If you ask me I'd say firefox is supporting Adons because of googles recent wrong behaviours hurting overall users. Google is building a foundation to make a war against the most used extensions. Firefox will be there to save us.
A shame endevour has removed those community installation because the developers no longer maintaining the project :/ they were great if you wanted an arch distro with a preconfigured DE... At least we still have i3 Since last year I started using arch with sway, but when I started with DE I used the bspwm edition and it worked great. Also looking forward to add ons on firefox android. I mostly watch youtube videos on my pc because I use ublock with a lot of filters to block certain channels and videos that I'm not interested that appears on my feed, recommendations and searches (and even If on the android app I touch on "Not interested" option, they keep appearing...)
I switched from Manjaro to EndeavourOS and even installed Arch the Arch way at least once, to see what the fuss is all about. :-) And I must say, EndeavourOS is fantastic and closer to Arch than Manjaro is (and with less problems with the AUR). However I would only recommend it if one can work on the terminal as well, as the old slogan said it's a terminal focused distro. As for the versioning, I don't know if it makes sense to have versions on a rolling release. It's just a snapshot of the day. They don't hold features or updates until next "release" or so. But then, they also give names... which makes no sense to me.
It’s not just updating packages though, they make customizations and they have their own tools and configurations separate from arch. I don’t think version numbers are important regardless just so you can identify whether you have downloaded the correct iso or not. Ubuntu’s version system is perfect for a rolling release in my opinion. This version could just be 23.11 because basing it on the month and year it was released ensures no version conflicts and it also means it doesn’t really matter when it gets released 😁
The "releases" are of the ISO, not the OS, and also why they can use names instead of numbers. In case you haven't noticed the release names mirror human "endeavors" (US english)!
@@Bob-of-Zoid It's a good point its about the ISO, not the OS itself. That's exactly why I don't see any point in giving it release versions. It's enough to identify the ISO on date of creation, basically what Michael suggested with the Ubuntu like versioning. I understand it's kind of a milestone to update the current ISO. Especially for marketing some kind of identification makes sense. I'm personally not a fan of these names for every release, but that's just a personal preference and it does not matter in a functional way. My problem with this is, that people might get confused. It's a rolling release through and through and after installing and updating the system, its no longer in the state of the ISO. There is no software targeting a specific ISO version. That is different from Ubuntu, where people install and even after an update, they are still on the same version of Ubuntu. People even get confused with the holding packages back of Manjaro. I expect a non versioning like openSUSE Tumbleweed. The blog post can still talk about their efforts and changes since the last ISO upload. I didn't know Michael did contributions to EndeavourOS. What kind of contributions were these?
Best part of the video, HandBreak. A wonderful software. A must have in your tool box. Thanks for the other content, i am also scared for my wallet with the Steam part. See you
Ive use handbrake in the past and it's easy to use. Makes transcoding easy to start with. This days I use ffmpeg from the command line for the flexibility and since that's what handbrake uses anyway.
@@GoolagThemTube It sure is fun, especially when you get unexpected effects, you can easily undo! There's a whole lot in the "Path Effects" section I still need to explore.
Thanks, but I think I'll stay with the FBReader. On your mention, I checked if Calibre is in the Mint repo (it is) and I installed it. 1. It's huge, and it includes a lot of things I don't think are necessary for a book reader. 2. It wants to create a unique folder, and have all your ebooks only in that folder. It wants to get those ebooks itself, from its own trusted source. It doesn't want other apps like Libre Office or FBReader to be able to get into that folder. It doesn't want to use a folder you already have with ebooks in it, it doesn't like that old stuff... I don't know if it has a book-store like an Apple product, where you can only get books that are for sale, through iTunes (equivalent) I didn't get that far in. It came off my system again in less than 10 minutes. It must be free and open source software or it wouldn't be in the Mint repo, but it sure as Hell doesn't feel like free & open source software. It feels exactly like Micro$oft or Apple. It's not trying to help you do things, except maybe spend money. It's trying to prevent you doing those things the cheap & easy & open way.
