Commentor: *Sees old kernel* Brodie why is your system so out of date. On this day they learnt my dark secret... I don't upload my videos in the order I record them
Brodie, I understand why people use GUIs instead of configuration files; they are allergic to excessive reading. When I say excessive, I mean anything more than a page or two. 😂
I've been accused on some forums of horridly out of date systems but when I explain that is what Linux Mint uses for a kernel they don't understand. There is never an issue of running an older kernel as long as its getting support / patches
I know my LMDE system here has 2500 packages lol Some of that though is the fact that Debian, Fedora, Arch, Suse... none of them count packages the same way
This is why I don't spend oodles of time customizing stuff and running arcane apps for hotkeys or whatever. I get used to using the base system, when I install new boxes, I install 5 packages, and I'm at home. And when stuff changes, I'm not dependent on projects that might not have maintainers anymore and are basically abandoned getting moved to new frameworks.
how do i always open my computer, open mercury and come here and click on your video, literally 9 minutes after its uploaded. It happens EVERY time! love these videos so much and i guess they are just destined to be on my home page as soon as i open youtube in the afternoon.
So what what did you do before mpv? Tbh regular old mplayer is fine for me, but I do like the Gnome-Mplayer frontend because it has control options to change the brightness; very useful when watching movies where scenes are too dark. Yes I could change the brightness in the monitor, but then I would change it back after the movie is done.
I've been using Linux casually for 25 years and this is the first time I've seen and heard of some of these tools. Explaining how they help with work flow is especially helpful! Thanks for sharing!

Brodie, you brought me to LF (I can't use anything else anymore), you start LF pretty much every time you start terminal (at least in this video) - let us give credit to this amazing file manager! Great video of course, as always 🙂
one small thing about vlc that i find very useful is 'play from last time you left". If mpv had that small feature, it would be a big W. apart from it, mpv is a good.
I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but if you are looking for the feature where mpv remembers the point in the video where you stopped watching, it does support that. You just have to close mpv with Q (beware the letter being capital). If I misunderstood you, I am sorry.
For me these tools are konsole, dolpin, and firefox. Tried replacing, just to come back. Same for vscode (not codium, I use the ms one). I tried kdevelop and codium, but none has as much functions as ms vscode*. And I know there are some terminalutils I forgot here, I work in the terminal 90% of the time. (All ui apart from term itself is hidden) * I also use microsofts features like sync that are gone in codium
OBS is probably the most powerful recording software, period. I've never heard of anything that comes even close. I find it quite interesting that an open source project is dominating the recording software market when in adjacent markets like video and photo editing, and music production the largest players are proprietary.
for people who use AUR helpers like `yay`, they can sometimes give you the option to "remove make dependencies after install". i found that for quick testing of software this saves me a heck ton of package bloat
I'm living without conkeror somehow. Actually, "programs that made the linux experience better 10 years ago than it is now" is an easier list to rattle off.
The main issue I find with Alacritty is that it doesn't support keyboard disambiguation protocols - so several key combinations (some appearing in the default VIM config, for example) simply don't work. I think one was ALT+H. That's basically the only reason I switched to kitty.
For me it's Alacritty and Zellij (Interestingly they both happen to be written in Rust). I don't need Alacritty to have a built-in terminal multiplexor because Zellij is super intuitive especially when used with Neovim. I don't like switching tools or distro hopping. I like to stick to one thing and learn it. I like tools that work right out the box, until I care enough to start customising them to my workflow. If I have to go through 10+ lines of config to get a volume button or basic function to work, I'm downloading something else.
Whenever someone says "I want the simplest solution" my ears prick up: "let's hear *your* definition of *simple*". Because, contrary to popular belief, "simple" is very *very* subjective. To some it may be "I installed this additional program and wrote this 20 line shell script so I can type a custom command to do exactly what I need, then type another command when I'm done", while for another it might be "I see the menu pop up, I click the icon and get file manager, and when I'm done I click the eject button". To each their own 🤷
Just ran `pacman -Q | wc -l`. Got 2587. 1880 is junior numbers Brodie, junior numbers. Don't worry, my system is still silky smooth. Turns out, modern hardware is pretty powerful when all software actually behave themselves (cough cough Windows cough cough).

