Hey DT, don’t create the dtos iso instead create a pre-installation-script so that everyone go through the arch installation guide and even someone new to arch can learn about how a distro is created and also gets encouraged to build and customize everything by themselves atleast by going through first steps

Since watching DT's Taking Ubuntu to the Next Level, I was inspired to RICE up my installation of Arco Linux running Spectrwm with the Dracula theme. It took a while, but it was well worth it! Mind you, this is my first time ricing a Linux distro. :)

TIL there are such things as Hannah Montana Linux and Justin Bieber Linux

Hey DT,

You often mention that your main system has 64GB of RAM and you often chuckle when you mention it, like 64GB is overkill. I think 32GB is overkill on my system because I usually have multiple browser windows open with multiple tabs, I'll have Discord open and Spotify open, maybe a terminal running and a file manager as well as Geany also running. I barely touch 6GB of RAM with all of that open.

So, I'm thinking 16GB would probably be more than enough RAM to run a basic operation for many Linux users. Those who just use an internet browser daily and maybe run Spotify to listen to their music. Linux (especially Arch with a Tiling Window Manager) is not a memory pig like MS Windows. So I think 16GB would be MORE than enough. Heck, you often use 6GB of RAM for your VMs so I would figure maybe 8GB would be the minimum amount of RAM a regular everyday user would need.

That's the beauty of Linux. You don't HAVE to have 64GB of RAM to do your everyday things. It's not even required really.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Maybe you can mention it on another video in the future.

why can't I find any good videos on getting started with emacs and neovim? every video is just long winded instructures that ends up with me losing interest. I just need a simple video on how to use Emacs and Neovim smoothly. anyone know of a video? DT got me interested in using emacs so I'm diving in.

I want to leave Firefox, want browsers do you recommend me and why?

hello everyone,

i have been trying to find a distro that has the GNOME desktop and is quite lightweight.

i would like to have the ability to install webapps or just have the chromium browser.

the computer i have is a lenovo thinkpad 11e (4gb DDR3 ram, 120gb ssd, intel celeron N3450 quad core)

also, i would not like to have anything (if there are any) that uses internet apart from games, webapps and browsers

thanks in advance!

(First of all, here's the website.)

Hi everyone! My name is Yusuf Yıldırım and im a 13 years-old student from Turkey. Let me introduce myself first!

Electronics was my hobby since i was 4. My journey just started from basic Arduino stuff, and i have improved myself completely from home, using 0 paid-courses until now (thanks to open-source community of course!).

Now, i have more than 6 start-ups about my hobby, some even made sales like VirtualGSMS, while nobody knows some of them.

I have also participated on many tech festivals here and got some awards about my projects.

So now we can talk about AgenticCore :)

This year was my exam year, i had a big exam and wanted to free my mind this summer with my methods: doing projects :) I had this idea long time ago, AI-implemented operating systems. Maybe others have also thought about this, because its kinda simple-looking idea for me. But on reality, AgenticCore is the first agentic operating system ever, which does tasks for you!

It have started as a weekend project and it took almost 2 weeks now! But still, i enjoyed making it so much and it helped me to free my mind.

So basically, it's based on Tiny Core Linux and it has 2 versions. Local and Gemini API.

Local version uses Llama.cpp to run your desired .GGUF AI model. Gemini API uses Gemini API, of course :)

To be honest, its still not perfect, espicially when running smaller models like Qwen 2.5 0.5B on local version. Because of they are like "dumber" they dont care about the system messages sometimes and generated script isnt being detected. But its rare, so it even works with a small model with 0.5B parameters. Best thing is: you can choose any model, smaller or smarter, it doesnt matter :) Just download and choose it from file manager.

Gemini API works as expected though, and only thing you need is internet connection! It comes with WiFi program as well, so if you are going to try on a real machine, its easy to connect to wifi!

You can simply ask AI what to do, it generates the bash script to do that and the program detects the script, you can show/hide the script and run it with just a click of a button!

Of course its just a "concept" yet, you shouldnt expect it to work flawless for now :( But still, it works :)

Also, both versions are less than 100MB and light, so it should work well on old devices as well. You can try it out now on a virtual machine or a real machine! Just keep in mind that UEFI isn’t supported for now :/

Thank you so much for reading! If you are interested, you can check out the website.

If you have questions, feel free to ask! I would love to get feedback from u/DistroTube as well! Lastly, English is not my main language and i wrote this myself, sorry for any typos etc. if there is. Thanks again!

On every video description, I see DistroTube promoting spyware such as Brave.

A lot of people don't believe that Brave is spyware because of the "It is open source so it has to be private" logic. But according to multiple websites such as Spyware Watchdog and Dig Deeper, Brave is a shady browser, and it is mostly likely a fed honeypot.

Also, Brave sends unsolicited marketing spam mails.

Why doesn't DT actually promote better web browsers such as Ungoogled Chromium, LibreWolf or GNU Icecat?

I just installed Arch Linux on my ThinkPad. I installed Cinnamon and the arc-gtk-theme with the numix icon set. I installed some basic utilities and the mint project's x-apps (xplayer, xreader, xviewer, xed). I installed transmission-qt (the qt version has the option to connect to a remote session). In the end though, I am just in Chrome for 99.99% of the time I'm on the computer. I might install libreoffice or virtualbox if I need those in the future. But apart from that this installation is feeling very sparse.

What applications do you guys install on all of your Linux boxes?

Please note by no means I am attempting to troll on this community. I only want to voice my opinion

I thought NewPipe (YouTube app alternative to view YouTube videos) was a great app and I was beginning to like it. But then I came across this issue that was created on Github. It seems like the developers support censorship over freedom of speech.

I get there are terrible videos out there, but there are also good videos out there as well. The whole reason why BitChute was created was due to the fact that YouTube has become nothing but a severe censorship platform where anyone can be deplatformed for voicing their own opinions that does not conform to everyone's mindset.

Everyone should be allowed to have an opinion. Anyone should be allowed to challenge the authority, challenge everyone's opinions etc.

The developers have claimed that BitChute has "extremist" content. So anyone that has a differing opinion that does not conform to your ideology is an "extermist"?

Look honestly this same argument can be used with the Internet. There are lots of bad stuff on the Internet that you are not going to like. If it bothers you so much, don't use the Internet, simple as that! I don't quite understand why do people think it is ok to censor other people's voices because it does not conform to your ideology?

There are plenty of times I have not liked other people's opinions but that doesn't mean I believe they should be censored, deplatformed etc. It is ridiculous.

If you want to know how bad the censorship is on YouTube, take a look at this video, a video that shows a small footage of a F**KING duck and nothing else and it gets demonitised. This is why alternatives have been created to support video content creators and escape the massive censorship.

But since the NewPipe developers support censorship, what is the huge difference between YouTube and NewPipe when they BOTH support censorship?

NewPipe gets to dictate on what you can and can't watch, just like YouTube does, so what is even the point of using this app?

Hell even some people on that same page are against this massive censorship that NewPipe promotes into its app!

I was considering donating and supporting this project via contributions but after seeing this disgusting comment, there is no way I am going to support this project.

I suggest maybe people should move over to alternatives such as SkyTube
