    I see you changed from the curved monitor you used to have on the desk in previous videos. I currently also have had what's basically an HDTV with multiple inputs for many years, and it's been awesome being able to switch between devices like that, even watching actual TV... though mine is "only" 26 inches. Also: I recognize Subnautica, as I've been playing that all summer.

    My home computer has 8GB RAM from when it still used Microsoft Windows 10. Now that it permanently uses GNU/Linux instead I will soon buy a 4GB RAM chip to downgrade my RAM so that I am forced to better optimize my games.
    Its first Linux installation used Linux Mint, and its second one used Debian with LXDE desktop enviroment.
    Now I re-installed Debian but I use a minimal Openbox Window Manager setup so that I don't have excess programs and UIs on my home computer:
    Complete with the solid black wallpaper and no taskbar and no possibility for desktop icons and no real file manager (I use the built-in file management commands) and no trashbin and no graphical login screen.
    And I also don't need a compositor, since I want the graphics card to focus more on rendering the programs themselves and less the stuff around them that I barely pay attention to.

      @@finnsaile659 This is old already, but have you had any luck finding that usb switch? I'm looking for something similar and I cannot work out from the video how DevDuck is doing this. If he just hooks up the tv to a mac and has a usb switch as well, that'd be two cabled per laptop - not really that practical. Not to mention both his keyboard and mouse being BT, changing those between all the deivces using BT, while possible, cannot be the most streamlined. I'd really love to see some in-depth explanation on that.

    Wow I am watching this on my main TV while trying to figure out my set up because I actually bought that same TV for the same reasons. Right now I have a MacBook Air no cable set up I’m using screen mirroring but I am trying to figure out how to set my settings on the TV and at some point I need to get a new computer set up and everything. I have a friend that would love to learn more about your fish set up, as for me I love the flow and tone of your video and the detail that you were giving. I don’t know how your other videos are but this video has caused me to hit the subscription button. As far as my purpose, I am brand new to game dev, And I am working in unity. I would very much like to learn how to get everything set up the way you have it as far as your display hiding icons and stuff like that because I am very worried about burn in. I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend on stuff so I’m limited in that area at the moment. I grew up on windows so I know the window system moderately well however while I’m trying to learn game development I’m also trying to learn how to use a Mac. I’ll have to look in a little bit but if there’s a way to communicate to you that would be absolutely fantastic! Not ask 1 million questions but may be a few in like a discord or some thing. GREAT VIDEO!
