
  3757. MS probably makes a lot more money off of Office than Windows. Why wouldn't they want to sell Office to Linux users? They already have Office on Mac.
    2
  3758. I may take a look at some (or all) of these eventually.

  3759. Window managers aren't doing anything that these speed differences will matter. People imagine that a window manager is something more than it really is. It's just the frame around a window that determines where that window is placed. That's it. Nothing that requires super-duper high-level computational processes. So even qtile in python is blazing fast for this. And Haskell is faster than C in some benchmarks if you really are concerned with the speed of the language your window manager is written. ;)
    2
  3760. It would require knowledge of an animation program (like Blender). Unfortunately, I don't have those skills myself.
    2
  3761. We definitely need to have more discussions about pay models and, especially, the need for alternative platforms to YouTube.
    2
  3762. Proprietary garbage.
    2
  3763. Seems like an interesting project.
    2
  3764. Yes it does!
    2
  3765. I don't have a camera in front of me. It's off to my right and about 3 feet higher than my head. So yea...I'm looking at my monitors and not at the camera. Why are you wanting me to make eye contact anyway, you perv!
    2
  3766. Not you. This is a bit annoying. I need to see if I can fix that in OBS.
    2
  3767. Good to hear!
    2
  3768. Thanks, Josh. Much appreciated, brother.
    2
  3769. Good stuff, ritual. Agreed 100%. Rule number one: do not try to force your opinions on others.
    2
  3770. Oh, I'm sure it's possible. The manager.py file has all of the information that you'd want, it just needs to put into neat columns so that it doesn't look like a jumbled mess. I may look further into this at some point, if I feel like I need to work on a project. ;)
    2
  3771. Thanks, Voislav.
    2
  3772. I think the CPU widget is broken. Doesn't even work on my machine. Not sure if they have a fix planned for it.
    2
  3773. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3774. Thanks! Appreciate that! :D
    2
  3775. Well, I can see how they would be useful in a school environment. Rather than just launching one program "encyclopedia" and having to search for everything, you have special apps focused on particular topics (like a text book) that are categorized and easy to navigate (like chapters in a textbook). Not something your typical Linux user would need...but I see where they are going with all those wiki apps.
    2
  3776. Thanks, Kent!
    2
  3777. On my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers (0296.jpg is the one in this video)
    2
  3778. Yea, when you go window manager only and have your own configs...then distrohopping isn't really an issue anymore. Every distro is almost the same because you install your personally customized "desktop environment" on every distro. Package management changes, but that's about it.
    2
  3779. Which GIMP plugins are you needing? Is it any of these: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=gimp+plugins&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go If not, let me know what you need. I'll see what I can come with.
    2
  3780. Thanks. Hope it helps!
    2
  3781. I can't confirm you as "first" since you cheated by only typing a single character. FIVE CHARACTERS, minimum! ;)
    2
  3782. Thanks, Anthony.
    2
  3783. Respectable choice. Arco rocks!
    2
  3784. I don't use screenlockers much on my on machines. And slock is a simple program. Not much to it. Install it. Run 'slock' to lock the screen. Start typing your password...if the screen is blue and unlocks, you typed your pass word correctly. If the screen turns red, then you entered the wrong password, try again.
    2
  3785. Well said, J-oh-n. :D
    2
  3786. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4GYrcca12c
    2
  3787. Some fancy animation for when I 'clear' the terminal. It's part of my fish config. You can find my config in my dotfiles repo on my GitLab. Look in .config/fish/config.fish. Make sure to have lolcat installed as well.
    2
  3788. Fish was the interactive shell in this video. But yes, I have zsh installed too. And bash, of course.
    2
  3789. Virtualbox is available on FreeBSD. Not sure why you couldn't run any OS you want in a VM. I mean, it's a VM.
    2
  3790. Systemd wasn't around back then. Ubuntu was using upstart for the init.
    2
  3791. You can trade with TastyWorks in the browser if you have to, but yes...they have a desktop client and they make a Linux client. It's in the AUR.
    2
  3792. Appreciate that!
    2
  3793. Revenge is recommended every time I try an Opennbox distro. I've downloaded the ISO on two different occasions. Couldn't get it installed on virtualbox either time. I'd love to review it some day.
    2
  3794. Since publishing this video, I have added my Layouts to a split as well. I had no issues with it. Maybe I was just lucky. :D
    2
  3795. I agree. Windows has qualities.
    2
  3796. Thanks for the donation, Andy! Much appreciated. And I think I can get by with BSD for a month. I will no doubt miss some things I'm used to. But I can go 30 days. :D
    2
  3797. I am considering it...but first I'm going to be taking a look at a different low profile keyboard soon. Stay tuned for that. ;)
    2
  3798. Its patched for a few things. Like alpha transparency, centering, extra color options. If you need that stuff.
    2
  3799. You need to install a program to set your wallpaper. I use nitrogen. You could also use feh.
    2
  3800. Check out the Teespring link in the show description. ;)
    2
  3801. Fork it and do what you want with it.
    2
  3802. I'll probably keep KDE on this machine for a couple of more weeks at least. I'm in the process of moving, so I don't want to bother with reinstalling my operating system right now...not when I have more pressing issues at hand. So I will take a bit of time to decide on the next course of action.
    2
  3803. I don't use the xinitrc since I use lightdm. That said, I still didn't have to install the autostart patch to use an autostart script. I could have edited the dwm.desktop file that lightdm reads, and change "exec = dwm" to "exec = my-own-script". I would just need to make sure the last line of that script was "exec dwm". But the autostart patch is quick and painless and a good thing for newer users to know about.
    2
  3804. Thanks, George.
    2
  3805. I would use fdisk but I have to read the man page every time I use it and I'm lazy! :D
    2
  3806. Every window manager should work on every distro.
    2
  3807. Anytime you play any desktop audio while recording your microphone, you MUST wear headphones. Otherwise, the desktop audio which is being recorded by OBS will also be recorded a second time as some weird feedback being picked up by the mic. It's why, back in the day, when people called into a radio station, the DJ would always tell you to turn your radio down while you were on the phone with them.
    2
  3808. No. I use mutt! But installing by default? That's a very odd decision.
    2
  3809. If you are asking about the Cam Link 4K, they work just fine as they are USB plug and play. I've used the Cam Link for about 5 years now as my video capture device. Do note that most Elgato capture devices don't work on Linux because they require drivers which are Windows/Mac only. The only other Elgato device that I have (besides a bunch of their mounts/arms) is the Key Light, which is operated via a mobile app.

  3811. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3812. Search for my video on the Starship Prompt.
    2
  3813. Terminal colors are the Doom One theme that Doom Emacs uses. I just copied that over to my alacritty terminal config.
    2
  3814. Very nice, Theo!
    2
  3815. Thanks....I think.
    2
  3816. Yea, you can actually use "awk" as a scripting language. Might have been useful in past decades. But now, I'm not sure why anyone would script with awk when things like bash and python exist.
    2
  3817. Thanks!
    2
  3818. That is a nice example. In fact, I wrote that config. ;) That's not my GitHub but probably someone forked my GitLab dotfiles repo.
    2
  3819. Looking at it on one of my laptops right now. Using 2% CPU and 327MB or RAM. Not too bad. Or course, I could shave a bit off of that even if I got rid of conky, the systray stuff and any background services that I don't need.
    2
  3820. Will check it out. Thanks!
    2
  3821. The repositories suck (maybe the smallest repos of any Linux distro). So much software that I use is not packaged for Solus. I wish this wasn't the case but it's been this way for years and doesn't look like it will ever change.
    2
  3822. The default key layout for the ErgoDox and Moonlander has the number keys serve as function keys on layer 1. So hold the layer 1 key (bottom left) plus 6 and you get F6.
    2
  3823. Check out my GitHub page (linked in the header of my channel page). It's in my dotfiles repo (in .config/conky).
    2
  3824. Yea....let me check my schedule. Oh darn. All booked up! ;) Tell ya what, I'll be sure to add ratpoison to the next round "obscure" window managers I do.
    2
  3825. It's contagious!
    2
  3826. I just open gimp fullscreen on one monitor. I never tile gimp.
    2
  3827. You can set keys to lock you in a certain layer.
    2
  3828. Thank you, sir.
    2
  3829. Oh.....I'm not sure. I think it is one of the Arc-* themes.
    2
  3830. Very nice of Chris and the guys to help out with Slackware. That's the spirit!
    2
  3831. GCC
    2
  3832. Makes sense actually.
    2
  3833. >I am getting the feeling people aren't actually listening to what you said about Mint and just getting defensive. I doubt these people raiding the comments and downing the video watched my commentary or read the article. Welcome to the Internet!
    2
  3834. No, I'm going to try to average about a video a day still. As long as I can keep it up.
    2
  3835. Thanks, Leandro.
    2
  3836. Oh yes, what are we going to do with Linux when the zombie apocalypse happens and Skynet takes over the world. This immediately reminded me of a story many years back about some guys that installed Linux...on a potato. http://www.bbspot.com/News/2008/12/linux-on-a-potato.html
    2
  3837. Not going to lie. The website ( http://www.ohmygiraffe.com/ ) kinda makes me want to install it. :D
    2
  3838. Wow, thanks!
    2
  3839. I don't use the xinitrc since I use lightdm. That said, I still didn't have to install the autostart patch to use an autostart script. I could have edited the dwm.desktop file that lightdm reads, and change "exec = dwm" to "exec = my-own-script". I would just need to make sure the last line of that script was "exec dwm". But the autostart patch is quick and painless and a good thing for newer users to know about.
    2
  3840. I installed it anyway on my Thinkpad...my plan being to buy a cheap wifi chip that's compatible. I'm just using ethernet until then.
    2
  3841. It's something I have been fighting with (audio syncing). It varies so it keeps me guessing (might have to do with the microphone and the short).
    2
  3842. Within the next few weeks, I plan on purchasing a new microphone. This Blue Yeti has given me nothing but problems.
    2
  3843. Not even close.
    2
  3844. rmcellig Good points, sir.
    2
  3845. Good point. I should have changed to Xorg in the VM.
    2
  3846. What should you do with Debian? Point all the repos to "unstable", sudo apt upgrade, pray, then reboot...in that order.
    2
  3847. I didn't design the wallpaper. Karl Schneider did the design. Linked to some of his pages in the description.
    2
  3848. Not sure what you are asking here. pwd?
    2
  3849. That is a powerline status bar for vim. Specifically, that is an addon called airline.
    2
  3850. I probably should cover tar at some point. And rsync. So many videos to make, so little time. ;)
    2
  3851. You may be wanting the spark plugin for the fish shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec1A3YGQY60
    2
  3852. Xmonad has one set of workspaces shared among all the monitors. When you call a workspace it appears on the monitor with focus. If that workspace you called was already visible on one of the other monitors, then it switches places with that workspace. For a demonstration, checkout this video (I have timed it so it should start where I talk about xmonad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obzf9ppODJU&t=1715
    2
  3853. Yea, running BSD makes you appreciate Linux. ;)
    2
  3854. It's all the same to me.
    2
  3855. Thanks, Smoke King.
    2
  3856. ^^ This guy gets it!
    2
  3857. Thanks, Esa!
    2
  3858. I'll take any help I can get! :D
    2
  3859. Thank you, Renard.
    2
  3860. If lightweight is the goal, Bodhi beats just about everything out there right now. Extremely light on resources and no bloat to be found. You install the software you want.
    2
  3861. My 'ls' is not really 'ls'. It's actually a program called 'exa'.
    2
  3862. Checkout https://gitlab.com/aaronNG/reddio for CLI Reddit!
    2
  3863. Might have to check that out. Thanks.
    2
  3864. Thanks, Denis! Much appreciated.
    2
  3865. Thanks, Renard.
    2
  3866. :D
    2
  3867. I need to look at Bedrock at some point. Thanks.
    2
  3868. Yea, how did I forget that! I also noticed I didn't have "git init" aliased but how often do you use that.
    2
  3869. Doesn't make much sense to to use Duck when I'm specifically talking about Google SERPs.
    2
  3870. The true "First"!
    2
  3871. Rolling release distros are not normally used on servers. Stable distros (meaning static release) are the norm. Things like Debian Stable, Ubuntu LTS, CentOS, Redhat...
    2
  3872. Miguel Sedek I plan on doing just that in the near future.
    2

    2
  3874. This is what I said on the first take of this video. Went back and re-recorded it though due to language.
    2
  3875. That is i3-gaps.
    2
  3876. Manjaro.
    2
  3877. I can push the script. It's not my script though. It probably needs some tweaking.
    2
  3878. I pushed it for you. I just wanted you to be aware that I might drastically rewrite that script at some point for my own needs.
    2
  3879. Thanks! :D
    2
  3880. Depends on your editor. In extensible editors (like Vim, Emacs, Kakoune, etc) you can specify things like what color certain elements should be (like comments) and whether it should be regular, bold, or italics.
    2
  3881. CoNfIrMeD
    2
  3882. Make sure you enable lightdm: # systemctl enable lightdm Then start lightdm: # systemctl start lightdm Did you install a lightdm greeter? If not, install something like lightdm-gtk-greeeter.
    2
  3883. No, it would be rather pointless for me. I wouldn't use 90% of the programs installed on it because I don't do pen testing and such.
    2
  3884. TJ, I did take a look at Kali once on the channel. Wasn't much of a review since I don't use the sort of programs that Kali ships with.
    2
  3885. Thanks, Matt.
    2
  3886. What first got me into qtile? sudo apt install qtile :D Seriously, I just tried it. Being written entirely in Python appealed to me. But it was a tiling window manager that it seemed no one used, no one was talking about, and no one ever posted screenshots of it. That was probably 6 years ago. So when I started this channel, I wanted to give qtile a bit more exposure. Because it deserves it!
    2
  3887. 'uniq' only removes duplicates that are adjacent to each other. I should have caught that but I wasn't really watching the output of the command when I ran it. ;)
    2
  3888. Woo hoo! I've been a Thunderbird user since forever. But it seems I'm part of a dying breed. Everyone uses web mail nowadays.
    2
  3889. Good point. Also, so many programs are browser-based nowadays that the OS you are running doesn't matter.
    2
  3890. I prefer D-Dawg actually.
    2
  3891. Definitely won't be leaving Manjaro for a bit. I may be done with KDE soon though. I need to make another video in this Majaro KDE series. It's been a couple of weeks. But I'll give you a bit of a preview of it--I'm not liking KDE. :D Not being able to run certain porograms with sudo...yes, this also applies to kdesudo, gksudo, etc. No way to give them root privileges.
    2
  3892. Thanks, Jon. The terminal I use is urxvt. The color scheme I use (if I'm not mistaken) is "dark ocean" although I might have modified it a bit. I will do a quick push to my GitLab page if you want my .Xresources file, which will include my urxvt settings and the color scheme I use. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles
    2
  3893. Palenight. Look for my alacritty config in my dotfiles repository on my GitLab.
    2
  3894. Respectable choices.
    2
  3895. I've done some pretty detailed stuff on Openbox previously. How to setup Openbox on minimal install of Debian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FZCXVgiORA&t=11s This all will work on SUSE but the terminal commands involving the package manager will be different (SUSE will use zypper where Debian uses apt).
    2
  3896. I didn't do anything special. Just changed whatever the default font was in the config.h to UbuntuMono Nerd Font: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/st/config.h
    2
  3897. I installed the nerd font package from the repos. But just downloading and adding it to your /usr/share/fonts directory should be fine too. If you do that, remember to run: sudo fc-cache -f -v
    2
  3898. I've done a couple of videos specifically on awk. ;)
    2
  3899. Not sure on that. When I get back home in a few hours I'll check it out. But one place to look is to see if there is any kind of "Users" program installed..under System or Preferences. This may be where you add a photo for each user. Just a guess though.
    2
  3900. Because Arch recently removed nano (and several other things) from the base install. Glad you worked it out.
    2
  3901. Good luck with your channel. As far as xfce, you did not "settle" with it. It's as good as it gets for a desktop environment. I'd take it over GNOME or KDE every time.
    2
  3902. Computers/Science/Math and Music kind of go hand in hand. There is very much a math element to music, so it kind of makes sense that so many techies are also musically inclined.
    2
  3903. So I''d have to use another computer with a graphical server installed to capture the tty computer. And I'd have to use that computer to edit the video as well. So...I'm not really living only in the tty.
    2
  3904. I have i3-gaps installed on my Arco installation.
    2
  3905. Congrats! :D
    2
  3906. Funny you mention that. It's next on my list. :D
    2
  3907. I didn't add any commentary on my Trump video from a last week...but...since you brought it. :D There was a not-so-insignificant portion of the crowd in that auditorium that was black or brown. I was actually surprised to see this.
    2
  3908. I have one video card (Nvidia) that has 4 ports. I hook my 3 monitors into that one card. Nothing else is needed. It just works.
    2
  3909. Happy new year!
    2
  3910. Uses the Arch repos. Thankfully. The Deepin repos are horribly slow.
    2
  3911. Morning!
    2
  3912. Yea, Gimp is feature-rich and it's not something your average user would delve into. But it's one of the best programs we have in free and open source software. And one of the biggest barriers to getting people from Windows/Mac to Linux is the "Hey, do you guys have Photoshop?" No, but we have Gimp...it's pretty sweet...and you don't have to pay a subscription to use it!
    2
  3913. Any time!
    2
  3914. You bet
    2
  3915. https://gitlab.com/dwt1
    2
  3916. Maybe I'll try to live in Tumbleweed at some point. Right now, I'm just too comfy in the Arch-based distros.
    2
  3917. I've never used WSL. I haven't used Windows in many years.
    2
  3918. Thanks, Neckyrul Islam.
    2
  3919. Definitely!
    2
  3920. Niiiiice.
    2
  3921. Not at all. These were the exact commands I used to install Arch on my computer. Now...the commands for you may differ depending on hardware and how you want to setup the system. But can't show you every possible way to setup Arch. You will have to read and figure some things out on your own. Best of luck!
    2
  3922. rmcellig Thanks. I will do definitely some more Openbox videos, and I am interested in looking closer at both Fluxbox and JWM.
    2
  3923. Awesome!
    2
  3924. >How do linux users/devs don't get this? This is not a "Linux" problem. Programs are written by devs. And they are written to run on certain operating systems. If they write their program to only run on Windows (or only run on Linux), then you obviously can't use it on the other operating system. This is just the way computers and programs work. It's been this way since the beginning of time. A Linux user runs software that runs on Linux. A Windows user runs software that runs on Windows. You seem to think that those Windows programs are the only programs that do the thing that they do. I promise you Linux (and Mac for that matter) have software too that does what you are trying to do.
    2
  3925. Let me guess. It suggested Arch!
    2
  3926. Confirmed FIRST!
    2
  3927. Didn't know that! Sounds like a very useful feature though!
    2
  3928. Thanks!
    2
  3929. Sddm was installed. Try: sudo systemctl enable --now sddm Then reboot and see if you get a login manager.
    2
  3930. I didn't want to automatically enable sddm since many people may want to keep their current login manager. But maybe I should do that.
    2
  3931. I might do this. It will be a bit tricky to make it work.
    2
  3932. UbuntuMono Nerd Font. Installed it from the AUR. But you can find the Nerd Fonts on the web and manually install it in any distro.
    2
  3933. I wish more distros did this. Manjaro has a large user base. The revenue from something like Patreon would far exceed anything they would get from shady corporate sponsorships.
    2
  3934. I've been using GitLab for years. So yes...there's alternatives.
    2
  3935. You need a capture device to receive the HDMI output from the camera. And the Cam Link works with Linux. It's just USB plug and play.
    2
  3936. Several mobile apps actually. The one I use is called tootdon.
    2
  3937. I don't think either of us is missing much from not using their products/services. :D
    2
  3938. Confirmed!
    2
  3939. Thanks, TJ.
    2
  3940. I've always got something going on.
    2
  3941. Thanks, Randy. And agreed...Joe's channel is great!
    2
  3942. I'm a super hacker!
    2
  3943. Bodhi is very light. But the workflow in the Moksha desktop environment might be a little different than what you are used to.
    2
  3944. I have thought about doing just that. Maybe someday.
    2
  3945. Funny you mention taskwarrior. I've been thinking about looking at it here on the channel.
    2
  3946. Uh...no. :D

