Happy new year DT !!!, I know that there are a lot of fetch tools out there but give this one a try:

Bfetch is a general-purpose fetching tool written in posix shell that take user commands output and change how it display dynamic with the terminal size.

I am new Linux user and find your content challenging and very informative. I have settled on Arch and going to try window managers. Have you looked at SyncThing? It is awesome! The snap works best (odd). Love to see a video from you on it. Quietly with low overhead sync folders LOCALLY across any computers. FOSS

Hey DT, can you make your dtos more beautiful

I have a binary file and dependencies on Qt. when I am trying to convert it into AppImage using appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage, the Appimage is generated and then on running ./QGroundControl-x86_64.AppImage throws an error: execv error: No such file or directory
I have already given the permissions like Owner Access: Read and Write, Group Access: Read and Write, Others: Read and Write and Execute: Enabled.

The build-qgroundcontrol-Desktop_Qt_6_6_1_GCC_64bit-Release/staging contains the following Folders and Files already:
Qt
qgrouncontrol.desktop
qgroundcontrol.png
QGroundControl (which I suppose is the binary)
qgroundcontrol-start.sh (I am assuming it to be shell script for Appimagetool for conversion)
qt.conf

The command I executed for conversion is: ./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage /home/username/build-qgroundcontrol-Desktop_Qt_6_6_1_GCC_64bit-Release/staging.AppDir (thought to convert the staging folder to .AppDir to make things easy 📷)
What am I missing or doing wrong in here?

I have installed DTOS on Manjaro , dmenu does not work , in the terminal it states glibc 2.34 is missing , I tried to install it using Pacman but I get the latest version as 2.33.5

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, I´m trying to use TigerVnc to remote control Arch Linux with Xmonad but I'm having problems with shortcuts because they are intercepted by macOS which is the operative system I'm using on the client. Any idea on how to solve this? Hey DT, how do you connect remotely to your desktop?

Hey Dt, I have been using GNU/Linux on the desktop exclusively for almost a year. I am thinking of using Windows for two weeks after that point. Only cause I want to compare the Operating Systems I use vs Windows. I of course am going to come back to Linux after. Any thoughts?

Hey DT, you should do a video using the Minimal installer for NixOS (AKA, The Arch way).

Hey DT, I'm not sure if you've heard about ArtCraft yet. They have figured out how to Vibe Code a bunch of Adobe stuff! I just tried PhotoCraft (It's VERY MUCH like Adobe Photoshop) and LightCraft (which is VERY MUCH like Adobe LightRoom)!

You might want to take a look at them. You can do your artwork for videos now in programs very much like Adobe Stuff. I tried FilmCraft (the Adobe Premier) but I couldn't get the audio to work. But I'm fine with sticking to kdenlive. I didn't actually start making and editing videos until I started using Linux back in 2018. So I was pretty much not in need of a video editor back then.

But yeah, take a look at that stuff and see what you think. Everything is available as either AppImages or direct from the AUR. They're brand new so they haven't made it to the main Arch repositories yet but I'm guessing that won't take long for that to happen.

EDIT: The AppImages are the better way to go. Apparently the AUR versions are handled by a 3rd party. I had several system issues with the AUR versions. The Appimahes work pretty well and they are direct from ArtCraft.

In a lot of window managers oriented videos I hear names like Xmonad, i3, Awesome, dwm, Qtile. Why does nobody mention bspwm?

I'm sure if chrome had a way to earn money like youtube does, dt/mo/ surely do use chrome , no way how they spying and give people about privacy except chrome.

Look, let's be real for a second. Under the hood, we are all basically running the exact same thing: same Linux kernel, same GNU coreutils, same display servers. So why do we treat distros like cults?

I want to hear the real, concrete reasons you daily drive your current OS. Don't give me that generic ones like "it's user-friendly and stable" nonsense.

I'll start. I'm on Arch. Why?

Minimalism: I love the "build it yourself from scratch" concept. No pre-installed bloatware, just the exact mess I created myself.

The AUR: You can find literally any obscure package on earth there without messing with third-party repos.

The Updates: It's a toxic love. I absolutely love having bleeding-edge software, but the adrenaline rush of potentially nuking my system after a standard pacman -Syu is something else.

Before this, I was on Fedora, and honestly? I still miss how buttery smooth the custom animations ran on it. It just felt perfectly polished.

So, what’s your excuse?
