I've been doing this now for over a year. I've had a lot of fun and I've learned a lot of new things both about how to make videos and about myself.
I think in that year, I have gotten better at making videos. I look back on the earlier stuff, and it seems way worse.
It's hard, however, during slow months -- when views are down and thing seem to have plateaued -- to keep ...

2021-10-05 05:52:21 +0000 UTC View PostI've been having some problems lately on Arco, where my keyboard disconnects for some reason. I thought maybe it was the board itself, but the same thing happens on two other boards. So, I've decided to distrohop for the first time in months.
The first stop later this evening will be Garuda. I chose that because it's Arch based and a lot of people seem to like it. If that doesn't pan out, I don't know where I'll head. Maybe Sparky or one of those Debian based distros. MX maybe. 2021-10-04 23:38:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Matt and Tyler talk about Artix, Plan9, Gnome and GTK, Installing your own kernel, and why people are so loyal to their distros.

I have not made the server public yet. Right now it's just patrons and several people from Tyler's server. I will probably wait a week or so to post the link to everyone else, just to make sure that I've got the permissions right. I've had some help with that so they should be fine.

If you're going to be proprietary, at least do it with class. Vivaldi should at least not boast of their 'mostly open source' base if they're going to then poo poo on one of the greatest reasons to be open source.

I really don't expect to have much to say about the distro itself. It's just another Arch based distro, which I use every day and everyone basically knows my thoughts on already. I only put it in the poll because it was requested....
