huh ... I'd never heard of that. I'll do some reading. Thanks for sharing!

You know what, you're probably right. I don't even remember because I'm using aerospace on my mac for tiling haha. Before that I was using amethyst, and before that yabai.

I'll admit Bash is syntactically a little awkward, but with a little practice you can get used to its quirks. I also don't recommend going all the way through every advent of code problem and their part 2 problem. Just a handful of the early ones (days 1 to 5 maybe), assuming you've got a little past scripting or programming experience, can build some familiarity pretty quickly. But for the folks who are brand new to scripting, maybe I'll do a follow up video covering the basics and how I'll approach advent day 1.

Yeah somehow I forgot about that during the video. I'm still a much bigger fan of how Glaze handles it because I've come from an i3 environment. Thanks for the comment :D

@@nathanlaundry the tiling is pretty cool, but what windows offers is enough for me for now. thanks for the research and info!

Thank you! Yeah, I have a ton of fun just doin nerdy linux things. Vanilla Vim is honestly so much fun to use once you learn the features and then the features stay relevant even with a totally kitted out neovim config with tons of plugins. Definitely one of my best learning investments ever was reading practical vim. Full disclaimer, I have read that book cover to back, but it's been a while and i've forgotten a ton. I really want to work on my macros this time around. Glad to have you aboard!

@@nathanlaundry I always say that vim is a one of those "metroidvanias" where you unlock things and you can go further where before you simple could not (eg, understand what weird mode you were in, or a cryptic error message, something that you have used 9999 times now has a new meaning and the depth just expands) and its exciting!

ahh thanks for letting me know! I'll fix those ASAP!

Thank you! Glad ya liked it :D

Thank you! Ahh thanks for sharing, that's helpful to know :D I have noticed "use hardware cursor" on a lot of games these days. I'm a bit of a boomer though and play some older games so I like to turn it off just in case. I actually played a ton of black ops 2 back in the day lol. I also just dislike the feeling of it even on my desktop tbh.

@@nathanlaundry Haha no problem & yeah fair enough, I think its years of muscle memory that keep me turning it back on for desktop use because I do notice the odd game that doesn't bode well with it :) also bo2 was amazing, still one of the best to this day imo

Thank you! I really appreciate it :D I don't have one yet but It's something I want to do down the road. Before I launch one though I'd want to make sure I can nail the moderation and give people a great community experience. If I'm creating a space for people, it's super important to me that it's friendly, safe, and gives them some value.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the encouragement!

haha Thank you! Yeah I think it's windows key + left and right arrows. They're not bad but definitely not as good as glaze.

Thank you! Glad ya liked it :D

LOL. I swear that little tongue twister came to me in a dream. I woke up in the middle of the night and it was just sitting there in my brain. I wrote it down and went back to sleep. Ideas come to us in the weirdest ways haha

Who bought you ?

Happy to help :D Yeah the autosnapping is helpful like 50% of the time at best, and the rest it's an insufferable nuisance.

Wayland, arch, nvidia. You are a brave person. Honestly, every once in a while I get the itch to go with a proper tiling wm again but I haven't had the time. I'm trying to build up my devops skills (next video on Ansible) and do these videos so that eats up most of my time. At one point I had hyprland running on FreeBSD ... now that was a hassle.

LMAO all the i3wm people are busy posting about their setup on reddit (I was one of them in 2019) For the status bar I use openbar extensions.gnome.org/extension/6580/open-bar/

really? I haven't had that with league yet but I suppose that makes sense. I wonder if because I never invoke the script (who's launching their terminal mid game lol) nothing's been detected. Still, all the more reason to use the GlazeWM launcher stuff @TylerPugmire mentioned. Thanks for the heads up!

Really? That is way better than looping in autohotkey. Thanks! That's gonna be a huge simplification to the setup :D

lol I was worried it would be. I'm gonna target the 10 to 15 minute range moving forward for most of my stuff.

Glad you liked it :D

LMAO, no promises. Thanks for the sub though :D

Ahh a T430. That's a connoisseur's choice right there. Thanks for the comment :)

ahh I gotta work on that! Still learning how to edit. Thanks for the heads up :D

This is where I am but just EDA software is the last wall the Unix systems need to break for mass adoption I.e. altium (but they’re gonna hold out for as long as possible)

Thanks for subscribing! Yeah I hear you. I'm on Debian testing for my desktop and debian stable for my servers. But I've got this dual boot and figured I'd give it a shot. It is amazing how much better Windows gets with MicroWin though.

ahh thank you! I'm always open to feedback on these sorts of things, especially because I consider myself a novice homelabber. If you spot any more of these slips in my videos feel free to let me know!