I use fish and man I can't go back to the HORRORS of bash (and zsh) scripting
A fish-lover wrote the Ansible playbooks for my former employer's entire data science stack, which meant that every time I logged into an EC2 I had no idea what the 🐠 was going on.
You almost have no software installed... I have 5212 packages + some commercial software not installed from packages + flatpak + games launchers and games inside...
Always hilarious to me the state of the *vim ecosystem given that the main reason I learned Vi was -for the memes- because of the "where you're going, you won't need a config file" ethos.
There are some good examples of the UNIX philosophy with some of your reasoning Brodie. Me like. Now, FVWM. As long as I can´t run that under Wayland, there simply is no Wayland in my world.
I actually decided to look into my manjaro's orphan files but I decided there's not way I'm using pacman's remove function once I saw gdm in there. It's sad but baring a brand new install crap will just add up on any system running any os. And I don't intend to reinstall Manajaro again until I buy a new computer. Now let's see in how many seconds it decides to die on me and force me to reinstall :)
I always used mplayer built from source, because apparently no distro can be arsed to pass all the right options to configure. But I looked into mpv now, and... mpv is the same codebase and it can play youtube URLs directly. It doesn't play VCD, but I don't think I've seen a VCD in my life.
I must be one of the most 'normie-est' Arch Linux user. I installed it the manual way, set up secureboot with my own self made keys, fscrypt encrypted my f2fs drive and even compiled my own kernel with patches from Intel's Clear Linux project .etc But I use GNOME 45 with my personal small selection of GNOME software, even installed a modified Gnome-Software-Centre that can update pacman packages, Flatpak GUI apps are prioritized over native ones wherever possible. Even got the Plymouth boot animation screen. GTK 4 apps are preferred, for other GTK/Qt apps I use a libadwaita theme to match GNOME 45. The upside to this is that Steam and Firefox no longer "disobey" XDG protocols by having dotfiles in the home dir when they're in their own little containers in ~/.var ! It looks like a super-generic corporate workstation and for some reason I like the 'sleeper' look of it.
Hearing you list all the things you "don't need" in a video player, I'm shaking my head and groaning because mpv has all those things too. It just doesn't come with a user interface out of the box (for that, I use SMPlayer). But the most frustrating thing, is that you don't even mention why mpv is BETTER than VLC. Things like how it has vastly superior frame timing. VLC averages fps for a video, so if the framerate varies a lot VLC will play it wrong.. But mpv can actually play back everything accurately. Not only that, but mpv is the ONLY video player with _proper_ colorspace conversion built in. You can even have it bake multiple LUTs that get loaded dynamically, that specifically converts from various video standards to your EXACT display specifications (assuming you have a colorimeter and have used it to properly profile your display). The MacOS version of Quicktime also has support for using a display profile, but the Windows version doesn't (from what I hear), and honestly? I don't have a Mac, but I've seen how much effort mpv's developers have put into the correctness of their algorithms and I _suspect_ that Apple has likely taken many more shortcuts than mpv's developers have. I used to love VLC, but when I found out how much better mpv is for frame-accurate and color-accurate playback (VLC still can't go back or forward one frame at a time in a video, something mpv and even TH-cam can do), I ditched it hard. Besides, mpv has video conversion and other utilities. They're part of ffmpeg, which mpv uses for its backend. However, in general mpv is somewhat more limited than ffmpeg, so it's recommended to just use ffmpeg.
I use sxhkd too and it's been set it and forget it for about 2 years. Every now and then I think of something I can throw in there but other than that, I do not touch it.
Nice to watch, but honestly, I'll probably never use this or similar toolset on my device, too exotic and to some degree impractical for me. The only one of your list, that I use is MPV.
Ditto for Alacritty. I use a mac, tried kitty and a handful of others. It's perfection. I can't live without Yabai (tiling manager for mac). Also can't live without bash-my-aws.
You wouldn't have that problem with Nix BTW 😗 Just make a new shell to test software or put it at the bottom of your default.nix(or mark them with '#somethingsomething') and you know what is for testing and what is part of your core system.