  3949. Manjaro if you want something rolling release. All your software is available in the repos or in the AUR. Want a static release? Maybe check out MX Linux.
    2
  3950. I have a rather special relationship with the English language. :D
    2
  3951. :D
    2
  3952. I'm using i3 on my real machine. I showed i3 in a VM in the beginning of the video to show what the config file for i3 (Manjaro) looked like initially....before I changed a bunch of stuff. Then I showed i3 on my main production machine. Keep watching the video. ;)
    2
  3953. >The thing about it is is the console is so great but it takes a long time to get a configuration the way you need it to and make it functional. Be sure to save your configs. Upload them to a personal repository like GitHub. That way when/if you have to reinstall, all of your programs are configured just as had them before.
    2
  3954. Martin Monsalvo Happy Easter, sir.
    2
  3955. Someone, schedule this man a doctor's appointment!
    2
  3956. Thanks, PerryEarl. I'm sure I will make out just fine with i3. ;)
    2
  3957. I use OBS to record my desktop. In some of my earlier videos, I used Simple Screen Recorder to record my desktop.
    2
  3958. Thanks, migue!
    2
  3959. Yea, not all rpm's are the same. Not all deb's are the same either.
    2
  3960. Some deb's are packaged with Debian in mind. Some are packaged with Ubuntu in mind. They may or may not work on the other distro.
    2
  3961. Computers break...updates or not. Having reliable backups solves a lot of problems.
    2
  3962. Thanks, Andy!
    2
  3963. 0AD is my jam!
    2
  3964. Thanks, Renard. Have a blessed 2018!
    2
  3965. I use Ctr + Plus/Minus for zooming in/out in Doom Emacs.
    2
  3966. I cannot answer that. Everyone must unlock this secret for themselves. ;)
    2
  3967. I love Budgie but it has poor multi monitor support ( I use three monitors). If it wasn't for that issue, I probably would have installed Solus Budgie on this machine already.
    2
  3968. Teamviewer has .deb and rpm packages on their download page. They also have a "other linux" package that you can just extract and execute--no compiling or anything. Pretty easy. But I should do a video some time to show how TeamViewer works.
    2
  3969. MX is based on Debian stable so it's solid. I don't think you'd regret trying it out.
    2
  3970. It's quite easy to set a rule for an app to launch a specific workspace and automatically go to it. Not sure about leaving it on close. There may be a module for something like that. It's not something that I've investigated though.
    2
  3971. Funny you mention Stumpwm. I've been thinking about giving that one another shot. But it was so frustrating the first time around. But now I'm more comfortable with Emacs and Lisp, maybe it won't be so bad?
    2
  3972. Congrats!
    2
  3973. That is the surf browser. I did a video on it some time ago.
    2
  3974. LOL.
    2
  3975. I wish you could see it too. :D
    2
  3976. Of course.
    2
  3977. F..
    2
  3978. I agree, it would be cool. Stay tuned. ;)
    2
  3979. You realize you don't have to watch this video on YouTube, right?
    2
  3980. Yea. Problem is I never have more than a couple hours every day of "free time". So the Gentoo install is probably not going to happen. What I need to do maybe down the road is schedule a week's vacation from work....and install Gentoo during that time. :D
    2
  3981. That's why you're the BOSS!
    2
  3982.  @valentin-catalin1859  Correct. PIpes can have spaces around them or not, so you could get some unexpected results if you don't account for that.
    2
  3983. Every week or so. Most distros have a way to turn on automatic updates and to schedule updates, if you don't want to have remember to do it yourself.
    2
  3984. Install 'polkit' and 'lxsession' (or whatever session program you prefer); and then run 'lxsession'. Better yet, put in your window manager's autostart hook. Best of luck! https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit
    2
  3985. Bloated!
    2
  3986. Don't know about any cons. The pros are that these cache directories can get quite large over time so it's good to clean them every now and then.
    2
  3987. The Threadripper cpu I have is known for displaying high temps. It has like a 27 degree offset so that's why the ridiculously high numbers. If I run sensors (lm_sensors) and check the temps, the Tdie temp is actually 39.5C. I've known about the weird temp readings and have contemplated just removing the temp widget from Qtile, but I leave it there for others to use.
    2
  3988. I don't like loquats. The large tree behind me in the screenshot is a fig. The smaller trees you see are apple.
    2
  3989. Navigating around with vim bindings (especially with line numbers) and the ability to search is nice.
    2
  3990. Does less have Visual Mode? ;) Anyways, you don't need vim as a manpager. But since vim is already on Linux anyway and if you use vim anyway, makes sense.
    2
  3991. Mark Zajac Antix? That was 4 distrohops back. :D Since then I've been on Calculate, Lubuntu 18.04, and now Arch. Seems like I'm hopping every week.
    2
  3992. I just sent Amazon an email about that price drop. $100 is alot of cheddar. I'll see if they give me a credit or I'll just send it back and rebuy at the lower price.
    2
  3993. Looks like a great channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWJUSpXVHTaHErtGWC5qPlQ Looks like a some great interviews there....Jonathan Riddell, Alan Pope, Rob Collings, Sean Davis, etc. Will definitely check this out. Thanks for sharing, Karl.
    2
  3994. True.
    2
  3995. >you sound like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump Makes sense. One of my favorite movies!
    2
  3996. The last time I looked at Fedora, I didn't hate it. I could certainly live in it and get my work done. The GNOME 3 desktop (not a fan) is not as horrible as it used to be either. Much like my KDE experiment, I need to try to live in GNOME at some point. And if I do that, Fedora is probably the best distro to do that in.
    2
  3997. True.
    2
  3998. Congrats! :D
    2
  3999. I would assume almost everyone will have feh installed anyway. After all, it's a dependency for a ton of other programs.
    2
  4000. Thanks, Yimo!
    2
  4001. I like to window manager hop. I can live in a tiler for a few weeks or a few months, then I go back to openbox for a little while. Then back to a tiler. Got switch it up every now and then. :D
    2
  4002. Thanks, Félix.
    2
  4003. I used Solus for three months or so on my laptop. No issues with stability.
    2
  4004. Thanks, Paul. Speaking of Vegemite, I have to be totally honest here. I threw the rest of that tube away. Just couldn't bring myself to ever try that stuff again. Yuck!
    2
  4005. Confirmed!
    2
  4006. I'm not paying for the furniture. It was here when I rented the office and the owner didn't want to move it, so he said he would leave the desks if I could use them.
    2
  4007. Tomislav Homan More like we have that whole east coast, west coast beef going on. I'm Tupac, he's Biggie,
    2
  4008. Hope the Beaver works out for you.
    2
  4009. Thanks! :D
    2
  4010. I too noticed some unusual memory usage on certain sites....and I experienced a couple of crashes along the way. Off the top of my head, I remember it crashing a few days ago when I had two instances of surf open, one of them watching a Youtube video.
    2
  4011. Thanks, tubela!
    2
  4012. Any decent package manager can print out all of your installed packages. In Arch, for example: pacman -Q In Debian/Ubuntu, apt list --installed.
    2
  4013. Agreed!
    2
  4014. Not a bad idea!
    2
  4015. Thanks, Richey. :D
    2
  4016. >I disagree to be honest. Fair enough. I certainly expect many to have a difference of opinion. The great thing about Linux--so many great choices!
    2
  4017. Agreed about the extra steps. The Installation Guide assumes the user has a bit of knowledge about Linux systems. I think the Guide needs to be updated to include a few extra bits for the novice user.
    2
  4018. That wasn't a screensaver but a terminal application called cmatrix.
    2
  4019. Story of my life. ;)
    2
  4020. Thanks, Mr. Whole. :D
    2
  4021. Got to be quicker off the line.
    2
  4022. Thanks, Kevin! Yea, no one knows exactly how the Google/Youtube algorithms work. But you can be sure that likes, subscribes, shares, comments, views, average view time, and dozens of other things factor into it all.
    2
  4023. My gitlab is in the show description. Was using zsh in this video.
    2
  4024. Can give you my opinion now. Wayland ain't ready.
    2
  4025. Thanks, Joe.
    2
  4026. Thanks, Rob.
    2
  4027. I wanna say about 2 years ago. It hasn't been that long that they made that change.
    2
  4028. Great to hear!
    2
  4029. Thanks, Boss.
    2
  4030. Yea, Endless seems to be gaining in popularity. So I guess there is a sizable audience for this thing.
    2
  4031. I never do EFI installs on my machines. I did it in this video due to requests, so I'm not expert on this...but I don't think that the EFI partition needs to be listed in the fstab (although you can add it if you want).
    2
  4032. You will get that message using cinnmanon in virtualbox....regardless of distro.
    2
  4033. Yea, I think I'm going to just use herbstluftwm since it's already there.
    2
  4034. Never heard of BOSS. Will add it to my very long "to do" list. Thanks, Sardar.
    2
  4035. I recorded this video in Xmonad.
    2
  4036. Much appreciated. :D
    2
  4037. Appreciate that!
    2
  4038. Yes, I forgot about stumpwm. It will remain forgotten. ;)
    2
  4039. Let us know if you get it installed and working.
    2
  4040. Worth taking a look at.
    2
  4041. My music directory is its own partition on a second drive. But the contents of the directory are owned by my home user. I did a video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEnnEhziLn8
    2
  4042. Thanks for the kind words, Nadeem. :D
    2
  4043. Thanks. I will remember this the next time I try this game. Maybe revisit CSGO in a future video.
    2
  4044. No GUI alternatives to what? Atom? I did mention a few in this video, including VSCode, VSCodium and Emacs.
    2
  4045. Thanks, Viktor.
    2
  4046. Hello there!
    2
  4047. rmcellig I like Lubuntu the most out of the official flavors. LXDE is light and fast and stable.
    2
  4048. Thanks, ken. Will definitely add some YT feeds to newsboat.
    2
  4049. The home user configs for a particular program usually aren't automatically added to the .config directory. You often have to copy them the way I showed you (for most programs). Then, you can hack away on the config. Cheers.
    2
  4050. You won't see the tags unless you have a plugin installed to see them. It's not something most people need to see, it's mainly for creators.
    2
  4051. Sunday morning.
    2
  4052. Yes I have current line at 0, Makes knowing how many lines you need to yank, delete, etc. at bit easier. If I need the actual line number I'm on (rare I really need that) well, vim shows current line out of total lines in the bottom bar.
    2
  4053. If you are mianly wanting something that is attractive, GNOME desktops can look pretty sharp. Or try Budgie. Or maybe Deepin if you've got a computer that can handle it. And I would agree, KDE doesn't look as good as a nice GTK desktop. As far as my favorite desktop environment, I'm more of a minimalist. I don't typically run fill DEs like GNOME or KDE or XFCE. I prefer the Openbox window manager or using a tiling window manager like XMonad or Awesome.
    2
  4054. Thanks for wishing me luck. I need it! :D
    2
  4055. You are too kind. :D
    2
  4056. This was a rather different kind of distro. Unique.
    2
  4057. Make sure you didn't leave that -C flag there: " xterm -C mocp" Your terminal probably doesn't have that flag and thus, it will not work. I suggest using the -e flag, for example: st -e mocp OR alacritty -e mocp
    2
  4058. 100% compatible with Arch. It's rolling along with Arch.
    2
  4059. Most of the time I just use middle click for copy/paste. In alacritty, I also have Shift + CTRL + c/v to copy/paste.
    2
  4060. I usually have xset in the autostart on these laptops. But that laptop has a very fresh install of Arco on it. Hadn't added xset to the autostart file yet.
    2
  4061. Will definitely see what can be done about that, Paul. That's a huge drop in price.
    2
  4062. First deserves a pin! :D
    2
  4063. Archmerge is a great way to check out openbox and i3.
    2
  4064. @bigmike obama True, I never let my hair get long enough to need clippers.
    2
  4065. You should file a bug. :D
    2
  4066. Also true.
    2
  4067. Thanks, Peter. I hope you do the same!
    2
  4068. Thanks, Rob. Good stuff...especially with the image previews. Personally, I don't need image previews....I usually didn't enable them in Ranger. But for many people, it is a nice feature and, for some, probably a deal-breaker so it's good that it's supported. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
    2
  4069. Nice catch.
    2
  4070. Love me some LXDE. Thanks for the suggestions.
    2
  4071. I have tried it out (and almost every FOSS editor). Olive is not really in the same league as Kdenlive in terms of features. And neither is Shotcut or OpenShot or Pitivi...
    2
  4072. Thanks! Much appreciated!
    2
  4073. Thanks, Karl.
    2
  4074. Thanks, Datapioneer. You rock!
    2
  4075. John T. Kennedy Thanks. Might discuss IP in a future video at some point.
    2
  4076. There may be lawsuits but Facebook has so much money, it will be tough to actually hurt them with a fine.
    2
  4077. The point for DistroWatch is to drive traffic to the site so they can "sell" their site to advertisers.
    2
  4078. It's a catchy little tune.
    2
  4079. Good to hear that Palemoon is lighter. But if I want light....lynx! :D
    2
  4080. Ergo Dox EZ. I have a video about it.
    2
  4081. :D
    2
  4082. Thank you, sir.
    2
  4083. Will definitely want to take a look at that! Thanks! :D
    2
  4084. > Installation of Arch Linux unto a VM disk is a complete waste of time. If you don't have an extra machine or extra drive to practice this with, then a VM is a GREAT learning tool to installing Arch (or other more advanced distros). > It's a very steep learning curve. Let's not make this out to be something more than it is. If you can read a Wiki and type correctly, you can install Arch.
    2
  4085. Fake news!@
    2
  4086.  @elli430t  Just tested out Manjaro GNOME in VBOX. I had to change the driver to VBoxSVGA otherwise there were strange errors like alacritty not opening. Also, xmonad did not show up as a session in GDM so I had to disable GDM and enable SDDM. Then, xmonad was listed as a session.
    2
  4087.  @Etzio_C  Then emacs wasn't running. So no need to kill it. Just start the daemon: /usr/bin/emacs --daemon &
    2
  4088. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  4089. Baby boomer. Generation Z.
    2
  4090. Did I just start using Linux last week? Have I only ever run one distro? I mean, come on. Think before you hit the COMMENT button.
    2
  4091. It's very light....because hardly anything is installed. Just a lightweight window manager (FVWM) and a terminal and a browser. A few basic tools.
    2
  4092. Thanks, Andy.
    2
  4093. Thanks, Steve.
    2
  4094. Yaourt is a frontend to pacman. Yaourt is nice if you need to install AUR packages because it automates the process of downloading, building, making and installing a package with pkgbuild files. Whether you want to use pacman or yaourt is up to you. No right answer or wrong answer.
    2
  4095. Both Plasma and GNOME are really pretty. Neither is my kind of desktop but they look good. If I was forced to live in one of those two, I'd probably go with GNOME. But thankfully, we live in a world where there are dozens and dozens of DEs/WMs to choose from.
    2
  4096. Will definitely do more of these. Thanks!
    2
  4097. Thanks, David! Much appreciated.
    2
  4098. I could use a little rain. :D
    2
  4099. Surprised how many distros can't get the installer right. That's kinda important.
    2
  4100. Heck yeah! Sour cream and onion is my favorite.
    2
  4101. Thanks, Mike.
    2
  4102. Thanks, Sam.
    2
  4103. Yep, we need to troll this guy...4chan-style! :D
    2
  4104. Alacritty is installed too (and termite, xterm and urxvt). But I've been using st lately because I've been packaging some of my suckless builds for the AUR. So I wanted to live in it a bit to make sure all is working as expected.
    2
  4105. To wipe out Windows completely and run Linux full time? You download the ISO of whatever Linux distro you wish to run. Write the ISO to a USB stick (I use a program called etcher to burn USB sticks). Plugin the USB stick, reboot your machine, if it doesn't boot off the USB stick then enter the BIOS and make sure the USB stick is first in the boot order. Run throught the installation fo whatever Linux distro you chose. Reboot the machine (unplug the USB stick). You now are running Linux and Windows is gone forever.
    2
  4106. True, that's really where it shines.
    2
  4107. I wouldn't want to automatically take updates without knowing what packages are being updated. If something breaks, it will be hard to diagnose the problem without knowing exactly what packages were updated.
    2
  4108. Thank you, sir.
    2
  4109. Never thought of that. I could watch Chinese kung fu movies....without subtitles...and "fake translate" for my friends.
    2
  4110. More to come!
    2
  4111. It's the effect I was going for. I actually set my wallpapers to give me the desired lighting in my videos, since having three monitors right in front of me puts off a ton of light. I definitely can't have a light wallpaper on while recording, since it will completely wash me out.
    2
  4112. Yep, it's a little out of sync. Not 400ms out of sync though. 200ms seems to fix the issue. Plan to record another video this evening. Hopefully, the sync should be fine now...assuming the audio lag stays consistent.
    2
  4113. Yea, I not sure I like the "manual" tiling of herbstluftwm. I prefer having preconfig'd layouts like in qtile/xmonad/awesome.
    2
  4114. Thanks, JWC!
    2
  4115. > but need to stop distro hopping for a while I know that feeling!

  4116. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAcAEUITShQ
    2
  4117. Thanks, Ben. Much appreciated.
    2
  4118. Pushed! https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/polybar
    2
  4119. The navbar is generated from a src block (html). I have a file called header.org that is included in all of the other org docs. The header file is the navbar.
    2
  4120. Spent a lot time yesterday playing with my xmobar config. The new configs are on my GitLab.
    2
  4121. I can actually use my ErgoDox EZ keyboard as a mouse if I want to. I don't ever do this but if by some strange cirumstances, a crackhead broke into my house and stole my mouse, I would still be OK. :D
    2
  4122. Much appreciated!
    2
  4123. Thanks, sarge.
    2
  4124. Go ahead!
    2
  4125. Seems like the majority is with you on this one.
    2
  4126. >I am grateful to Mark Shuttleworth... He certainly deserves alot of credit for making Linux on the desktop a bit more mainstream (or as mainstream as it's likely to get).
    2
  4127. Going further, I would add that mirrors are problem for a lot of small distros. I could never, for example, use distros like Deepin or Redcore because they have so few mirrors...and none close. Thankfully Arch has a million mirrors to choose from.
    2
  4128. You certainly could do a base Arch install and then install Openbox on it...especially if you already have some Openbox configs you like. And yes, the only packages installed on mainline Arch are packages YOU installed.
    2
  4129. Fake news!
    2
  4130. If you are talking about PiP being a popped out window, then XMonad should be able to treat it like any other window. You can set rules for it. I'm not sure what you mean by sticky, but you can make a window be a part of every workspace and always visible. Oddly enough, this is the second time in the last few minutes I have posted the link to this module: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Actions-CopyWindow.html
    2
  4131. Read the pinned comment if you are rebooting and getting a grub prompt. You now need to install linux (the kernel) as part of the install process.
    2
  4132. I might have accidentally typed "Windows Sucks for the New User" at first. It was really hard for me to change that to Linux. :D
    2
  4133. Nice!
    2
  4134. Have you tried enabling the service with systemd? # systemctl enable dhcpcd
    2
  4135. Was a serious video though. :)
    2
  4136. Thanks! :D
    2
  4137. Nice!
    2
  4138. I'm just laughing at this debate in my Haskell-based window manager. :D
    2
  4139. Playing around with git isn't difficult but it is a bit technical. And it is difficult to explain the concept of git in layman's terms. Even just trying to explain the difference between a normal git repo and a bare repo...I spent a few minutes trying to explain that and still didn't explain half as well as I would have liked.
    2
  4140. Or ChromeOS!
    2
  4141. I found it funny too, Father.
    2
  4142. I may look at other hypervisors at some point.
    2
  4143. Yes, sir!
    2
  4144. Thank you!
    2
  4145. CAD is one of the last hurdles we have on Linux. For years it was games, Photoshop, CAD....well, we finally for the games thing figured out.
    2
  4146. Haven't looked it.
    2
  4147. Yea. I liked Swag alot. Kept my VM of it for a few weeks. Never had any issues with it.
    2
  4148. No, OBS is fine with every tiling window manager that I've used.
    2
  4149. Very well said!
    2
  4150. Nutyx has been recommended to me a couple of times. I need to look at it soon. And reviewing LFS....not sure that many people would find such a project that interesting. Might take me two weeks to install the thing. And then maybe 20 viewers would be interested in the video. LOL.
    2
  4151. Renard Moreau Worth the investment I think.

  4152. I could certainly do this on my physical computer that is running Manjaro. But the install and configuration of the WMs will be exactly the same in a VM as a physical machine. And afterwards, in a VM all I have to do is delete the VM. On my physical machine, I'd have to delete a thousand programs that were installed just to make this video series.
    2
  4153. Your options are getting limited with the 32 bit processor. So many distros now only offer 64 bit images.
    2
  4154. Yea, they really needed to remove this. It was going to cause them a lot of headaches if they left it there.
    2
  4155. Well, without me diving too deeply into bspwm (just yet), I can tell you that I would expect xmonad to handle this (and most things) better than bspwm. Xmonad has been around a long time and has a pretty fervent community behind it, due in large part to it being THE haskell program that everyone knows.
    2
  4156. Thanks! :D
    2
  4157. You could possibly have some issues if hopping to a different distro if the versions of some of software is different. Sometimes, software changes the way their config files are structured, which could cause some issues. But that just means that you'd have to rewrite a new config file in the proper format.
    2
  4158. Gotta get around to looking at that one soon. Thanks.
    2
  4159. Glad you like it. One of the most useful new apps I've seen recently. And you are right about the looks...it is sexy!
    2
  4160. Sure: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.moc
    2
  4161. Well, I have all my configs on my GitHub page (linked in the header of my channel). Just pull them down and edit them. They should work on any distro.
    2
  4162. Vim-airline.
    2
  4163. Yes, but they are not very good, at least in terminal Vim (they might look OK in gvim). It's hard to make a minimap when you are limited to only using text, and at specifically the font size of the terminal. Don't bother with the first plugin you linked. I've tried it before and it's just braille dots. It doesn't look good and it doesn't really give you a good representation of where you are in the document. The second plugin does look OK...in gvim...not terminal vim (again due to the limitations of the terminal).
    2
  4164. I might do one in the future.
    2
  4165. I agree!
    2
  4166. My pleasure!
    2
  4167. Red Robbo's Workshop :D
    2
  4168. I have not talked to either of those guys. Love their channels though. I am subscribed to both.
    2
  4169. :D
    2
  4170. Couldn't agree more! :D
    2
  4171. Appreciate that, j3! :D
    2
  4172. Not quite. ;)
    2
  4173. "< filename" is not a legit command in Bash, the default system on every Linux distro and almost always the default user shell. "< file" is also not a valid command in Fish. So....there's that.
    2
  4174. Peter didn't mention anything about babies or Satan. :D
    2
  4175. Definitely Peppermint if you are using an older computer.
    2
  4176. Thanks, Andy.
    2
  4177. Thanks, Randy.
    2
  4178. As a Comcast customer...I completely agree!
    2
  4179. The repos are fine. Because you have access to everything in Gentoo, you won't find very many programs that you can't install using sisyphus (or emerge). Ranger, though I couldn't install it in the Sisyphus GUI program, would have installed in the CLI version of Sisyphus or with Emerge. My problems were the slow/lack of mirrors. This is an issue with alot of Linux distros unfortunately. I know a year or two ago when I was trying out Deepin, it was unusable because the mirrors were just too slow.
    2
  4180. I have never liked Discover. Some of the KDE fans keep telling me that Discover is getting better with each new KDE release, but I'm not seeing it. Still slow and buggy.
    2
  4181. I learned long ago, regardless of the format, split long recordings up into multiple clips. Don't hit record and let it go for 2-hours. You will be surprised how often s@#& happens. Such as you never actually started the recording. :D Losing ten minutes of work due to a mishap is a lot less frustrating than realizing that you lost everything from the last 2 hours.
    2
  4182. Patches = bloat! :D
    2
  4183. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers/-/blob/master/0290.jpg
    2
  4184. Yea, it's quite comfy actually.
    2
  4185. The FreeBSD was all over the internet in last couple of weeks. Here is one article: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/21/freebsd_code_of_conduct_controversy/ Also check out Bryan Lunduke's channel. He's made a few videos about it. He claims he's even received threats from FreeBSD members because of his videos criticizing the new code of conduct.
    2
  4186. Appreciate that, Alex. Take care, my friend.
    2
  4187. Yep, I need to move this to support the XDG directory standards.
    2
  4188. :D
    2
  4189. Glad it helped!
    2
  4190. Not that nice yet...but we will get there.
    2
  4191. Hannah will never be forgotten.
    2
  4192. Can't wait to check out more of your content! :D
    2
  4193. Just fired up that VM again to check. Chromium opened a little quicker this time (maybe 3 seconds). Uses around 80MB or RAM in the system monitor.
    2
  4194. Similar distros. Manjaro might be a bit more stable because they hold packages back for a couple of weeks unlike Antergos which is rolling along at the same pace as Arch. Also, the Manjaro install is a bit quicker because Antergos uses a net installer.
    2
  4195. Thanks, Android Free.
    2
  4196. Loved Arco (ArchMerge) each time I've tried it.
    2
  4197. Just a terminal program called unimatrix.
    2
  4198. The arch guys changed the install process right after I published this video Read the pinned comment. No longer do they install linux (the kernel), nano, vim, manpages, and a bunch of other stuff in the pacstrap command. So you have to manually install the kernel now: pacman -S linux
    2
  4199. Interesting idea. I wonder what tier 'eshell' will go. :D
    2
  4200. I wouldn't mind living in Sabayon for a bit. Thanks, Dustin.
    2
  4201. Yep. I was actually recommended to upgrade pip when I installed it in Manjaro. I just didn't do it. (I'm a rebel like that) :D
    2
  4202. Awesome, thank you!
    2
  4203. The image arrow was just a quick 5 min hack. You can use unicode arrows for the same effect. Should work with most fonts.
    2
  4204. Oh yes. Update all your AUR programs. Your terminal will be busy for hours!
    2
  4205. >In my opinion, you would have been better off using LXQt or LXDE. True but the point of this was to use something I never would normally use (KDE). :D
    2
  4206. Thanks, hottake!
    2
  4207. I've been thinking about doing part 2....this week maybe? Stay tuned!
    2
  4208. Paid $2000 for my first computer back in the early 90s. Crazy how far we've come.
    2
  4209. Thanks, Brian. Hopefully Xubuntu works out for you.
    2
  4210. The problem with downgrading to an earlier version is that there is no guarantee that the project that I already edited in the NEWER version will be backwards compatible in the OLDER version, especially if you used alot of effects. I've run into this problem with Kdenlive in the past when downgrading.
    2
  4211. If you loved BeOS, have you checked out Haiku? Been a couple years since the last time I looked at it but it's pretty sweet.
    2
  4212. Actually...'wc -l filename' and 'cat filename | wc -l' do not output the same thing. Try them both and you will see. ;)
    2
  4213. lol
    2
  4214. I don't think there is an xrandr replacement in Wayland yet. But I could be wrong; i don't use Wayland. I'm using Xmonad for my window manager right now...which, as the name implies, requires X.
    2
  4215. I will add them to my "to do" list. Thanks.
    2
  4216. Jonny https://github.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/conky/openbox.conkyrc
    2
  4217. Right click copy/paste? You mean middle click, right? That seems to work just fine for me.
    2
  4218. That's correct.
    2
  4219. YouTube is broken.
    2
  4220. Confirmed! This guy is NOT first!
    2
  4221. You'd be suprised how often I see this. The Arch install isn't terribly difficult and doesn't take TOO much time. So some Arch users love putting it on any machine that they can. Or sometimes I think it is non-Arch users doing this...because they are scared to put Arch on their machine so they install it on someone else's to see if anything breaks. :D
    2
  4222. YT banned me for 90 days once for using OBS's test stream feature. I wouldn't put anything past them.
    2
  4223. Thanks, Franky.
    2
  4224. Best of luck!
    2
  4225. I was just showing the window managers installed on AntiX. Unless I briefly showed on camera my host machine's desktop...which is the qtile window manager.
    2
  4226. Of course, it's biased. Everyone that watches my channel knows I love Ubuntu and I am the biggest GNOME fanboy. Welcome to the channel.
    2
  4227. They do sound fantastic. And look like something out of a 1950s sci-fi movie.
    2
  4228. M-x tldr too!
    2
  4229. Glad it helped!
    2
  4230. People do retro gaming on the Pi. You probably could do similar with this. After all, this is more powerful than a Pi.
    2
  4231. >When are we going to get Ableton, AfterEffects or something that is on comparable level of finesse on Linux? "Linux" isn't the problem. This isn't an OS problem at all actually. It's those software companies not making a Linux version of their software. Complaining about "Linux" (which isn't a real organization) is pointless. Complain to the makers of the software that you want to be available on Linux.
    2
  4232. That was a "me" problem. For someone reason, virt-manager decided to change the video driver that I typically use in my VMs. Once I selected the correct driver, all was good.
    2
  4233. No gdebi-like tools for Fedora or Arch but there isn't a need for it like there is in Debian/Ubuntu. In Debian/Ubuntu you can't simply"apt install" a local .deb package. Dpkg can install a local .deb but doesn't install dependencies. Gdebi installs the local .deb and handles the dependencies too. In Fedora, yum or dnf will install local .rpm's and handle dependencies so no need for a gdebi-like tool. Arch doesn't use anything like .deb's. You either install packages from the repos, the AUR, or you build it from source.
    2
  4234. Hi, Katrina. I think I'm going to be happy with this camera. The only thing is, I've never owned one of these fancy cameras before. I had no idea how to work the dang thing. Had to ask my sister to show me how to use it. :D
    2
  4235. Everyone should move away from SourceForge.
    2
  4236. The webcam window you see in this video is not a standalone program but a source in OBS (the program I use to make these videos). There actually isn't a real window on my desktop but in the OBS preview (and subsequent recording) the window is there. You could achieve a similar effect by recording your desktop with simplescreenrecorder and by using guvcview, disabling the title bars (assuming your window manager can do that - openbox can and kwin can). Then set that window to "always be on top" (again, if your window manager has that functionality).
    2
  4237. Not in st. ;) Mouse scroll doesn't work either. At least not out of the box.
    2
  4238. Missed that one!
    2
  4239. The Starship prompt. I did a video on it a few weeks ago.
    2
  4240. >Reaper and bitwig... Proprietary garbage.
    2
  4241. Likewise. And Happy New Year!
    2
  4242. Appreciate that, Keith.
    2
  4243. I've only been using Mononoki for about 3 or 4 months but I love it. Easy to read (important) and sexy as hell (more important!). :D
    2
  4244. Appreciate that!
    2
  4245. Thanks, jagardina!
    2
  4246. I like the way you think!
    2
  4247. Well, the support is probably there. If I really wanted, I could fork it and do something with it. But honestly, I don't have time. I was hoping someone would watch this video *wink *wink and fork it themselves and maintain it. :D
    2
  4248. Compile? Surely they have an ubuntu build. Looks at the github page: Arch, Fedora, Gentoo, SUSE, NixOS, Mac, Windows.... That sucks. Maybe someone should create an appimage for it.
    2
  4249. That;s just embarrassing.
    2
  4250. It's in the wiki.
    2
  4251. Thanks, Ryan.
    2
  4252. Thanks, Anxmon!
    2
  4253. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  4254. Well, even in Ubuntu you do run into some weird things when you set your user's shell to Fish. For example, building snap packages. There are some scripts involved with that which will not work if you use something like Fish. I ran into this problem in a video I did with Bigpod where we snapped some program and had a lot of problems until we figured out it Snap hates Fish.
    2
  4255. Oh my. No one mentioned the US is the center of the world. Calm down. Most of the popular Linux installers (such as Calamares and Ubiquity) are pretty good about selecting timezone and keyboard layout due to using geoip. Makulu was the first distro I can remember that chose a timezone for me that was outside the US (choose somewhere in India). And after I corrected the timezone information to the Central Timezone in the US, it still wanted to choose South African English for language rather than US English. That's a bit odd, don't you think?
    2
  4256. I hope this is a real distro!
    2
  4257. Thanks!
    2
  4258. Guess they no longer maintain that site. How unfortunate!
    2
  4259. Arco makes a really nice bswpm edition. ;)
    2
  4260. Depends on the version of Arco you install. In ArcoLinuxD, you can edit the installation scripts to install (or not install) some of the bloat that comes with Arco. By default though, it will install three browsers, six text editors (including proprietary Sublime), etc...because Erik Dubois uses all of those in his development work.
    2
  4261. You can install Windows 7 in a VM. And in Linux, you can use LibreOffice to create office documents that are, for the most part, compatible with Microsoft Office.
    2
  4262. Fish. It's a lovely shell that has some great builtin features like these auto-suggestions.
    2
  4263. It's all visible, at least the text that I meant to be there. The bottom text that starts with "th" shouldn't be there. Don't know how I missed it.
    2
  4264. A great utility for getting rid of unwanted bloat!
    2
  4265. screenkey
    2
  4266. Add a pacman hook that automatically recompiles xmonad everytime any package that begins with "haskell" or "xmonad" gets updated. Here are the hooks that I use for DTOS: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.xmonad/pacman-hooks Copy those two files and place them in /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
    2
  4267. This guy gets it! :D

    2
  4270. Thanks, brother.
    2
  4271. I actually burn CDs every now and then myself. Have a CD changer in my car.
    2
  4272. Thanks, dabbler.
    2
  4273. Hate I missed it. Sadly, I'm not on Twitter.
    2
  4274. Glad you enjoy it!
    2
  4275. I loved the old Mabox distro.
    2
  4276. I don't upload them. LBRY syncs them from YouTube. And for the last couple of weeks, they are not doing a very good job. The video I made yesterday still hasn't posted there.
    2
  4277. Did you not watch this video? I've been using Linux long before systemd was around.
    2
  4278. Nice!!
    2
  4279. Something that I definitely need to investigate. Thanks!
    2
  4280. Good to hear, Erich!
    2
  4281. It's not you. I increased the resolution of the webcam window. And this webcam is the one I recently purchased (logitech c922). Pretty nice camera.
    2
  4282. An E535.
    2
  4283. Yep, there is lynx and then there is links and then there is elinks. LOL. Such original names for these terminal-based browsers.
    2
  4284. Thanks, Andrew.
    2
  4285. Rebase is usually what you want.
    2
  4286. Thanks, TSM. No idea about your monitor problems. Back in the day, sometimes you had to config xorg and mess with xrandr but I haven't had to do anything like that in many, many years.
    2
  4287. You have point, Father. The more I look at it, it also resembles the Manjaro logo from a distance.
    2
  4288. You're welcome. Stay tuned. Another video on Haskell/GTK and continuing with this app...coming in a few days. ;')
    2
  4289. Next up...one of the five tiling WMs for this series...Qtile. You might find it appealing. It's one of my personal favorites.
    2
  4290. No clue on that. Just a quick google, I see there is some software required for some functions? If so, you are out of luck if that software doesn't have a Linux port.
    2
  4291. Thanks, dude! :D

  4293. I don't work with computers or Linux. I have no professional training. :D
    2
  4294. Gun control is useless. Laws designed to prevent criminals from being criminals generally don't work. Such laws only punish honest people. As far as instructions on how to make a gun, the basic designs of modern firearms hasn't changed much in the last century. Most of the proven guns of history are certainly no longer able to be patented. So build them if you have the equipment! Of course, follow the laws. And put a serial number on it. ;)
    2
  4295. Take it and use it as you wish.
    2
  4296. Thanks, Julie. Good to hear that Triquel is working well for you.
    2
  4297. Thanks, Anunay.
    2
  4298. I actually have had a virtual machine of Void I have been keeping for two months now. So I may do future vids on Void.
    2
  4299. Congrats!
    2
  4300. I was in dwm in this video. But in xmonad, just create a keybinding like: ("M-p s", spawn "bash /path/to/script") The above example assumes you use EZ keybindings. The keybinding in this example is a keychord, SUPER+p followed by 's'.
    2
  4301. The only notable differences are the suite of applications installed by default. Linux Lite has a bit more installed out of the box, including some nifty tools like the Lite Tweak program.
    2
  4302. My pleasure! :D
    2
  4303. Should work on all distros. Just a python app and python is installed on every distro. Might have to play with the fonts.
    2
  4304. Thank you, sir.
    2
  4305. I noticed this as well. PulseAudio decided to lower my mic input by itself for no apparent reason. And people say that my PulseAudio hate is unwarranted!
    2
  4306. Well, you can export everything as an archive. I think the default JEX export format is just a tar. Then send it to Mega or pcloud yourself.
    2
  4307. Yea, I remembered it what it was after recording that. The generic name "app" is rather horrible though. I should file an issue.
    2
  4308. Debian has ARM ISOs. I'm sure it would work fine if you want to go that route.
    2
  4309. Ah, yes. Definitely want the network correct before cloning. Thanks for catching that!
    2
  4310. Thanks! Glad you found this helpful/entertaining!
    2
  4311. Glad it helped!
    2
  4312. Just install them. Most of these windows managers typical have few (if any) dependencies. Just install the window manager you want to try, log out of your current DE/WM, and login to the new one.
    2
  4313. rofi-pass is a rofi script that works with the pass command. I used it on the recent video about "pass."
    2
  4314. The Ubuntu Budgie guys have some great artwork.
    2
  4315. All Along The Watchtower is one of my jams!
    2
  4316. I wouldn't call the botters "jerks". They are just a bit more committed than most folks. :D
    2
  4317. Nano must not be installed. Install it: pacman -S nano
    2
  4318. Thanks, Paul!
    2
  4319. You are correct. That will cause some conflicts for some of my programs too. Let me investigate this further.
    2
  4320. No need to feel sorry.
    2
  4321. Thanks, Daniel.
    2
  4322. Manjaro has been great! KDE...well, it's been OK. Honestly though, KDE isn't my kind of desktop. But I'm sticking with KDE for a bit before moving on. Will definitely have some update videos on this subject soon.
    2
  4323. They've been there. https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/qtile
    2
  4324. I actually wouldn't mind that as well. But, for right now...building ARM packages doesn't make too much sense until I at least get the x86_64 packages working.
    2
  4325. Maybe I'll ask him, once his self-imposed ban from modern computing and social media is over.
    2
  4326. Ok, good to know it's the distro and not the hardware.
    2
  4327. Thanks, Miguel.
    2
  4328. The guest additions worked out of the box. That's why I was able to get a full screen resolution (1920x1080) right away. Without the guest additions, the biggest screen resolution you usually can get is 1024x768 or sometimes only 800x600.
    2
  4329. No.
    2
  4330. I like Ubuntu Budgie alot.
    2
  4331. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  4332. Is that a question? Or a statement of fact! I need to know before I give confirmation. :D
    2
  4333. >Now I just need to learn a shortcut. Use a bash alias: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxPsKlXihEk
    2
  4334. I don't know anything about WSL but Emacs is cross-platform and has an actual Windows client. I'd suggest trying that...and running the standard GUI client instead of trying to run Emacs in a terminal.
    2
  4335. Thanks, Mark. Much appreciated.
    2
  4336. Thanks, Kevin.
    2
  4337. Yes, sir.
    2
  4338. So no systemd? OK, then which init system should I go with? Openrc (Gentoo), runit (Void), sysvinit (older Debian's), upstart (older Ubuntu's), etc. If the machine boots up fine and it's relatively simple to start/stop services, then I'm good. I don't get into the whole systemd good/evil debate.
    2
  4339. Read the pinned comment. And install the linux kernel.
    2
  4340. Thanks, Rob.
    2
  4341. Oh, I like reddit!@
    2
  4342. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSha9Mgympw&t=100s
    2
  4343. Will add it to my "to do" list. Just glancing at the website....what is it? There is no information given about what this distro is supposed to be.
    2
  4344. I may need to test this one... $ time awk '{print $0}' new.sh real 0m0.005s user 0m0.002s sys 0m0.002s $ time awk '//'' new.sh real 0m0.003s user 0m0.003s sys 0m0.000s
    2
  4345. Heck, half the time I type /usr/bin/program to bypass my aliases. That gets tiresome though.
    2
  4346. Looking at the output in dmesg. Appears to be using uvcvideo (the UVC protocol). So it would make sense that this device should just appear as a webcam in your programs. But I will do more testing with it....and on more distros.
    2
  4347. Will check it out. Thanks.

