"Hey, DT. You Need A Better Studio!" (Plus Other Comments I Get)

[@lucasteixeira5346]

I watch so many DT’s videos that sometimes I have the impression that I actually know him and we are going to go out next Friday to have a beer and talk about FOSS. That’s weird

[@lucasteixeira5346]

@Matt M I was joking, man. But thanks for the diagnosis hahahaa

I couldn't possibly care less what your videos *look* like, whether it's a studio or the corner of a home office. It's what you *say* that keeps me coming back. So as long as you stay you, all will be well.

[@Mach7RadioIntercepts]

Hey DT, don't trash your studio - it is fine. Video and sound are fine, and it is part of the DT brand. All you need is a future full of good content and the world will turn.

[@MrRenanwill]

I agree with you exchanging terms for proprietery garbage, mainly because Im not fluent in english and want to learn more about the english language. If you think so, you can be very eloquent and verbose when you say things about Linux.

Ubuntu is the friendliest app store. if you can do two things in Windows; open the folder - programs files, open the folder documents or music; this means you will have no problem using Ubuntu)

Hello DT. Sir, you are so helpful. I am a Linux user AND a Cybersecurity student. You are so helpful. THANK YOU so very much.

[@mjdxp5688]

A software center can be nice, but it's always gonna be slower than using a terminal. At first it may seem extremely difficult, but it's actually so much easier and faster to type. I only really use a software center to look for programs I don't know about. I personally think the Linux Mint software manager is rather nice though, it's always been pretty smooth for me.

[@praetorxyn]

Working from home (something I've technically been able to do for as long as I've been a software developer, but managers wouldn't let me do it) has made this pandemic amazing for me.

[@TangoFoxtrotWhiskey]

I've been work from home for 16 months or so now. Never want to go back to an office.

[@praetorxyn]

Tom Faulkner OH definitely. No wasted time commuting, keep my own schedule (meetings aside), no uncomfortable clothes or dress code, etc.

[@siaal5001]

It's really interesting to see which particular program *you* use because I know that you've tried out all the alternatives and you've weighed the comparison of the pros and cons for what works for you. Certainly what works for you might not work for me but understanding your thought process willl usually help give me insight.

[@marioschroers7318]

Dot command is the first thing you learn in this book, Practical Vim, and it's one of the most impressive features I've ever found in any software. I also love Visual Mode in all its forms as well as applying digits to perform any edit n number of times. Vim is ingenious. I love it!

[@RockawayCCW]

Proprietary Crapola?

[@riseabove3082]

I really enjoy your videos DT. I appreciate your honesty and how well you explain things. Hope you find a good office space.

[@Jeff_Seely]

Sweet video here. I liked the Q&A surrounding your typical WM Manager toolkit. I had these questions also. I have DTOS running but was wondering about the finer points of what you had to install and configure. Thanks Derek!

[@cameronhelmuth7290]

If you hate the cli... try Manjaro... you don’t have to open a terminal at all if you are the average user.

[@samjiman]

Manjaro is a good choice, you still have access to most of the Arch stuff with a lower barrier of entry. I'm running on my my main system but Ubuntu or my laptop as I couldn't get it working out of the box on that.

Hey DT, can you talk about your keyboards, different sizes and layouts, the split keeb in the back and which switches you prefer.

[@_yuri]

dt's keeb is bloated too many keys get a corne kit. only 42 keys to make it wireless you can get a couple of nicenanos.

[@sohn7767]

keyboards are bloat, I type with my brain

[@twb0109]

[@Jaredthedude1]

He's talked about them to some extent before. The one in the background is the one he uses, it's an ergo dox.

[@ad_sidera_virgines]

Not a hardware note, but I don't like any software keyboard layout (the symbol placements) so I went ahead and done my own layout based over the US one I guess. The only good thing is when someone tries to write with on my computer, he doesn't understand why letters are correct but not symbols ^^

[@Chr0n0s38]

I will say a benefit to the GUI app store is that they combine multiple package managers. The Gnome Software app gives one interface for your distro's package manager (for most distros), flatpak, and snap. It would be convenient if there was a CLI application that could combine all 3.