nvidia probably weigh up the advantages of having an OS driver against getting non OS compatible code that they've probably licensed from other companies out of the code base. They're probably a bit worried about allowing amd and intel to view any advanced code in their driver. probably less the latter and more the former because licenses can get very tangled in closed source software esp when parts of the driver code is probably 20+ years old at this point
What I am still missing in distroxbox and toolbox also went this route now is that you can not isolate your home directory and it also doesn’t work with another user to kind try to avoid getting those mixed up
I meant like the smash button. It's my way of saying the other but I like to be different for no reason at all. The crazy thing about it though is I have been saying it this weird way for about 200 episodes and it's actually harder for me to say it the right way now LOL

Ayone here knows a good linux distro for a windows laptop, that does not drain the battery in like 2 hours, usually i have like 4 to 5 hours with windows, same usage 😅
literally every Linux distro you put on that laptop will perform better and provide longer battery life than Windows. This is because Linux is overall much lighter OS and it is also much more power efficient. With that said, it depends on what kind of user experience do you want. You can go lightweight yet super powerful with something based on KDE like Kubuntu or you could go with something super lightweight but not as powerful like LXQt with Lubuntu.
@@michael_tunnell Linux is a lot lighter and more efficient, the problem lies at P states. My laptop which I use for studying. When I installed Manjaro, my battery life was 2 hours compared to running windows 5-6 hours, and I can only point my fingers at my CPU, cause it was running at 3.6ghz and even 4. meanwhile AMD on windows 1.6ghz. That said if the 6.6 kernel is running it does get better and the power tools can definitely help get it past 8 hours battery.
I don’t like to recommend Manjaro these days because they have a bunch of clunky issues too often and they yelling at their own community on the forum is not a good look. Also Manjaro is far from optimized honestly especially in power management.
@@michael_tunnell I have just been taking a look at Manjaro and I agree with you. I take it back. I just remembered my time with Manjaro a few years back.
I find it very easy to not overbuy games during sales. I dont have time to play them anyway. Dont see the problem. I mostly only buy games that are below 10 euros or usd. You have to wait for a long time for those pesky AAA games to get below that. But its not a big deal.
I hate that inkscape insists on gtk, it used to have a win32 gui in the 0.92.5 release. But now it's gone. Gtk is a thick and ugly interface that takes up a lot of space. They might as well make it qt. But they don't do that either. It also makes me very sad that they remove the sliders in the brush settings and persist in this and no one makes a fork.
switching from GTK to Qt would be very hard because they would need to switch the programming language involved in making it and that is a difficult thing to do. I agree though, I would much rather see a Qt version instead.
To play the devil's advocate, on the NVidia drivers topic "who are you competing now ? All other GPUs have open source drivers" is totally not an argument. It's like saying "hey, look, those who are far behind you already showed the tricks they're using, why don't you show them too?" To be clear, I don't support NVidia at all, I hate how shady and greedy they are. I'm just saying that the argument above is senseless, it's not an actual argument. You know who has a reputation of bad video drivers ? AMD and Intel with ARC. Can you make the argument that NVidia won't help their competition (possibly massively) by making their drivers open source ? Until this point is moot, NVidia will have an incentive to NOT open source their drivers. Fortunately AMD and Intel are both making good progress, so we might actually get there. Or maybe Nouveau will progress until they get good for games too, who knows ?
We have a ton of "holidays" here in the US of A. Capitalism's gotta make some money somehow ya know. I don't mind them. A day off from work is a day off from work, and that's all I care about. Oh, and I get paid for every holiday while sitting home.
@niemand123 I have never addressed religion on this channel or any of my podcasts. I also have no intention to do so because it is irrelevant to my channel and to the content.
@bogotrazelj please be more kind. I don’t understand why you decided to belittle someone for asking for clarification especially considering it is very valid to request a source of information portrayed as fact. Also this channel is viewed by 70% Non-Americans so the claim about being primarily American is incorrect. I mentioned the holiday because I’m American and I wanted to. There is no other reason than that.
