Sometimes…
I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat along with yt-dlp to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…
N I N T E N D O C A N E A T S H I T ! !
All Linux distros are kinda the same really.
This is how not to use Arch… Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can’t handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian…
I’ve actually been meaning to give systemd boot a try. Been using grub just fine though & I’ve never actually had any problems with it…
I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly…
I can see how that would be problematic. Hopefully that’ll never happen to me…
This has never happened to me, well at least not yet. The only thing that’s ballsed up recently is Nvidia drivers…
Had some problems while trying to compile and install a WiFi driver for the first time. Managed to find the email of the driver’s creator and sent them a message. They responded a few hours later with incredibly helpful guidance, walking me through the process and enabling me to get it working, all while gaining valuable insights…
I can make Firefox use way too much resources simply by visiting an Instagram profile & opening the toolbox on a few posts to inspect the code…
I’ve never used mint myself, but I’ve heard good things about it. Last time I used Ubuntu on actual hardware was around 2008 I think. For the most part I’ve been using either Arch, Debian or Fedora…
A friend of a friend tried daily driving Ubuntu recently & had a few problems (some of which were gaming related). They eventually switched to Linux Mint and pretty much most of their problems seemed to disappear…
See I only got lag & crashes on windows, when on my Arch install I had/have no problems whatsoever. I haven’t used windows since 2002 & don’t really plan on doing so any time soon, the install was just to quickly see what windows 10 was like compared to Linux…
I’ve had people tell me that they experience better performance running games on Linux through Proton compared to running them natively on Windows. A while back, I decided to try Windows for the first time since 2002 on actual hardware. With TF2, I encountered significantly more crashes & lag compared to running it on my Arch install…
If I can’t view a website in Firefox, then I probably don’t want to view it anyway. If I really must visit it then I’ll change the user agent…
Literally no Linux user ever…
Been using XFCE on Linux for somewhere around 20 years. In the new year I wish to try switching fulltime to a wm & maybe even wayland…
Never had this problem, but I can see why someone probably could…
Forgot to mention that
mpvis how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…The file
~/.newsboat/urlscontains URLs similar to the one below. Just replaceCHANNEL_IDwith the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using
yt-dlp. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…This binds the
dkey to useyt-dlpto download videos.
