Hey if i want to add this command ("pyfiglet -s -f slant --color=BLUE Fedora") for the logo what should i add to the config file ?
@ImZipux5 күн бұрын
You could try doing something like "source": "$(pyfiglet -s -f slant --color=BLUE Fedora)" under logo. However, I haven't been able to make other commands work this way, despite the documentation saying that you can do command substitutions. So my suggestion is to copy and paste the text you get from the command into a .txt file and save it somewhere where you'll know where it's at (~/.config/fastfetch/logo.txt). Then, add in "source": "~/.config/fastfetch/logo.txt" and add in "type": "file" under logo. I will give you links to go to for all of this in this comment. It shows you two ways to go about adding in the source file, plus it tells you how to get the colors you want: github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Logo-options kzread.infoOM8AsMhTNvY github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Migrate-Neofetch-Logo-To-Fastfetch

how to set ascii logo i didnt find something on github
@ImZipux14 күн бұрын
So I just uploaded a short, specifically on how to do this, which can be found right here: kzread.infoOM8AsMhTNvY Basically, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want the default ASCII Logo (your distro's ASCII Logo) or do you want your own? If you want the default, use builtin as the type in the logo section of your config.jsonc file. If you want your own, logo, you'll have to make it or find a way to have it made and then save it as a .txt file, and then you'll do "fastfetch --logo /path/to/file.txt". If you want this to happen every time you open a command prompt, just copy and paste that line into your .bashrc file.

hey Zipux thanks and keep these videos coming there are too few creators like you showing real step-by-step detail. But what is jmtpfs useful for? I suppose it's specifically for Media Transfer Protocol, but why use that instead of Mass Storage Protocol, or adb?
@ImZipux15 күн бұрын
Thank you very much for that. This is, indeed, specifically for Media Transfer Protocol. From my understanding of how this all works, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb gives you more control over what you can access on your device; things that can literally make or break your system. I choose Media Transfer Protocol because I don't need to access anything but things like my Documents, Music, Pictures, etc type of folders. Plus, I don't really know much about using it as a Mass Storage Protocol or adb and I'm afraid that I would brick my device, if I tried it. And I don't have the money to replace it if I screw up something along the way. This would be for someone that could mount and unmount their device, but want to keep it simple and not have access to everything within their device, or for someone (like me) who don't want to screw up anything. But as I said before, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb will give you more control over your device, and you can choose to go with those methods, if you need to access more than just your media folders and files.

Platform's ability to self-censor is highly political & protected by policy. Right To Repair (or lack thereof) affects both hardware and software. Mergers of tech companies have regulatory approval processes and could be blocked by stronger antitrust regulations. Global relations with china, taiwan, and other countries affects the tech supply chain. Public school policy and funding affects tech education. Poverty affects individual priorities & ability to afford getting into tech. You can't disentangle politics from tech. Idk what DistroTube said but politics is part of basically everything. Edit: obvious one, privacy regulations.

Though I highly disagree with you in places, I overall appreciate your comment. Culture is not an excuse to act in the ways that they do. My suggestion: they should touch grass. This does not discourage me whatsoever. In fact, it challenges me and gives me a reason to say "I did it on my own". That I never expressed in the video, but it is how I feel on the matter. I was speaking, in terms of others who have to go through RTFM. But I've dealt with this in the coding community as well, so I'm not new to it. Though I'm sure your intentions are in the right place, the alternatives bit just simply isn't true. Arch people complain when someone isn't using vanilla Arch and then they wanna gatekeep when they do switch but they're not "doing it right". The one thing I will agree with you on is that not everyone that uses Arch is toxic. The answer is not to stay away from Arch, but for Arch users to do better and for us to call them out when they're being lazy (amongst other things) by using RTFM on someone.

