To Tyler's point on writing scripts to automate stuff, I tried NixOS and really enjoyed it but there was a few things that didn't work for me. I swapped to Arch and since I was inspired by the Nix config I wrote a bash script which can take a fresh Arch install and in one script it installs and configures everything how I like it. It gets it about 90% of the way there, I just need to add a part to import my konsave and it's pretty much done.
Hyprland has a window rule that enables idle inhibiting. This way you can set it up to not idle when playing youtube or watching movies etc. You don't need waybar.
Guys, I have a dumb question 😊. As far as I know you can’t setup a timeshift with btrfs to save your snapshot on an external drive. It requires you to put the snapshots on the system drive. So is there any benefit of using it instead of rsync option?
That is the catch 22 of btrfs, not so much timeshift. You can, after the fact, copy the snapshots to a different partition/drive, but they will initially be created on the source drive. On a desktop I think it's smarter to use rsync instead, in which case, there's not much reason to use btrfs on a desktop. On a laptop, however, btrfs makes more sense since most laptops only have 1 drive in them.
@@TActually couldn't you use a symbolic junction/soft-link or whatever they're called nowadays? or does btrfs not allow you and will shit the bed if you try?
My system never goes to sleep. I've disabled it in the power settings. Work spaces I've never understood. I have everything I use pinned on the panel and if I want to go to Thunderbird, Thunar, Galculator or whatever, I click on it and I can use it. Key bindings I don't use, nor a Window manager, backups I have none because I have nothing of importance on my computer. Samba I've never used and I ticked it off during installation of MX Linux. Scripts I don't know how to wright them and don't need them. I'm just a simple use with a simple brain.
So, a Debian user, OpenSUSE enjoyer and NixOS bro walk into a bar...

Great one guys!
I’m loving Quillpad. Thank you for sharing Drew!

How did I miss this awesome podcast?
This is exactly the podcast I was looking for.
I'll listen to it on Pocket Cast. 😉
Linux ♥️
alias, YES. i use 'install', 'update', 'upgrade', 'off'-poweroff, 'c- for clear', '..', '...', i dont enjoy having to type "sudo apt" all the time

We need a how to on accessing files with a file manager on a BTRFS partition.
I would also push anacron over cron. anacron runs at next available interval if it's scheduled time is missed.
Try ctrl-r for reverse search history, or atuin for a fancier version.
I use aliases and functions in my .bashrc. I even put a number guessing game in my .bashrc just for fun. :)
Regarding shell history you can just use atuin, it's very useful
Hi Tyler.

@glebglub the location of snapshots isn't configurable, so sym linking would just give you additional access to the snapshot in its original location.
@@TActually I’m guessing that he means to replace .snapshot directory with a link to a directory on a different drive
@@lyudvig_ I doubt that would work either, but I guess someone will have to try it and report back.

Your system never goes to sleep?
YOU sir are unique 😂👍
@@mohammedF976 always suspend🤗
Is there a timeshift guide somewhere for normal human beings?
If Tyler is on a Macbook, I suppose he could always dual boot to get the Linux experience on Mac hardware.
why are my comments disappearing?
Because you're commenting on YT and most content is not allowed.
Gg matt
So tyler took my advice and got rid of that ridiculous hat. Now we must look at more of his head.
😂