for me software on linux I can't find a good replacement for, some of it is proprietary, but I don't care, I'm not a purist. syncthing, jetbrains ide's, ocenaudio, btrfs, kde dolphin, smartgit, kde connect, tailscale
Hey Brodie, i also use sxhkd but only for bspwm can you upload your dotfiles to check that? the last commit was on Feb 11, 2021 that is like 3 years now almost 2024
I love alacrity, but I REALLY am a ligatures fanboy, I just can't use it, which is very annoying because it's objectively better than most terminals. I'm using konsole rn, it's nice too
Sorry to bother! I need some help. My problem is that I keep my scripts in the ~/.local/bin folder, and they can execute from anywhere in the terminal. However, when I launch dmenu or rofi, these tools do not read any of my scripts in the ~/.local/bin folder; they only read the scripts I wrote in /usr/local/bin. The weird thing is that dmenu only reads my scripts if I execute dmenu_run through the terminal, but with a keybind, none of the scripts are visible.
@@volodymyrkilchenkoI was going to ask the same question about pulse until I remembered that if you install pipewire-pulse (the best way to purge _pulse_ pulse, if nothing else), then you don't have to change anything on your system-any audio routed through pulse will get redirected through pipewire as a drop-in replacement.
This video shows why there will never be a future where Linux rules the desktop, because all the scripts and customizations you have done is too complicated for the average person to figure out
Every macOS developer I know has a .zsh_profile as long as their arm. Everyone who does serious work on Windows carries around their vscode settings file on a thumb drive. Meanwhile, I've customized Ubuntu and now elementaryOS for over a decade exclusively through graphical settings applications that are way easier to use than Windows Control Panel (switchboard is bae).
For me, it's Dolphin, the file manager. A file manager that looks like it's from the 21-st century. It's too good of a file manager to not use. Literally nothing else compares. Everything else seems like it's just lacking in functionality.
i myself prefer to use "rm" (short for Richard stallMan's) and "cp" (short for Child Porn Filemanager). it may not have UNDO features, and it may destroy my entire data, but its the best choice
"A file manager that looks like it's from the 21-st century." What do you mean by that statement? So it's more important to you how a piece of software looks than how it functions? Is this to give a good impression to people who might be looking over your shoulder at you using your computer? It just really seems to be a strange thing to say, especially when the core of Linux is very much rooted in UNIX from the 1980's.
mpv is great. I'm using it with mpris plugin so i can control the video from my phone and it automatically pauses when I get a phone call (when also using kdeconnect). I also use svp manager with it to turn anime into 60 fps video and finally i can keep track of my watch progress so i can continue where I left off automatically and also automatically list the anime (episode and series) that i have finished watching
which application you use to keep track of progress and list episodes that you have finished watchining? Also if you can please list any/all application that you use with Anime.
@@ShivamKumar-nz2qr i use my own software (quickmedia) for keeping track of watch progress, but it's mpv that allows me to easily write script/program for it to make it possible. Other than that I only use svp manager.
Always interesting to see the preferences of other people and getting the way of thinking behind them. For me it's Terminator, vim, a browser (one of the foxes or something else), Obsidian and syncthing.
Syncthing is the bread and butter here and something we can't live without. My usecase is syncing mods for various games we play between us in the same group to ensure we have the same mods and the same versions.
Whenever I'm on Linux, I usually pull zsh and oh-my-zsh, but I've lately moved things over to fish. However with most apps, I've become too lazy to configure them. Give me a good default and let me tweak it and I'll be happy. If the default isn't useful for me, I usually don't use the app (which is also why I'm probably not going to use any Vim-alikes as my text editor, I'm just too lazy to learn a text editor). Other than that: tmux, ffmpeg for the ocasional version conversion, yt-dlp and Docker. Also call me a pleb, but for the initial go, I do enjoy a GUI-based configuration. I would like it to be backed by a simple config file that can be tweaked.
I have the same thing, so I use LunarVIM. It's just Neovim setup as an IDE, still takes time to learn vim, but I don't have to deal with a config file because LunarVIM is setup how I want it.