Used to love Firefox, since it was a slim, fast, resource-friendly browser that let me set text-only zoom PER WEBSITE instead of one general setting. So I could have a big font size on websites with lots of text without forms (fanfiction sites for instance), but could leave it small on form-heavy sites like social media. And then Firefox kept adding and adding and adding bloatware that just killed its usability for me. Now I'm using Opra. And am experiencing a similar rise of bloatware (cough "AI" cough). Not nearly as bad yet, but I came to loathe Opera updates. Until Mozilla removes like 60% of unnecessary "features" from Firefox, I'm not going back.

Yes, Firefox is definitely customizable in those ways. It's why I like using Firefox. But if the goal is to become more minimal and not so bloated, I completely understand not wanting to run Firefox. There are some things that I don't find useful about Firefox, personally. But for me, I do a lot of customization to it to where I don't see those things that I don't want to see (like, pocket, for example). If I were to switch to something else, it would just be a fork of Firefox. I don't know how much different things would be, but there's just things I rely on Firefox for, as a browser. I've used OperaGX before, and it was good, until it lost all of my bookmarks. The save button did not take affect when I hit it and it erased everything. That's my biggest issue with Opera; I'm still burned from that experience.

Is arch for people who want to read a manual though? I'm sorry but I really do think that over the past say 5 years with arch install scripts and the easier streamlined installation process that arch has become the defacto "minimalist-ish" distro for most noobies who'd prefer not to run a distro with a bunch of pre installed crap, not a distro for hardcore power users who want to read and understand how everything works (this is all in the scope of Linux users of course , to your average windows or Mac user any Linux user is advanced to a certain degree) So knowing that I do believe that "some" of the things asked around the internet can be solved by unironically reading the f manual , or by doing a quick Google search , but over the years the arch community has seriously become off putting and straight up rude to very normal well cited questions that can't be easily debugged by reading the manual. "Oh but it's so so simple, all the person has to do is xy" well of course most veteran arch users including those who answer questions think that , because they've already debugged that on their own a while ago! Anything is easy when you know how to do it , everything is simple when you've been using Linux for the past 10 Years. I don't think the point of the video or most complaints about RTFM come from people actually not wanting to read the manual , rather from people who'd gotten condescending responses to legitimately complex issues and been just told off for not knowing every bit of detail related to it beforehand

So I'm someone who has a DIY attitude. I do want to read and learn how to do stuff, personally. I was speaking, in regards to how power users can be ugly towards others when solving problems. There are ways to show and tell someone to try to solve an issue themselves before reaching out without telling them to "RTFM". RTFM has become a meme that either people take so seriously that they leave Linux altogether or they don't take it seriously enough and never do their own research. So you either get people that get very upset and leave or very upset and demand that their questions get answered. Either way, it does nothing for the community and it wastes everyone's time. I'm saying the approach is wrong. And if their questions irritate you that much, you should (with all due respect) touch some grass. Why waste your own time in telling someone to "read a manual"? Do you actually bother to link where in the manual to go to? That would be helpful, instead of just saying to read for yourself. It gives them a starting point and then they can ask further questions, if they don't understand something. And I wouldn't just tell power users to touch grass. I'd also tell answer seekers the same thing if the power user becomes toxic towards them. We all should want to do better, in responding to others all around.