LOL. the perks of self-hosting. I'll fix that shortly. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm really glad to hear it was usefull! I've never even thought about that problem BUT I did find that zfsbootmenu's docs have a guide for syslinux + MBR on void linux as an alternative to UEFI: docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v2.3.x/guides/void-linux/syslinux-mbr.html I'd love to hear how you solve this or even workshop a solution with you. Feel free to reach out via github issues, email, or my substack's subscriber chat (it's free) open.substack.com/chat/posts/d1f551fb-2485-47a2-bae0-4782618ef1eb

My quick thoughts would be: 1. we need to change the partitioning step to be BIOS friendly instead of UEFI 2. in the chroot portion of the script, we need to setup syslinux with zfsbootmenu instead of efivars. 1. might look something like this. Note worthy change is the size of the bios partition and EF02 instead of EF00 partition_disk() { echo "Partitioning disk $POOL_DISK for BIOS..." sgdisk --zap-all $POOL_DISK sgdisk -n1:1M:+1M -t1:EF02 $BOOT_DISK # BIOS Boot Partition sgdisk -n2:0:-10M -t2:BF00 $POOL_DISK # ZFS Partition } 2. this will need some work. The zfsbootmenu guide gives this. cat > /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg <<EOF UI menu.c32 PROMPT 0 MENU TITLE ZFSBootMenu TIMEOUT 50 DEFAULT zfsbootmenu LABEL zfsbootmenu MENU LABEL ZFSBootMenu KERNEL /zfsbootmenu/vmlinuz-bootmenu INITRD /zfsbootmenu/initramfs-bootmenu.img APPEND zfsbootmenu quiet LABEL zfsbootmenu-backup MENU LABEL ZFSBootMenu (Backup) KERNEL /zfsbootmenu/vmlinuz-bootmenu-backup INITRD /zfsbootmenu/initramfs-bootmenu-backup.img APPEND zfsbootmenu quiet EOF Obviously youtube comments are an awful way to share scripts lol, but I hope this is helpful.

That's actually what I'm working on right now! This video will be part of a Debian DIY NAS setup series. To answer your questions: 1. Your root file system is ZFS when you go through the ZFSBootMenu install process. EXT4, as far as I know, isn't capable of the kind of snapshotting that ZFS is. We want to be able to snapshot the actual root file system, so we create root as a ZFS dataset. (Dataset and filesystem are equivalent terms in ZFS which is a little confusing) 2. You can take snapshots whenever you want and you can always boot from any of your past snapshots, as well as your current "live" version of the system. By default, you'll just boot into your current live system. It won't feel that different from booting up with GRUB Please don't hesitate to ask any more questions. I'm happy to geek out about this any time!

You know, I doubt they would. It'd certainly be fun to try. I've never created an iso like that. Maybe one day.

no Ls here bro

thank you and thanks for the recommendation. Last time I really riced out an i3 setup was like 2019. Then, Rofi was hot stuff. I'm not surprised newer things have surpassed it. I'll take a look at ulauncher when I get a chance.

Thanks for being one of them :D I'm really new here but I'm having a ton of fun. I've done a lot of teaching in the past though so I think that's helped with learning how to pace things.

@@nathanlaundry Ye you seem very comfortable talking to the cam!

From what I'm reading in the Nix docs, yes! The more I play around with things, the more I realize I'm recreating functionality in Nix by stitching together other tools lol. I'm also working on an Ansible project so my system can be more reproducible and declarative ... maybe I just need Nix lol. But jokes aside, I'm spending the year on all Debian systems to deep dive them because Debian is everywhere. I thought it'd be a rock solid place to learn Linux fundamentals. Once I'm done that, though, Nix is on the list for sure!

Ahh, I feel like I've been waiting for Cosmic DE for forever. I'm curious to see how it develops but the first alpha release was, expectedly, rough. I also cluttered up and messed up my system a little with the alpha release of Cosmic lol. If you use the script, you'll want probably want to tweak it a bit. It's ... let's say version 0.01. It'll give you a good start though. Let me know how it goes and please feel free to leave issues on the git repo! Personally, I've been really enjoying my combo of Debian Testing + ZFSBootMenu. Also having full access to all of ZFS' functionality is fantastic if you're running a NAS to send these snapshots too. This video will be part of a series on how I set up my DIY NAS with Debian, ZFS Boot Menu, Ansible, and Docker. I'm hoping to get the Ansible part by end of November with some other less high effort video in between.

@nathanlaundry Cosmic was running pretty smoothly for the most part but this last update broke something. I'll give your script a try and see how it goes

Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really starting to have fun with this so expect more soon!

Thank you! I'll do my best :D Next two videos (in no particular order) are one on tiling window management for windows, then one as an intro to Ansible and how I'm going to use it to set up my NAS and my dad's NAS the same way.

Thank you so much! I definitely will!

that gives me an idea

Thank you! I really appreciate that. I'm glad it was useful. Next up, I'm working on a series for the DIY NAS I'm putting together. Just pulled together a shell script to install ZFSbootmenu. If you're interested: github.com/NLaundry/zfsbootmenu-autoinstaller It's still in a rough state but hopefully by the time I get the video out it'll be a little cleaner. I'll test it on some VMs and MAYBE try to get some other distros to work.

Thank you! I use the Open Bar Gnome Extension which you can find here: extensions.gnome.org/extension/6580/open-bar/

@@nathanlaundry Thanks

What you fail to see is that I’ve been running to you since time immemorial. My heart, my soul, my essence, sprint to you - always.

@@nathanlaundry Cringe, yet based.

Thank ya!

That is such a great compliment! Thank you :D
