  1. Hey DT. It's been 4 years since your last Guix video. Have you tried Guix again?
    By the way, I'm also on the "bald by choice". More than a decade shaving my head, I don't even remember how my hair actually looks like 🀣

  2. Hey DT, you mentioned you don't have a TV, so what do you do in your spare time, or is it just Linux 24/7 ? Great video by the way and thanks for telling the lunatics to go F themselves LOL

  3. I used to use linux when I was in college, but after that I was a full-time windows user except for my work. The. I wanted to install linux in one of my old laptops and your videos were my inspiration. Now I'm an arcolinux user and a full-time linux advocate

  4. Can't people see politics in the US is BS? The Rs and Ds work for the same billionaires. Once in a lifetime you might get a decent politician like Ron Paul.

  5. Your software beliefs are political, I would say very extremely political, to the point I have asked you before to make more technical videos and less soapbox. It's funny to hear you talk about not caring about politics when I have always considered your videos the same direction as myself but so extreme I have to take a break from watching. Maybe you have a different definition of what political means, but your software beliefs, lectures, and rants are very much political. Mostly, I don't care because I have similar beliefs. But the lack of self-awareness here is amusing.

  6. I know a few channel owners that actually have a Discord server set up specifically to send out notifications for their YouTube channel and no other reason because Discord's notification system is so reliable

  7. One thing everybody can do is stop using the feed. Clean up your subscription list and instead of using the regular feed, use the subscription feed. This way you can stay up to date with your favorite creators with the added benefit that youtube has less control over your decision making and isn't brainwashing you every step of the way

  8. I have a RTX-4090 and it works rather well with the latest kernel and proprietary drivers. Next big release is supposed to be open sourced driver and the proprietary driver is going to be depreciated. Not sure which model Nvidia card you have on hand at home. But you should be able to get it working.

  9. 1:22 Same, but only for stock GNOME. I use PaperWM and, for me, it's the best of both worlds.
    "Both worlds" being tiling and stacking window management.
    I would use Cardboard but I'm tired of rolling my own polkits and notification centers that don't work together (Still glad I learned with sway and hyprland)

  10. been watching for years, fellow voluntary bald man. yea shaving your head is just more efficient and hygienic. i like that in the summer i just take my hat off and its like instant AC. i work in kitchens so having hair means you gotta wear a hat and its hot in there. would be funny to see you with hair at some point would probably throw me off lol

  11. Small thing for your Hyprland issues, it might be that you are missing the nvidia-drm.modeset=1 kernel flag alongside the no hardware cursor setting in the Hyprland config:
    cursor {

    no_hardware_cursors = true
    }

    Hope this helps you get Hyprland to run. If you did that already, then idk, nvidia….

  12. Idk why people assume if your not using Wayland you must hate it or protesting it. In my case I have an old Nvidia card in a ThinkPad that is stuck on a legacy driver. Linux Mint was the first distro to not give me a total black screen with Wayland. And its experimental. Mint ftw. But until its final I have to use Xorg because, while Mint works, it still has some missing stuff. It is experimental. Put simply. Some of us use Xorg because its all that will work on our machines. My machine has 8 threads, 32GB of RAM and is perfectly fine to run. And should not be forced into obsolescence for the sake of Wayland. And Imma keep it working for as long as I can. I want to move to Wayland. I simply cannot yet. I think a lot of Wayland advocates are not taking these things into consideration. Not all, but many.

  13. I always have had Nvidia GPU since the end of 90s but I have never had major issues with Nvidia on Linux. Maybe I'm just Lucky. Currently I use hyprland on my old old quadro m4000 card and I have no issue with hyprland at all. I use hyprland for about a year now and nothing…

  14. I appreciate your stance on separating software from politics, but it seems in conflict with your view on using Firefox. You use the politics of Mozilla's leadership as the final straw for why you stopped using it and recommend others do the same. Don't get me wrong, as a daily user, I know there are plenty of issues with Firefox as a piece of software, but these issues have nothing to do with politics.

    I don't aim to convince you either way (I couldn't even if I tried) but I don't think there is more merit in not liking Firefox for its creator's politics than in people complaining about the politics of some distro you've showcased.