I used Mint but I needed more up to date drivers for my RX590 as I run audio through HDMI. The audio sounded all sorts of broken if I go beyond 30 hz. Switching over to the arch based Garuda Lite, which fixed it. I chose this for the Vanilla KDE experience, and it's still on the Arch branch. No complaints! Sure there's Endeavor but my current rig doesn't support it due to the lack of UEFI.
Yeah, whatever works for you for sure. Sometimes, it's better to go to something arch based for up to date drivers.
@@ImZipux I do love them all though! I had fedora on my laptop before I sold it, and have Mint on my Mini PC which is flawless there! It all depends on the use case for me!
Thanks for the shout out!
You're welcome! Thanks for the work you do on KZread.
is it OpenRC or Runit ?
According to trunk, runit is the only thing available out of the two. I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what I was running that day because I didn't really know what I was doing then. I was privileged to have got it running lol. But to answer your question, runit is on trunk, but I didn't find openrc.
Decided not give a dam about firefox, because most of people use phones and chrome, its not dead just to little marketshare to care about it.
how to set ascii logo i didnt find something on github
So I just uploaded a short, specifically on how to do this, which can be found right here: kzread.infoOM8AsMhTNvY Basically, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want the default ASCII Logo (your distro's ASCII Logo) or do you want your own? If you want the default, use builtin as the type in the logo section of your config.jsonc file. If you want your own, logo, you'll have to make it or find a way to have it made and then save it as a .txt file, and then you'll do "fastfetch --logo /path/to/file.txt". If you want this to happen every time you open a command prompt, just copy and paste that line into your .bashrc file.
what is the visualizer name?
I use cava as my audio visualizer.
@@ImZipux thanks, it looks very smooth
No problem and thank you as well. I configured it a little bit to get it that way. Feel free to use my dotfiles on cava, if you need a starting base, or wanting it to look just like that.
@@ImZipux thanks! i will
hey Zipux thanks and keep these videos coming there are too few creators like you showing real step-by-step detail. But what is jmtpfs useful for? I suppose it's specifically for Media Transfer Protocol, but why use that instead of Mass Storage Protocol, or adb?
Thank you very much for that. This is, indeed, specifically for Media Transfer Protocol. From my understanding of how this all works, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb gives you more control over what you can access on your device; things that can literally make or break your system. I choose Media Transfer Protocol because I don't need to access anything but things like my Documents, Music, Pictures, etc type of folders. Plus, I don't really know much about using it as a Mass Storage Protocol or adb and I'm afraid that I would brick my device, if I tried it. And I don't have the money to replace it if I screw up something along the way. This would be for someone that could mount and unmount their device, but want to keep it simple and not have access to everything within their device, or for someone (like me) who don't want to screw up anything. But as I said before, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb will give you more control over your device, and you can choose to go with those methods, if you need to access more than just your media folders and files.
@@ImZipux ah my family will soon find out they can't use Google Images anymore, since I've deGoogled us! Perhaps this command could backup their stuff whenever they plug a phone in to a pc, which would let me switch off debugging mode... flowchart time... ^^
Well the command just gives you access to the files via the PC. Just as a heads up, you still have to back them up to a HDD or something like that, if you're going to back up their files. I just didn't want you to think it would just automatically back it up because it's only meant to give it access, not to actually backup anything on its own.