An older kernel isn't even a real issue if your hardware works with it.

I've been accused on some forums of horridly out of date systems but when I explain that is what Linux Mint uses for a kernel they don't understand. There is never an issue of running an older kernel as long as its getting support / patches
I remember hunting for media conversion programs when I was younger until I found out they all use ffmpeg in the back.

`pacman -Qeq | wc -l` is what you should care about

Some of that though is the fact that Debian, Fedora, Arch, Suse... none of them count packages the same way
For sxhkd, there's swhkd, which works both on Xorg and Wayland!
Do you know if it supports X-input (as in, 🎮)? I've been looking for an alternative to input-remapper.
This is why I don't spend oodles of time customizing stuff and running arcane apps for hotkeys or whatever. I get used to using the base system, when I install new boxes, I install 5 packages, and I'm at home. And when stuff changes, I'm not dependent on projects that might not have maintainers anymore and are basically abandoned getting moved to new frameworks.
"The only way this is going to get cleaned up is by installing a new system." -- And this is why we should be using declarative distros.
Allegedly SteamOS 3.5 adds support for installing software via nix. I'm eager to try that out and can totally see it changing my desktop approach.
Nix sucks though, it's package manager, if you can even call it that, is a pain in the A to use

06:39 why do you need networking to play music? i just use mp3 files in directory
You don't?
@@BrodieRobertsonso music server ≠ network server?
5:18 you could ask chatgpt about it
@@anon8510 I'm just using FreeGPT without a token and registration and I don't see the point of not using it
@@anon8510 why, is there a reason not to use it ?
Im curious why you choose Arch as your distro?
To say that he uses arch btw
Probably because some Wayland compositors like Hyprland and some WMs require very up to date packages. In that case, Arch is your best bet.
@@cameronbosch1213 no kidding, hyprland is like kryptonite but for debian (personal experience)
@@cameronbosch1213 Not up to date on Linux since Redhat in the 90s lol so its interesting to see who uses what distro now.
0:02 For being a "Wayland Propogandist", you aren't even using it! I thought you used Hyprland, not awesome!
Maybe he's using nested X11, huh! 😂
@@dand337 I hope so! 😬
@@dand337nah he's Not on wayland, because OBS shenanigans iirc
@keit99 STILL!? Damn, OBS needs to get their crap together!
why is your kernel so outdated
why are you using pulse, not pipewire
It's a video from a few months ago that I forgot to upload
@@volodymyrkilchenkoI was going to ask the same question about pulse until I remembered that if you install pipewire-pulse (the best way to purge _pulse_ pulse, if nothing else), then you don't have to change anything on your system-any audio routed through pulse will get redirected through pipewire as a drop-in replacement.
zsh unusable?
wait what?
i just installed it, went through the setup, installed completion and thats it
is there more to it?
The setup tool is what makes it usable try it with a clean config
Doesn’t a clean config run you through set up? Yeah, ok not ohmyzsh set up but usable
Kitty > alacrity
never say never :)
You just try new software in a virtual machine. Thats if you don't like fiddling around. 😂
A few people have suggested using a distrobox container and then deleting it every few months
software horder
This video shows why there will never be a future where Linux rules the desktop, because all the scripts and customizations you have done is too complicated for the average person to figure out
I use a tiling window manager on Arch Linux, my setup is not targeted at someone who just wants a working computer
Every macOS developer I know has a .zsh_profile as long as their arm. Everyone who does serious work on Windows carries around their vscode settings file on a thumb drive.
Meanwhile, I've customized Ubuntu and now elementaryOS for over a decade exclusively through graphical settings applications that are way easier to use than Windows Control Panel (switchboard is bae).
They're very much optional.
For me, it's Dolphin, the file manager. A file manager that looks like it's from the 21-st century. It's too good of a file manager to not use. Literally nothing else compares. Everything else seems like it's just lacking in functionality.
And what about krusader? It's unmatched in the category of dual-pane file managers, even with dolphin's dual-pane mode
I will install dolphin on Gnome systems, everything else feels unusable
i myself prefer to use "rm" (short for Richard stallMan's) and "cp" (short for Child Porn Filemanager). it may not have UNDO features, and it may destroy my entire data, but its the best choice
"A file manager that looks like it's from the 21-st century."
What do you mean by that statement? So it's more important to you how a piece of software looks than how it functions? Is this to give a good impression to people who might be looking over your shoulder at you using your computer?
It just really seems to be a strange thing to say, especially when the core of Linux is very much rooted in UNIX from the 1980's.

mpv is great. I'm using it with mpris plugin so i can control the video from my phone and it automatically pauses when I get a phone call (when also using kdeconnect). I also use svp manager with it to turn anime into 60 fps video and finally i can keep track of my watch progress so i can continue where I left off automatically and also automatically list the anime (episode and series) that i have finished watching
which application you use to keep track of progress and list episodes that you have finished watchining?
Also if you can please list any/all application that you use with Anime.
@@ShivamKumar-nz2qr i use my own software (quickmedia) for keeping track of watch progress, but it's mpv that allows me to easily write script/program for it to make it possible. Other than that I only use svp manager.
Always interesting to see the preferences of other people and getting the way of thinking behind them.
For me it's Terminator, vim, a browser (one of the foxes or something else), Obsidian and syncthing.
Syncthing is the bread and butter here and something we can't live without.
My usecase is syncing mods for various games we play between us in the same group to ensure we have the same mods and the same versions.
All these are FOSS other than obsidian. Try logseq
@@vxer tested it, not suitable for my use case, sadly. Both use markdown, so if Obsidian does some sketchy stuff I could still read my stuff.
Whenever I'm on Linux, I usually pull zsh and oh-my-zsh, but I've lately moved things over to fish. However with most apps, I've become too lazy to configure them. Give me a good default and let me tweak it and I'll be happy. If the default isn't useful for me, I usually don't use the app (which is also why I'm probably not going to use any Vim-alikes as my text editor, I'm just too lazy to learn a text editor).
Other than that: tmux, ffmpeg for the ocasional version conversion, yt-dlp and Docker.
Also call me a pleb, but for the initial go, I do enjoy a GUI-based configuration. I would like it to be backed by a simple config file that can be tweaked.
I have the same thing, so I use LunarVIM. It's just Neovim setup as an IDE, still takes time to learn vim, but I don't have to deal with a config file because LunarVIM is setup how I want it.
fwiw, that Kitty image-display feature does integrate really nicely with Ranger - you get a fully rendered preview in, well, the Ranger preview area