  4348. If you know Haskell, this is a great window manager to hack on. The code base isn't terribly large either so it might be worth reading through.
    2
  4349. I hate making negative videos about Linux but this one needed to be made.
    2
  4350. Haha. I was "this close" to downloading that ISO last night but didn't.
    2
  4351. So true. Just copy and paste random command they found on the internet. And give it sudo privileges.
    2
  4352. India is my second biggest audience by country. Thanks, India! :D
    2
  4353. Glad I could help. :D
    2
  4354. I knew what you meant, Randy!
    2
  4355. So that was you!
    2
  4356. I'll add it to my "to do" list. Thanks.
    2
  4357. Impressive has a number of dependencies, including python. You might try a different version of impressive by grabbing a tar.gz from their sourceforge. Honestly, someone needs to appimage this thing..
    2
  4358. I know I did a video on it about a month ago....it's been my file manager since then. In fact, I plan on making another video on it soon. Stay tuned.
    2
  4359. Thank, Sudip.
    2
  4360. I've seen this before with this command. Hence, why I warned everyone about that one.
    2
  4361. Awesome. It makes the transition pretty easy because it actually comes with a menu (a right-click openbox-like menu) out of the box. It also comes with a panel out of the box (many tilers do not have a built in panel/bar). Awesome has some pretty sane default configs too. It's usable right away. Of course, you will tailor it to your needs along the way. So I'd take a look at awesome.
    2
  4362. Horrible. Out of tune. Struggling at the high notes. But I thought I'd record these first few notes on my way back. Ya know, to motivate me.
    2
  4363. Never bought a Linux laptop. So I can't comment on that. I have a Toshiba Satellite that I bought with Windows on it and put Linux on it. It runs great. And I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad used off of ebay without a drive or OS. Put an SSD in it and installed Linux on it. It runs great.
    2
  4364. Thanks, Randy!
    2
  4365. ^^ Everyone should have this command memorized!
    2
  4366. Interesting choice.
    2
  4367. My musical knowledge spans a wide range on genres. Really liked reggae in my younger days. ;)
    2
  4368. Ordering a Pepperoni Lover's now. Thanks, Fr.!
    2
  4369. Thanks, Andrew. I will start looking around for old machines in the next few days. I'll see what kinda junk I can find. :D
    2
  4370. XFCE is fantastic. Touchscreen? Now that is an interesting use case.
    2
  4371. Haskell has a function called 'sequence' that allows you to run multiple commands in parallel. So in my xmonad config, I am running sequence on the dmenu command and on ffplay running the sound file. Check my xmonad config in my dotfiles repo for more info.
    2
  4372. If you know (or are learning) Python, then qtile is fantastic. It's basically xmonad written in Python instead of Haskell.
    2
  4373. Thanks, tubela!
    2
  4374. hello
    2
  4375. It's that way by default in Linux Lite. But you can do this to your terminal in any distro by installing a program called powerline-shell. I did a video on this program about 2 weeks ago.
    2
  4376. I will probably keep this fork of picom but I will definitely turn off rounded corners due to it being a hassle to force some windows to exclude themselves from having rounded corners. I will probably leave the blurring on (I don't typically have transparent backgrounds in my programs anyway) and the animations on (but I may adjust the speed).
    2
  4377. Congrats!
    2
  4378. Will definitely look at mpsyt. Thanks.
    2
  4379. Started life as Manjaro i3. Now with xmonad.
    2
  4380. Better? That's subjective. But for me, yes, I very much prefer xmonad to i3. But again, this is personal opinion.
    2
  4381. :D
    2
  4382. Taking care of that now. Thanks.
    2
  4383. Very nice work!
    2
  4384. I've thought about adding a little writing to my workload. I'll definitely consider this. Thanks, James.
    2
  4385. Indeed!
    2
  4386. I have no argument for that. :D
    2
  4387. My dmenu doesn't search the .desktop files. Usually this isn't a problem for me....except with appimages.
    2
  4388. It's a tough crowd, the Arch forums.
    2
  4389. Usually pretty fast. Typically under an hour.
    2
  4390. Thank you, my friend.
    2
  4391. Thanks, Joe. Happy New Year, sir.
    2
  4392. Xterm masterrace!
    2
  4393. I'm not annoyed by this. I actually set this to be the case in my window managers. ;)
    2
  4394. Check out my GitLab (in show description). It's wallpaper number 0239.
    2
  4395. Cairo Dock has a ton of cumstomization options due to it being a very mature product. Latte dock is rather new and not nearly as feature-rich.
    2
  4396. It's a program called 'conky' that should be every distro's repos.
    2
  4397. I have glances installed on my main machine. I think one of my early videos on this channel was about glances actually.

    2
  4402. Second! But you get the heart for the tie comment. ;)
    2
  4403. I ran Solus for a couple of months on one of my laptops. It's nice. Worth taking a look at.
    2
  4404. Thanks, Wayne.
    2
  4405. Another option is to keep the database file in the cloud.
    2
  4406. I use the Nerd Fonts.
    2
  4407. That is correct, sir.
    2
  4408. Welcome aboard! :D
    2
  4409. The xmonad keybinding should play sound and launch dmenu at the same time. My dmenu is actually a script 'dm-run' (should be in .local/bin). If it's not there, check /etc/dtos/.local/bin. Copy it over to HOME/.local/bin. And make sure all scripts in that directory are executable.
    2
  4410. Most likely the cause. Of course, Blizzard won't go into any details about it.
    2
  4411. Thanks! I think.
    2
  4412. You are not wrong, Eddie. One thing to note is that not all programs, especially older programs, save their user-specific configs to ~/.config. One example: ~/.mozilla.
    2
  4413. It is, indeed. That mistake will now live forever in the annals of DistroTube. :D
    2
  4414. Haskell updates always break Xmonad.. You have to recompile XMonad every time you have updates to 'xmonad' or any 'haskell-*' packages. You can automate xmonad recompiling by adding a pacman hook that automatically triggers 'xmonad --recompile' after an update. I did a video about pacman hooks I think. Also, you will find the pacman hooks I use on my GitLab...in dotfiles....xmonad/pacman-hooks.
    2
  4415. The streak is over!
    2
  4416. Thank you, sir. Will take a look at kamoso and mons. Happy New Year.
    2
  4417. config.h
    2
  4418. BunsenLabs would be a comfortable distro for me. So would Crunchbang++. So would SalentOS. Hard to beat Debian and Openbox.
    2
  4419. 21189 ? Let's just round that number up to 1,000,000.. lol
    2
  4420. You don't just add your entire $HOME to your dotfiles repo. Just add the configs that you need, avoiding any that contain passwords or sensitive information.
    2
  4421. You only really need to add the files one time. So in my video, I used the alias "config" for the bare repo (to keep things straight from my other git repos). So if I want to add something, I just "config add filename". Or I can simply "config add -u" to add the files that have been updated since the last push.
    2
  4422. Why are you thinking of scrotums? 🤔
    2
  4423. >so siduction or arco? Or Sabayon. Or Windows? :D With the Icy Dock, I might be able to try them all at some point.
    2
  4424. Thanks, initega.
    2
  4425. Perfectly safe.
    2
  4426. You're good then. No one can ssh into your machine without a key.
    2
  4427. MATE is a fork of the old GNOME 2...before they killed it.
    2
  4428. Surprised it took this long for this comment.
    2
  4429. Computer novices love them. Chromebooks just work.
    2
  4430. Nice! Hope you like it.
    2
  4431. I know longer run that distro or use calcurse. But my terminal font was Ubuntu Mono. Color scheme might be: https://github.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/termite/config That's from my github page. It's my termite config but you can plug in the color scheme to whatever terminal you prefer.
    2
  4432. Everything is on my GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers The one you are after is this: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/wallpapers/blob/master/0171.jpg
    2
  4433. It seems you are correct. Pip does not need sudo. In fact, they recommend against it. Thanks, Michael.
    2
  4434. No, yay/pamac do not magically guess what dependencies are needed. They only get the dependencies needed if the maintainer added them to the PKGBUILD. So, just like there was a missing dependency (ncurses) needed for that Vim pacstall installation, the same thing would happen in Arch if the package maintainer forget to add ncurses as a dependency.
    2
  4435. I probably will revisit some of these topics soon. Not currently running Openbox on my main machine (switched to KDE) but I still have all my old configs. YIf you want to look through my configs, you can find my old configs at my github page: https://github.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/openbox https://github.com/dwt1/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/tint2
    2
  4436. That's a feature, not a bug.
    2
  4437. Glad you enjoyed this, Dan.
    2
  4438. Might be what I do.
    2
  4439. Glad you found it useful.
    2
  4440. People ask me why Openbox doesn't get see much development these days. My answer: because it is feature-complete! :D
    2
  4441. MX is pretty solid. My mom uses it. (Well, I replaced her Windows 7 with it)
    2
  4442. New name, LT? Liking that too! :D
    2
  4443. Tabbed only does this autohide thing if you patch it to do so.
    2
  4444. Confirmed!
    2
  4445. If the video card isn't supported on newer kernels, maybe try installing an older kernel. But it might also be a driver issue (are you using the free Nouveau drivers or the proprietary Nvidia drivers?). Hard to say. My suggestion would be try Manjaro again and try using their mhwd tool to install the proprietary drivers: https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Configure_NVIDIA_(non-free)_settings_and_load_them_on_Startup Best of luck!
    2
  4446. Thanks, tubela!

  4447. You know me, TOS. I am all about the stability!
    2
  4448. Will check it out. Thanks, Rob.
    2
  4449. Nice. It's a damn fine mug, if I say so myself. 👍
    2
  4450. I work in retail. I don't do anything with Linux or computers professionally.
    2
  4451. Go for it!
    2
  4452. Did the words "Joe Collins" come out of my mouth during this video? It's like people just imagine things I say in these videos!
    2
  4453. I am "assuming" that you are assuming. I'm talking about the clowns raiding my previous video earlier today. Watched a bit of Joe's video (not the whole thing) but I take no issue with his opinions about Mint or the article or me. From what I have seen of Joe, he's quite reasonable in his commentary. No, I am talking about the hysterical girls trying to put words in my mouth in the comments of my video. I hope you are not attempting to do the same. ;)
    2
  4454. :D
    2
  4455. Yea, that's the pop filter for these Electro-Voice mics.
    2
  4456. I had thought about it. It would be very easy to add a README.org to my .config/fish/ directory and have the source blocks output to the config.fish.
    2
  4457. As far as the graphics driver in Virtualbox, I used the same driver (VMVSGA) for the Ubuntu VM as well. And to be honest, GNOME is very responsive using that driver. I didn't have any issues using that driver. Animations were buttery smooth. Menus open instantly. Really nice responsiveness. But to see if the driver had any impact on RAM usage, I switched over to the VboxVGA driver to check things out. Instead of 1G of RAM on a cold boot, it now uses 1.15G of RAM on boot. Switched the driver on Ubuntu as well (also using Wayland), and got 730M of RAM on a cold boot. So I'm not sure the driver makes much difference, other than it does enable the VMs to automatically change screen resolution.
    2
  4458. I think the Sabayon guys are planning to switch to the Calamares installer soon.
    2
  4459. We are a small group, no doubt.
    2
  4460. Someone should rewrite this in Haskell. ;p

  4477. Should be the Super/Windows key...but I should mention that if your desktop environment/window manager has the Super key binded to a command. If you run a tiling window manager on your host machine and it has it's mod key set to SUPER, then it will cause some issues for you in a virtual machine if it's mod key is also SUPER. Also, desktops like Unity use the SUPER key to open the dash/menu.

  4495. I remember PyPanel actually. When I first started playing around Linux on the desktop, PyPanel was already dead (last updated in 2005). Fbpanel has been dead since 2010. I mentioned int he video that I used bmpanel2 at one point...it's long dead now too. I didn't want to install anything that's long dead, broken, and no longer being maintained. Tint2 would be perfect for PekWM but PekWM is really picky with the width and margins on Tint2. For some reason, it refuses to accept a Tint2 panel that is 100% width...so that kinda sucks. But PekWM is cool with lxpanel at 100% so I just went with that.

  4496. Another Arch distro. People already complain that I review too many of these things. But I'll add it to my "to do" list. Looks interesting. Thanks.

    1
  4513. I've seen this in other terminal programs (especially lynx), and not just in qtile either. An easy fix for when this happens is to make sure you have your terminal emulator setup so you have increase/decrease the font with a keybinding (I know urxvt, xterm, termite and st all have this ability). Simply increasing (or decreasing) the font size and then doing the opposite fixes the issue.
    1
  4514. Thanks, luckyboy!

  4515. Classic mode isn't enabled with that symbolic. But classic snaps won't work correctly if you don't have that symlink.
    1
  4516. Yea, I actually meant to mention AppArmor for those on Arch. But it didn't make it on video. I would guess most Arch users will read the documentation when installing snapd anyway. But I will add a note about this in the show description.

  4519. Looks like that is xmonad. But resizing a floating window is the same in pretty much all tiling window managers. Hold the right click mouse button and adjust the size accordingly. Left click on the mouse allows you to move the window.

  4534. Hey, Elstan. Sounds like maybe a puser/ermission problem? "Can't create temp directory" definitely makes me think it might be a permission issue. I don't spend that much time with flatpak though.
    1
  4535. OK, let's make sure your user really has sudo privileges. First, as root (su): usermod -aG sudo yourusername Then, we need to check out the sudoers file. So, again as root (su): visudo Then, make sure the line that starts with %sudo is there and is uncommented (no hash symbol in front): # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL Best of luck!
    1
  4536. Appreciate that, Evil.

    1
  4548. I should.
    1
  4549. Hard drive failures are common regardless of what OS you run. I wouldn't blame Manjaro or Antergos for something like that. Now if you update Manjaro or Arch and reboot and get a kernel panic....you can blame the OS on that! :D

  4562. You need to install a font that can display those characters. The Nerd Fonts are a good choice.
    1
  4563. Thanks, Anzan.
    1
  4564. Nothing I do would be easier with GNOME. ;)
    1
  4565. Thanks, Gabi.
    1
  4566. Glad you found this useful, sir.
    1
  4567. I hadn't considered doing anything that extensive. I do put all of my configs on GitLab though which for you, the viewer, is probably better, since you can try some of this stuff out rather than running an install script that installs EVERYTHING that I use with ALL of my configs. Oh, and the install script would assume that you want to run the same distro as me.
    1
  4568. No list of packages.
    1
  4569. I may do Windows on one of my laptops at some point. Could be fun.
    1
  4570. Just switched over to Mononoki Nerd Font!
    1
  4571. Thanks, Ogami!
    1
  4572. Haha! No. The line count returned is the actual number of lines.

  4573. Thanks, Kevin. Much appreciated!

  4574. My comment about taking a distro and quickly getting the number one spot--yea, I can't take a brand new distro and do that unless Distrowatch approves my distro. But I can take a distro that is already approved and do this. I could even take a distro that has been dead for years (that is Distrowatch approved) and has no install base whatsoever and, through the use of blackhat SEO and spam, get that dead distro to rank high in the list. I saw this done a few years back. Someone gamed the system and ranked some obscure distro that hadn't been relevant in many, many years all the way to number one. Distrowatch realized they were getting played and deleted that distro from the rankings after a couple of hours.
    1
  4575. The user password.
    1
  4576. Yea, if you are not wanting any graphical environment....Arch or Gentoo would probably be the best options for you.
    1
  4577. rmcellig Much appreciated.
    1
  4578. Glad you stuck it out, Tony. Hope it's working out for you.
    1
  4579. Yep, it's fixed in the config in my dotfiles repo.
    1
  4580. Ohhhhh. I NEED THAT!
    1
  4581. Thanks, George.
    1
  4582. Might do that. Thanks, Alex.
    1
  4583. Thanks, Keith!
    1
  4584. Thanks, Gabi.
    1
  4585. First runner-up.
    1
  4586. Yea, Ubuntu has the option to install those third party drivers. That really helps with wifi and graphics drivers.
    1
  4587. Thanks, Dan.
    1
  4588. Sudo is a hard dependency of yay.
    1
  4589. Wow. And it uses one of my favorite command line apps....ponysay!
    1
  4590. Thanks, Serge. Really enjoyed Calculate. Loved every minute of it. It's something I could definitively see myself using long-term. The xorg issue wasn't too big of a deal but I was planning on hopping in the next couple of weeks anyway. So I didn't even attempt to look for the fix. I the beta of Lubuntu 18.04 downloaded so I installed it. Wanted to get back up and running as quickly as possible because I had a certain block of time set aside to make videos this weekend. I still have a VM of Calculate that I've been playing with as well. So I may still ask you the occasional support question. :D
    1
  4591. Thanks, Boss.
    1
  4592. Since I installed four of these with ZFS, I decided against showing htop because RAM usage will show as being quite high. Not really a fair representation.
    1
  4593. The big ISO contains a live desktop. There is a minimal ISO that is around 750MB.
    1
  4594. Thanks, Colin.
    1
  4595. Crazy how many distros have come and gone in 25 years...but Slackware and Debian are still kicking.
    1
  4596. Awesome! Thanks for that, Eric!
    1
  4597. You need a package called peep-dired. Install it, then run it with M-x: peep-dired. Or make a keybinding to use it. I added this to my config.el in Doom Emacs: (global-set-key (kbd "C-x i") 'peep-dired)
    1
  4598. This is also #9 and #10.
    1
  4599. That makes no sense to use an unnecessary program to manage keybindings when the window manager itself handles this quite well.
    1
  4600. I should have just titled the vid RTFM!
    1
  4601. Honestly, as much as I was impressed with Deepin's look and feel, the crazy high CPU usage does bother me a bit. Of all the desktop environments I've run on these video reviews, it's definitely been the worst as far as CPU usage. Also, I mentioned in the video that I had a hard crash (not on camera). Truth be told, I had TWO hard crashes that caused me to restart the virtual machine. But this is in a virtual machine, so I didn't want to focus on that point.
    1
  4602. Thanks, Jesper.
    1
  4603. You can still install Unity in 18.04 if you prefer. It's in the repos.
    1
  4604. Either would be fine, Simone. Try them both (on a live USB stick) and see which you prefer.

  4611. Not sure how enjoyable this will be. But it's for research purposes so...
    1
  4612. This video wasn't about putting something out their with infinite rewatchability (made up word?). This video and all the community responses regarding this decision by Manjaro might seem like overreactions after Manjaro changes their position on the matter. But so be it. The Linux community called out these guys for pushing proprietary trialware, and the Linux community got them to change their minds. Thank you, Linux community! And thank you, Manjaro team! I do hope the folks at Manjaro start understanding the vital role they play in the free and open source software movement, and never shirk their responsibility in said movement.
    1
  4613. A quick search pulled up this: https://github.com/arcolinux/arcolinux-xmonad-xmobar/blob/master/etc/skel/.xmonad/xmonad.hs (xmobar) And this: https://github.com/arcolinux/arcolinux-xmonad-polybar/blob/master/etc/skel/.xmonad/xmonad.hs (polybar)
    1
  4614. Still using it. It's fantastic.
    1
  4615. If I was doing my own distro, then that would make sense. But this is a post-installation script, and most Arch-based distros are already using /etc/skel for their own packages. So it creates a lot of conflicts between my packages and that distro's own packages. Hence the need for having my own special directory (/etc/dtos). ;)
    1
  4616. Congrats!
    1
  4617. Thanks, Serge.
    1
  4618. You mean like a text-based browser? Like lynx? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtkqXCq4I9o&t=3s
    1
  4619. You are correct. Not sure how that happened. It's not the ISO that I intended to grab. Oh well. Maybe I'll grab the AppPack ISO when I put this on real hardware.
    1
  4620. That doesn't sound like something I want to try then.
    1
  4621. Absolutely not. The menu-based installer offers common options for things, not every option available though.
    1
  4622. Yep, the entire movie in ASCII. Disappointed that The Empire Strikes Back isn't available in ASCII. The part where Luke screams NOOOOOOOOO! would have been so cool in ASCII. :D
    1
  4623. I've got Termux on my phone. Played with a little bit. Might do a video on it at some point.
    1
  4624. I have had a couple of requests about doing more openbox config videos. I may do what you suggest...do some minimal install on Debian (or Arch) and then run through how to setup a proper openbox session, complete with how to edit all the various config files.
    1
  4625. Thanks, eznix. Nothing like doing a fresh install.
    1
  4626. Thanks, Dr3wkee!
    1
  4627. Thanks, jagardina.
    1
  4628. Trying to keep a little variety to these videos. Got to do videos for the terminal lovers occasionally. :D
    1
  4629. Thanks, Rob.
    1
  4630. Microsoft can't buy git. They are just buying GitHub...which hosts alot of git repos.
    1
  4631. Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
    1
  4632. Yep, I need to check out dwm at some point. Happy Holidays!
    1
  4633. And our returning champ...
    1
  4634. Sandboxing is a nice feature of Snaps and Flatpak. Also nice way to have mulltiple versions of a program installed.
    1
  4635. At least once a year, I like to "terminal rick roll" myself. Just to remind myself how much I hate that song. :D
    1
  4636. I don't play with xorg.conf at all. Simply telling xmobar to launch on monitor 1 (-x 0) or whatever monitor you choose is all you need to do.
    1
  4637. I don't use a laptop attached to extra monitors, so I can't help you with this.
    1
  4638.  @clouddaemon4828  Try asking the xmonad guys. They have a subreddit that seems fairly active. They also have a GitHub.
    1
  4639. There's nothing worth sharing. And you can get exactly what I'm using by doing what I did in the video: (1) Install oh-my-fish (2) omf theme ### lists the themes available for install (3) omf install sashimi ### the theme I used in this video.
    1
  4640. The colors are determined by your terminal color scheme. Look in my dotfiles for my alacritty config if you use alacritty. Look through my dotfiles for my Xresources if you use urxvt. For st, look in my st-distrotube repo.
    1
  4641. That bar is a part of qtile.
    1
  4642. I didn't do anything different as far as my camera. The lighting was a little low in this video, compared to the previous vim video. Other than that, the same.
    1
  4643. You are missing a dependency called "lxml". You need to install that. The package name may vary depending on your distro, but on Arch it's called python-lxml.
    1
  4644. If things are working for you, then you are fine. No need to reinstall anything. But some people have had issues with dmenu and xmobar due to locale settings, so that's why the warning is there now.
    1
  4645. Thanks, Sagar.
    1
  4646. Thanks, Karl. I will probably check it out in a VM as well. Looks like a neat project.
    1
  4647. Thanks, John. Appreciate that.
    1
  4648. I don't disagree!
    1
  4649. Great idea! Simplifies things a bit. My original thought was to embed another case statement within the 'Random' case statement, so that when it returns the name of the manpage, if you don't want to read that manpage (you've read it already), then it had the option to rerun the random manpage generator. But I didn't follow through with that idea on video.
    1
  4650. I may do this. I haven't tried Redshift myself....yet.
    1
  4651. 'screenkey' It's in everybody's repos.
    1
  4652. Backslash. So in my config, Backslash+v, followed by v opens vifm. Backslash+t, followed by a t opens a terminal in a split. Etc.
    1
  4653. Good tip on the language for vimtutor! And yes, you can easily disable the mode showing below the powerline. I have that line commented in my vimrc right now so that it's more obvious when I change modes. The colors of my powerline need to be tweaked a bit to make it more obvious what mode I'm in.
    1
  4654. Are you asking about the Openbox theme? It is called Mabox Superdesk.
    1
  4655. Thanks, Alex. Good luck in college!

  4661. Awesome, thank you!
    1
  4662. Well, the surf browser isn't exactly a sexy topic, I guess. :D
    1
  4663. I wouldn't say never use it. But users should be aware that it will quit without giving you a warning if you have unsaved changes.
    1
  4664. Thank you, sir.

  4669. Been awhile since I did an in-depth video on Openbox. It's something I need to revisit in the future.

  4670. GhostBSD is not anything like Ubuntu or Mint. Not for a new user.
    1
  4671. IRC is great!
    1
  4672. I didn't use the command :wc. I used the keybinding Ctrl-w c. And it doesn't write. ;)
    1
  4673. Thanks.