Thank you for your comment. It never got updated anywhere in this video, but I talked about this more in-depth in a KZread Short and updated my code in GitHub to reflect this because someone had asked me about it previously. The short can be found here if you're interested: kzread.info0d-q_rgKoGM.
these are great videos - my setup is quite different and I have no previous knowledge of Lua but it is at just the right speed and level of detail for me to follow
Thank you, I appreciate that. I try to make my tutorials in a way that people can understand it, because coding can be a challenge for a lot of people. I try to simplify that process.
The only thing that sucks about using Arch - is the lack of a software store and the insane complexity of installing packages.
KDE Discover, or Gnome Software fixes this issue.
As someone who likes vivaldi (from a privavy standpoint, the company never really had bad stories associated and sync requires a 2nd password, not synced, for e2ee, instead of mozilla's account based e2e), when mv3 passes, ill be forced to go to floorp. While mozilla's new ceo seem to be doing a good job refocusing on firefox, I still dont trust them plainly just yet. But its a good path for now i suppose
I've never used Vivaldi before, but I've been hearing about how good some of the features are. I would personally use a fork of Firefox, if not Firefox itself. But I will say that you gotta go with what you're comfortable with. If you're concerned about privacy, you need to go with what you feel will give you the most privacy, and not listen to those that want you to be on what they're on. Everyone's different and is on a different path.
Comment for the algorithm :)
Firefox is a really good browser, and on desktop I use it. On Android, for security reasons, I'm forced to use Brave, Firefox does not (yet) have per site isolation.
Fair enough. I don't know what per site isolation is, but you gotta do what's best for you.
DistroTube is a Brave shill, I get it everyone has a favorite browser I guess, but I really dont want to run any chromium based browser as my main browser. I dislike Mozillas political crap but if we are going to talk about Politics it normally boils down to the lesser of two evils and Mozilla is that.
Yeah, and that's how I am. I don't want to run anything Chromium-based. I don't like the political stuff either.
Politics is very relevant to tech. Labor policy affects tech workers. Government contracts affect companies (& bolster closed source software). Platform's ability to self-censor is highly political & protected by policy. Right To Repair (or lack thereof) affects both hardware and software. Mergers of tech companies have regulatory approval processes and could be blocked by stronger antitrust regulations. Global relations with china, taiwan, and other countries affects the tech supply chain. Public school policy and funding affects tech education. Poverty affects individual priorities & ability to afford getting into tech. You can't disentangle politics from tech. Idk what DistroTube said but politics is part of basically everything. Edit: obvious one, privacy regulations.
My point was never about politics not being relevant to tech, nor was it about disentangling tech politics. Tech politics was not what I had an issue with, as it could be relevant to the conversation about tech, though I personally wouldn't want to discuss even those politics. I just don't want to watch a video about AwesomeWM and someone getting into their conservative views about general politics. That's inappropriate for the video, as it's not what it's about. Again, it's not tech politics I'm concerned about. It's anything else that's political that doesn't belong.
@@ImZipux ohh, okay. That makes sense.
The ONLY thing that keeps me on Chromium is Vivaldi's workspaces feature. Its the absolute best way to manage tabs
I've never used Vivaldi, so I don't know anything about how their workspaces work. But it sounds like a really cool feature to have.
yes, but, it's arch though, that has been part of the culture for... forever. My suggestion, don't come to arch, if you can't handle the toxicity. Not trying to be discuraging, or an asshole, but there are many alternatives. Heck even artix (which is just arch without systemd) has a more friendly community.... Not everyone that uses arch is toxic, but arch definetly has some supremacy idiots, who think they are above the rest, so really, just stay away from arch if you can't handle the "RTFM"
Though I highly disagree with you in places, I overall appreciate your comment. Culture is not an excuse to act in the ways that they do. My suggestion: they should touch grass. This does not discourage me whatsoever. In fact, it challenges me and gives me a reason to say "I did it on my own". That I never expressed in the video, but it is how I feel on the matter. I was speaking, in terms of others who have to go through RTFM. But I've dealt with this in the coding community as well, so I'm not new to it. Though I'm sure your intentions are in the right place, the alternatives bit just simply isn't true. Arch people complain when someone isn't using vanilla Arch and then they wanna gatekeep when they do switch but they're not "doing it right". The one thing I will agree with you on is that not everyone that uses Arch is toxic. The answer is not to stay away from Arch, but for Arch users to do better and for us to call them out when they're being lazy (amongst other things) by using RTFM on someone.
Two percent of millions of people is still plenty of people.
True, true.
