While I’d personally never install or use this, it good to know its there for the extremely small percentage of people who’ll want or need it…
I never said anything about “tiptoeing around”, but what you said here is correct…
Any distro will “just work” if used correctly…
Isn’t possible to view private instagram accounts, you’ll need to add them as a friend to view their content. 100% of blog post’s & website’s you’ll find on this topic, are SCAMS…
I honestly don’t care about dethroning windows or anything related to it. All that matters to me is that my Linux system works the way I need it to…
I absolutely love how minimalist this looks…
Computer is connected to the router via ethernet. The connection to the router is I believe fiber optics…
Doesn’t have to be every week. Could be every other week or at least once a month. I haven’t used Windows since 2002, but personally, I update once a week, and it never takes all that long, maybe 2-3 minutes tops. But I understand that it’s not for everyone…
Fair enough…
Arch can definitely be a “set & forget” type of distro. Just install it, use it correctly, and that’s really it. No need to upgrade to new releases; just keep the system up to date…
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…
Not every system, no…
Anxiety at its finest !!
Personally, I consider a “bloated system” to be one that has a bunch of installed apps that I’ll never use…
In the past, some people have expressed dissatisfaction when I’ve sent them files in .odt format. However, it’s the superior format in terms of support and functionality, so I always make them aware of that and of the fact that I will never use some shitty ms product…
This was a cool read. Thanks for sharing :) I’ve been an XFCE user since 2002 & can confirm that as a longtime user I’ve never really encountered anything other than a few small problems…

Had some problems while trying to compile and install a WiFi driver for the first time. Managed to find the email of the driver’s creator and sent them a message. They responded a few hours later with incredibly helpful guidance, walking me through the process and enabling me to get it working, all while gaining valuable insights…
Forgot to mention that
mpv
is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…The file
~/.newsboat/urls
contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replaceCHANNEL_ID
with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using
yt-dlp
. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…This binds the
d
key to useyt-dlp
to download videos.