    1
  4677. If you are editing the config file, and see no changes and no error messages, then make sure you don't have a config in one of the other places it would look for a config. It's possible it created one for you and placed it in one of those locations.
    1
  4678. CONFIG_HOME would usually by /home/yourname/.config/
    1
  4679. I thought a few people would catch that one. ;)

  4680. The one that looks the most polished and put together...the mainline editio Ubuntu 18.04. It just seems to work. And supported for five years!
    1
  4681. It's not a bad idea to scan for Windows viruses on your Linux machine a few times a year. Just to keep from spreading those viruses on to others that use Windows.
    1
  4682. Thanks, Ratimir.
    1
  4683. That is a Blue Yeti, jarkko.
    1
  4684. It really is!
    1
  4685. Can't help you with that. It worked for me back when I tried it. You should contact the Redcore main dev (Ghiunhan). He's great with supporting his distro. One of the official Redcord support channels: irc.freenode.net #redcorelinux

    1
  4689. I've never used pywal but doesn't it change the colors in your Xresources? If so, that won't have any effect on dwm because it doesn't use Xresources. You set the colors in dwm in it's config.h.
    1
  4690. Thanks, Delis!
    1
  4691. That is correct
    1
  4692. Yes, sir. Get a terminal-based email client and you're set. :D

  4697. Those icons appear in a system tray. There is no systray builtin to spectrwm. You could try to use a third-party systray though. I did video awhile back on trayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyJjiYVggBs

  4700. The videos support only one resolution...whatever they were uploaded as. So that may be an issue for some people, especially on mobile devices where you probably don't want to watch everything in 1080p.
    1
  4701. Recording QubesOS is a challenge because everything is it's own VM in Qubes. It can't be installed in a VM and I don't have a test machine with the specs to run it (need a high end machine due all the virtualization).
    1
  4702. Thanks, Kerwin. Take care, mate!

  4705. >layout saving, tabbed and stacked layouts. What makes you think that I didn't try any of that? As a matter of fact, I specifically mentioned all three of those in my vids about i3. >They make i3 more powerful than pretty much any other tiling window manager. Really? Most tiling managers allow you to save layouts or config your own custom layouts. That's nothing special at all. And some tilers also have similar tabbed layouts...or you could build one yourself. Me personally, I have no use for a tabbed layout. But if you like it, great! >i3 has the best documentation of any window manager that I'm aware of You are correct though about i3 having good documentation. The best documentation? That's debatable. Xmonad (and Haskell) have fantastic documentation. Qtile has pretty solid documentation too. Dwm and herbstluft....woefully lacking in that department though.

  4706. Nice!

  4725. 1920x Threadripper (12 core/24 thread), Radeon VII, 32GB RAM. It's a rather new machine I just got about 2 weeks ago. I made a video about it if you want more info on it.
    1
  4726. Silence him? It's a free country. He can talk about anything he wants. I simply stated he's probably not the best person to put out front for the "free software" movement. When you start telling people that pedophilia should be legalized and eating things off of your foot, you probably aren't going to get a lot of people to take "free software" seriously.
    1
  4727. That's unfortunate. LOL. Easily rectified though.

  4739. Updating your system (sudo pacman -Syu) should not overwrite your changes. In fact, it's impossible for it do so, since pacman is not allowed to touch anything in a user's home directory, which is where all of your user config files live.

  4757. Maybe some day I'll do a standalone Compiz setup with the compiz-boxmenu program ( https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz-boxmenu ) on this channel. I've done such a setup before many, many years ago. Compiz works OK as a standalone WM. IWitht eh boxmenu, i's like Openbox or Fluxbox...except with a little more panache...and not nearly as fast.
    1
  4758. Yea, I have to take this channel in new directions soon. I've reviewed way too many Linux distros! The good news is there is plenty to discuss Linux-related. Also, hardware-related stuff would be cool. Expensive to get into though. But we may get there eventually.

  4778. Appreciate that, Paul.

  4779. Hey!
    1
  4780. I have it installed. It is my default browser on my phone.
    1
  4781. Yea, this is why it was good to have Serge around. The installation is straightforward. Updating the system and installing packages not already on the system...it's a bit confusing....because there are a variety of ways to do some of this.
    1
  4782. Good to keep a variety of coffees around. Sometimes I like a good dark roast. Joe's dark roast is great. Sometimes I like something sweet...really liking the Starbuck's Caramel Latte Keurig boxes at the moment.
    1
  4783. It's important. My go to brand lately is Joe (medium roast). :D
    1
  4784. Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

  4786. Was being a bit sarcastic with that comment. ;)
    1
  4787. Thank you, sir!
    1
  4788. Yep, if you've never used a tiler....this will feel weird at first.
    1
  4789. No more 32 bit images.
    1
  4790. I appreciate that, Kurt. Nietzsche said it best: “In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”
    1
  4791. Thank you, sir!
    1
  4792. It's an exact clone of Gimp. Nothing to see there.
    1
  4793. Thanks, lvtt! :D
    1
  4794. Because the OBS team never trademarked OBS. So Streamlabs now can trademark "Streamlabs OBS" and the OBS team can't do squat about it.
    1
  4795. Not sure how I'd incorporate that into this channel. "Hey, guys. Tonight I'm reviewing yet another Arch-based distro...and reviewing this tasty étouffée that I just cooked."
    1
  4796. Prefer my catfish blackened. Put on a bed of rice and then make a butter cream sauce with either shrimp or crawfish tails to pour over it.

  4800. Might be something I take a look at...at some point. Adding it to my "to do" list. Thanks!
    1
  4801. Nice!
    1
  4802. Yep, they should have never messed with the Gentoo guys. Payback is a b-tch.
    1
  4803. Still have it one of my drives. Presentarms is working a new ISO for it and, if all goes well, I might try to do a live stream from it. We will see. :D

  4823. Thank you, sir. Couldn't do it without you guys!
    1
  4824. Thanks, David. Funny you comment on this MX video. I actually just wrapped up recording a video on the new 17.1 release a few minutes ago. Will take a couple of hours to render in Kdenlive. Late here so I will probably post it in the morning. Take care, David.
    1
  4825. No issues.
    1
  4826. Thanks, Chas.
    1
  4827. Think this was Manjaro with qtile at the time.
    1
  4828. It's nothing special. It's just a cheap logitech keyboard (k350 ) I bought years ago.
    1
  4829. Everything in moderation.
    1
  4830. It all just preference. Give them both a try and see what you think. I prefer dynamic tilers like qtile and xmonad over the manual tilers like i3 and herbstluftwm. But again, just preference. You might have a different opinion.
    1
  4831. I will check it out.
    1
  4832. Thanks, Rex.

  4838. Audacity is for post production and doesn't do anything in real time. However, there are a few filters in OBS that can clean up your audio during streaming, including noise suppression and compression.
    1
  4839. There isn't an undo command. You simply create them again. I just created a bunch of empty files with touch: touch file1.txt file2.txt etc etc ... Because the names are so similar, something like the following works: touch file{1..10}.txt
    1
  4840. >Yeah, it's kinda nonsense to keep the outdated ISOs available for download. And announcing additional desktops but greying them out is a bit far reached as well. This is the reason that some of these distros, I don't do any research on...I just go in blind. If I can't navigate the website and download the correct ISO, chances are that alot of other users (especially novices) will not be able to either. Hopefully, the Namib devs take note of this.
    1
  4841. Excellent idea on the stickers! :D
    1
  4842. Glad you enjoyed it.
    1
  4843. Thanks for the info.
    1
  4844. ArchLabs offers a bspwm version. Arco's main edition has Xfce/openbox/i3 installed. More advanced would be some of the ArcoLinuxD editions with various window managers...the install is a command line install though.
    1
  4845. It wouldn't be too tough a task. And you could even have a search form in Gemini (using CGI).
    1
  4846. I know, right. Where is Ratpoison ...CDE? :D
    1
  4847. L M A O Implying there are a lot of WMs out there. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

    1
  4850. I hope to do another video continuing where I left off with this script, since I didn't really make the script do what I originally wanted. And yes, choice will be a part of that video if/when I get to it.
    1
  4851. No, actually. That's never been something that I tried to do.
    1
  4852. Then change it. Read the Wiki. This video isn't going to serve every person in every situation. Some of this, you need to figure out on your own.
    1
  4853. Thanks! I think.
    1
  4854. Not a chance.
    1
  4855. Thanks, Analog!
    1
  4856. I haven't had this issue in Brave. Scroll speed seems normal as compared to Firefox and LibreWolf. I mean, it's a little slower but nothing excruciatingly painful like in Qutebrowser.
    1
  4857. No one can help you when you don't give the actual error message.
    1
  4858. What distro are you doing this on? And on hardware or in a VM (and which VM)?
    1
  4859. Which version of Arco? I will download the ISO and install it in Virt-Manager and see if I get an error.
    1
  4860. OK, it looks like the problem is adding the keyserver to /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf In that file, find these lines and delete if they exist: keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443 keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 Then re-run the script. I'll add that to my TODO list. :D
    1
  4861. OK, I've pushed a new version of the script that seems to have fixed the issue with adding keyservers to Arco Linux.
    1
  4862. The definition of BLOAT! :D
    1
  4863. Thanks, lowrider.
    1
  4864. I'd just install it and start using it. You can still use whatever DE/WM you already have if qtile isn't working out for you.
    1
  4865. You don't have a wallpaper load by default in qtile because qtile is just a window manager...that's it. It doesn't do anything else. To set wallpaper, you need to use a third party program like nitrogen. Then you need to write a simple shell script for your programs that must autostart every time you login to qtile. Here's mine: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/qtile/autostart.sh You will notice the line I have: "nitrogen --restore &". This sets the wallpaper for me since I have nitrogen installed and use it to set my wallpaper. You have to add a hook to your qtile config to always run your autostart script: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/qtile/config.py Check my config starting at line 604. Good luck!
    1
  4866. Much appreciated!
    1
  4867. Wallpapers are easy. I have a bunch of my favorite wallpapers saved in Dropbox.
    1
  4868. I have to figure out a way to get Tiny Core to work for me first. The problem is it doesn't run well at all in Virtualbox which would be the easiest way for me to record it. I could run Tiny Core off a live USB but they won't have anything like OBS or SSR in their repos for me to stream/record while I'm inside Tiny Core. It presents some challenges. I need to try using Tiny Core in some other virtualization programs other than VirtualBox and see if it behaves a bit better.
    1
  4869. That's strange. I cannot get the mouse to behave correctly in VirtualBox. It sometimes will only work ona certain portion of the screen. Sometimes I open windows but cannot move them or close them because the mouse will not reach over to them. Maybe it's a settings issue.
    1
  4870. Double-checking it now....yep...I boot into Tiny Core in Vbox and the mouse right now only works in the top third of the screen. If I try to move the mouse lower that that, it just moves completely out of Vbox. I'm installing QEMU/Virt-Manager as I type this though. Let me try Tiny Core in that.
    1
  4871. The guest additions I can live without. But I can't do much without the mouse working properly. Let me try to get it running in Virtualbox on a different machine.
    1
  4872. Oh, I will work something out. I just installed Linux Mint 19 on one of my laptops. Let's see if I can get Tiny Core working inside Virtualbox on that machine. If not, I might just wipe out Mint and install Tiny Core on that machine. I know Tiny Core has recordmydesktop in the repos. So I could record me playing around on the desktop. Hopefully I can record audio as well (but I can always use my main machine to record audio and then merge the video and audio later).
    1
  4873. Thanks for the tip, Serge. Still having the same mouse issues though.
    1
  4874. I think that might have done it, Serge! Seems to be working smoothly. Thank you, sir!
    1
  4875. If Microsoft didn't expect to make money with it, I doubt they would drop $5 billion on it.

  4877. Thanks, POISON!
    1
  4878. There is no reliable way to determine the install base for each distro and rank them. One thing we can be sure of is that Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro (by far) on the desktop. Beyond that, who knows.
    1
  4879. Thanks, james.

    1
  4882. Very cool!

  4883. Not an active user. I keep an install going in Virtualbox just to keep up with Calculate. But I don't do much in it. Just check in a couple times a week and update it. Happy New Year!

  4889. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4890. Thanks, ilunghi. And yes, this is completely stock Linux Lite 4.0. The only thing I did was install Team Viewer so I could remotely access this machine if I ever need to service it.
    1
  4891. Thank you, sir!
    1
  4892. Yea, find is one of those commands you probably SHOULD review the man page to learn how to use it. Just having a few examples of usage doesn't really do it justice.
    1
  4893. It's not a real agenda. It's just an example agenda.org that I keep in my dotfiles. But I appreciate your concern.
    1
  4894. The Arch guys removed a bunch of stuff from the base install right after I posted this video. You might need to install dhcpcd now: sudo pacman -S dhcpcd I will also warn you that you now need to install the kernel too: sudo pacman -S linux Read the pinned comment for more info.

  4896. Also, we should thank the people in support channels. These people are NOT PAID to sit there and help solve other people's problems. They do it out of charity. Yet, some people get frustrated sometimes with the quality of the free support channels and start badmouthing the guys in the support forums/channels.
    1
  4897. Thanks, Don!

  4917. Haha. I actually did remember the "hey dummy, use the package manager to see what's installed" command. Another user also pointed out that, since I use pcmanfm, it has a bookmark in the left column called APPLICATIONS that goes to a folder where all your apps live. I'm sure there are a dozen other ways I could have discovered what's installed on the system.

  4918. Good tip. I remapped CTRL to "z" when held. Not having to stretch that extra inch makes a big difference.

  4947. You would not be able to add an RSS feed using the method I showed for adding scrolling text. Your best bet is to find a program that scrolls an RSS feed on your desktop, and then , under sources, choose "Window Capture (xcomposite)" and select the "program" that you wish OBS to capture (your scrolling feed reader).

  4967. Speaking strictly about YouTube ad revenue, well this can vary wildly from month-to-month. It's often said that normally you should expect about $1 per 1,000 views. I think that's a pretty good estimate for most creators, but again it can vary greatly depending on your geographical location and/or the topic of your videos. Because some advertisers pay more for their ads to be served to certain demographics.
    1
  4968. I like the way you think!
    1
  4969. If the problem is finding the default config, I don't run Ubuntu so I don't know where that file is. But you can copy the default config from me: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/qtile/default_config.py

  4976. I never bother with hard drive encryption so I might not be the person to ask this question. No one else has access to my machines. But, if my machines were accessable to others, the disk encryption might be a way to go. Think about if someone stole your laptop. They don't have your password but they could boot up the machine with a live USB stick and access all your files. Encryption prevents something like that. One downside to encryption is that you better not lose the password or key. If you do, doing something like a simple backup/restore becomes impossible and you could lose all your data.
    1
  4977. I have used QEMU in the past but never tried it on the channel. Recording the VMs would probably work the same though.
    1
  4978. Yep, just different. I like prebuilt layouts for what I do because I record my desktop (for these videos) and like certain layouts for different applications that I'm capturing in OBS. I don't want to have to create the same layout every time I record a video.

    1
  4983. To update: sudo pacman -Syu For new packages, like my awesome config or qtile config, install with 'sudo pacman -S dtos-awesome dtos-qtile'. All dtos-* packages install their config files inside /etc/dtos . You must move the configs yourself into their appropriate places in your $HOME directory. This is done as to not just automatically overwrite anyone's existing configs.
    1
  4984.  @username54487  You copy whatever you need. What the DTOS installation script does is it installs all of the various dtos-* packages to /etc/dtos. Then it copies everything in /etc/dtos over to the user's $HOME. But after the installation, any dtos-* packages that get installed or updated just get put in /etc/dtos without being automatically moved to $HOME, because at this point you have probably already starting editing the configs and making them your own. But if you ever need the default config for something, just look in /etc/dtos.

  4987. On a multi-user system, each user's configs should be saved to their own separate home directory. So yes, each user's panel and tray would be using their own configs.
    1
  4988. I know, right! For a long time I thought it was really possible to type 200 wpm...all without using your thumbs. Was devastated when I realized it was just Hollywood shenanigans.

  4989. My system font is UbuntuMono Nerd Font. The nerd font version of UbuntuMono is patched for supporting special unicode characters such as the powerline characters in vim. No icons were in this video. I didn't use any GUI programs that used icons. If you are asking about the workspaces in the top panel, those are just unicode characters.
    1
  4990. Good tip!

  4991. Been fighting with that lately. Having some issues with my cameras.

  4992. Vivaldi is not licensed under a free license. It's a proprietary license.
    1
  4993. I break it down as such: 60% chocolate pop tart, 30% coffee and 10% dumb luck. You always have to factor in luck.
    1
  4994. So you want a panel with a traditional menu system? Try lxpanel. Desktop icons? That's a bit trickier. I know some file managers have the ability to manage desktop icons (nautilus, pcmanfm). But I haven't tried to make it work in a tiling window manager. Doesn't make sense anyway since you will never see the desktop unless you have nothing open.
    1
  4995. Still processing maybe. See if it's available in 1080p yet.
    1
  4996. Haven't tried that one. I should look at that one in a VM on the channel sometime. Defintely would want to see it in a VM before installing on a production machine.
    1
  4997. Cool link. Will definitely check that out. Thanks!
    1
  4998. Oh my! I've lurked around some of the Linux-related subreddits. And you hit on two issues that will REALLY set alot of Redditors off. First, Distrowatch. It's great for release announcements. But don't bring of the Page Hits Rankings. Everyone knows they are garbage and you will get flamed. Second, Phoronix is actually banned from some Linux reddits. The Phorinix guy basically justs copy and pastes things from other postings and from mailing lists for his "articles." Instead of linking to his "articles" it's preferred to link to the true source of his "articles." Anyway, keep me posted on how many downvotes you get. :D
    1
  4999. Thanks, Andrew!
    1
  5000. Thank you, my friend.
    1
  5001. Well, you can already do something similar to this with your .desktop entries. In your .desktop files you can set a line to: NoDisplay=true. These programs will no longer appear in your desktop environment's menu.
    1
  5002. Yea I might make a quick video about it sometime. You can open your file manager (as root) and navigate to /usr/share/applications. This is where your .desktop launcher files live. You can edit them with your text editor. You can set them to not display. You can also set them to not display in certain desktop environments (if, for example, you want it to show in GNOME but not KDE).
    1
  5003. Check my GitLab. Link is in the show notes.
    1
  5004. Haven't tried any Chrome/Firefox plugins.

  5005. anticapitalista antiX oh I will download the latest. When I made the video it wasn't released yet

  5006. Thanks, Karl. Take care, brother.

  5007. Thanks, Monk!

  5010. https://mastodon.technology/@distrotube
    1
  5011. Yep. Anyone on a Arch-based distro can copy exactly what I did. On other distros, some things will be different...you might have to compile neofetch and/or powerline-shell.
    1
  5012. Thanks, Memorias!
    1
  5013. Yep. How did I mess that up! Regardless, you can't connect to the repos, so even with the correct command....nothing.
    1
  5014. Never had any slowness with my qtile either. As fast as any of the other tilers I login to on a regular basis.
    1
  5015. Just download them from their websites or their GitHub. Then place them /usr/share/fonts (need sudo). Then run: sudo fc-cache -fv (to update your fonts)
    1
  5016. Not possible to do a static forum. lol Hmm...maybe this is something to explore.
    1
  5017. Funny you mention EDNC. I added it to my Doom Emacs config a few days ago to play around with it. It has some quirks to it. At first, nothing really worked because it does not play nice with Evil. So I had to remap the EDNC keybindings. I haven't dived too deep into it EDNC, but I will definitely watch your video. EDIT: Holy cow! A 59 minute video. :D
    1
  5018. Will check that out. Thanks, Francisco. Happy New Year.
    1
  5019. Yea, when I did SUPER+r for the Resize Mode, it caused some issues. The video recording froze. And the sync got all wonky. Not sure why that would happen. But it is what it is.
    1
  5020. Actually, it looks like it got out of sync when I tried to resize the frames with the mouse.
    1
  5021. The stream did not go as expected. :D
    1
  5022. Good stuff, neil. Let me know when dwmx gets sorted out. Would love to take a look at it. ;)
    1
  5023. Time flies when you're having fun! :D
    1
  5024. For a GUI browser....something like Min or Midori is a lighter option. Of course, you could always use terminal-based browsers such as Lynx or Links or eLinks assuming you don't need to view multimedia.
    1
  5025. Support for 19.04 runs out in 9 months. 20.04 will be releases in 12 months. So the best path is to upgrade 19.04 to 19.10 in October and then to the 20.04 LTS next April. Of course, if you have backups, a fresh install is about 10 minutes. So that's always an option too.
    1
  5026. We'll test it out. If not, I can always live stream from home. I don't do streams that often.
    1
  5027. Thanks, Chris. It takes someone that is based and woke himself to recognize this! ;)
    1
  5028. This started life as Manjaro's i3 edition. Now, other than i3, I have qtile, dwm, xmonad, and herbstluftwm all installed.
    1
  5029. Already did that one. About two weeks ago I think.
    1
  5030. I used three different browsers in this video: surf, lynx and firefox.
    1
  5031. My GitLab. Check the show notes.
    1
  5032. Wouldn't be that interesting to be honest. Linux Mint vs Ubuntu? Take your pick. Both are fine distros.
    1
  5033. Was seeing if snap was alreasy installed. Sudo snap install program is the command line way of installing snaps.
    1
  5034. Appreciate that!
    1
  5035. Thanks, Karl. I must say that I do find Slackware kind of appealing in a "retro" sort of way.
    1
  5036. I was watching it in 1080p about 2 minutes after upload. Might try refreshing the page.
    1
  5037. I will drop in for a little bit.
    1
  5038. :D
    1
  5039. Good to hear AntiX rescued your old machine. I have a few really old computers in a closet (10+ years) that I've been meaning to get back up and running. AntiX might serve in this role.

  5040. Thanks, Singha!

  5043. He used to have the DT logo but probably removed it so is Twitter asks, he can claim "I'm not pretending to be DT, I don't use his artwork!"
    1
  5044. Yea, that video is great. Chick is in college...doesn't know what kinda laptop she bought. Apparently, she also couldn't Google "Ubuntu" to figure out how to use it. And I guess she couldn't figure out how to install Windows either. lol
    1
  5045. Calaculate will have some prebuilt binaries but (like Redcore which I think is the distro you were thinking of) you will have to pull some things from Gentoo repos. This means using emerge and compiling.
    1
  5046. Don't have that install of Lubuntu any longer and I don't know anything about ZyXEL dongles. Sorry. You should post this question to askubuntu.com. You will probably get a quick response there.
    1
  5047. Paul Cyr Thanks, Paul.
    1
  5048. Serge Yea the flickering is in obs. Never been an issue until now (on this Arch install). Need play around with the settings to see what the problem is.
    1
  5049. Thanks, tubela. I already had disabled flipping in NVIDIA. Maybe I need to switch the format from YU12 to YV12 in OBS? I'll keep playing with the settings.

  5050. I'm not an app developer but Qt is the newer, more modern toolkit. Most people will tell you Qt is the way to go.

  5056. If I hate Plasma, then I must absolutely abhor GNOME. :D
    1
  5057. No, but I did buy the Zorin premium version and installed it in a VM to review on the channel. Still have that VM.
    1
  5058. I like Kaos when I reviewed it.

  5059. Thanks, Steve!

  5060. I logged into qtile for this video. The bar is the builtin bar in qtile. You can find my configs on my GitLab page.
    1
  5061. Sounds like you plan on creating your own distro someday. Maybe someday I will review Elstan OS. :D
    1
  5062. Htop is the lifeblood of Linux. Really we should rename it....Htop/Linux.
    1
  5063. Mastodon is decentralized with each instance of Mastodon making it's own rules. So if you don't like one server, move to another with different rules...or you can start your own.

  5064. Great to hear!
    1
  5065. Much appreciated.

  5066. According to the website: "Cam Link cannot receive any HDMI signal that has HDCP protection." So that's a bummer.

  5067. Much appreciated!

  5068. Thanks, Joe. Take care.

  5069. The monitor off camera? Typically, that monitor is dedicated to OBS (used to record my videos), a file manager (to make sure when I hit record in OBS, that it is actually recording), and a terminal. The middle monitor is the one I typically record the screen when I do my tutorial type videos. The far right monitor usually has a web browser on it.

  5077. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  5078. Yea, sh points to the default shell...usually bash on most distros (dash on Ubuntu).
    1
  5079. It was released. Nothing postponed.
    1
  5080. It has a tabbed layout. And there are ways to combine layouts, such as combining the master and stack with tabbed.
    1
  5081. It will only work on Arch-based systems. My software repo is Arch packages.
    1
  5082. I did show a little bit of urxvt customization in this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmZBj1z0vDY&t=8s Beyond that you could just grab my config files from GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles
    1
  5083. I'm not a KDE user but a quick search brought me to: https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/398/
    1
  5084. Technically speaking, Bash isn't really POSIX compliant. Yet, it's usually the default shell on most Linux systems. POSIX aims to create one standard which we all know never works. Not in the Linux community anyway.
    1
  5085. No arguments from me! :D
    1
  5086. Adding it to my list. :D
    1
  5087. Thanks, Kevin. I noticed that too. Both urxvt and xterm were installed so it's most likely one of those.
    1
  5088. Not sure which line is the background color but here is my lynx.lss: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.lynx.lss

  5089. No! I figured this out in late 2018. Just didn't make a video until now.
    1
  5090. Interesting take on the matter, Rob. I hadn't considered that.
    1
  5091. Thank you, sir.
    1
  5092. Doesn't matter much to the end user. Vim...neovim...use whatever.
    1
  5093. ^^ Truth
    1
  5094. Oh, I suspect this will be much harder than learning vim.
    1
  5095. :D
    1
  5096. :D
    1
  5097. You can find it on my Teespring store. Link in the description.
    1
  5098. Number one doesn't mean anything. That's the point.
    1
  5099. Thanks, akwalek.
    1
  5100. Yes. On these non-LTS releases, you need to upgrade to the next release when it comes out (or shortly after). So if you install 18.10, you're upgrade path is to upgrade to 19.04 in 6-9 months.
    1
  5101. I too may give Fedora 28 a whirl on physical hardware when it's released. I need to spend more time on the rpm distros. As far as LXQt, I think it's on the right path. LXDE was never going to move to GTK3 and (soon) GTK4, etc. It needed to move to Qt anyway, so the merger with Razor-Qt and the creation of LXQt made sense. It's still not as stable as I would like it, but it's getting pretty close. I would have no problems running as it is now on my machines.
    1
  5102. lol

  5103. Thanks, Old Smacker.

  5125. I have three laptops that I test distros on. I don't necessarily need anymore. But I do agree, definitely don't trash them. Put Linux on them and find someone in need. :D

  5130. :D

  5131. All that turkey and ham must be slowing MrGFY down today. :D
    1
  5132. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5133. Of course. Typing "exit" works too, of course. But the point here was how to close ANY window type with the "kill" keybinding...not just how to get out of the terminal.
    1
  5134. :D I seriously should order a fake beard for future videos such as this.
    1
  5135. Yea, I see the problem. In one of my xmobarrc, the font is set to SauceCodePro Nerd Font. Change that to Mononoki Nerd Font.
    1
  5136. I don't use Zoom other than live streaming the monthly Patrons chat. So why switch?
    1
  5137.  @SimGunther  I'm more concerned about audio/video quality. Again, I use these things to record on live streams, not to chat privately with family.
    1
  5138. Thanks!
    1
  5139. Appreciate that, Karl. Take care, brother.
    1
  5140. Looks like it will be a nice release.
    1
  5141. I'll be on the lookout for the update.
    1
  5142. Thanks! :D
    1
  5143. On my main machine, this WAS the Manjaro KDE edition but I uninstalled KDE and all its dependencies and installed Openbox instead. I don't recommend going this route though. I'd probably install the LXDE Manjaro install since it already will have Openbox on it and alot of the utilities you would probably use in an Openbox session.
    1
  5144. Early confirmed!
    1
  5145. Awesome!
    1
  5146. It's awesome! That is what it is!

  5150. Glad to help!

  5151. Yea, I made this video months ago. But trying to compile termonad at the moment seems to not work. Maybe you should open an issue on their GitHub to let them know.