[@torsten.breswald]

a video about that polkit and session stuff would be nice, i keep struggling with these

[@watermelon58]

I am a returning linux user trapped in Windows for a few years never heard of your channel but since coming back to GNU/Linux. I have thoroughly enjoyed your content and insights keep up the good work

[@TangoFoxtrotWhiskey]

Hey DT, I am also in Louisiana and dealt with hurricane Laura. I'm curious as to what part of the state you are in. I know Lake Charles got wrecked, so I assume you aren't there. My area, Monroe, lost power for about as long as you did. Anyway, I hope you are doing well and wish you luck on the home search.

Hey DT, Apple appstore is very slow. I’m macos and Linux user, linux softwares install wayy faster

[@WafflesOinc]

Yes

[@RonnieNissan]

TBh, elementary os app store works perfectly every time.

[@bdbunes]

I'll ask my question here. Hey D.T., are there any pros or cons to moving your dotfiles to a single directory, using said directory for git, and then creating symbolic links to where the dotfiles are needed?

[@TangoFoxtrotWhiskey]

I did that for awhile. Using a shell script to create all of the symlinks. DT shared GNU Stow awhile back. I switched to it, it makes things a little more convenient. But either way works.

[@ButImFeelingMuchBetterNow]

Or try a bare git repository. I'm pretty sure DT also did a video on that. There's also a few other videos on it. No need to symlink with a bare repository.

[@samjiman]

DT isnt saying its garbage technically, he thinks its garbage because its proprietary and not open to community changes. It's an ideological position.

[@twb0109]

Yeah, it's garbage for him and that's alright

[@user-he4ef9br7z]

He's damn serious, he's kept his guns behind him.

[@AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you, Derek. Yes, app stores suck. Synaptic is pretty good for a GUI. But apt is best.

[@anshsrivastava1059]

If it is slow in virt-manager, change CPU model to host-passthrough and enable SMT by adding a line in the XML file. For graphics, if you have a second GPU, that'll give you the best graphics acceleration or single GPU passthrough. To avoid having to do this everytime, just create one VM and then keep cloning it.

[@SamuTheFrog]

I quite enjoy using nala as my apt frontend Not only does it sound cool to say/type "nala" but it also looks quite nice to me.

[@leviticus8930]

[@enderger5308]

Is there a way to alias ‘# ’ to sudo and ‘$ ’ (with the space being important in both) to empty space (or perhaps bash itself)?

[@Your_Degenerate]

Isn't the Ubuntu software store thingy a snap? That would probably explain the slow comment especially the first impression of any snap. I thought the software I was trying failed to launch and a minute or two later it suddenly popped on screen. If you're not expecting that it can be very frustrating.

[@rockdie9522]

Hey DT, how you deal with audio output on a fresh arch install. Assuming that you have many outputs.

When installing Arch, what should you install to mount USB drives? How should you configure that app?

[@Alx-gj2uz]

Hey DT: Im into linux something like 2 years now. And I like a lot about linux, but I still have a pitfall im allways running into. I try to open stuff with a graphical editor and I dont have the rights to write it. So I have to close my editor, reopen it with root, then my linux of joice is offcourse compliain that its uper unsafe. I don't kind of get this, why is it so hard to prompt me for elevating my rights? Vscode is able to do it (sorry for mentioning vscode). But I think there must be some reasoning behind it why it can not elevate me on a try. Is it just not "common", or what is it all behind. I appreciate your answer, maybe in another video ;) @Edit Love your content ;)

[@hopelessdecoy]

I'm ok with the App stores, they are much better for discovering new apps you didn't know you wanted. Synaptic is great and my backup option, but it's surfing/discoverability for new/small/lesser known apps is pretty low with it just being a fast and stable item list browser with no icons or pictures and simple descriptions. Also proprietary is not preferred but I think the developer has the freedom to choose how to distribute their app just like we have the freedom to choose to download it. As long as the base Linux tools/libs/frameworks are FOSS I don't care. I use both.

[@curtprasky3440]

Hey DT, proprietary software doesn't equal poo! (lol)

[@akshatvats7992]

Proprietary poo :D

[@debasishraychawdhuri]

The reason DT thinks all propreitary software is garbage because he only installs software and configures them. He does not actually use software to get things done (not too much anyway, I know he does a little bit of video editing). Some things have open source support that is better than proprietary alternatives. Somethings lack open source software. If you think GIMP is as good as Photoshop, you have never used Photoshop or GIMP properly.
