[@JustAGuyLinux]

Thanks for the invite and the conversation.

[@OraOraOra]

Btw, I agree with you: Debian Bookworm is def. enough for most users, in combination with Flatpak it's perfect for me. I just have 1 Issue. GNOME Wayland is good, but to get Screensharing and OBS working, you need a Pipewire Backport ...

[@w3w3w3]

good video bro

[@TheLinuxCast]

Oh, this is gonna be good!

[@Mach7RadioIntercepts]

I enjoy Drew's channel - lots of useful content. LOL I'll listen to him in my earbuds when I'm out running errands, but get thrown off when he's got some output on the screen and he won't read it out. Drew will say "If you get THIS then retry and include THAT..."

[@UnhingedNW]

HE DOES HAVE A FACE. One of my favorite LYT channels. Finally got me pushed into Debian on all my machines.

[@Ebalosus]

His videos on configuring Debian with btrfs, zram, and minimal installs have been invaluable.

[@giancarlolugo7048]

I wanted to try Debian a long time ago and always had issues. Watching Just a Guy Linux solved all of my Debian issues.

[@UnhingedNW]

@@giancarlolugo7048 before 12 it was a huge pain to install on some systems if you didn’t know what you were doing. First time I installed it I had to do a ton of digging to find a separate driver file for my network card and add it to the ISO and I was still new with Linux in some ways so this wasn’t trivial for me haha. With the release of 12 they made it as easy as ticking a box in the installer for 3rd party firmware.

[@cloakofshadow1]

This man is almost single-handedly helping people like me, who absolutely need Debian for their systems, get up and running with his scripts and helpful videos. Big fan of this.

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Very nice. Appreciate you.

[@84_z52]

The videos he made about debian is the most user-friendly tutorial video I've ever seen!

[@krazykat64]

Oh hell, there’s a channel almost completely dedicated to Debian? I’ve gotta check this out. Thanks for having him on. I do some distrohopping but I learned Linux on Debian and that’s almost always where I land at the end of the day when I get frustrated with something else.

[@philipcollier7805]

Cool! I watch Drew's channel; nice to see him over here doing an interview with Brodie.

[@OpenBASED]

My favorite Debian tuber!

[@night_h4nter]

oh, finally somebody using a stable distro on desktop, thank fuck. thanks for this episode

[@Mach7RadioIntercepts]

35:20 Yeah, DWM (Flexipatch) is nice. I use just a few patches and some custom colors for my setup. Works great, lasts long time.

[@akashp01]

He is just like me -- started on Debian Xfce - the goldilocks zone for DEs then moved to WMs, I am currently using i3 with Deb Stable. The xfce goodies are good additions too. Thanks for featuring him.

[@AM-tu1rc]

I love this guys videos, he helped me learn debian!

[@individual_disk_936]

I started using Linux a few years ago and started on Pop OS. I tried a few other distros and finally settled on Debian. I love its documentation, stability, and simplicity. Just a perfect distro for me.

[@necuz]

21:00 That hits home, I've already referenced my old videos to copy Steam launch options out of the description multiple times 😅

[@RickRomig]

Great interview. Drew's videos got me started with i3wm on Debian. I started with his scripts fro installing i3-gaps on Bullseye and I've adapted and modified them to install i3 on Bookworm and install utilitions and applications to fit my needs.

[@TrustJesusToday]

Drew has good content. Starting my second year in Linux, so his presentation is helpful. I like Debian too. I eventually left for distros with Hyprland. (Fedora 40 and Hyprland 0.39.1.)

[@tommynaugle3572]

Cool seeing him in the flesh

[@discocat2500]

You rock Drew. I enjoy your content.

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Thanks. Very much appreciated.

[@thesaigoneer]

A great one, guys! Nice to get two wm geezers talking together, really enjoyable. Thanks a lot to you both!

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Had to look this one up. Geezer in Australia is "a guy". Brodie. Geezer in the U.S. is an "old guy". Me. Hmmm. 😉

[@thesaigoneer]

@@JustAGuyLinux Wonder what bloke means in the US ;-)

[@donaldwilliams6821]

AGS is another util like EWW that has some nice features

[@kztuptuo7076]

So this is a face of a man behind on of most awesome linux channels ever made. Hi Drew Hi Brodie and God Bless you all

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Very kind. Appreciated.