  5154. Thanks, Delis007!

  5155. This is something I've wrestled with in the past. Patreon makes things so much easier on content creators because Patreon handles all the bookkeeping, new subscribers, subscribers leaving, who donated what amount, if a subscriber paid this month or their card declined, etc. Paypal doesn't do any of that. So I essentially have to keep track of this myself. If it's a subscription via Paypal, that's easy because I will get an email each month upon payment. If it's just a one time payment, then it becomes a bit more of a headache for me to keep track of them. In fact, for large operations (I'm just small potatoes) it can be a full time job just keeping track of such payments. Lately...more of you guys are using Paypal. So I have been adding the names of recent Paypal donors to the closing credits. Certainly, anyone doing a subscription is listed.
    1
  5156. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate that, sir.
    1
  5157. Thanks, Felix.
    1
  5158. Vamsi Thank you.
    1
  5159. Still a bit rough but already much improved from the last version I looked at.
    1
  5160. Nice!
    1
  5161. Thanks, David.
    1
  5162. Open up pavucontrol and check your levels. ;)
    1
  5163. Well, they have a community edition that uses LXDE. The LXDE desktop uses Openbox so you will have an Openbox session available to you in the login manager. Of course, this Openbox session will not be configured--you will have to do that. But most of the LXDE programs work fine in Openbox and are probably things you would install anyway (pcmanfm, lxappearance, lxterminal, leafpad, etc.)
    1
  5164. Yea, I might look at it. Seems really neat. I can play with its ability to use ssh and sftp. I don't use samba. Haven't had a Windows machine in so long, so I've never needed to setup a samba share. The image manipulation stuff sounded really neat too.
    1
  5165. You can email me at derek @ distrotube.com.
    1
  5166. Very cool. Thanks.
    1
  5167. I just use lightdm.
    1
  5168. That's a future video.
    1
  5169. It's not an accurate reading for my cpu model. No worries.
    1
  5170. Thanks, Serge. Will definitely refer back to this post when I decide to go further with this VM. Take care.
    1
  5171. Thank you, sir.
    1
  5172. That was geany.
    1
  5173. As mentioned, the window manager is bspwm. Not sure about the theme. These are all terminal programs in the screenshot so the GTK theme doesn't come into play here. It's mostly the terminal's color scheme (or the Xresources file) that controls this.
    1
  5174. There is no point in my trying to get the devs of the various WMs to settle on standard bindings. I can tell you with absolute certainty that the i3 devs, for example, will never default to hjkl like the rest of the civilized world. Even though most i3 users switch the default (which is jkl;) over to hjkl, the devs have stated they won't change it. All I can do is make sure that my configs are consistent. ;)
    1
  5175. Hell yea!
    1
  5176. Well, the "Linux" that DistroWatch is talking about and most of us are talking about when we say "Linux" is GNU/Linux. Android doesn't count. ChromeOS (which is Gentoo-based, btw) on the other hand....
    1
  5177. Afraid not. And that's unfortunate because I feel like 4GB of RAM is probably going to be the real bottleneck preventing me from doing some tasks on this machine.
    1
  5178. Congrats on the switch, David! Hope it works out.
    1
  5179. I even have nano video somewhere in my back catalog. :D

  5180. Wayland isn't usable so there is no need for me to check out Sway.

  5183. ReactOS? I'd rather just live in Windows.
    1
  5184. ReactOS is like alpha-level software. It's not ready for prime time.
    1
  5185. Thanks, Sakis.
    1
  5186. Been using it for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I like it. Will I stick with it long term? Uh, maybe. Who knows. But I do love the workflow of this thing.
    1
  5187. Install a program called nitrogen. Set the wallpaper with that program. Then, if you have an autostart section in your qtile config, make sure to have "nitrogen --restore" in it. This will have nitrogen set the wallpaper every time qtile is started.

    1
  5194. Thanks. I really like it too!

  5195. Yea, I use the real Dracula in emacs. But my terminal colorcheme is something else.

  5196. YT has shortcut keys? Why am I just hearing about this?

  5201. It's useable as it is. Of course, it's not customized to your liking (it's someone else's config) but it's certainly good enough for a live USB.

  5208. I ran KDE for a month and then ran back screaming to Openbox.

  5210. Look for my st config. The color scheme I think was based on Dracula.
    1
  5211. Thanks, James.

  5212. I'm aware. The installer is a bit weird in that it when you enter a sub-menu and escape out it always automatically moves you to the next entry. Which is not the expected behavior. I caught myself almost skipping several steps on this video because of that. In the end, I missed the network setup because of this behavior. But I wasn't going back and re-recording this video because of such a minor thing. These videos take way to long too record/edit. Besides, the 'archinstall' devs should probably know about this since I'm probably not the only one skipping installation steps accidentally.
    1
  5213. Depends on what window manager module you are using in my config. Look in that module and you should see the fonts I use with that window manager.
    1
  5214. Also, depending on how you installed those fonts, you may need to run fc-cache. ( sudo fc-cache -f -v )

  5215. Hi, Josh. Are you using a Blue Yeti for your mic? I have one myself and made alot of my early videos on it. That mic is very sensitive. I found that the only way to get rid of the noise was to turn the gain down all the way on the mic. I also used some filtering in OBS as well to clean up the noise with the Yeti as well. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCAANDp2fsE around the 30:00 mark where I discuss the audio filters. I'm not using the Yeti in this video but I think those were the same settings I did use for the Yeti. Hope it helps.

  5216. Would explain a few things.

  5222. Need at least one partition yes. You might want to create a swap too.
    1
  5223. Great point!
    1
  5224. Virtualbox.
    1
  5225. What was wrong with the old one? :D
    1
  5226. Thanks, Philip.
    1
  5227. It's working correctly for me now too. I think it's a glitch when I'm recording...running guvcview or maybe simple screen recorder. I mentioned in my initial video that I had some problems with the KDE panel when I run guvcview. This may be another example of that.
    1
  5228. I was using zsh in this video. ;)

  5229. The ErgoDox EZ. Made a video about it a couple weeks ago.

  5232. Arch recently removed nano from the base install. So you must install it yourself: pacman -S nano.

  5237. My pleasure!
    1
  5238. Yea, it kinda sucks.
    1
  5239. Shortly after I made this video, the Arch guys changed the installation process. Read the pinned comment for this video. I would bet that you need to install the linux kernel.
    1
  5240. Great to hear!
    1
  5241. Thank you, Mark.
    1
  5242. I know it is!
    1
  5243. Whether I can appeal or not, it's good in a way. I really want to look at some of the alternatives out there.
    1
  5244. Cool. BTW, I will be releasing another Slackware video tomorrow that I recorded today (w/Serge).
    1
  5245. Been using urxvt for some time. Although I have used termite and xterm in past too.
    1
  5246. Thanks, Bruno. Appreciate that.
    1
  5247. Go away, Devil!
    1
  5248. Oh, Openbox is definitely being installed right away. And probably Qtile as well. I'll keep the fluxbox, icewm, herbstluft, etc. sessions on there too. After all, I need to cover icewm and herbstluft in the obscure window manager series anyway.
    1
  5249. Will cover it all on camera. But if your new DE/WM does not appear in your session list (most will out of the box), you need to go to your xsessions directory and create a .desktop file for that DE/WM.
    1
  5250. Great to hear! Good luck!
    1
  5251. All capital letters become lowercase letters...so TEST will be renamed to test.

  5253. Good evening, sir.

  5254. Just trying to make it to the New Year!
    1
  5255. I used it for a bit. Lived in it, did all my work in it. Still have it on one of drives, with Plasma. Went back to Manjaro i3 when I switched to i3.
    1
  5256. Using Pulse on Manjaro. Jack installs fine and works but some of the apps I'd like to use with Jack (such as Cadence) don't work that well. But Pulse is OK on Manjaro. NVENC works fine on Manjaro (and all other Arch-based distros).

  5258. Well this was beta software...or alpha actually.
    1
  5259. Who is this "they" you speak of? Mastodon isn't one organization. And a community that values discourse won't get listed? Not even sure what that means. Listed where? You mean getting federated with other instances? Who cares. They get to play by their rules and you get to play by yours. You create your own Mastodon server with your own rules. Why are you worrying about what other Mastodon instances federate with you?

  5261. Haven't used Windows in ten years. This this video was recorded with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). I edited the audio in Audacity. I rendered the video with Kdenlive. All three are free and open source and available in everyone's repos (or available in Windows if you must use Windows). Take care, Tom.

  5266. Will check it out at some point. So many videos, so little time. :D
    1
  5267. Seeing who is paying attention. ;) Deleted that portion of the lower third. Now Facebook has been completely deleted from my life. Hopefully.
    1
  5268. Eventually

  5269. GitLab has tools to help you make the move from GitHub. Might be something you want to check out.
    1
  5270. Yea, if you don't add sudo to the chsh command, it will prompt the user for a password anyway. By using sudo, we have the chance that we won't have to enter a password since we've recently used sudo in other parts of the script.
    1
  5271. Plasma is getting better. Seemed lighter too.

  5281. Thanks, Henk.
    1
  5282. Happened when I booted into the VM. This video was some weeks back, but I would guess that I didn't set the audio driver for the VM to "NULL". By default Virtualbox sets the VM's audio driver to Pulse which can cause some strange things when recording on my 2i2 interface with the Blue Baby Bottle mic through OBS (also using Pulse).
    1
  5283. Thanks for the tips, Rob!

  5295. Many comments get caught up in YouTube's spam algorithms. I don't see a comment from you in "Held for review". YouTube might have just deleted it entirely. Not much I or anyone else can do about this. It's just YouTube being YouTube.
    1
  5296. What's up?
    1
  5297. Great to hear that you tried qtile. Hope it works out for you, Rico.
    1
  5298. Yes, sir. Using a wireless logitech.
    1
  5299. As Singha mentioned, remove after the reboot. Some distros will throw up a message during the reboot process telling you when you should remove the drive.
    1
  5300. Yea, Archbang is a good way to install Arch if you are looking for a quicker solution. Also, since there is so little software installed by default, it makes a good base to build on. Even if you want something like GNOME or KDE, you can just open up pacman and install whatever desktop you want.
    1
  5301. It works as long as ctrl-l doesn't conflict with other keybindings you may be using for your terminal, window manager, etc. Which is the case for me if I'm using the bash shell and using vi mode in that shell. Clear always works. ;)
    1
  5302. Thank you, sir. Got your ISO downloaded. Will install it probably tomorrow night. I'll report back once I have had time to play with it a bit.
    1
  5303. I was with you until you said GNOME. :D
    1
  5304. That's good to know. I might have to try it out then.
    1
  5305. I sometimes still run Emacs. I run it enough that I still like to have that daemon running.
    1
  5306. It has a bit of that tablet look about it.

  5307. "sudo" stands for "super user do". Hence....SUE-due.

  5316. Are you talking about zooming in/out? I remember trying alacritty early on in it's history and had some weird font problems. Haven't noticed any bugs with this version...yet.
    1
  5317. Ah, no fooling with Xresources now. And zooming is set to CRTL +/- in the default config, though you could change it.
    1
  5318. Pretty nice book. Concise and to the point. Easy for a quick reference.
    1
  5319. Gotta take care yourself first.
    1
  5320. While dpkg is fine for installing .deb's, you may want to install gdebi. It is a small, graphical program that installs those deb files. You download a deb in the browser and when the browser asks you what program to open it in, just choose gdebi. No need to type some long command in the terminal or cd to the download directory, etc.
    1
  5321. dhcp may no longer be installed by default. Check the pinned comment.

    1
  5328. Merry Christmas, Johan.
    1
  5329. Yep. But don't get too excited. The repos still wouldn't sync, so even with the correct command...it's a no-go. :(
    1
  5330. You don't need Arch to use moc or mocicon. It should work the same on any Linux distro.
    1
  5331. No problem 👍
    1
  5332. This was a VM of Ubuntu. Pretty sure it's bash by default.
    1

  5347. For USB writing, in Debian-based distros alot of people like to use unetbootin. Unetbootin works great on those distros (note: doesn't work writing Arch-based distros). My favorite USB writer at the moment is Etcher ( https://etcher.io/ ). Not sure if it will be in the repos but there is a .deb and there is an appimage.
    1
  5348. Nice. You performing in a Christmas cantata?
    1
  5349. I, too, have this on a USB. Thinking about putting it on my Thinkpad that's been on Mint 19 for a couple of months.
    1
  5350. Thank you, sir.

  5351. Should be fun! Or it might be the most painful experience of my life. We'll see.

  5353. They are just different user interfaces. So they have different menus, panels, launchers, etc.
    1
  5354. I didn't just pull that repo comment out of my butt. I've installed Solus many times on my main machine and on my laptops in the last couple of years. I've run it for months at a time. And it's missing dozens of programs that I typically install including many of the window managers that I use, terminal programs, command line apps, etc. That's great that you like Solus. I do too, hence why I install it often on my machines. But it has the smallest repository of software of any mainstream distro that I've ever used.
    1
  5355. Thanks, Hardik!
    1
  5356. Thanks, Josh. Much appreciated.
    1
  5357. Go to my GitLab and look for shell-color-scripts.
    1
  5358. Usually, the only lack of functionality in running an OS in a virtual machine is performance. Obviously, you are only giving the virtual machine part of your computer's CPU/MEM to use. So some things (like gaming, video rendering, etc) are not going to be feasible in a virtual machine. I don't use GNOME so I've never tried their Boxes program.

  5362. No. The only distro that is built around Pantheon is Elementary. You can install Pantheon on some other distros, but no one builds their distro around Pantheon except the Elementary project.
    1
  5363. Yes, you can install Pantheon on any distro. But the only distro that uses it as their flagship desktop is Elementary (the creators of Pantheon).
    1
  5364. Thanks, Paul!
    1
  5365. Haha. As I was clicking on the download link, I was thinking to myself....someone's going to comment about this. :D
    1
  5366. Doesn't look like it would be worth reviewing, to be honest. Just looking at the SourceForge page, it doesn't appear anyone is really interested in that distro. Very low download numbers, there's never been any discussion or any open tickets, no wiki entries. The ISO was released 10 months ago but I can't find a single mention of this distro on the web. But I might review Sparky. ;)
    1
  5367. Sugar Free ? You gotta live a little, Karl! :D
    1
  5368. Congrats!

  5369. Cool. I thought about doing a python script for the bar instead of a bash script, but I was afraid the suckless fans would blast me for having python on my system (BLOAT!). :D
    1
  5370. I have not tried that one. Hadn't heard of it before. There are so many Arch-based distros out there right now. Hard to keep track of them all. But I will take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion.
    1
  5371. Sounds nice. Love all three DE/WMs. And typically, I install one full DE on my system (Unity is on my Ubuntu 16.04 install), then I also install Openbox (my preferred lightweight window manager I spend the most time), and then I usually also install a tiling window manager (usually Xmonad or Qtile) for playing around in when I feel like living in a tiler. So this could be a nice fit for me.
    1
  5372. Thanks, Anzan!
    1
  5373. Actually, Serge, I just made a video about a week ago that it was time for me to distrohop on my main machine again. Manjaro was nice to live in for about three months (no issues) but I want to try out something else. Calculate may be what I try. Not sure what I will go with. Probably will install a new distro within the next couple of weeks. Take care, Serge.
    1
  5374. Well, the good thing about distrohopping is that, in a couple of months, I'll be moving on to something else. I'll do Antix and Solus now. Then, maybe I throw Fedora on the desktop and SUSE on the laptop in a couple months. Didn't want to install Fedora 27 on anything right now since Fedora 28 is right around the corner.
    1

  5382. Hannah Montana is a dead distro. So DW might just ignore all page hits to Hannah's page. But Arch...they can't really do that to Arch.
    1
  5383. You'll need the proprietary drivers to do things like video rendering/streaming, blender...and, of course, gaming.

  5387. The "windows" key. This kind of references back to early keyboards that had an actual key labelled "super" on it...where the "windows" key is now on most keyboards. We typically just call it the "super" key in Linux.

  5388. I haven't logged into stumpwm in awhile. I may get back into it at some point. Was too damn frustrating to deal with right now.

  5406. Telemetry about my hardware. The screen even tells you what they collect and links to the last report they released using this information. They want to know the CPU, GPU, RAM, my screen resolution, etc. Literally everything that anyone that watches my videos already knows about my equipment (thanks to neofetch). They are not viewing your files or anything like that. Canonical ain't Microsoft!
    1
  5407. The package manager should warn you if the program you are uninstalling is a dependency of another program. For example, since MX is a Debian-based distro...open a terminal and "sudo apt remove name-of-program" will uninstall a program. But if uninstalling it breaks something else, it will warn you. Also, "apt-cache showpkg name-of-program" will list dependencies. Generally, you don't have to worry though. If you have several text editors installed, remove the ones you don't use. I highly doubt the text editors themselves are dependencies of anything else. It's usually lower-level stuff like libraries that are dependencies of other programs.
    1
  5408. Had Arco bspwm on one of my laptops for a bit, to play around with it. Looked like a neat window manager. I certainly plan on diving into bspwm a bit deeper at some point.

  5411. In modern times, Microsoft calls it the "Windows" key. Back in the day, there used to be a SUPER key in the general vicinity of where you have a "Windows" key now. Linux users typically refer to that key as SUPER....for obvious reasons.
    1
  5412. It sure is!
    1
  5413. You don't need a floating window manager for this. Every tiling window manager has a fullscreen mode. Some also have stacking modes and tabbed modes. So that useless terminal window gets shoved out of the way in those modes.
    1
  5414. Vi is there, of course, but Vim isn't installed by default on Ubuntu, at least not the main flavor of Ubuntu.

  5415. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. Take care, my friend.

  5422. I wouldn't have used "specially" myself but it was part of the article title I was discussing, so I kept it "as is."
    1
  5423. Good catch on that. I would think that could be a security issue.
    1
  5424. Well, I've been around the block a few times so things like "no internet" don't get me rattled that much. I just start looking around and trying things until something works.
    1
  5425. Yep, caught that on the replay. Thanks, Spudley.
    1
  5426. Good man! :D
    1
  5427. Thanks, Bill. I have been thinking about reviewing Mabox in the future.

  5428. Do a search for 'openbox' on this channel. I've made many videos on this early in the channel's history.
    1
  5429. Thanks, Randy.
    1
  5430. Just might do that. Thanks, Serge.
    1
  5431. Thanks, Robert!
    1
  5432. Yep...I screwed that up (DigiKam is KDE's photo manager). But like so many of my mistakes...it will live forever in the video. :D FULL DISCLOSURE: I was on my second glass of a rather nice Chardonnay when I recorded this.
    1
  5433. I actually do drink Viognier occasionally. Not a common varietal in the States. But there are few California wineries that do Viognier.

  5456. Yes, you can run 2 different DEs/WMs. Performance regressions? Probably. But xephyr is mainly used for debugging. Setting up a proper VM would be the better way to go if you are worried about performance.
    1
  5457. I don't have a 4K monitor. You will have to dig through the documentation or ask for support on that one yourself.

  5458. Yea, on my main machine (Arco) I had an uncompressed rc as well. Not sure why it's compressed on Ubuntu.

  5463. If I had known it was going to create 4 partitions (and I should have known this having installed Calculate a couple of times before), I would have created my own partition(s). On the other hand, had I done that, I wouldn't have gotten to see what Calculate wants to do with the partitions by default. I actually like the partition scheme...just not on a VM with limited space. :D
    1
  5464. Thanks, Neckyrul.
    1
  5465. Glad it helped!
    1
  5466. I'm on an Arch-based distro so I installed these from the AUR. Not on an Arch-based distro? You have to build them yourself. Looking at the Twitch Curses gitlab page though....it's one file. Just gotta figure out what dependencies that one python script needs.

  5483. Calling non-free software "proprietary garbage" isn't in conflict with "use what works". Many people have to use Windows due to work or school. Doesn't make Windows any less "proprietary garbage" just because it has its uses. Hell, I use non-free drivers on all my machines.
    1
  5484. Will check into that the next time I try out Awesome. Thanks, Brian.

  5487. My experience with KDE wan't good but many love it Doesn't make my view of KDE right or others wrong about it. Hardware is something to be considered. Some people get a great experience out of the box. Others, like me, have to fight with it a bit to make it work.

  5495. Yea, that was the wrong command. :D
    1
  5496. Yep.
    1
  5497. I don't think so. But you could open an issue on the BadWolf GitLab and see if the dev is considering this in the future.

  5502. I actually have been considering taking a look at Salent. Debian with Openbox is, as you say, right up my alley. Top distros that come with a nice Openbox session out of the box. In no particular order--Archlabs, Archbang, Archmerge were all nice (if Arch is your thing). Crunchbangplusplus was really nice if a Debian stable distro is your thing. BunsenLabs was another good Debian based distro but it needs an update badly (still based on Debian Jessie). For newbies...definitely go with the Debian-based distros. I've played around in Archbang for years and it does have breakages (it's Arch after all). I've only know about Archlabs for a couple of months (since my review) but I have used it in Virtualbox since that video. It has had some breakages too. You always run the risk of something breaking with an update. With rolling release distros...there are alot more updates...so alot more chances for something to go wrong. Regardless of distro though, always keep good backups. :D
    1
  5503. Glad to help!
    1
  5504. Install a program named 'screenkey'. It should be in every Linux distro's repos.
    1
  5505. Thanks, Colin! :D
    1
  5506. Thanks, Marlon!
    1
  5507. I really liked Crunchbangplusplus when I reviewed it. Nice choice!
    1
  5508. Haha, yea Calculate doesn't put alot of effort in theming. Very basic options. It was the same in their KDE and XFCE editions too.
    1
  5509. Not sure if he has a public link yet but his most recent video mentions the ncurses script: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQq29woRanw Maybe you could ask him for it. He is also on Mastondon: https://mastodon.social/@tripcodeq7

  5510. At the time, I was using Manjaro with the qtile window manager.
    1
  5511. That's the plan.

  5512. Vrakfall I think the author was sticking to realistic alternatives to Windows for the masses.
    1
  5513. Thanks, Moh! Appreciate the feedback.
    1
  5514. Sounds interesting. Might have to check that out!
    1
  5515. Good catch on the #!/bin/sh. I didn't need to add the .sh extension to that file. Should just name it "autostart" and not "autostart.sh". My mistake.
    1
  5516. Refresh the page. When you try to view these videos right after they are published, Youtube isn't finished processing them fully yet. Wait a few minutes, refresh...and you should see 1080p as an option.
    1
  5517. Fair enough, Stacey. Use what works for you. That's my motto. My comments had nothing to do with the quality of Mint as distro. Just a commentary on the duplication of work shared among alot distros.
    1
  5518. So many Arch-based distros....using Openbox. I can't keep up with them all.
    1
  5519. Void is interesting as a project. Hope it continues.

  5525. In your autostart.sh, have a wallpaper program run and set your wallpaper. I use nitrogen: nitrogen --restore
    1
  5526. Thanks Elstan. I really liked RedCore. I will definitely keep track of its development.
    1
  5527. The computer I'm recording these videos on runs the Ubuntu LTS (16.04) running the Openbox window manager. My wallpaper can be found here: http://www.wallpaperup.com/31701/Multi_Monitor_Dual_Screen_cg_digital_art_sky_clouds_dream.html . This is a dual monitor wallpaper. I am using a three-monitor setup on my desktop (in these recordings, I'm just recording the middle/second monitor).

  5529. Not exclusively. But I don't avoid it. Most of the time, it's quite convenient just to type a couple of words at a command prompt rather than fooling with graphical programs.
    1
  5530. Thanks, tubelaras. Yep, the spaces were the problem with the groups.
    1
  5531. Thanks, Mr. Whole.
    1
  5532. Yea, the install process for most Linux distros (Peppermint included) is so easy...and lightyears faster than doing an install of Windows. Add the fact that Windows is an inherently insecure operating system, I can understand why you wouldn't miss it. :D
    1
  5533. Glad you like them!

  5538. Arco is great. Erik Dubois is a genius.
    1
  5539. It would seem so.
    1
  5540. Not really. ;)
    1
  5541. No. Using a DSLR camera as a webcam requires some sort of capture device. I'm using the Elgato Cam Link which plugs into a USB 3 port and then the HDMI cable from the camera plugs into the Cam Link. Then OBS sees my camera. Also, you have to be sure to buy a camera with "clean" HDMI output...meaning that the signal that is captured does not include date, time, hash marks, battery levels and all the other crap that is usually captured in the output from cameras. For the Lumix, you see all that stuff on the cameras LCD screen but when your computer captures the signal, it is a clean picture.
    1
  5542. Yes. The Cam Link will capture any HDMI signal. So, for example, I can plug the Cam Link (into a USB 3 port) into my main production machine. I can connect a HDMI cable from another machine (my laptop for example, or my Pi) to the Cam Link. It will capture what should be the display from that machine. I can feed the captured signal into OBS as a scene.
    1
  5543. Thanks, Keith.
    1
  5544. I have done some minimal Debian installs in the past where I put Openbox on that. I've done similar things with Ubuntu using their server edition. If I were to go down that route, probably what would make sense is wait for the next Ubuntu LTS in a few weeks and use the server edition for a base.
    1
  5545. I've had a few people ask for something like this. Might be something I do in the future.
    1
  5546. Way to go, Ken. I guarantee that everyone that heard you...the guys wanted to be you, and the chicks wanted to be with you!

  5547. The SLASH key is the other Ctrl key...so.......hold SLASH and tap z. ;)

  5551. Was using Lubuntu 18.04 beta on this video. Was running Calculate the week before. AntiX the week before that. And Manjaro last month. :D
    1
  5552. I thought about that too. I may just take some time and wipe out all of KDE on this machine...other than Kdenlive and maybe a couple of other exceptions.

    1
  5561. Fair point. Are you worried about the host OS or the VMs (or both)?
    1
  5562. >And no, they do not have access to the internet Was wondering about that. Thanks for clarifying. Now, I'm not a sys admin so forgive me if this is a dumb question . But if the host and VMs are not connected to the Internet, how would an attacker penetrate such a system (assuming they don't have physical access to the machine, of course)?
    1
  5563. If you want a logout menu program, try out oblogout: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Oblogout Arco might already have oblogout (or something similar) installed. Then put an icon on your qtile panel and have the mouse callback execute oblogout.
    1

  5573. Will definitely do some Slackware on the channel. Been thinking about looking at CloverOS at some point too. Thanks, Serge.
    1
  5574. I haven't looked into that, SWGOH, but I would be surprised if you couldn't make it tile or stack or tabbed by default. Again, I installed i3 like 5 or 6 days ago.

  5582. Look up all the keybindings in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs By default, SUPER+p followed by 'b' (for backgrounds) will open a dmenu script that allows you to set a background. It will open up sxiv (image viewer) showing all of the dtos wallpapers. Hit 'm' on an image to mark it. Then close sxiv and your wallpaper will change.

  5583. No need for such histrionics here, Jonathan. Pointless arguments bore me. Instead I just report what the man himself says. “I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely" -- Linus Torvalds

  5587. Thanks, rmcellig.
    1
  5588. Thanks, Rob. Yea, I figured since I needed to edit the initial video that I posted to patrons (due to some errors), if I was going to take the time to edit/render that video again in kdenlive, well....I'd just re-record it. Thankfully, just "opening up a text document and blindly typing whatever vim commands pop into my head" is a pretty easy video to make. :D
    1
  5589. Looking around the web, it seems alot of people are experiencing some issues with Plasma 5.

  5591. It's on my "to do" list. Thanks.
    1
  5592. Once I get through these initial twelve WMs that I've committed to looking at. Then I will probably look at bspwm and dwm at some point in the future since I've had a few requests for them.
    1
  5593. Makes sense. Never liked the name Linux Lite. It makes the distro sound like cheap beer.
    1
  5594. seewardone Thanks!
    1
  5595. Reminds me of the Pepto Bismol song...."Nausea, upset stomach, diaspora..."
    1
  5596. It's got the most users. Probably 100 to 1 to some small distro like Mint. Let's be real here. Why would you even assume a small mom-and-pop distro like Mint is as popular as Ubuntu? I'm curious.
    1
  5597. That's not an answer to my question. Probably because you don't have one. But if you are going to make a statement like Mint is more popular than Ubuntu, you have to have something to back it up. For example, I said Ubuntu is the most popular distro by far....it's not close. I should have something to back that up. So how about Google trends to see what people search for: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=ubuntu,linux%20mint,elementary%20os,mx%20linux,manjaro
    1
  5598. The Google Trends results are the number of times people actually searched for "name of distro." They are as good of a metric as you can get at the moment. The Distrowatch page hit rankings are something completely different. While the Google SERPs are the primary source of hits to Distrowatch pages, very large a popular websites (like ubuntu.com) are punished by the Distrowatch method of ranking. Ubuntu.com is a very well-respected site in Google's eyes. So are all the other Ubuntu-related web properties. So those sites rank very highly in Google SERPs. Distrowatch's Ubuntu page is not a very well-respected page (for the term "Ubuntu" in Google) and it simply can't compete with those more authoritative "ubuntu" pages in Google SERPs. So the Distrowatch Ubuntu page doesn't rank well and doesn't receive much traffic. It's just basic SEO.
    1
  5599. Lawrence. Mindshare = market share. And Ubuntu "being popular" does equate to it "being popular." That's why it's the most popular distro. How could you argue otherwise? You want to have an argument for argument's sake. I don't do that. I don't have the time. You want to believe that a "garage distro" like Mint has more installs than Ubuntu...go ahead. Live in your own fantasy world. I'm going to live in reality. Peace@!