Good points.
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
Let me save you guys 5 minutes, the answer is "No".
I'm watching this video from Firefox. But Mozilla is increasingly moving away from her former ideals. Neither quality nor ideal feels like a lose-lose situation.
I literally use it.
Whine whine.... Just your opinion. "Facts" are all over the place. You lost me at "Duck Duck Go"
As someone not up to date on this debate, can you elaborate?
Clickbait title, downvoted.
I mean google has got worse over time, since like 2022 it’s just worse as it shows terrible links at the top but I still use it as it’s better than most
Yes, exactly my point. While I use DuckDuckGo, I can recognize that Google is the best. Every search engine has its flaws, and it's just a matter of what you're willing to put up with.
DDG is mostly on a par with Google.
Me using MX Linux based on Debian
Used to love Firefox, since it was a slim, fast, resource-friendly browser that let me set text-only zoom PER WEBSITE instead of one general setting. So I could have a big font size on websites with lots of text without forms (fanfiction sites for instance), but could leave it small on form-heavy sites like social media. And then Firefox kept adding and adding and adding bloatware that just killed its usability for me. Now I'm using Opra. And am experiencing a similar rise of bloatware (cough "AI" cough). Not nearly as bad yet, but I came to loathe Opera updates. Until Mozilla removes like 60% of unnecessary "features" from Firefox, I'm not going back.
Yes, Firefox is definitely customizable in those ways. It's why I like using Firefox. But if the goal is to become more minimal and not so bloated, I completely understand not wanting to run Firefox. There are some things that I don't find useful about Firefox, personally. But for me, I do a lot of customization to it to where I don't see those things that I don't want to see (like, pocket, for example). If I were to switch to something else, it would just be a fork of Firefox. I don't know how much different things would be, but there's just things I rely on Firefox for, as a browser. I've used OperaGX before, and it was good, until it lost all of my bookmarks. The save button did not take affect when I hit it and it erased everything. That's my biggest issue with Opera; I'm still burned from that experience.
@@ImZipux Ouch. Losing all the bookmarks? Yeah, I'd kick that browser to the curb as well.
If your goal is to counter “much bloat” then you probably shouldn’t be using the browser that is just chrome + extra spyware
Really embodying the accelerationist mindset, going to the most bloated browser possible to "own" Firefox
If you want privacy then don’t use opera, idc if you use firefox or brave or anything else, just keep away from opera
I love Firefox.
Firefox is great! 😁
@@ImZipux I have been using Firefox since around 2005. I just haven't seen a need to move. I have tried chrome and I just don't get on with it.
I wouldn't worry about it then. If you're content with Firefox, just stay with Firefox. Use what you know you're comfortable with.
@@ImZipux I aren't worried. I just ot funny we get these arguments trotted out every so often. Also, can you see my comment in the thread? I seem to be having issues seeing my replies in the thread.
I just see the one comment, other than your response just now. I don't know much you've replied.
with how bad the chrome / chromium will get with ADS, the market share of firefo will grow.
Well, at the very least, they'll be some people that leave chrome/chromium for something else. I hope they go to firefox, but you never know what the next big thing is.
@@ImZipux the next big thing will show up whenever people have a reason to depart from firefox. which will show up when firefox has any issues to fix. At the moment, all of the issues that FF users seem to be experiencing are very obviously associated with Google-provided services and are easily circumventable. the reason you gave in the video for people choosing chrome over firefox is that chrome "exists" and "is the most popular browser", which I don't quite follow. Well actually I do follow it, the path it took me in looks like this: ⭕
You make an excellent point about the next big thing. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with Firefox. I think it's fine just the way it is. Some people like the Google environment and wanna stay in it. And I think I see your point? That the logic is kinda circular? People want what others are using. It's no different than the situation with Wayland. People feel like they have to go to Wayland because everyone else is going to it. That's all I meant by that. Like, it's the new (not new though), shiny thing that everyone wants so they can be cool. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that part of the video.
unfortunately there is a lot of people switching to edge...
Get 'em Z!!
simple and to the point review. Thank you algorithm!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad this has helped you out.
Why would anyone use debian on the desktop lol
incredible stability, good gaming support, stays out the way, decent support, nice guis for most all system related activities, easy to install and use. It's not exciting or fun, but it is very good. Also, the xz vuln. got into arch, and debian testing, but not stable. Which validates their approach, I think.
Awesome
Thanks, I appreciate that!
@@ImZipux I plan on building my own os someday. One that merges my windows and Ubuntu experience, with non of the drawbacks💟