[@conjurermast]

Geany & micro are the way to go!

[@FunkySpidey]

Great guy , great videos on debian

[@kztuptuo7076]

dwm is to much a hassle for me, bspwm looks nice in terms of config, yet the documentation is let say limited. That is why i do not use neither of them. Do not have time for reinventing the wheel. Basically that's a main reason why I'm in a camp of those guys who use *box wms flux box black box and stuff like that. Simple well documented, reasonably light and fast :)

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

Top anime crossover

[@ultraprimez]

Yup i follow you Drew. I see that there's no latest release of firefox or any browser on debian or LMDE 6. Is it possible to install Arch Linux with Linux Mint or Debian kind of desktop and use Arch as a daily driver for general purposes like watching video's Online/Offline, Listen to music, Online shopping & payment, Watch OTT etc.... On Arch as Simple user and not as Dev with Neovim God like user. i kind of like the idea of Rolling release.

[@lorenzozapaton4031]

Yes, everyone can. But should you?

[@nou712]

I daily drive Debian, i think it's nice. It's an easy way to deploy a functional, general purpose and secure linux system easily on a random piece of hardware. You can say arch is sort of easy with archinstall but is it secure? Does it configure Xorg in a secure way out of the box?

[@lorenzozapaton4031]

@@nou712 I used Debian Stable too (liquorix kernel and Appimage, Flatpak, etc for everything else). I stopped using it because OpenSUSE Tumbleweed works great when I tried for curiosity and stayed. That said, I had a lot of problems with Debian defaults that I didn't have with Tumbleweed or other distros but I guess it is how the distro is built.

[@mona.supremacy]

Imo, Debian's hyperfixation on security makes it progressively less of a selling point for a daily driver as overall stability among unix systems got past the point where major updates often were breaking the system and bugs were significant and very hard to recover from. Declining absolute number of critical bugs makes relative margin between , say, Debian and Linux Mint Debian Edition less of a concern for many users. So I guess people can now afford running less conservative distros with some flavors, innovations and better tooling without having to sacrifice security that much. I for one haven't had to touch Timeshift in years. In those I was daily driving Manjaro, Linux Mint, PopOS, Ubuntu and some others. So with much respect to Debian, I don't see why people would use it for something other than a server.

[@JessicaFEREM]

I'm watching this on my macbook m1

[@OraOraOra]

Brodie's grinding, even got the sleepy eyes. 😄

[@nelind3]

38:45 i love the confusion over gtk + rust right after also talking about eww which is also gtk + rust but not mentioning that at all

[@theDevPanda]

13.7 billion years ago, there was a bang, it was very big

[@shockwave3318]

38:38 eww is gtk 3 and written in rust as well.

[@MrDiarukia]

1:53:35 Are normal people really that bothered by aspect ratio? I often see off-hand comments of how this 21:9 smartphone is good for *cinematic* but you have to *deal* with letter boxes for 16:9 content; or how a 16:10 display is not *suited* for entertainment.

[@bleack8701]

A lot of people don't like black bars

[@anasouardini]

1:05 Good luck automating installation on Debian, I wish Debian has a sane installer like `archinstall`

[@user-ps5up3og2h]

Eh… what? Debian installer fully supports unattended installation via answers file which preseeds debconf questions. See official installation documentation.

[@Sakurina]

brodie get jelly phaseconnect on the show awawawawa

[@anasouardini]

Except for sane people 😆

[@akashp01]

? Have you ever run Debian Stable? Or are you just parroting stuffs? How difficult is it to compile newer versions if you require? Don't you think people wanting a stable base to build their own workflow is sane? What are you even on about? bruh

[@esra_erimez]

JustAGuy tends to not use a script and his videos tend to come off to me as haphazard

[@user-sm1jp4en9u]

I see you in almost every comment section of linux youtube videos😂

[@blahaj___]

@@user-sm1jp4en9u i see her also

Good. That's not a bad thing.