  5615. It is time for me to hop on my other laptop. I'm certain Slackware or Gentoo would work just fine for me. One of the BSDs? Now that's something worth trying. Might give TrueOS another look. I was rather harsh in my previous video about it, but that was almost a year ago now. Maybe things have gotten better.
    1
  5616. Still figuring out how to work this camera. So many darn settings/functions. :D

  5622. Arch changed the installation process right after I posted this video. Read the pinned comment. They no longer include a bunch of stuff in the pacstrap command (including linux, nano, vim, manpages, etc). Did you install the kernel? #pacman -S linux

  5624. I just like buying new stuff.
    1
  5625. Karl, I would agree with the assessment that GNOME has gotten too heavy. We don't need to become Windows!
    1
  5626. Thanks, musouka81. :D
    1
  5627. I needed the whole six-pack!
    1
  5628. You can create aliases. You could create scripts to use with dmenu or rofi...or openbox pipemenus.
    1
  5629. How old is this computer? What kind of CPU? RAM? I ask because Deepin requires a higher end machine. If you have older machine, check out MX or Peppermint.
    1
  5630. Deepin should run fine on that, if you want to give it a try.
    1
  5631. You make a good point about the long release cycle hurting distros as far as news releases and getting alot of press. I mentioned that I thought Arch and Gentoo were probably under-represented on DW. The fact that are rolling releases probably has something to do with this.
    1
  5632. htim replaces htop. Meaning when you run htop, you are now really running htim.
    1
  5633. Oh fun! :D
    1
  5634. Will look into PeerTube. Thanks, Serge.
    1
  5635. I still need to look at OpenBSD sometime. But it sounds like it might be a bit of a hassle to setup.
    1
  5636. Because....I'm looking at my monitor. :D This isn't a "sit in front of the camera and talk" channel. I'm usually doing stuff on my computer.
    1
  5637. One of my favorites.
    1
  5638. Thanks, Alter Egon. Hope this video helps.
    1
  5639. AmigaGod Thanks a lot.
    1
  5640. You are welcome, sir.

  5642. Any snaps that use "classic" confinement will expect that symlink to exist. Luckily, not many snaps use "classic."
    1
  5643. :D Happy New Year!
    1
  5644. Hey, thanks!
    1
  5645. Thanks for the info, Serge. I do remember OpenSUSE creating some /var partitions for me on some installs. But I have never seen a distro create partitions I didn't want when I set them up manually. That would be a major deal-breaker for most Linux users. This version of Gecko did not create those partitions though when I let it do the auto-partitioning. It did not even create a SWAP. Just one big root partition (ext4).
    1
  5646. It's not a delay really, at least in typing--it is instant. It's really just a delay on the status line display, at it takes it a second to switch "Insert" to "Normal". I should have been a little clearer with that.

  5651. You are confusing the sheet music (which obviously is no longer copyrighted) and a recording of that music (which will be copyrighted by the music label that put it out).

  5652. It opens the search results in whatever browser you want it to....whether a graphical browser like Firefox or Chrome....or a text browser like lynx.
    1
  5653. You give me too much credit, sir. I can be bought....for a price. :D
    1
  5654. Merry Christmas, Chris.
    1
  5655. I got about 7 or 8 browsers on my system. I use them all. And BadWolf ain't bad.
    1
  5656. I don't know. So many videos, so little time. We shall see.
    1
  5657. Yea. If we can get pretty much everything down to click an OK button 1-3 times, I think we'd see a lot more market share for the Linux desktop. Still too much stuff has to be done via the terminal or the text editor in Linux.
    1
  5658. Arco does a really nice awesome edition. I think you will like it. Awesome is a great first tiling window manager.
    1
  5659. Thanks, Francisco!
    1
  5660. No, I moved to gitlab.com: https://gitlab.com/dwt1
    1
  5661. No, I don't have those scripts anymore. No worries though. It wasn't that interesting. A few simple python scripts I saved from me first learning python (really basic stuff).
    1
  5662. You're welcome
    1
  5663. I've had a few requests to look at sway. I actually need to look at regular i3 first. :D

  5667. I added a login sound to DTOS a few weeks ago. ;)
    1
  5668. Install paru-bin (the binary) instead of paru (which has to compile).
    1
  5669. Thanks, presentarm. By the way, installed your Openbox PCLOS on one of my drives a couple nights ago. Looks great. Still no NVENC option in OBS though. I suspect that the PCLinuxOS guys don't build their OBS package with NVENC support. I'd probably have to compile OBS myself. Still, a lovely distro! Can't wait to discuss the Trinity distro on BigDaddy's show Saturday night.
    1
  5670. Yes you can! Check out the wallpapers repository on my GitLab (link in description).

  5671. PCTLC Thanks, brother.

  5675. Thanks, Dan.
    1
  5676. Thank you, sir.
    1
  5677. I should take a look at FreeBSD sometime. Hadn't thought about it too much....because the two other BSD experiences I had on the channel were not so good (TrueOS, GhostBSD).
    1
  5678. Thanks, Lotun!
    1
  5679. Appreciate that!
    1
  5680. Muhammad Waqar Siddiqui You'd be surprised the things we all forget sometimes. What makes it even stranger is that I had done an Arch install on physical hardware the day before this video was made, and I didn't screw up the grub install on that one.
    1
  5681. Not related to Howie. It's just that all of us bald-headed white guys look alike. :D
    1
  5682. Cheapest thing I could find at Best Buy around 4-5 years ago.
    1
  5683. Will add it to the list of distros I need to check out. Been wanting to look it at. Thanks for the suggestion!
    1
  5684. It was out of focus.
    1
  5685. Well, Linux is pretty competitve search term, I would guess. Type the name of a specific Linux distro, that works better. :D
    1
  5686. >that guy with the cat LOL. That would be Tom over at Switched to Linux. He does love his cat.
    1
  5687. Deepin looks great. Just wish it was lighter.
    1
  5688. My version tells awk to only print out lines that begin with / . That way I don't get the commented lines at the top of the file, since they aren't part of list of shells.
    1
  5689. Thanks, Nilz.
    1
  5690. Thanks, rmcellig.
    1
  5691. Thanks, Eric!
    1
  5692. I wouldn't hate that.
    1
  5693. I see what you did there!
    1
  5694. Agreed. Email is a better communication platform than social media. :D
    1
  5695. Thanks, Karl.

    1
  5697. OpenSUSE is great. And it's a great distro for Plasma!
    1
  5698. What works for me may not work for you. I'd suggest trying a few of the popular distros in a VM or off a live USB stick to see how you like them. Good places to start are Ubuntu (or any of its main flavors), Mint, Peppermint, and MX.
    1
  5699. I used this one for a total of about 3 mins. But I think I'm going to like it.

  5709. darkone778 Thank you, sir.
    1
  5710. Doge was in the Arch repos for me. But since it is a Python app, you can use: pip install doge
    1
  5711. Thanks.
    1
  5712. Well, I've tried to shine a spotlight on the negative aspects of the open source community in regards to support. The elitist attitude and the nonchalant linking to a wiki (or even worse, responding with RTFM) is not going to gain us market-share.
    1
  5713. "odio" is the command.
    1
  5714. Ah, ok.
    1
  5715. Zebedee Boss Thank you, sir.
    1
  5716. Thanks, Michal. I have tried Mabox. In fact, I reviewed it on this channel.
    1
  5717. AntiX is awesome.
    1
  5718. Rented. Cheap hosting. Ubuntu 18.04.
    1
  5719. It is. Check the manpage for all it's functionality. It's not a very big manpage.
    1
  5720. Thanks for sharing!
    1
  5721. Peppermint is fantastic!
    1
  5722. Thanks, Kerwin. I hope all is well with you, sir.
    1
  5723. :D
    1
  5724. I should do a video on that actually. Maybe soon. :D
    1
  5725. SUPER+p, followed by c. You could also try to run the script with the command 'dtos-colorscheme'. The script should be ~/.local/bin. If it's there, make sure it's executable if for some reason it isn't.
    1
  5726. >make a rocket chat instance. Don't know rocket chat. But it doesn't matter. I don't have time to chat on any platform so it's pointless for me to make a channel. People will expect me to be there and that's just never going to be the case.

  5733. Thanks, Zeb. Yep, he changed the bio. Still, he's using my old Twitter handle and all of my artwork.
    1
  5734. Glad you think so!
    1
  5735. How would I know what's better for you? You gotta work that out for yourself.
    1
  5736. Thanks, Elstan. I will try to get the audio situation straightened out.
    1
  5737. I have used youtube-dl. It is nice indeed. I may do a video on it in the future. Thanks.
    1
  5738. Thanks, Kate.
    1
  5739. That is the command they had on their "gitgud" page. No "@" in it. Might be a typo?
    1
  5740. I must admit that the fact that it starts with "dt" did attract me to this program.
    1
  5741. Thanks, tubela.
    1
  5742. Thanks!
    1
  5743. That's weird. Definitely doesn't work in my urxvt.
    1
  5744. I have a ton of respect for Linus. But the man himself says his behavior is a problem and that it has drove people away from kernel development. This admission makes me respect him that much more.
    1
  5745. > Always wonder about people that won't "make eye contact." The camera isn't in front of me. It's at an angle off to my right and slightly elevated. Not comfortable to look at, really.
    1
  5746. Might be something I need to look into as well.
    1
  5747. Thanks, luckyboy.
    1
  5748. I have no idea what you are talking about. Nowhere in this video or any other video of mine have I ever said that anyone should share a "private" key. The very term "private key" suggests that it shouldn't be shared with anyone.
    1
  5749. >they seem capable of learning quickly. This is the same company that has been using NTFS since Windows 3.1.
    1
  5750. Not sure if this is something that's lacking from OBS in general, or just the Linux version (which I've heard is missing some functionality). But text alignment isn't an option when you add TEXT sources, at least not in Linux. Your best bet with that is to simply create an image of the text you need (aligned however you need it). I don't own any AMD cards and haven't used OBS w/AMD. But there will be a "hardware encoding" option for AMD users just like with NVIDIA. Not sure if it requires the installation of any extra packages or not. Again, not an AMD user. Sorry.
    1
  5751. Linux Lite is a solid distro.
    1
  5752. Good evening, Paul!
    1
  5753. Thanks, Dante. Much appreciated.
    1
  5754. Thanks, Dan.
    1
  5755. Thanks, Andy.
    1
  5756. Yes, it has dependencies but those dependencies are just the tools you would normally need to handle the different file formats anyway. Dtrx is just a handy front end to those tools.
    1
  5757. Well, people told me I needed to take a look at it. So I did. Now back to Linux...
    1
  5758. Thanks, Ben. I need to check that site out.
    1
  5759. Excellent!
    1
  5760. Not sure what was going on there in the video. But I did have alot more programs open than usual while recording this (on two other monitors). Strange how the terminal and the tint2 panel were flickering on the video.
    1
  5761. Thanks, Paul. :D
    1
  5762. Haha. Yea, the character Walter White from Breaking Bad does have a striking resemblance to Nick from unicks.eu.
    1
  5763. Now that's just embarrassing. ;)
    1
  5764. No idea what that problem is. Qtile has been rock solid stable for me for years. And it's far from an immature project. Might be an issue in your config.
    1
  5765. Appreciate that!
    1
  5766. >why do you currently use XMonad over AwesomeWM I have both installed on my machine (and about 8 others).
    1
  5767. I find Xmonad easier for me because I know a little Haskell. I don't know Lua at all...but still, I can do everything in Awesome that I want to do. Pick the one that best suits you.
    1
  5768. Thanks, BOSS.
    1
  5769. Yep. Sometimes you just want some quick examples of a command rather than a lengthy manual.
    1
  5770. I might take a look at Alpine at some point. Probably not really soon though. Have a few other things on my plate at the moment.
    1
  5771. Thanks, Ismael!
    1
  5772. I moved it out of the way to show the laptop. The ErgoDox sits on top of my desk.
    1
  5773. I just did an "omf install spacefish" and it's sexy prompt...but...why does it take half a second to load each time you run something? That's kind of a deal breaker.
    1
  5774. Thank you, my friend.
    1
  5775. Not even close. :(
    1
  5776. No doubt, Luke. ffmpeg is great if you don't need to add any effects. What I really need though is a Threadripper! :D
    1
  5777. Thanks, Thomas.
    1
  5778. It kinda does.
    1
  5779. It might work on non-systemd Arch-based distros...at least right now. But there is a strong likelihood that, in the future, the script will include some systemd commands.
    1
  5780. The software center is very nice.
    1
  5781. I have to be honest....I do like the name. :D
    1
  5782. Thanks, Ghiunhan. Take care, sir.
    1
  5783. Thanks, Vasanth.
    1
  5784. Awesome. Qtile is one of the most underated window managers. I don't understand why so few people know about it. It is stable and has a great development team.
    1
  5785. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance (working this evening). Last time I used qtile, I just used the builtin run command program they had rather than dmenu. And these days, I tend to use rofi. But I'll install dmenu and see how it works.
    1
  5786. So I played around with Qtile this evening. Played with the builtin run command feature in Qtile, and dmenu, and rofi on my triple monitor system. There are some quirks with all three of them. The builtin run command always shows on one screen regardless of focus BUT it correctly launches the programs on the screen with focus. Dmenu is inconsistent on what screen it appears on but it never shows on a screen with no open programs...it too launches the programs on the screen with focus though. Rofi always shows on the same screen regardless of focus and always launches programs on that same screen. Not sure how to correct these issues though. Best thing to do is file a bug report.
    1
  5787. :D I have quite a few wallpapers.
    1
  5788. Thanks, Dorian.
    1
  5789. I am using NVIDIA.
    1
  5790. Is that GNU/humor? :D
    1
  5791. I haven't watched this video but typically I don't open files inside vim. I use a program called dmenu. Inside vim, you enter command mode by typing: :e (for edit) then the path to file
    1
  5792. Ahh, I've been trying a couple of different shirt and mug companies. Give me a few days and I'll get that setup. Think I know with what company I want to go with. Ill be sure to let everyone know about it when it's ready.
    1
  5793. Thanks, Joe!

  5794. Daniel Olsson Adding it to the list. Thanks!

    1
  5796. It was Manjaro KDE originally but I removed all of KDE and installed openbox on it.
    1
  5797. The Moonlander and ErgoDox are the same as far as key layout and distance. I swap between the two all the time and there's no difference, other than the ErgoDox has 6 keys on each thumb cluster instead of 4 like the Moonlander..
    1
  5798. Gnome 2 is pretty minimal by today's standards. :D
    1
  5799. No clue. But then again, I don't have much information to go on. Xmobar doesn't launch? Try launching it from a terminal and see if it launches. If it doesn't, at least the terminal will hopefully give you some output as far as what might be the problem. Other than that, my config works. So if you change something and it breaks, then you know your changes are a problem. Beyond that, go to the proper support channels like /r/xmonad on Reddit or to the xmonad IRC channel. Because YouTube sucks as far as trying to give someone support on an issue.
    1
  5800. One other thing you should do is post your config (I notice you didn't do this on r/xmonad). It would help us spot obvious problems like a misspelled command or bad spacing or punctuation.
    1
  5801. Thanks, Sauron.
    1
  5802. qtile is the window manager. The bar is qtile's panel, customized a bit. You can find the config on my GitLab (in show description).
    1
  5803. Thanks, Lesnite.
    1
  5804. Thanks, Guillaume!
    1
  5805. That's actually something I plan to do, speaking of playlists. I need to organize my videos. Thanks!
    1
  5806. I'm with you on that, Serge. I'd also add that if a billiard table is nearby, I'll play a few games. I don't mind bowling (10-pin) as well.
    1
  5807. Thanks, Shryptic.
    1
  5808. Wallpapers are everything! :D
    1
  5809. The "spawn" isn't used in all keybindings.
    1
  5810. Nice. And yep...love me some solarized.

  5811. Much appreciated.
    1
  5812. >Please review the upcoming version (Spring Creator's Update / Version 1803 / Codenamed Redstone 4). It features many improvements. :) I may do that. I don't hate the idea. Take care, Xyna.

  5818. What are you wanting to record. Audio? Webcam video? Your desktop?
    1
  5819. Nice tip!
    1
  5820. Something I definitely should do!
    1
  5821. The previews don't work for me using st in dwm. Know this though, I have patched st with the alpha patch. That might cause some problems with the previews.
    1
  5822. Thanks, Ron. Appreciate that!
    1
  5823. All tiling window managers also let you float windows and drag them and resize them, etc. In qtile, at least with my config, I just hit the mod key and left mouse click to grab a window. Then I can move it anywhere I want. To resize it, I hit mod key and grab it with the right mouse button and size it how I want.
    1
  5824. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  5825. I'm using sidechain ducking but I need to play with the compression settings some more to get it right.
    1
  5826. That's tight, Johan.
    1
  5827. In my previous reviews, I mention that the installer always hangs on me at like 23-26%...for like 20 minutes. But it eventually gets past that and continues.
    1
  5828. It's not hard to get me to install a Debian distro. :D
    1
  5829. I use my own configs for Openbox so the distro doesn't matter for me. But for a pre-config'd Openbox, I do like Crunchbang++ for a Debian-based distro. If you like Arch-based distros, check out ArchLabs.
    1
  5830. Make sure you put her on a separate home partition.
    1
  5831. Downloaded the ISO this morning. :D
    1
  5832. Great to hear!
    1
  5833. Might check it out. Thanks.
    1
  5834. Don't know diskpart (not a Windows guy) but would tools like fdisk or parted work for you?
    1
  5835. Thanks, Joe.
    1
  5836. Agreed. :D
    1
  5837. Hi! :D
    1
  5838. You know this stuff isn't hard to check for facts, right? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=microsoft+edge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge
    1
  5839. Look. I don't want to argue about facts because facts aren't debatable. And I know this confusing, similar to Vivaldi being proprietary software even though it uses the open source Chromium engine. Heck, similar to Chrome being proprietary even though it uses a lot the same open source tech in Chromium. The Chromium engine is open source. The stuff those browsers build on top of the Chromium engine is not open source.
    1
  5840. Just for everyone's benefit here, I took the time to download the latest MS Edge for Windows (3.6GB). I searched for the license (or terms, in this case). Here are the terms: https://pastebin.com/zYMREnVx Definitely is in no way compatible with the open source definition or the free software definition. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that MS Edge is "evil" or you are bad person for using it. But we definitely don't want to spread misinformation here. It's one hundred and ten percent "proprietary software."

    1
  5846. Might look at it at some point. Have a few others to get to first. :D

  5847. Ymi_Yugy Thanks for the feedback .

  5848. Sort of. The source code is open (under MIT on GitHub) and you can build it yourself. The binaries from Microsoft are not open. They use Microsoft's EULA and potentially contain Microsoft telemetry. Obviously, the binaries are what the vast majority of people are using to install VSCode.

  5853. arno robin werkman A lot people that run lightweight DEs/WMs have nice machines. They just prefer the speed that those desktops provide.

  5866. I certainly wouldn't want to use Kwin with LXQt. Kind of defeats the purpose. There is certainly no reason to avoid using Openbox due to Wayland. X isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Of course, there are other window managers you can use with LXQt rather than Kwin and openbox. Alot of people use XFWM (XFCE's window manager) with LXQt.
    1
  5867. >Is Enlightenment a better alternative ? Not to me personally. But beyond me, Enlightenment really doesn't have much of a following. Bodhi Linux is probably the only thing keeping E19 relevant.
    1
  5868. X is going to be around for many, many years (possibly decades?). Don't worry about learning anything new because we "may" have Wayland one day. Wayland development started 9 years ago and it's still nowhere close to being a replacement for X. It's not out of the realm of possibility that X will be around long after Wayland is dead as a project. :D
    1
  5869. Delete all of the emacs-related folders ( ~/.emacs.d ~/.doom.d ~/.config/doom ) Also, make sure you don't have a default emacs config file in HOME ( ~/.emacs ). Delete all of that, but make sure the emacs program is installed. Then re-run the script and see if it works.

    1
  5876. So far, so good! :D
    1
  5877. What does this question have to do with anything about this video? This video is about people taking things personally and letting anger take control of their actions.
    1
  5878. Xmonad got alot of things right...especially multi monitors.
    1
  5879. Yep, I'm going to be busy in April reviewing all those releases.

  5880. Agreed!

    1
  5885. Actually, it is broken for me as well. I suspect I need to rebuild qtile-extras in the DTOS repo due to the recent Python update on Arch. I'll rebuild that and push it out.
    1
  5886. Fixed. Read this issue on GitLab for the commands. https://gitlab.com/dtos/dtos/-/issues/180

  5887. Tony Simons Appreciate that.

  5888. Sounds like a job for Javascript. (Can't believe I just said that.)
    1
  5889. I have not tried this but if I could configure Nextcloud to use my S3 storage as the primary storage, that would be pretty cool. Not something that I really have a need for, but would be a fun project.

    1
  5898. You don't have to enable ads at all in Brave.
    1
  5899. I avoid using Hyper/Meh on the Ergodox/Moonlander. Because so many people use my configs, I have to make sure that people using a standard 110 keyboard can use my configs.
    1
  5900. The bad part is, I've made videos trashing Twitter and announcing I deleted Twitter. And there is a DistroTube Twitter page? It certainly will confuse the hell out of people. Also this page has only been up a month or so. Who knows what this fake account will eventually be used for?
    1
  5901. I'm using i3-gaps. Not sure about using dmenu in combination with rofi. Rofi is advertised by their devs as a dmenu replacement. Not sure how you would use both in combination.
    1
  5902. Yea, plus there was that father/son team that created the bot that voted for Siduction 4000 times. They would LOVE for me to do Siduction. :D
    1
  5903. Thanks! :D
    1
  5904. Yep, my review of the previous version of Redcore. :D
    1
  5905. IMAP only (and SMTP for outgoing). POP is an older protocol. Most email providers use IMAP these days (or offer both POP and IMAP). If your email provider only uses POP, then I would consider finding a new email provider.
    1
  5906. Yea, I could combine Tall and Accordion. Would make for a interesting layout.

    1
  5909. Wow! Thanks, Greg.
    1
  5910. The problem I think is that the developers don't know what kind of shenanigans are going on in their forums.

    1
  5915. I need to take a look at Mageia soon.
    1
  5916. Check the description.
    1
  5917. We just need Steam/Proton to work with normal programs...not just games. Because Adobe has never ported anything to Linux and probably never will.

  5927. Thanks, Ron!

  5928. I've been enjoying vifm a bit more than ranger. The vim keybindings make it pretty intuitive. There are even some hacks out there to get icons in vifm, and w3m image previews in vifm. I got the icons working pretty easily. The w3m image previews aren't working correctly for me though (the image shows but is buggy--think I messed up something in the config file for it).
    1
  5929. Look for a widget called Application Dashboard. I think that is what you may be looking for.
    1
  5930. Thanks, bevg1.

  5931. TastyTrade has supported Linux since their beginning, and the founder of TastyTrade (Tom Sosnoff) was the original founder of Thinkorswim, which also supported Linux, so that's a big reason I've used those platforms. As far as being cautious regarding "trading channels", I would agree there but you can trust the TastyTrade YouTube channel. Tom Sosnoff is probably a billionaire and is definitely not trying to scam anyone. They don't sell anything as far as content...it's all free.
    1
  5932. Thank you, sir.

  5933. In vim, you can add this to your vimrc: highlight Comment cterm=italic gui=italic
    1
  5934. Not sure. I haven't heard about that.
    1
  5935. Thanks, Barbara.
    1
  5936. Sabayon is great too. So is Calculate. Along with Redcore, they are pretty much the cream of the crop as far as Gentoo-based distros.
    1
  5937. Appreciate that, Philip.
    1
  5938. In virtualbox, switching to the tty's is done with right-control + f1, F2, ect. Control+Alt+f1 if going to go to tty on your HOST machine. To get back to the graphical desktop, Control+Alt+F7 on your HOST machine. Just right-control + f7 in the VM.
    1
  5939. Ah, but Linux had animated wallpapers too. Well, Zorin OS has them. But I wouldn't recommend running them (on any OS). Your CPU will stay at 100%.
    1
  5940. I could see using gparted for formatting USB sticks. Lately, I've been using etcher. Though it's an electron app, it's quite nice.
    1
  5941. Last time I tried vimagit, it couldn't even do a push.

  5952. Kind of Elementary-ish.

  5953. Thanks!

  5954. Haven't thought of living in it. But being Debian, I'm sure it would be great. And I will definitely continue checking out future releases of Q4OS. Deserves alot more attention!
    1
  5955. No reason not to just use DeepinOS. Yes, it's Chinese. I know.
    1
  5956. No idea. Might just be the lighting.
    1
  5957. Thanks, Karl.
    1
  5958. Not sure about terminal keybindings. They would depend on the terminal emulator. But it looks like you are referring to the Bash shell keybindings which are quite handy to know.
    1
  5959. Colin Brash AntiX 17.1 released right after I made this video. It's like its meant to be. Take care, Colin.
    1
  5960. I have deleted my VirtualBox install of Kubuntu but it ran surprisingly well in a virtual machine. If I remember correctly, minimum requirement was 1G of RAM for Kubuntu but 2G is recommended. That sounds about right. I gave the virtual machine 6G for the video and it ran great.
    1
  5961. You can use polybar, but it will not show monitor/wokspace/layout information in any third-party panel.
    1
  5962. Thank you, sir.

  5963. Might do Enlightenment at some point....but have to get all these other WMs that I've committed to reviewing first. I reviewed Tumbleweed 42.3. Also did Gecko 423.
    1
  5964. I appreciate that!
    1
  5965. No, Rob. Don't plan to ever try to live in KDE again. Full DEs are just not for me.

  5966. Thanks, Joe!

  5967. Also, if you change the config for st, remember to recompile st.

  5970. > Oh, any chance to donate to Distrotube through PayPal? I probably should have created a PayPal link before now but for one-time donations: https://www.paypal.me/DistroTube For those wanting a subscription, I'm sure I could create a link for that as well.
    1
  5971. No, most people use the GUI Emacs. The only reason to run Emacs in a terminal is...well, I can't think of any. Maybe in a tty when you can't run a GUI.
    1
  5972. Didn't put it on video, but there is a program in the menu called Yanima (Yet Another Nitrogen Manager). It tells nitrogen when to change the wallpaper. Salent has is set to 5 mins by default but you can change it (or turn it off).
    1
  5973. Not at the machine I have Salent installed on..so not sure where they put their default wallpapers. But you can add your own wallpapers to any directory you like. Then open nitrogen, choose preferences, add a directory where your wallpapers live. Voila!
    1
  5974. Ok...just getting back to my Salent install. So you found the folder for the faces. It looks like they are 96x96 PNG files. So you can create a custom image or resize a photo to 96x96 and save it as a .png in something like GIMP (not installed by default-- sudo apt install gimp). You need to be root to save it to /usr/local/bin/styler/faces. Then open up the LightDM GTK+ Greeter program (Applications -> Preferences) and change the user image.
    1
  5975. That's the built-in panel with dwm.

  5976. I would expect stability to be second on your list. Surely "large and spacious Cadillac trunks" would top the list.

    1
  5979. That was dunst notifications from the host machine (running Xmonad). :D
    1
  5980. Not that I'm aware of. You need something really stripped down for that....maybe try Tiny Core.
    1
  5981. Nice! Thanks for sharing!
    1
  5982. Thanks. Well, my channel is barely off the ground. I'm certainly not on the level of the reviewers you named. But I have watched those guys, and they have their own unique biases (we all do). Joe Collins loves Mint (which I've never been fond of). My biases...of the 50 or so videos I've done in the last two months...I'd say over half of them involve Debian-based, Arch-based, or Gentoo-based distros. It's just what I like. I really need to spend more time with the RPM distros.
    1
  5983. Probably just didn't like my current font.
    1
  5984. Read the pinned comment. And install the linux kernel (pacman -S linux).
    1
  5985. Thanks, Geezer. And I agree. Dual-booting is not something I recommend for a novice.

