Never even thought about that. Guy I follow on YouTube sells it (NetworkChuck) but I'm pretty sure he's relabelling products for resale tbh.

that's weaksauce. lol
its way more fun to learn to do something yourself :) network chuck sounds lazy~
Brother is just drinking too much of it. He's seriously wired. I love his enthusiasm for teaching tech, but I gotta have a few cups myself before I can handle him.
hahaha. just taking a guess at it, i thought about looking at his channel and thought oh if this is some guy thats wired on too much soy and trans rights im just not gonna like it given that im already winding down and we need more normal people in the world. but i'll check it out at some point
He's a born again Christian, but he doesn't push that either. Just straight tech and coffee obsession. I promise.
well I'm a Christian so I dont mind that part, but okay as long as he's not a pain to listen to i'll look... most youtube presenters are highly disorganized.
I get ya. Or they're lazy. LTT has been going downhill quick imo on that point.
Chuck started as a professional educator for CCNA, etc. and left that to do YouTube for free because he believes it can change lives and it's easy to get into without a degree, etc.
Let me know what you think. I'll be curious to hear your evaluation after you've had time to check him out some day.
i will poke more at it some day but only because you asked, my attention span for such things is usually why doesnt someone just write a man page about it?
versus having me sit through this person talking about it, and then involve my visual cortex with all the things they're doing then toggle back and forth... its flipping exhausting.
:) being an effective communicator is hard and takes a lot of practice.
I've been technologically regressing. I spent years scrolling YouTube and using Visual Studio, then paired down to books and CLion...
Now I'm learning to code in Vim and seriously eyeing tiling window managers and using the CLI for almost everything. I don't think I realized how many distractions were in my life.
I haven't regressed to man pages yet, but it could happen.
wmaker and blackbox.... :)
or xmonad but its too much of a "both" to actually be effective.
i think vim is for people that hate themselves, why do you need a set of seperate keys every time you want to run a command? lol.
i enjoy the CLI, but i also enjoy a gui that doesnt get in the way.
i prefer my books on paper in front of me. 👌🏿
i learned linux from manpages and f around and find out. when i started back in high school
I'm Plasma on Arch for now, Yakuake for a always-on terminal. Been looking at hyprland for a few days, but I'm not ready to change just yet.
Went through a Gentoo phase. Loved the result, hated maintaining it. But yeah, my first was Slackware on floppies. Those were brilliant and rough days all at once.
i just use debian 11... and its straight forward enough.. xfce4..
i want a terminal i just click F1 and there is tilda..
guyake is too resource intensive..
xfce is super clean.
I really enjoy it. I switched over when gnome became unusable around 2010. recently in the past few years i had a few issues to iron out with lightdm vs the others, and i think wayland kinda screwed things up but i think they learned and fixed it
We agree on Gnome for sure then. I shouldn't have to install a tweak tool to minimize a window.
just looked. talks too fast for me. :)
