Live May 3, 2018 - My 200th Video and a New Graphics Card
This episode marks a minor milestone for my channel--my 200th video in a little less than seven months. In this stream, I'll discuss some recent purchases I've made to help improve the channel. I may also talk about my experiences living in tiling WMs this past month. Also, I may discuss my future as far as social media, plus other randomness.
Nitrux is a Debian-based Linux distribution that does some unique things. First, they have a customized KDE Plasma desktop that is simple and attractive. Second, they have swapped out a lot of the standard KDE apps for MauiKit apps. And third, they have several appImages installed out of the box.

Apparently, all we needed to make Mastodon more popular was for Elon Musk to buy Twitter. But is this a good thing? Are all these new Mastodon users going to be happy on Mastodon? I have some thoughts on this situation.

One of the most negative reviews that I have ever given a Linux distribution was my video a couple of months ago on LinuxFX, a Windows 11 clone. LinuxFX has mostly proprietary software installed, including a bunch of Microsoft products. It also comes with its own "LinuxFX" tools that are all closed source, proprietary software. And like Windows, LinuxFX requires users to "activate" a license. Well, there's a problem with that...

I ramble on for quite some time in this video, mostly about some of my mistakes over the past eleven months regarding this YouTube channel, staying engaged with the community, and how I've mismanaged Patreon.

I've spent the last two days living in "dwm" again, mainly working a build for DTOS. I've patched it to include some important functionality that I think is critical--especially adding support for keychords!