  5997. So 'ghci' is the interactive mode of 'ghc' which is the Haskell compiler. So you need to install 'ghc' but you probably already have it if you had installed Haskell or any Haskell program.
    1
  5998. And to you, sir.
    1
  5999. If you have the fortitude and perseverance to study martial arts, or achieve fitness goals, or learn a musical instrument, etc. then learning to use Linux is not so different. In fact, compared to the stuff I just listed, Linux is a piece of cake.

  6000. Thanks, Martin.

  6001. Thanks, Analog!
    1
  6002. Once you get used to it, it's confusing to use other WMs that don't do it that way.
    1
  6003. Yea, I might blog a little. I'm not horrible at writing. Just takes...effort. :D
    1
  6004. Installing DTOS on Arch is not much of a test (as far as looking for bugs), because there won't be any package conflicts and other peculiar bugs that can appear on Arch-bassed distros like Arco or Manjaro because they maintain their own custom packages. But I've installed DTOS on mainline Arch on video in the past.
    1
  6005. I bought the intro. If you have skills, you can create such an intro with tools like Blender. I don't have those skills.
    1
  6006. Bought it from a website (not sure which one offhand) but there are plenty of websites that sell short animated intros like this. Just google it and you should find a few. If you want something more custom-built to your needs, then you would need to hire a freelancer.
    1
  6007. Thanks, Tim. Hope all is well.
    1
  6008. You can view https://amzn.to/2RtRiLp for windscreens and pop filters. Since these foam windscreeens are rather cheap, they often come in multi-packs. I bought a 5-pack of these windscreens for my mics: https://amzn.to/2QS6brr

  6013. >Sparky....This is Debian 9 Stretch. Ahh...my kind of distro...old and crusty and stable as hell. But you, Elstan, did not strike me as a "stable distro: kinda guy. :D

  6018. It's really amazing how far Linux and free software have come in recent years. Not sure if this would have been possible ten years ago. Or even five.
    1
  6019. Great to hear!
    1
  6020. Excellent, indeed.
    1
  6021. Checkout the show description. Look for Teespring.
    1
  6022. I must have misspoke if I said 4.15. Nitrux is on 4.18.
    1
  6023. Still a work in progress, no doubt. But this was much better than the last time I looked at it. So I do give the devs credit for taking criticism and addressing some of the previous issues.
    1
  6024. Haven't noticed any keylag.
    1
  6025. Thanks, Dan!

  6027. :D

  6028. Thanks, Andrei.
    1
  6029. Yea, I noticed that upon rewatching this. Also, there was more than one "English" category too.
    1
  6030. Thanks, I'll try it out when I get a chance. :D
    1
  6031. Oh, I'm going to still live stream. I would love to have a set schedule for lives but I don't think I can commit to that at this point. For now, I'll just hit "start streaming" when I find time / feel like it.
    1
  6032. Colin Brash Thanks!
    1
  6033. Thanks, neil.
    1
  6034. 'screenkey' is the program most people use for this. It's in pretty much every distro's repos.
    1
  6035. I think the rules vary from server to server. So if you don't like one server, move to another. Or setup your own server.
    1
  6036. Yea... I don't mind telling people I "tweeted" but what is up with Mastodon calling it's tweets "toots". I'm not about to tell someone I tooted.
    1
  6037. Yes, Joe. TOS loves Deadbeef!
    1
  6038. This video has not been flagged....yet. But the two videos prior to this one (Makulu and Virtualbox Guest Additions) are both demonetized as I'm typing this comment. I'm about to request a manual review. Sometimes that takes a few days before they get around to unflagging me though. Oh well, not a big deal for someone like me that's making pennies every day.
    1
  6039. It's something I plan to do soon.
    1
  6040. Thanks, Dan. Take care, my friend.
    1
  6041. You get the source code when you install my packages. It gets placed in /opt/dwm-distrotube-git as an example.
    1
  6042. Thanks! :D
    1
  6043. I've done a couple of Arch installs on the channel before, if that is what you are looking for.
    1
  6044. Not ready for the public yet. Email notifications aren't working which is important. My web host has the smtp (outgoing mail) ports blocked. I've asked them to unblock those ports. Awaiting their decision on that. If they won't unblock those ports, I will have to move this to a new web host. I'll let everyone know once it's ready for public use.
    1
  6045. It is not from suckless.
    1
  6046. Thanks, Anthony.
    1
  6047. Lord knows I need one! :D
    1
  6048. Thanks for the tip!
    1
  6049. I could take a closer look at it sometime. I tend to neglect the GUI package managers in my reviews because I don't use those tools myself. I tend to do everything in the terminal. I need to do better at looking at the graphical package managers.
    1
  6050. Well, had you watched the video, I explained that I could not get this to work in Virt-Manager. So there's that.
    1
  6051. Thanks for the suggestion, mohammed.
    1
  6052. Arco at the moment on my production machine. Have Arco and Antix running on my laptops...although I'm probably going to wipe one of those this evening for the new MX.
    1
  6053. Thanks, Belaluddin. Appreciate that.
    1
  6054. I was using Manjaro for this video. Running the openbox window manager.
    1
  6055. Thanks for sharing your story, Adrian. I agree, Arch isn't that difficult to install or to maintain if someone wants to put in the effort. But then again, this video was about those people putting things like Arch (and other similar distros) on NEW users computers who don't even know what Arch (or Linux in general) is. Take care, Adrian.
    1

  6057. Different distros put things in different locations: sudo find / -iname xmonad This will find all the files/directories on your system that are name xmonad (case insensitive).

  6058. Looking at market share, the fact that Edge isn't even close to Chrome and Firefox is not surprising. But even Microsoft's "old" browser Internet Explore has more users than Edge. That's just sad.

  6059. Oh that was Klingon? Looked like Ferengi to me.

  6062. I did see RPM5 mentioned in some of the documentation on ROSA's website (it was in Russian) so I'm assuming they are using it. It would make sense since Mandriva used RPM5 and ROSA is a fork of Mandriva. According to this article (http://linuxconfig.net/reviews/what-is-rpm-5.html): "RPM 5 also gave Mandriva a very flexible packaging system, letting it disable packages depending on a country’s software license It uses this flexibility to enable proprietary plugins and drivers in a Russian version of its distro, known as ROSA Desktop."

    1
  6072. If you are getting the commands in a support forum or IRC or official wiki that is sponsored by your distro...then it's almost certainly OK. If you find a command on some random blog, you might not want to run it unless you understand exactly what that command will do.

  6075. Xmonad in this video.

  6076. You are correct. Although the scrolling is rather nice, it is not moving pixel by pixel as it should. The documentation mentions that to get smooth scrolling, you have to enable "multiGrid" which is launching neovide with --multiGrid which I've done. But it appears to have no effect on scrolling, although it does add a little animation when switching windows around.

  6077. Version 0.7 is what is in the AUR.

  6081. Same config.
    1
  6082. Just a guess but are you using polkit and authentication agent? Check out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit The big desktop environments have this running already, but window managers do not. It allows you to pick which one you want to run, if any. I tend to use lxsession.
    1
  6083. Thanks! I spent about 15 minutes on it. :D

  6084. I'm one of those weird people that don't use plugins. I just use the stock browser.

  6085. If you have to have Windows, then a solution may be for you to dual boot Windows and Linux. Make a Windows partition that is big enough to store all your games, and give your Linux partition the rest of the disk. Going forward though, I would just make it a point to not buy any games that are Windows-only. You gotta get into the mindset that you are Linux user and that Windows-only software may as well not even exist to you (there is plenty of Linux software out there).
    1
  6086. Glad you enjoyed this. I hope to do more of these. Learning the terminal is such an important part of the Linux experience.

  6087. Paul Cyr Thank you, sir.

  6088. Didn't show the kernel release. Should have. Being Debian Stable, it's not going to be the latest kernel though. Probably the latest longterm kernel (which is the 4.9 series I think). As far as a hybrid distro, if having a few programs from various desktop environments installed on your system makes it hybrid, then pretty much all of us are running hybrid desktops. Regardless of the desktop environment or window manager I chose, I usually install GNOME apps like Rhythmbox on my machine. In Openbox, I need a file manager and the usual ones to chose are Thunar (XFCE) or PCManFM (LXDE). For disc burning software, I always install K3b (A KDE program). You end up with a little bit of everything on your system after awhile.
    1
  6089. Yea, Peppermint is a bit of an oddity. It runs an lxsession (so it's LXDE under the hood) but they are using XFCE's panel and menu rather than LXDE's panel and menu. I would say that that certainly is a hybridization of two different desktop environments.
    1
  6090. Funny you mention this. I seriously just noticed this about an hour ago. Not sure what's the problem. I'm investigating.

  6104. dd is awesome but a bit dangerous. There is a reason that dd has so many colorful nicknames like "Disk Destroyer" and "Data Deleter" and similar. Too many people have wiped drives that they did not mean to with dd.

  6110. It's not that serious of a situation. You can always just get the non-aliased "ls" by using:: (1) command ls | grep 'SOMETHING' .. or using the full path to the binary .. (2) /bin/ls | grep 'SOMETHING' .. or if using bash , escaping ls with a backslash .. (3) \ls | grep 'SOMETHING'

  6129. > Bash has the "-" argument to go to the previous directory. While 'cd -' is neat and I use it all the time, it just changes to the last directory (not necessarily the previous in the stack). So if you 'cd -' repeatedly, you just go between your current directory and the last one. 'prevd' and 'nextd' keep going through the directory history.

  6132. The GUI system monitor is not the same program for each desktop environment. So it's not a good comparison between one desktop and the next. For consistency, I try to stick to htop. Also, htop can be run in a tty is needed, where the GUI cannot. That's important when your graphical environment has crashed.
    1
  6133. Thank you, sir!

  6137. I might check them out at some point. Thanks, PCE Nuggets.

  6138. Org is a default module in Emacs now. Now as far as configuration, obviously you'd probably need to spend some time in the emacs config setting up Org to your liking.
    1
  6139. No clue, but this is obviously going to be an Internet installation. The download size will depend on the distro you are installing this on since some distros will already have a lot of packages installed. So I can't really give you an exact answer on this.
    1
  6140. Very cool. You running Linux on it? If so, what distro?
    1
  6141. Wrote it on my white-board here next to my computer. Always looking for suggestions for reviews. My MX Linux review was due to a user suggestion. I also was recently requested to look at ROSA (coming soon). And in this thread lemler let me know about Archmerge and you let me know about Revenge OS. These suggestions really help alot. Points me to distros that are not even on my radar but apparently others are looking at. Good stuff!
    1
  6142. Thanks, Geezer!
    1
  6143. I agree, it's pretty.
    1
  6144. The great thing about Linux is we have about 100 different terminal emulators in the repos. :D

  6145. Thanks, Larry.
    1
  6146. Suprisingly, very few people do not get the joke. :D
    1
  6147. Your best bet is to download other people's configs and see what they do. Maybe take a look at what ArcoLinux does with it's awesome config. Or just look through GitHub for random people's configs.
    1
  6148. Exactly. See what others do with their configs and use what you like, toss the rest.

  6164. You don't click a panel to switch windows in a tiling window manager. It is designed to be keyboard-driven. To switch between windows in a tiling manager like qtile, you typically use the mod key (SUPER/Windows key) plus the Vim keys (h, j, k, l) to move focus from one window to another.

  6171. Unfortunately I require a bit more out of my display server due to the fact that I do things like make these videos.
    1
  6172. Thanks for that. I know it's not the most efficient code, hence why it's not public on my GitLab. This script was just something quickly thrown together in a few minutes to get the job done. I plan to actually do more with it at some point. I do need to make it add title tags to the html pages at some point.
    1
  6173. Glad you figured the color part out. I've noticed transparency in some terminal apps works in certain terminal emulators and not in others. Lynx, for example, is nice and transparent in urxvt. Not transparent in st with the alpha patch. Not a big deal though because you can always add in some transparency with compton if all else fails.

  6176. Dual booting always comes with the risk of having bootloader issues. But it's easy enough to fix with a live USB/DVD (Ubuntu's live disk has gparted on it). It's one of the reasons I don't like telling new Linux users to dual boot Windows and Linux.

    1
  6180. Gotta agree with you, Joe. It's unfortunate how many distros fail at getting right the easy stuff...like placing an icon for your installer somewhere that a user can find. Or disabling the lock screen in the live environment.
    1
  6181. Yep, Arco.

I think now you need to register at Freenode and you need make sure that your IRC client provides user/pass during the connection stage. A quick Google search comes up with this page: https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl Hope it helps.

  6209. You need to play with the font size and the vertical offset in the config. In my config, I have: font-0 = "UbuntuMono Nerd Font:size=10;2" font-1 = "UbuntuMono Nerd Font:size=16;3" Font-0 is the normal font for text. Font-1 is the font for the unicode triangles. You notice I use bigger font for the triangles? I also had to do vertical offset of 3 as opposed to 2 for the normal font. You'll have to play with this as this will vary depending on the fonts you use.
    1
  6210. Also, make sure you choose a font that can display the unicode characters.

  6212. Copy the default surfraw config to your .config folder in home: cp /etc/xdg/surfraw/conf ~/.config/surfraw/conf Then edit that new config file: nano ~/.config/surfraw/conf You might see something like: SURFRAW_graphical_browser=/usr/bin/chromium #SURFRAW_text_browser=/usr/bin/links SURFRAW_graphical=yes Comment out the graphical browser line, then uncomment the text browser line, then finally change graphical to "no". #SURFRAW_graphical_browser=/usr/bin/chromium SURFRAW_text_browser=/usr/bin/links SURFRAW_graphical=no

  6219. Old videos. I haven't played CSGO probably in a year.
    1
  6220. I think it makes sense. I often record a video for release at a later date anyway, so...early access to these gives my patrons a perk and doesn't really affect non-patrons at all. Plus, these pre-recorded videos make my life a bit easier. The show I posted on Patreon yesterday...that's the video I'm releasing on YT next Wednesday, so I know I've got next Wednesday's content covered. :D

I haven't played with this module but it seems to allow you to combine two different layouts: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.16/docs/XMonad-Layout-Combo.html The example they give combines the TwoPane layout and the Tabbed layout. So I would assume that whatever pane you were in, the new windows would automatically be tabbed.

  6264. True. But I don't script these videos. It's possible that I may have wanted to edit that file before writing it to the home directory...in which case being root is necessary.

  6270.  @elli430t  Sounds more of a VirtualBox problem than an XMonad problem. I used Virt-Manager and everything was fine. My suggestion would be to try different graphics drivers in Vbox, or maybe try changing pointing device from 'PS/2 Mouse' to 'USB Tablet'. I know I've had to do that sometimes when the mouse cursor was acting funny.

    1
  6276. No big deal. Insert the USB key or attach the ISO if in Virtualbox. Chroot back in. Run the grub mkconfig command.
    1
  6277. I'll add it to my "to do" list. Thanks.
    1
  6278. Very cool.

  6279. I'm using the starship prompt in bash, fish and zsh. I've done a video about starship in the past.
    1
  6280. Thanks.
    1
  6281. I've done two videos on Slackware....two very lengthy videos on Slackware.
    1
  6282. Slackware is a different kind of distro. It is not a rolling release so it is stable. The thing with Slackware is that it is the oldest distro still under development and still does things a bit "old school". Package management is really different. I'd suggest watching my videos on Slackware to see what I'm talking about with this.
    1
  6283. If you want "stable"...as in rock solid stable...then Debian is always a good choice. The Ubuntu LTS is always a good choice. Mint would be a good choice. MX Linux would be something to look at too.

  6291. >It's the learning curve that is the main problem Yea. It takes a little too much effort to learn this stuff for the average person. This kind of stuff will always be aimed more at the power user and the enthusiast.
    1
  6292. Thanks! :D
    1
  6293. Will do Budgie next. Then Lubuntu maybe.
    1
  6294. Gracias, Miguel!
    1
  6295. Appreciate that, Joe. Take care.
    1
  6296. Thanks, Scott.

  6297. I didn't test this out on real hardware. But I have run other distros that use Plasma 5.13 on this machine. Screen tearing is an issue. You can google around for possible solutions to the problem, usually playing with options in the Nvidia Settings tool. But it is a shame that KDE still has these problems.
    1
  6298. rmcellig Glad you liked it.
    1
  6299. I had to give KDE a shot. Been a Linux user for too long not to give it a fair chance. But it's just not for me. I can deal with alot of things, but instability is NOT one of them.
    1
  6300. Thank you, sir!
    1
  6301. Thanks, hottake. Glad you are enjoying these.
    1
  6302. Well, if it breaks on me I will certainly document it on the channel. I'm going into this expecting the occasional hiccup.
    1
  6303. Yep, the problem was I changed the keybinding to open a terminal to Mod+Enter which, of course, was in conflict with the default keybinding to move the focused window to the master. I have now corrected that in my config. Thanks. >Finally, I feel like you aren't attempting to alter your work flow to fit with DWM. I haven't altered my workflow at all. Dwm works fine for me. Much more comfy with this than i3. So not sure where you are coming from with that comment.
    1
  6304. Although I could record my desktop with OBS or simplescreenrecorder and place a program like guvcview or cheese on the desktop (I'd have to make it "always on top"), I usually add the webcam as a source in OBS. That way I don't have to worry about having a real webcam window on my desktop and having to set rules for it to stay on that monitor and always be on top.
    1
  6305. Confirmed.
    1
  6306. Thanks. I can't wait until my next day off from work so I can spend a few hours experimenting with some of the settings.
    1
  6307. I wasn't too sure if it would be worth spending that kind of cash on a mic. But so glad I did.

  6308. You can resize virtualbox VMs (but not in the GUI). You need to use the command line: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50661

  6315. You should!

  6316. It's been so long, I can't say. It might have been something of my own design. You can find my latest rofi here: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/rofi/themes/distrotube.rasi Similar in layout but different colors (it's green).

  6319. Agreed!

  6320. I was aware of that prior to starting this recording so I installed another plugin that would also show me the tags (Tags For YouTube). ;)

  6321. I know. Never once did I mention "Miley".
    1
  6322. Awesome! Glad to see the Slackware team on Patreon. Wish more distros did this!

  6323. Thanks, Bogdan. I reviewed this in a VM. I have AMD FX 6300 (6-core) processor and gave the VM two cores.

  6325. Thanks, Squid!

  6327. Yea, can't believe I hadn't heard of this before now.
    1
  6328. Tiling window managers are not for everyone.
    1
  6329. Thanks.
    1
  6330. A good first tiling window manager....I'd suggest Awesome.
    1
  6331. Thanks, Steve!
    1
  6332. Thanks, neil!
    1
  6333. I also found Xmonad.Prompt.Pass for a pass menu. It's three prompts actually...one for copying your passwords to your clipboard, one for generating new passwords, and one for removing passwords.
    1
  6334. Slow mirrors is the biggest negative for this distro.
    1
  6335. Thanks, Colin.
    1
  6336. :D
    1
  6337. Or I could pronounce the way Donald Knuth (the creator of TeX) pronounces it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HuwiBPLV3A You can hear his pronunciation of LaTeX at 0:14.
    1
  6338. I might be willing to do Void w/ Openbox. An intriguing option.
    1
  6339. Overdue on making a proper intro.
    1
  6340. Because too many people use /bin/sh as the shebang in their scripts, which points to the default shell on your system. Moral of the story is that people need to start using /bin/bash as their shebang to help out us fish users.
    1
  6341. Good first tilers...Awesome is pretty usable out of the box.
    1
  6342. Great to hear you got it worked out. Sound? Did you install pulseaudio? You will want to do that. Install the volume control too (pavucontrol). Then start pulseaudio: pulseaudio --start
    1
  6343. Not a bad idea, Steven! Thanks!
    1
  6344. Create your own would be nice. But it is great to have a working config from someone else as a reference. Especially for xmonad. ;)
    1
  6345. >The best option at this point is to literally let them have it. Time to start a new web? I like the idea. Let's set some ground rules though...no Javascript! :D
    1
  6346. No need. The install process is the same.
    1
  6347. Yep...man pages are a real lifesaver sometimes. If you want to know more about man....you can: man man :D
    1
  6348. Thanks, Josh. I need to try i3 soon. It's one of the WMs I plan on reviewing soon. But I already have qtile and xmonad config'd because I've used them for so long. So I usually stick to one of those.
    1
  6349. I don't know what I would do with wopr honestly. Making presentations in a terminal with xml is a bit...odd. I think I'll stick to LibreOffice for that kind of stuff. But I did have wopr installed and noticed that some of the characters don't render correctly in urxvt. Not a big deal on a program I wasn't really using anyway. But I fear I will come across a program I do want to use and will have similar issues.
    1
  6350. Hmmm, I think that was thunar I opened. I have pcmanfm also installed. And various terminal file managers as well.

  6353. I can adjust the volume. Thanks for pointing out the issue.
    1
  6354. Great to hear!
    1
  6355. Removing the floating does make the VMs start correctly....but they tile which isn't ideal.
    1
  6356. Thanks for the feedback, Robert.
    1
  6357. Thanks. As far as installing those distros on a pi, do they offer an ARM version? If not, no.
    1
  6358. I don't use Diaspora as much as Mastodon. Seems like a nice place though. They deleted you? What was that about?
    1
  6359. My thoughts are....I'd love to get one! But they are definitely overpriced.

  6366. This command will take a minute (times 1000). :D

  6367. What's that? j/k
    1
  6368. If using Doom Emacs, go into the init.el and find a section headed with ':term' And uncomment vterm. Uncomment eshell too if you want to play with it. Then run a doom sync to install those new plugins. The very first time you launch vterm, it will have to compile (takes a few seconds).
    1
  6369. Also, in your init.el, look for a section heading ':emacs' and look for a line for ibuffer. I have mine set as (ibuffer +icons) which will give you some nifty icon fonts inside ibuffer.
    1
  6370. Thanks, Serge!
    1
  6371. 👍
    1
  6372. Thanks, Franky!
    1
  6373. Because those binds are for when I'm not already in Emacs (haven't launched it yet). Once I've already launched Emacs, then I can use my Emacs bindings.
    1
  6374. I'm using zsh with the powerlevel9k theme.
    1
  6375. It's worth trying out. Most TWMs are very small installs and are easy to try out on your machine. A good first time TWM....I might suggest awesomewm? Qtile is another one that I've grown to love and promote alot on this channel. I3 seems to be one alot of people start with too...but I gotta be honest, I'm not sure it's as noob-friendly as what many make it out to be...but nothing too difficult to setup. I'd avoid something like xmonad (which is GREAT) unless you have a programming background and don't mind writing in Haskell. :D
    1
  6376. You are correct. They have both TImeshift and DejaDup.
    1
  6377. Arch w/ i3? Such a strange combination. :D
    1
  6378. KDE 3.5 was forked and that fork (trinity) is alive and well.
    1
  6379. The configuration for xterm is similar to urxvt: you use the .Xresources file.
    1
  6380. Thanks, Dim Dob.
    1
  6381. :D
    1
  6382. Yes I do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obzf9ppODJU
    1
  6383. I never did any kind of sound check. I did this install on camera and then immediately deleted that VM. But sound usually works out of the box. You may want to install the Pulse Audio volume controller so you have a graphical way to adjust mic/speaker levels.
    1
  6384. Yea...maybe I'm setting myself up for disaster on my laptop but I'm going with Solus on it. Will keep you posted.
    1
  6385. I'm not sure what your comment means.. Go back to Virt Manager? When did I "leave" it?
    1
  6386. I didn't make any such video. Must have me confused with someone else.
    1
  6387. Yea, but use a terminal file manager like ranger or vifm and they occupy the terminal window anyway. Problem solved.
    1
  6388. i3 should be in the Debian repos, so you could install i3 on Raspbian, if that's your question.
    1
  6389. Thanks, Anzan.
    1
  6390. Thanks! :D
    1
  6391. Will check them out. Thanks, Danke.
    1
  6392. It doesn't.

  6393. No, actually I'm reading the words of Richard Stallman from this page from GNU.org: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html

  6394. It can use snap if you want it too.

  6405. Tmux isn't a patch for st. ;)
    1
  6406. Obviously, I was using a machine with ethernet and not wifi.
    1
  6407. I think this was Manjaro. Qtile was the window manager.
    1
  6408. Without internet, you cannot install updates or download the proprietary drivers during the install. :(
    1
  6409. I ran through the installation process. Not sure what you are asking about.
    1
  6410. Thank you, sir.

    1
  6421. lol...uh, no. Don't buy this if you want to use Blender.
    1
  6422. Arch should always be the first answer! :D
    1
  6423. sudo pacman -S dwm ? I didn't include that part because honestly, if you are not sure how to install software on your distro, then dwm is definitely not something you need to try out.
    1
  6424. I don't use FreeBSD. Not sure what package manager it uses. Consult the FreeBSD documentation on how to install software on it. I'm sure that dwm will be in the repos.
    1
  6425. Thanks!
    1
  6426. Mabox is nice but the last release of it was quite awhile back.
    1
  6427. You put the Fn keys, Num keys, media keys, whatever...in their own layers. It's a programmable keyboard. You can make it do whatever you want.
    1
  6428. Sounds like we need the lynx browser and the gopher protocol. :D
    1
  6429. It's a large yard and I do cut it myself...with a push mower (I prefer push mowing for the exercise). Takes me about an hour and a half to mow.

  6438. Not sure when the first WM review will be. Tomorrow night at the earliest. Probably Thursday though.
    1
  6439. Thanks, neil.
    1
  6440. Tmux isn't really a shell. It's a terminal multiplexer. So I'm not sure how well it would work as a default shell. But it lists itself in /etc/shells so I would assume that it must work. Doesn't tmux have some way to set the shell it uses? Full disclosure, I'm not a tmux user myself.
    1
  6441. Thanks, Nattrium. I was using the qtile window manager on Manjaro. You can find my configs on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/dwt1

  6442. No one's active on Diaspora. It's a ghost town. A nice idea that never caught on.

  6444. Good to know about the Olympus lenses. Thanks, Rob.
    1
  6445. Never used it.
    1
  6446. Yea, I caught that too. Thanks, Keith.
    1
  6447. Hmm. If I add it as an entry to Urban Dictionary, does it become a real word? :D
    1
  6448. Ahh! It gave no indication at all about what kind of program it was. But then again,, I didn't read any kind of release notes or any documentation about OpenIndiana before trying it.
    1
  6449. Thanks, Colin. See you, buddy.
    1
  6450. I move a bit but I'm never turning my head more than probably 45 degrees each each way. And the mic isn't that far from me...maybe 4-5 inches. The camera makes it seem like there's more distance than there is. ;) Also, if your volume drops when moving around, turn up the gain a bit...and make sure you speak loudly (not shouting, but speak with some authority).
    1
  6451. I could/should have.
    1
  6452. Thanks, Andreas.
    1
  6453. I would have no problems living in either of those distros. Both are awesome!
    1
  6454. Thanks, Anthony!
    1
  6455. LOL. :D
    1
  6456. Thanks, Vamsi.
    1
  6457. I can't tell you which would be best for you. i3, dwm and xmonad are actually quite different from each other, especially when how they handle workspaces and how they handle multi-monitors.
    1
  6458. Electricity Running Manjaro with the qtile window manager...this week. :D
    1
  6459. Just pushed my vifmrc to my GitLab for you: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/vifm/vifmrc Lines 379-392 are the magic lines. They may not display correctly viewing in the browser but download my vifmrc and you will see what's going on there. ;)
    1
  6460. Make sure you use a terminal font that can display the unicode characters. I use the nerd fonts.
    1
  6461. Will do. Thanks, Dan.
    1
  6462. The windscreen does a make a difference with pop sounds (P's and B's). And the scissor arm is worth every penny. The mic is just too damn sensitive to have it sitting on the desk where my tower is running, my laptop is running, where my keyboard is sitting, where I'm constantly picking up/setting down my coffee mug, etc. Take care, brother.
    1
  6463. Might check it out. Thanks.
    1
  6464. LBRY is just a website. Your window manager shouldn't matter.
    1
  6465. Yea, the music intro never sounded loud to me but I never listen to my videos with earbuds either. But I know alot of people use earbuds so that's something I need to be aware of going forward.
    1
  6466. Appreciate that.
    1
  6467. Looks OK to me. What seems to be the issue?
    1
  6468. Install it. Login. You won't break anything on your current install by trying out another window manager.
    1
  6469. The Arch guys changed the installation right after I posted this video. Check the pinned comment. Arch no longer includes linux, vim, nano, manpages, and a bunch of other stuff (maybe not even bash) as part of the base install. Install them yourself via pacman.
    1
  6470. Hit whatever keybinding you set to launch Steam. :D It's really just the same as any other window manager.
    1
  6471. I have to check my schedule for tomorrow.
    1
  6472. Appreciate that, Steve.

