Sometimes…
I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat along with yt-dlp to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…
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…

I can see how that would be problematic. Hopefully that’ll never happen to me…
This has never happened to me, well at least not yet. The only thing that’s ballsed up recently is Nvidia drivers…
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…
Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍
xfce4-terminal has always been my go-to terminal. It may not be the lightest or the best, but it does have some neat built-in features like opening a drop-down window…
I can make Firefox use way too much resources simply by visiting an Instagram profile & opening the toolbox on a few posts to inspect the code…
I’ve never used mint myself, but I’ve heard good things about it. Last time I used Ubuntu on actual hardware was around 2008 I think. For the most part I’ve been using either Arch, Debian or Fedora…
A friend of a friend tried daily driving Ubuntu recently & had a few problems (some of which were gaming related). They eventually switched to Linux Mint and pretty much most of their problems seemed to disappear…
See I only got lag & crashes on windows, when on my Arch install I had/have no problems whatsoever. I haven’t used windows since 2002 & don’t really plan on doing so any time soon, the install was just to quickly see what windows 10 was like compared to Linux…
I’ve had people tell me that they experience better performance running games on Linux through Proton compared to running them natively on Windows. A while back, I decided to try Windows for the first time since 2002 on actual hardware. With TF2, I encountered significantly more crashes & lag compared to running it on my Arch install…
If I can’t view a website in Firefox, then I probably don’t want to view it anyway. If I really must visit it then I’ll change the user agent…
Literally no Linux user ever…
For the most part I use ncmpcpp with mpd, but sometimes whenever I just want to listen to a single file I use mpv --no-video instead…
These are the reasons why I would consider installing Nobara over Fedora…
Not upgrading your system for like 6 months is a really bad practice that should not be recommended ever. If you don’t want to upgrade your system all that often, then why not install something like Debian instead of a rolling distro?
There’s nothing wrong with using something like KDE. I myself use XFCE. Use whatever you like and are comfortable with…
Forgot to mention that
mpvis 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/urlscontains URLs similar to the one below. Just replaceCHANNEL_IDwith 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
dkey to useyt-dlpto download videos.
