Just got into linux, currently running Ubuntu, considering hopping to arch at some point but I'm going to continue to learn in Ubuntu for the time being. But your videos have been very comprehensive and helpful and I thank you for covering everything a new user would need to know to get there feet wet. I particularly like your videos because of honesty, consistency, and overall coverage. When I click on a video from you, I am comfortable immediately as you always have the new user in mind and I can not stress enough how thankful I am. :)

can't wait to see you revisit Stump. It's my favourite WM and I am addicted to it =) I would agree it has some difficulties but god is it fun to use - lightweight and super extensible and common lisp is a damn fun language to program in. You can even hook stump up to emacs slime which is the best IDE for common lisp in emacs allowing you to update Stump real time. Still it might be hard to truly love it if you prefer automatic tilers but I'm a manual tiler kinda person anyways, the only other WM I use is herbstluft.

One of the things I'd love in a proper terminal file manager is good support for MTP so I could easily transfer files to and from my phone. Idk why that protocol is such a pain to use but I've used mtp-connect and things like that in the past. It's a pain to be honest. I'd be ok with a lightweight graphical file manager if it could be used with the keyboard like what you showed. For that kind of use simple use case you often have to use bloated file managers like dolphin or nautilus.

Maybe i'm just a little outdated, but didn't you say that Openbox was one of your faves a while ago? what happened?
also, for the web browser, I be usin' Opera. the File manager program varies but I mainly switch between Dolphin, Nautilus, and PCmanFM (i don't use the qt version).
Also, (you being a FOSS zealot and all [forgive me if I'm wrong about that]) I thought you'd have the Librem 5 or something like that.

While watching your video, I had a software idea. Something simple to map to a shortcut. It would read the clipboard and -insert- the files as drag and drop even into current window. This way you can grab anything in your terminal with xclip and then insert the files into a graphical application.
What do you think? If I wasn't busy with another project, I would do it.

Why i dont use brave? -Brave has been redirecting searches to crypto companies to affiliate links that give it a commission.- The CEO has since apologized and said he'd never do it again but... if he thinks thats acceptable, what else does he think is acceptable that we dont know about right now?

anyone have an issue with VLC? it crashes every time I use it so I have to close the process in the terminal. I'm using Manjaro KDE, had the same issue with VLC in Windows but on Linux is crashes every time.

The # key in mpv should cycle audio tracks. For the more obscure binds I sometimes look up the manual on the website. (although now that I look at the man page, it seems to mention the same stuff)

I might be kind of new to Linux in general, but how do you get that colorful topbar? Looks kind of nice and would also like to have that if it's possible.
