Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) get their name from the long, orange, yellow, and black feathery crests above their eyes. They were named after “macaroni dandies,” whose hairstyle was fashionable in the 18th century.
@@BreadOnPenguins Let me guess, you took Art History while in college. Me too. Found your channel through Distro Tube's shoutout, so I liked and subscribed. I'm a Linux noob, and I use Arch, btw. Hyprland too, btw. Anyway, I loved your presentation.
Hi Bread on Penguins! I just subscribed to your channel. I find your content very useful and unique, especially seeing a female perspective in this field - it’s so refreshing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have a small suggestion that might help improve the viewing experience for some viewers: perhaps increasing the font size in the terminal a bit would make it easier to follow along, and using a dark theme for the browser background could reduce eye strain. Keep up the amazing work!
Penguins have a unique way of communicating with each other through a series of calls and body language. They can also use visual displays, such as preening and posturing, to communicate
Glad you're making good use of it! Yes, it can work perfectly as a dmenu alternative, with the previewing. Cool that you've gotten Windows users on board
I'm enjoying these takes by someone using linux in their private time on the daily. I've mostly ever done server stuff with it at work, so almost all things that involve a dektop environment or window manager are very much out of my expertise, but this tool might make it into work. also been taking a long hard look at going linux full time on my personal PC, Win10 has been pleasantly tolerable over the years, but I'm not touching Win11 unless I have to. Arch is a contender, I like the rolling release model more than different stable releases, like debian and fedora, but we'll see, the jury is still out on what it's gonna be
Thanks - I'm glad to hear! It's probably far easier to switch if you already have an IT background - a DE/WM is just the coating on top of what's running underneath. You can always dual-boot if needed for app compatibility. There are also plenty of Arch-based distros, if you like Arch's concept but dislike some aspects here and there :)
Thank you! Glad to hear :) Tim Hecker's work with noise is incredible. You might also like Jan Jelinek, particularly his latest album SEASCAPE - polyptych.
because you're mentioning bash history, it's worth noting that you should be able use the up and down arrow keys to select a previously used command. not the same as searching bash history but if its a recently used command it's more convenient
@@BreadOnPenguins Maybe just showcased. It's really a fancier version of cat (git integration, syntax colouring.... sorry I'm British and paging). Great utility, not enough features for a full video.
Your comments section suggests a video idea: Wallpapers. Specifically--your wallpapers. Showcase your favorites, where/how you find them, your favorite wallpaper sources, artists you like, etc., etc. If you make it, I'll watch it. Twice. I double pinky-swear.
That's actually a great idea, thanks for commenting. I was thinking of hosting a collection, but teach a man to fish.. a video guide on how to find good wallpapers is even better. I'll add that to the videos-to-make list!
Hey, not yet, since I'll have to do a lot of clean up and organization before posting. But the prompt is via starship, and it's just an edited version of the nord default prompt. :)
Great video as always. Would you consider doing a video on your PC build? I have been looking into building a pc specifically for Linux (using VM currently) but was worried about certain hardware not working well with Linux. There are some videos that I have seen that cover building a desktop for Linux but would love to hear your take.
I have linux installed on a bunch of old laptops. You can find them used for under $50. I'd start with that route. They almost always work first try. You can try multiple distros this way as well from live USB.
Thank you! That's actually a great idea - I can definitely talk about hardware at some point. I had a laptop with an nvidia card for a while, which was a nightmare to set up drivers for. So if you're getting gaming hardware, I'd go team red (AMD), for both GPU and CPU (CPU reasoning due to Intel's backdoors). To my knowledge, graphics the only area with notable compatibility trouble, and it's gotten far better than it was even a few years ago. But I also second @stevenrosscarpenter's suggestion for an old laptop, an easy no-risk option to play around with. Thinkpads are awesome :^)
hey you could do a video on git and nifty git techniques like worktree and cherry pick. for me I already know some of that but maybe you could do something unique or elegant I might want to use for work
For me it's a question of nvim vs emacs, and it's a simple answer: nvim is faster than emacs, in both load times and during editing. I also don't need a lot of the extra features emacs provides; anything nvim is missing by default I can get with lua plugins. Okay, sure thing! Thanks for commenting :^)
@@BreadOnPenguins Interesting, I am an emacs user and was contemplating switching to nvim due to being closer to the terminal even though emacs has a term mode, but i am not used to a lot of the things like command line tools and stuff
I love how cpu temp is represented in celsius while the normal weather is using fahrenheit. I love it
Thanks! Celsius is almost always used for pc temps and that's my frame of reference for cpu; and the opposite for weather, so gotta have both
@@BreadOnPenguins 👍👍
This is gold! It's *exactly* what I've been wanting from my Linux content creators: practical skills for the power user! :D
Thank you so much! :D
Wikipedia says it’s called either the backtick, backquote, grave, or grave accent.
Thank you!
@ Least I can do now that my display is dimming every night :)
Yeah i've always referred to that key as ` Grave and ~Tilde.
fzf is a wildly awesome tool, absolutely love it! You showcased it nicely, thanks!
Indeed! I might make more videos with it in the future, I only scratched the surface of examples in this vid
I had no idea just how powerful fzf is. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you found the vid useful - no problem!

Okay that's actually legendary, thank you for sharing. Just searched images, they're awesome LOL
this is awesome ty!! ive had fzf installed forever but didnt realize at all how powerful it is
Glad to hear! Yeah it can do quite a bit :)
oh my god your wallpapers are always so beautiful

Nice, as birds go, they have extraordinarily interesting behavior
'grep + awk = 👍👍' 'grep + awk + fzf = 👌👌👌'
💯💯
I really use fzf as an occasional alternative for dmenu. Mostly in clickable dwm status bar actions where I want a preview. Awesome program
BTW, I've made some scripts for work using it as an interface, so even people on Windows use it
Glad you're making good use of it! Yes, it can work perfectly as a dmenu alternative, with the previewing. Cool that you've gotten Windows users on board
Really good stuff. I love fzf, zoxide and eza. Terminal fun. Piping eza --hyperlink with fuzzy finder gives hyperlinked results. cool video.
I was considering a vid on eza, I'll add zoxide to the list too. Good tools. Thanks!
Love these wallpapers actually.
Thanks so much!

For sure! Thanks for noting :)
4:01 I'm pretty sure they're called Single Quotes Bread. The preview looks really good, I've just been using batcat for my previewing.
no backquote
Thanks! Yeah I might make a video about bat, not sure if it needs its own vid or should just be showcased with some other syntax highlighting tools
@@BreadOnPenguins can you make a video about your neovim setup?
@@BreadOnPenguins Maybe just showcased. It's really a fancier version of cat (git integration, syntax colouring.... sorry I'm British and paging). Great utility, not enough features for a full video.
Ctrl+t at any time during your command typing will bring up a fzf file finder and insert it right there

Random question but what made you choose nvim as your editor of choice? Also would love a scripting vid as im relatively new to this!
For me it's a question of nvim vs emacs, and it's a simple answer: nvim is faster than emacs, in both load times and during editing. I also don't need a lot of the extra features emacs provides; anything nvim is missing by default I can get with lua plugins.

@@BreadOnPenguins Interesting, I am an emacs user and was contemplating switching to nvim due to being closer to the terminal even though emacs has a term mode, but i am not used to a lot of the things like command line tools and stuff
Gotcha, I'd say nvim is worth trying out and learning! If you don't end up liking it, you can always switch back later