Apt has broken my debial at least 10 times by now
Really? That's interesting. I've only had it break on me the one time.
This is the best video on Arch.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
By the way, I used to use Arch until an update broke it. I've been using Ubuntu
Oh yeah, Arch tends to have that effect on people. I'm sorry to hear that you had to switch, as a result. But I hope you're happy, no matter what distro you choose.
After like 10 years going back and forth with different linux distributions on dual boot with windows, I ended on debian since the 12.0 release. And I haven't touch windows for like 3 months.
I'm happy to hear you've switched over to Linux fully. I've dual booted with windows once and it just wasn't for me, but there's people into it and it works for them.
RTFM is literally one of the main reasons that I stopped using Linux
And that shouldn't be. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
@@ImZipux <3
Try a different distro i would say. Sure using supremacy distros like arch, gentoo, or lfs yes that will yield this result, but debian based distros (or even arch-based) tent to be a lot more chill.
@@sebastian_lindau-skands i moved to mac a while ago and haven't looked back. I just like how painless everything is. Yes it's not as customizable but everything works out of the box with 0 configuration. Makes my life easier. I undestand the appeal of linux but it's just not for me.
Sorry, but you completely misunderstood what RTFM means. Distros like Arch are for people who WANT to read the manual and learn how to do stuff. And then someone who just want to say "I use Arch, BTW" ask a question that indicates that they didn't even try to solve it themselves. That's irritating and Arch Linux isn't going to give them the experience they're looking for. There are probably some people using RTFM to put themselves above someone who doesn't want to deal with documentation, but assuming that that's the most of people, who help other arch users debug some nasty configuration challenges for nothing in exchange... Let's say that I don't think that it's not them being unreasonable, but you.
Is arch for people who want to read a manual though? I'm sorry but I really do think that over the past say 5 years with arch install scripts and the easier streamlined installation process that arch has become the defacto "minimalist-ish" distro for most noobies who'd prefer not to run a distro with a bunch of pre installed crap, not a distro for hardcore power users who want to read and understand how everything works (this is all in the scope of Linux users of course , to your average windows or Mac user any Linux user is advanced to a certain degree) So knowing that I do believe that "some" of the things asked around the internet can be solved by unironically reading the f manual , or by doing a quick Google search , but over the years the arch community has seriously become off putting and straight up rude to very normal well cited questions that can't be easily debugged by reading the manual. "Oh but it's so so simple, all the person has to do is xy" well of course most veteran arch users including those who answer questions think that , because they've already debugged that on their own a while ago! Anything is easy when you know how to do it , everything is simple when you've been using Linux for the past 10 Years. I don't think the point of the video or most complaints about RTFM come from people actually not wanting to read the manual , rather from people who'd gotten condescending responses to legitimately complex issues and been just told off for not knowing every bit of detail related to it beforehand
I'd like to add that the knowledge of WHERE to actually look is in most cases the actual problem , not reading within itself. If I ask a question about something that I straight up don't know , my pc not booting for example , as a normal guy I don't even know WHERE to look to try and debug my issue. Is it grub? Is it the kernel? Is it Mesa fucking up my graphics? Oh right , I don't even know what Mesa is , because I'm a regular user , but you do , and you've experienced this before , so why not give a normal answer and move on instead ofbeing a jerk?
@@slaier8727Just to quickly answer your initial question, yes. Regardless of the ease of entry now, Arch Linux still maintains its philosophy of user centrality.
So I'm someone who has a DIY attitude. I do want to read and learn how to do stuff, personally. I was speaking, in regards to how power users can be ugly towards others when solving problems. There are ways to show and tell someone to try to solve an issue themselves before reaching out without telling them to "RTFM". RTFM has become a meme that either people take so seriously that they leave Linux altogether or they don't take it seriously enough and never do their own research. So you either get people that get very upset and leave or very upset and demand that their questions get answered. Either way, it does nothing for the community and it wastes everyone's time. I'm saying the approach is wrong. And if their questions irritate you that much, you should (with all due respect) touch some grass. Why waste your own time in telling someone to "read a manual"? Do you actually bother to link where in the manual to go to? That would be helpful, instead of just saying to read for yourself. It gives them a starting point and then they can ask further questions, if they don't understand something. And I wouldn't just tell power users to touch grass. I'd also tell answer seekers the same thing if the power user becomes toxic towards them. We all should want to do better, in responding to others all around.
@@slaier8727 i accidentally fucked by bootloader and even EFI partition once and solved it without asking stupid questions. didn't take too long tbh. arch is unstable af and you should only be using it if you know how to fix shit when it gets fucked
