Nice tutorial, so can we assume you like endevaros :)

[@arunsathyamurthy8332]

You should probably do a comparison between manjaro vs endevaouros, ease of use/ install/responsiveness/battery etc (XFCE version and both fully upgraded to latest). Thanks

[@kaloan999]

You are missing the lsd link in the discription - in its place you copy-pasta'd the bytop one. The proper vid id is 6MlOaZ_KgxA :)

Vim is more like a language than an editor. It takes a little time to really get the hang of 'communicating what you want the editor to do with the text', but once you do anything and everything text related becomes blazingly fast. Not for everyone because of not only the learning curve (learning various commands is only the beginning) but also the practice involved in mastering it to the point where you pretty much do it without much thought.. That takes some time.

[@OpenEnjoyer]

Nano IS just better bro

[@JD-qo9wk]

​@OpenEnjoyer it's a hell of a lot more straightforward that's for sure. And I do use nano 99% of the time as I generally use vscode for programming so the only time I'm editing files in the terminal is when I need to make minor edits which nano is perfect for. However, vim and neovim in particular, is objectively a more advanced, more feature-packed, all-around *better* program. It's essentially a customisable IDE in the terminal. That said, if nano had syntax highlighting I'd probably personally never use nvim at all.

[@dmitripogosian5084]

In 20 years of using vim, I learned just like 10 commands :)

[@YrmiZ]

Thanks man these are just golden! Coming back to Linux after 10 year freak is just blast! There is so much cool stuff to do just using terminal. Feeling that I that now when I am older I learn everything much better and It is very cool to find out new things every day.

First time stopping by - good job! BTW: you could start a competition to count the number of times you say "...go ahead and ..." just sayin' ...I gave up after a couple of dozen! Maybe that's a merch idea ... a mug that just says ...'go ahead' ... Your'e welcome! Still liked the vid, thanks!

I ditched Windows in 2014 starting with Ubuntu as my daily driver before switching to Mint. I don't recall when, but it's been some years. I've checked out many distros over those years and considered myself not unfamiliar with terminal usage, but a few weeks ago I took the dive into Arch. Now I get what it means to be an "active" user. Arch has proved to be something of an frustrating addiction than a fun hobby interest which makes the word "user" seem that much more apropos. Your videos have become one of my resources and I appreciate it. That's really all wanted to say. Dunno how it turned into a whole paragraph. I watch other people's videos and haven't said peep. Anyway... Thanks man! You "go ahead" and keep doin' what you're doin'. I'm gonna "go ahead" and watch more of your content right now. 😊

[@crazymonkeyVII]

gdu is awesome, I had never heard of that before, thanks!

[@jpberes]

Awesome video ... some stuff I noticed within CLI apps ... gdu and ncdu are 2 cli apps doing exactly the same thing. Instead of lsd I would personally recommend a tool written in rust, called exa (a lot more functionalities)

[@laughingvampire7555]

lsd is also written in rust

[@braelinmichelus]

Take a shot every time he says "Go ahead" Please don't actually do this... you'll probably down the whole bottle by the end of video 🤣

[@duoploy-k5o]

Dude, I've literally learnt so much watching your video's tonight, been taking notes... :-D Practical and fun stuff great combo, lolcat and ascii-image, through speedtest, neofetch, etc. Software and comparisons, tempted by Zorin from my Mint... Cheers.

[@sccjono]

I first used Midnight Commander back in the late 90's when I first started playing with Linux because I didn't know any commands and it is still the first util I install on any new distro I setup. 😀 It's kind of a happy place.

[@markusbuchholz3518]

Thanks for displaying you preferences. Tmux is awesome but I do recommend terminator also. Thanks && good luck!

[@taputechnic]

Based on this video and the predecessor, I installed bat (which I'll probably use primarily from now on), ncdu (gdu wasn't in my repository), and neofetch (cpufetch was unnecessarily detailed for me). Thanks for the tips!

[@yash1152]

I use speedtest under WSL, and it's a great little utility.

[@RedSntDK]

Alternatively for windows there's ookla speedtest in the MS store. And through winget there's Ookla.Speedtest.CLI for the CLI version.

[@s.aravindh6227]

[@solstxce8596]

if u are too lazy to copy paste you can just pipe it and that wud usually even store the colors so u can just do cat "file.png.txt" for the converted thing! Thats how i got neofetch for the pihole

[@peteruk8]

So your production distro is now Endeavour OS? Hows it going with that and would be interested to know why this is your preferred? Thanks :)

[@volarencuba]

I use bat if you have view built-in each OS doing that job

[@3gsahil]

Which keyboard you are using ? , Those blue highlighted keys caught my heart 🍅 . Thank you .

[@definty]

tmux select-pane -P "fg=#00FFFF" You can replace the GD hex color with any and it will color that pane which is nice for when you have multiple.

[@arkoprovo1996]

do you really have to use the magick in front of the convert? I've always used it as convert ..., no magick before that.

[@xrafter]

You could use a symbolic link if you don't want to put magick in fornt .

did you edit this video on linux? if so, what video editor did you use? i was looking for that blur feature like in 13.17

[@legen_dary42]

Unrelated to the video, but I noticed you switched distros from Manjaro to Endeavour OS. Any particular reason why, and how is Endeavour OS compared to Manjaro? What's different? I recently switched to Arch Garuda Dr4gonized Gaming Edition and absolutely love it for many reasons, but it has a few hangups that have left me thinking about swapping distros again.

[@gopies]

lolcat - love it :)

[@manoerina1873]

after installing lsd there is one more usefull command added by lsd that is l command. and it is combination of ls -lh with lsd.

[@TheOneTrueMaNicXs]

Try tilde with gpm.

[@solomontechspin]

Do apps u use on Linux distros

[@wizdude]

tmux is the bomb. The most common use case is for headless servers (hosted virtual machines and the like) where you only have ssh access. Even without using the tiling features, you can open up multiple terminal windows and toggle between them over a single ssh session. You can also disconnect from the entire session and reconnect later with all of your windows still in place. Awesome for running servers and the like.

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

Yeah, tmux is better than the old 'screen'.

[@wizdude]

@@StupidusMaximusTheFirst I used screen for years and then I found tmux and realised I’d been missing out so much. Like someone had been hiding a secret from me :-)

[@karama300video]

Try to start it from terminal with sudo if it doesn't find devices.

[@send2gl]

Tmux I use to keep a remote ssh terminal open whilst able to close local terminal and turn machine off. Very useful.

[@krtirtho]

Missed the most useful command *zoxide* FYI, it's a cd replacement that works 1000 times better than the traditional `cd` command

[@Akarsh-]

Idk much about this, could you explain how it is 1000 times better than cd command?

[@ogal]

​@@Akarsh- It's z made in Rust, it tries to match the string parameter with the most frequently navigated directories. Suppose you often navigate to /home/myself/some/random/tree/structure instead of typing the whole path you can do z structure and you'll go to that directory. I used it for some time, but if two paths are similar and you use them both regularly it can't understand where you want to go and there is a high chance you'll go to the wrong directory. Since I already have auto completion in the terminal it is pretty useless imho