  6473. I don't use w3m. I use lynx. I prefer not having images in my text-based browser. Images are bloat. ;)

  6485. I didn't have to install VBOX additions. They work out of the box in Fedora 28 (because it's using kernel 4.16 I think--I believe this is the kernel version where the guest additions were baked into the kernel itself.)

  6486. Many terminals won't offer you any kind of menu. Middle-click is a Linux standard though, and most of your terminals will allow you to copy/paste with keybindings. In Alacritty, it's set to Ctrl-Shift-c for copy and Ctrl-Shift-v for paste, but you change this in the config if you prefer a different binding.
    1
  6487. Fedora doesn't install multimedia codecs out of the box. Thus, it can be a frustrating experience for new users who have to enable third-party repos to get that stuff. Ubuntu or one of the many Ubuntu-based distros would be a much better starting point as a new Linux user.
    1
  6488. Still have it. But I haven't really hacked on it. Honestly, herbstluftwm just works out of the box really. I should do an update video about it at some point. Got sidetracked with other stuff lately...mainly the new computer. And now gopher.

  6494. Might do Calculate. We shall see.

  6495. Maybe on a future episode. :D

  6496. Best of luck, Tom.

  6497. Wasn't bad actually. Once I figured out the bindings, it felt pretty comfy.

    1
  6502. Thanks! :D
    1
  6503. Yep, Steam is not working correctly for me. Some windows just open up an go crazy flashing on and off. So that's going to be a deal breaker for gamers.

  6507. No podcast versions at the moment.

  6508. Absolutely! I complained about this in a video a few months ago...about the toxic Linux community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw_hPq087J0

  6512. Hey there!
    1
  6513. BigDaddyLinux This could be great. Or a complete train wreck. Will be a good time either way.
    1
  6514. I did a video about surf awhile back.
    1
  6515. You talking about the little 8 second music clip? I bought it. :D But if you have the skills, you can create those kinds of animations in something like Blender. I don't have those skills or the time to become a master at them.
    1
  6516. I haven't really considered Twitch. Maybe I should.
    1
  6517. The arrow keys work in vim by default. Many vim users disable them though.
    1
  6518. Pretty sure I looked at Reborn a few months back.
    1
  6519. Probably not worth upgrading if you are enjoying 18.04. Stick with the LTS and upgrade when 20.04 comes out. No need to upgrade to the interim releases unless you just really need the latest kernel or bug fixes.
    1
  6520. >hey your bald …. Only by choice. :D
    1
  6521. The Suckless surf page recommends that you compile your own webkit. From the site: "Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is pure insane. Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch." I'm on Arco (Arch-based) so my webkiti is webkit2gtk so I didn't bother compiling it.
    1
  6522. Not a bad idea. I should do comparison based on documentation...and support channels.
    1
  6523. Yes, sir. Thanks for noticing that.
    1
  6524. Oh, I have to give this a try!

  6525. When the cursor is moved away, the top bar and the control buttons go away.

  6528. Live streaming is something I need to look into. But I do want to try it out. Would love to interact with folks live.
    1
  6529. That makes sense.
    1
  6530. I did mention there update tool. Didn't update on camera though. Each flavor of Calculate Linux features a binary repository for precompiled packages that are optimized for the given distribution. But you can compile from source if you choose. Package manager is portage.

  6532. Glad you think so!
    1
  6533. Why am I using mocicon from that source? Because that's the source. Not sure if that's a serious question. 🤔
    1
  6534. It's in my Dotfiles repo.
    1
  6535. Eventually. Too many distros. Not enough time.
    1
  6536. No idea since I don't have anything to go on here. I will leave you with this link though: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.config/xmobar That is my xmobar config. It uses FontAwesome as an additional font to display unicode glyphs. It also can display xpm icons if you prefer. My config uses one xpm icon as an example. If you want that xpm icon, it is in this directory: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/tree/master/.xmonad Beyond that, you need to ask such questions in a proper support forum (the xmonad subreddit is great) and make sure you share your configs so people can inspect them. YouTube is just not great for support questions as it's not really a proper forum.

  6540. Open a terminal and type "vimtutor". Print that file if you want.
    1
  6541. ArchBang is great. If you like openbox on Arch, check out ArchLabs, Arco w/ openbox, Manjaro Openbox and ArchBox too.
    1
  6542. I could have easily put 50 different tiling window managers in this project. Had to draw the line somewhere. :D But I may take a look at bspwm down the road.
    1
  6543. Ah, good to know! Thanks!
    1
  6544. Esc to get out of insert mode. Then :wq
    1
  6545. Thank you very much
    1
  6546. Depends on the distro, of course. But you install it from the package manager...just like on any linux machine. Then logout and login into i3.
    1
  6547. The spee.ch embed is flaky at best. But it kinda works. I have been informed that LBRY has the "share" link on the video page that includes an iframe embed...that works for the most part (in some parts of the world it may not work). I plan to do some testing with the iframe embed.

  6550. Thanks, Analog!
    1
  6551. I could have had three working installations of Gentoo in the time I've already spent on GhostBSD. This is the difference between the Linux kernel and the BSD kernel--hardware support!
    1
  6552. There have been a few Linux distros that try to mimic ChromeOS pop up over the years. Some are specifically designed for Chromebooks (I don't own a Chromebook). None of them ever gain any real following. But I might try to take a look at one or two of these distros that seem the most interesting to me.
    1
  6553. Thanks, Eduardo!
    1
  6554. Not exactly. But it certainly was inspired by his design.
    1
  6555. I'm fine with you guys posting over on Reddit. As stated in the video, I actually do like Reddit and view alot of the Linux-y subreddits on a daily basis. So I'm cool with if you guys want to chat on Reddit.
    1
  6556. Mike Romero Thanks for sharing your experience, Mike.
    1
  6557. Thanks, Erick.
    1
  6558. Don't have a VM of either distro anymore but they should be similiar. Both are Debian-based, openbox, tint2 panel, and not much else. So both are light.
    1
  6559. Antix is pretty sweet!
    1
  6560. I could do something on that topic but honestly, it's a pretty simple task....at least in theory:  ./configure make (sudo) make install The real problem is dependencies. If the program you're compiling requires some dependencies, it can be a challenge to find those dependencies and get them installed, because the exact name of those dependencies varies from distro to distro.
    1
  6561. Thanks, Vanos!
    1
  6562. :D
    1
  6563. You don't have to worry about things like malware in open source software. The code is open--meaning anyone can take a look at it, and too many people are using Redcore for there to be some sort of nefarious code in it (and no one has noticed).
    1
  6564. I think you will like it. It certainly makes things easier when you type a long command and need to edit it before executing it.
    1
  6565. Ah! Thanks, presentarms.
    1
  6566. Not the same goals. Funtoo was created by the founder and former leader of Gentoo. And it's not trying to be user-friendly. The install process is done by using a live USB of another distribution (they recommend SystemRescueCD but any live USB works -- such as Ubuntu) and using the command line.
    1
  6567. True, prebuilt binaries are similar...for Funtoo, Redcore, Sabayon, etc. But that's kind of the point with all of these Gentoo-based distros...to not spend hours having to compile software. If you want to compile everything, well we already have mainline Gentoo so no need for another distro doing the same thing.
    1
  6568. Thanks for sharing that, vacant2012.
    1
  6569. You bet
    1
  6570. Definitely a lack of sleep getting to me. I even remember looking at the CPUs in htop during the video...when I said it was dual-core. Needed more coffee I guess. :D
    1
  6571. Is it falling back to the default config? If so, that is what it does if there is an error in your config. Find the error and fix it.
    1
  6572. Because, it's amazing? :D
    1
  6573. Fine distros, all of them.
    1
  6574. Never used it personally.

  6575. Read the Arch Wiki about setting your locale. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/locale
    1
  6576. Awesome!
    1
  6577. PATH="$/home/gudu/.cargo/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}" You missed one of the braces. Also, I would wrap it in quotes.
    1
  6578. PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}" $HOME is an alias for your user's home directory (/home/gudu in your case).

  6584. Good to know about the 'StatusNotifier' widget but if it's for Wayland, I won't be able to use it. At least not until Nvidia works better on Qtile with Wayland..
    1
  6585.  @CrazyycclowN  Interesting. I can't get it to work in X11. It shows nothing in the bar...no errors....but also no systray icons. Are you on Arch Linux? If so can you share your config? Not sure why mine isn't working.
    1
  6586.  @CrazyycclowN  Already had python-pyxdg installed. I also have python-dbus-next installed since 'qtile-extras' recommended that on its version of StatusNotifier. No luck though. No errors but no system tray icons appear.
    1
  6587. No doubt people outside the Linux community probably laugh at some of our antics.

  6589. Appreciate that, Brad.
    1
  6590. So many of these programs! Another one I need to look at. Thanks!
    1
  6591. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  6592. The arch guys changed the installation process shortly after I made this video. Check the pinned comment. You may need to install the kernel. # pacman -S linux
    1
  6593. No idea. Not something I've ever looked for.
    1
  6594. Thanks for watching!
    1
  6595. Nothing says L337 ha4x0r like Hannah!
    1
  6596. Arch was on the list. Or were suggesting that they drop Arch?
    1
  6597. No idea about using a cell phone as a webcam. A camcorder would work assuming it does clean HDMI output (you'd need a capture device though).
    1
  6598. I have never called anyone using Mint "lazy." You know this. You just want to stir shit. Shame on you, Michael. I expected better.
    1
  6599. Yep, that's a distro!
    1
  6600. Thanks, alex. Much appreciated.
    1
  6601. That was a "me" problem. For someone reason, virt-manager decided to change the video driver that I typically use in my VMs. Once I selected the correct driver, all was good.

  6603. From YT's audio library: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music?feature=blog Search the composer: Aakash Gandhi The song was "Lifting Dreams". Other songs from the same composer I've used in recent videos included "Heavenly", Kiss The Sky", and "Shattered Paths".

  6609. Don't know anything about pubg mobile. Not much of a gamer. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
    1
  6610. No, it doesn't look like the mobile app even has the option to import such an archive. Hmmm. A quick google search shows that Mega isn't an option on Joplin. Looks like some people have managed to get pcloud to work though: https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/feature-request-pcloud-synchronisation/3530/38
    1
  6611. The programs I manually installed.
    1
  6612. Fair question actually. It's a conscious decision. I make the webcam video window "always on top" of the Vritualbox window so it's always visible and set the window to have "no border". Without it being "always on top" everytime I do anything in the virtual machine it will hide the webcam video. Then I have to either unmiminize my webcam window on the taskbar or or use alt-tab or some other keyboard command.
    1
  6613. Seems to be there: https://packages.solus-project.com/shannon/t/tint2/
    1
  6614. Two very different distros. Debian releases are years in between...so it's rock solid stable....but very old. Fedora has a much quicker release cycle and is more bleeding edge. Both are fine distros. Will just depend on what you prefer.
    1
  6615. Fair point. Firefox used to have a bad reputation for being slow but the newer Quantum releases seems to have speeded things up a bit.
    1
  6616. :D

  6622. Laziness has its place. :D
    1
  6623. Thanks for posting this, Karl.

  6624. KDE Neon is kind of a bare distro. It's basically the Plasma desktop with some of the KDE apps and not much else. OpenSUSE is a much more complete distro....probably more of what you would expect.
    1
  6625. See if this works: https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/-/blob/master/.spectrwm.conf I commented out line 96. It was uncommented but that file it was trying to source doesn't actually exist on my system. I commented that line, logged out and logged back in, and now the ALT key works in my other apps and no longer acts as a MODKEY in spectrwm.
    1
  6626. xmobar.
    1
  6627. Thanks, Chris. Merry Christmas.

  6628. This is true for people that find themselves in vim and have no clue how to exit. I imagine they would feel like going "full Exorcist" and start throwing water at the screen...yelling, "The power of Christ compels you!"

  6634. Honestly, I don't see the need to do a video on that. He made a video explaining why he did it. I can understand his decision. It's tough to moderate the comments on Youtube. I mean, it's a full-time job itself. When the trolls and nutjobs get out of hand, sometimes it's better to just disable comments.

  6646. Great idea! I would love to install some distros from years past. Maybe revisit some of the ones I loved when I was getting started.
    1
  6647. "man" is bloat. "tldr" is better.
    1
  6648. No, I believe you are correct. Opening up the python file that runs it, it is pulling stuff from their github repo.
    1
  6649. Never seen anything like GridSelect in qtile. Not that someone couldn't write something like GridSelect in python, but I don't think it exists at the moment. Advantages/disadvantages of qtile vs xmonad? Python or Haskell? Which do you prefer? Also, qtile has a very nice panel that's easy to configure. Xmonad has no builtin panel and third party panels (besides xmobar) can be tough to get working properly. Xmonad probably has more extra modules that you can use due to the fact that it's an older project than qtile.
    1
  6650. Actually, I didn't open the "text" directory on camera. Looking at it now...I see two files. One is "index" and the other is "arch-wiki.txt.gz". I think the arch-wiki text archive was created by another program that I have installed called "arch-wiki-lite". It creates that archive and you can search it at the command line with : wiki-search string

    1
  6654. I am doing just fine, Cesar. Thanks for asking!
    1
  6655. I don't usually bother with notifications. I don't want to be bothered every time I get an email or a response on Mastodon. Not to mention, those notifications get in the way when I'm recording my desktop. But yes, what you saw on this video when I fired up lxsession was dunst. It was already installed on Manjaro i3. ;)
    1
  6656. Thanks, bro.
    1
  6657. Will check them out.
    1
  6658. Looking at the release announcement over at Distrowatch. Based on Debian Jessie? Not looking good already.
    1
  6659. I was wondering the same thing about that "K". I think the codename for this release was Kepler (didn't mention it in the video). Maybe the K is for that. Strange regardless.
    1
  6660. Oh I fixed my KDE problems already. I fired up a terminal removed KDE and all it's dependencies. Problem solved. :D
    1
  6661. Yep. I have a link to my github repo in the channel header. I'll post the link here as well: https://github.com/dwt1
    1
  6662. SUPER+SHIFT+RETURN
    1
  6663. The link will certainly be helpful to many who are not aware of the differences between tiling managers. Thanks, Chris.
    1
  6664. Thanks, Sohan. For development, either Manjaro of MX would be fine but you may prefer Manjaro since it's rolling release and will always have the very latest packages. Best of luck!
    1
  6665. My GitLab. Check the show notes.
    1
  6666. I will definitely agree with this point: " OpenRC is slower." No doubt about that. But it's not a deal breaker. For me. To each, their own.

  6671. Well, to be fair....the bar was set rather low with suckless.org. :D
    1
  6672. What a shame! :D
    1
  6673. I'm not sure how it handles plugging in an extra monitor to a laptop. Never tried it. But you could ask the qtile guys on their GitHub or if they have an IRC channel.
    1
  6674. If you have your own openbox configs, they are all the same. If not, try them all out (except Arch) in a VM. No need to try Arch with opebox if you don't have a config for it. Takes literally 10 mins to install each of these in a VM.
    1
  6675. It should.
    1
  6676. You can create new layouts in most tiling window managers. I think I had about a dozen different layouts in my qtile config, some were there just because I had an some OBS scenes that worked well with windows in those layouts. Basically, you can config these TWMs to do whatever you need them to do.
    1
  6677. That certainly works a bit better. Thanks. But now I notice that when I go to "fullscreen" mode in Virtualbox (ctr-f) I see nothing but my wallpaper....no VM, no panels, no nothing. I have to kill the VM in the terminal. Weird.
    1
  6678. Yes, the VM now starts. But not being able to fullscreen kinda sucks. I'll probably have to record my VMs in another window manager for now.
    1
  6679. Thanks!
    1
  6680. Much appreciated!
    1
  6681. Thank you kindly!

  6685. Martin Engelbrecht Much appreciated.
    1
  6686. I still want to apt-get in Debian and yum in Fedora.
    1
  6687. Launch nitrogen from the terminal and see what the output is. Might give us a clue about what the problem is. Also, you might try removing the nitrogen config file: $ rm -r ~/.config/nitrogen/
    1
  6688. If the configuration directory is causing the problem, then simply uninstalling/reinstalling nitrogen won't fix the problem because uninstalling does not remove the config directory. You have to use "sudo apt purge nitrogen" to completely remove the program and all the configs.
    1
  6689. In nitrogen, you go to preferences and click add.....then add a directory where your wallpapers/photos reside (good directories to choose would be your /home/username/Photos directory or /usr/share/wallpaper). Don't just choose / or /home because it adds these directories recursively so nitrogen may crash if you add some huge directory. Then you should see a preview of every image in that directory. Click it on it and choose apply.

  6695. Thinking about installing it on a separate drive on my main machine to play with it for a few weeks.

  6696. Hi, arno. I recently started accepting paypal. There is a link in the channel header. There is also a link in the About section of my channel.
    1
  6697. May have to take a look at that one. Thanks, thorot.
    1
  6698. I appreciate that!

  6699. Thanks, Jed. Keep up the great work!

  6700. Hi

  6701. Thanks, Anselm. Appreciate that.

  6702. eznix I don't support the CoC. But I also don't deal in "what if's" and conspiracy theories.
    1
  6703. Hope Manjaro KDE works out for you.
    1
  6704. Thanks! :D
    1
  6705. Not out of the box.
    1
  6706. Not completely ruling it out at some point in the future. But music channels on YouTube....I'm not sure I could offer anything that unique or useful. But who knows. Maybe one day..
    1
  6707. Nice!
    1
  6708. lol :D

  6709. Thanks for saying hi on the TOS live stream this evening. Take care, Khyree.

  6712. They started rolling this out yesterday.
    1
  6713. :D
    1
  6714. Thanks, Bryan.
    1
  6715. Yea...alot of people like to make Arch sound more difficult than it is...as far as the install. The trick is not installing Arch. The trick is maintaining a rolling release distro (like Arch) and being able to fix the ocassional breakages that crop up.
    1
  6716. Bash is the default system shell on Arch. This script is for Arch-based distros so I'm not seeing a problem.
    1
  6717. I install a lot of stuff...for the YouTube channel.
    1
  6718. Awesome! :D
    1
  6719. Thanks, Felix.
    1
  6720. Appreciate that, Alex!
    1
  6721. I'm on mastodon.technology.
    1
  6722. No. Although I'm sure you could edit some things yourself to make it compatible with other init systems.
    1
  6723. Oh my. Ratpoison!
    1
  6724. Are you building VSCode from source? Or are you using the binary?
    1
  6725. Awesome, that's an open source build rather than the official binary.
    1
  6726. And people say Ubuntu is too "purple". :D
    1
  6727. Of course, I could do this. But...I work a rotating schedule at my real job right now. This prevents me from commiting to a set schedule on the channel right now. But maybe soon, I can commit to something like this.
    1
  6728. Thanks, Randomizer.
    1
  6729. I didn't do anything to get them to work. I chose the VboxVGA driver when I created the VM though, if that helps.
    1
  6730. Thanks, Serge. I will definitely check out Adrien's channel.
    1
  6731. Thanks, arno.
    1
  6732. Thanks, Johan. Much appreciated.
    1
  6733. I did install vifm a couple of weeks ago (like 4 distros ago :D ) but really didn't play with it much. I should look into a bit more. Looked interesting.
    1
  6734. Ohhhh....I need to look into this.
    1
  6735. I stuck with POSIX for this vid. There some non-POSIX ways of doing alot of this stuff too.
    1
  6736. Thanks for the tip!
    1
  6737. Never tried Revenge so I might have to review that one. The others I have looked at and liked them all. Korora is interesting because I really don't like GNOME but Korora had me re-evaluating my opinion of GNOME.
    1
  6738. Glad to hear i3 is working for you!
    1
  6739. >its human nature. It kind of is, right. We just like tearing each other down.
    1
  6740. You can use the same SWAP partition for both operating systems. Never tried it personally but I do know that it is done. The SWAP is only used by the OS you currently using so sharing one SWAP partition is not a big deal. SWAP will be rarely used anyway with 4G of RAM. If you bump that up to 8G of RAM then it would be extremely rare for SWAP to be used.
    1
  6741. Thanks, Murilo. Will check it out.
    1
  6742. Thanks for watching!
    1
  6743. Thanks, undefined.
    1
  6744. I hadn't considered this! :D
    1
  6745. It is possible. Just include the .vdi images (basically, the virtual hard drives of your virtual machines) on the ISO. But honestly, it's a bad idea to do so because of space. Each virtual machine is going to be several gigs in size. Think of how big this ISO is going to be ijust including one virtual machine...now imagine you had ten virtual machines on the ISO. Most distros are trying to keep their images as small as possible so including a bunch of virtual machines is probably not something anyone would do. I think a better way to go would be to host some .vdi's on the web and let people download them and run them if they are interested.
    1
  6746. Thanks, Joe. Hope you have an awesome Cake Day as well!
    1
  6747. More to come!
    1
  6748. Was not a fan of GNOME 2 really. Didn't hate it. But I didn't spend much time living in it either. Started looking for "lighter" alternatives....even back then. That is when I found Openbox.
    1
  6749. Still have hope that I can get my issues resolved.
    1
  6750. My apologies. I had some DNS problems. Should resolve itself soon.
    1
  6751. Thanks, Analog!
    1
  6752. >One more, the DD function in Linux stands for Double Dump This might actually be true!
    1
  6753. Interesting question. Not sure on that.
    1
  6754. I give you bonus points for using Awk! :D
    1
  6755. Haven't gone too deep into bspwm. The little time I have spent with it...it seems like nice WM. I i'm sure I will get around to living in it on my main machine at some point, for research purposes. ;)
    1
  6756. Awesome. Will have to check that out!
    1
  6757. Ssshhh. Don't jinx it!
    1
  6758. Qtile is bloated? It uses python which pretty much 99% of most Linux machines are going to have python installed anyway. You definition of bloat must be a bit different than mine.
    1
  6759. Good catch on that.
    1
  6760. Thank you, sir.
    1
  6761. Install times will vary depending on hardware.
    1
  6762. jarkko korhonen Appreciate that.
    1
  6763. Thanks, Dan.
    1
  6764.  @YisraelDovL  Will check out your videos. Thanks.
    1
  6765. First person to mention Void. Could be very interesting. Not sure how that would go on my production machine. How are the repos? Would I be able to find OBS, Kdenlive, SimpleScreenRecorder, guvcview, Audacity, etc in the repos?
    1
  6766. Looks like they have most everything I would need. I didn't see simplescreenrecorder. But I could compile it.
    1
  6767. Ah yea, I knew I needed to remove that. Forget it when I hit record though. Will wipe that out right now. Thanks!
    1
  6768. Something I definitely want to explore. I would love to rewrite my XMonad configs as org files. :D
    1
  6769. No, that's too noob for me. I use the uber-l33t libreoffice impress.
    1
  6770. Already checked to see if it's available in the repos. No. No on dwm as well. But awesome is available. ;)
    1
  6771. Thanks, Loopesther PP! :D
    1
  6772. Nice tip! Thanks!
    1
  6773. That's a widget in the qtile panel.
    1
  6774. Just a builtin widget that you can use in qtile.
    1
  6775. The Cheez-Its from yesterday? You really think that box is still around? :D
    1
  6776. In TWMs, you just use MOD + the vim keys to switch focus on the windows, SUPER + MOD +the vim keys to move the windows around...and usually some key combo involving the vim keys to adjust the width/height of the windows if you need to adjust the spacing. For those times you want to use floating mode, you have the option of using the keyboard to resize windows or just use the mouse to do it.
    1
  6777. Congrats! :D
    1
  6778. Hadn't noticed any real speed differences. Of course, it will vary depending on how many packages you have installed.
    1
  6779. Thank you, sir!
    1
  6780. GhostBSD is great if you don't want to mount any USB devices (drives, mics, cameras, etc). :D
    1
  6781. CoNfIrMeD
    1
  6782. Yep. Busy week this week. Ain't it cool! :D
    1
  6783. Thanks, Daniel! I might do more with vifm on a video in the future. Keep finding neat stuff with it.
    1
  6784. Google bought a different company that was called Odysee seven years ago. Read the pinned comment.
    1
  6785. It would seem so.
    1
  6786. I made a mistake in the recording. The group you need is just libvirt...not libvirtd.
    1
  6787. I have two CTRL keys....one is "z" held and other is "/" held. So CTRL-z would just be holding "/" and then tapping "z".
    1
  6788. Yes, I could always run a live USB for anything missing in BSD.
    1
  6789. Thanks, POISON! Take care.
    1
  6790. Appreciate that, Pickle!
    1
  6791. Thanks! :D
    1
  6792. Thanks, Dan!

  6793. Haiku master race!
    1
  6794. Yes.

  6795. > It really is amazing how just because somebody doesn't like a certain project they say it should die. Mr. Sanders nor myself said we do not like Mint. > Instead of hating on Mint people Who was hating on Mint or Mint people. I certainly was not. And neither was the TehcRepublic article. Calm down and take a deep breath.

  6796. >the impression it left was that you don't like it. People will read into it what they want.

  6797. I'm not bald though. I'm just too cheap to pay for a haircut. ;)
    1
  6798. First, you have to write the manual using the TROFF typesetting system. Once you get past that, it's just a matter of placing it in the appropriate directory.
    1
  6799. Not bad branding!
    1
  6800. victorh2007 Thanks.
    1
  6801. The old Linux Action Show was great!
    1
  6802. Thanks, Randomizer.
    1
  6803. Will add to my "to do" list. Thanks.
    1
  6804. Did my bias show?
    1
  6805. Not sure if both openssh-client and openssh-server is installed on Mint 19. If not, just install them. The machine you want to ssh into needs to have the ssh daemon running: sudo systemctl start sshd.service
    1
  6806. Thanks, Manny.
    1
  6807. Maybe one day I'll get me one of those fancy 4K monitors. :D
    1
  6808. Thanks, Carlos!
    1
  6809. I came VERY close to installing this on my main production machine. Love where ArcoLinux is going.
    1
  6810. Thanks, Hardik!
    1
  6811. Analog IDC Appreciate that.
    1
  6812. Thanks, Daniel. I'll think about the yoga video.
    1
  6813. Not sure about the best. I use an app called tootdon. It works well.
    1
  6814. If Debian's working for you, I'd stick with it.
    1
  6815. It would appear so: https://gohugo.io/content-management/formats/
    1
  6816. I am pretty sure that the very next video I did after this was a Gentoo install. ;)
    1
  6817. Perfect timing. :D
    1
  6818. Thanks, David. Much appreciated.
    1
  6819. Not in my micro. It is clearly labelled CtrlG and CtrlE. And the the shift is necessary, at least with CtrlG. Ctrl e does work though.
    1
  6820. Appreciate that! :)

  6822. 1. No favorite distros really. If you like stable though--Debian. If you like rolling--Arch. 2. Openbox, awesomewm, qtile, xmonad.
    1
  6823. Should be a good time. Thanks, Rex.
    1
  6824. Awesome. Good luck with Fedora!
    1
  6825. Thanks, Rico.
    1
  6826. Thanks, Rob.
    1
  6827. Yea....give it just a couple of minutes. Youtube always publishes the video before it's through processing completely. Annoying to watch in 360p. :D
    1
  6828. Thanks, Colin Much appreciated, brother.
    1
  6829. "Vanilla dwm" -- lol Dude, patch that thing already!
    1
  6830. Always some potential of breakage for rolling release distros. Especially if you are doing a big update.
    1
  6831. Thanks! :D
    1
  6832. Thanks, Nara rasa.
    1
  6833. Thanks, Tommaso.
    1
  6834. Thanks! :D
    1
  6835. I don't remember having any problems with the guest additions. When you install them, check the terminal output. It might be a dependency issue. Make sure gcc, make, and the linux headers for your kernel version are installed. Good luck.

  6836. Thanks, Dustin!
