"Hey, DT! What About A.I. Integration In Linux?" (Plus Other Questions)

• Wayland is the correct display server like how Rust is the correct programming language. After many years on linux, I'm getting comfortable with X and it's quirks. Finally can solve most issues with ancient nVidia graphics cards on OS upgrades. It will take some time for me to be comfortable switching to Wayland only to experience more churn. One day I will try Rust too. But it all takes time and I rather stick to what I know for now.

• dt you are a smart man

• I'm also staying away from Wayland for the time being. Nvidia on EndeavourOS, KDE Plasma 6.

• i have mx150 nvidia graphic card with ubuntu 22.04. i heard 24.04 is wayland, so is it ok for me to upgrade to 24.04 or should i just stick with 22.04 because of my old nvidia graphic card.

• Likewise, I figure I need AI like a dog needs a side pocket, much less do I like forced sign-up.

• What amazes me about Wayland is after 15 years, it’s still experimental!

• Linux is desktop trash af.

• Hey DT, I have no idea why this is but all Linux DISTROS have a problem for me. The problem is windows audio adjustments. If I disable them in windows, I get the same audio quality as Linux but I want to copy them over. It is provided by my manufacturer. I also have an issue where Linux will absolutely cap my internet speed to 3mb/s when connected to my personal hotspot. (Doesn't happen when connected to my wifi.) Please provide a fix.

• @ 4:02 Having a separate file to follow along for terminal command line instruction.
  I have always set DT on the browser on one workspace and my own terminal open in another workspace.
  I may try to learn how to have my terminal open on another monitor or even another computer and monitor.
  I have two older, meaning ancient computers that I have been able to bring back to service with DT's help and others.
  Heu thanks DT.

• Software and info can be evil. It's the myth of Apollo. With great knowledge comes great responsibility. You wouldn't give nukes to chimps for example. As human powers increase we're staring more and more in the face of it.

• Hey, DT! You've talked about Fish a lot for your terminal shell. Would ever do a comparison video between Fish and Nushell? I know you have videos on both but your Nushell one was several years ago.

• You are absolutely corrct with Wayland. It's really nice and smooth experience with wayland but it's not ready. I am running Tuxedo OS on my Tuxedo Pulse but it has huge bugs with UI

• April fools' day is not universal. In my country we have a similar day but it's on december 28.

• – One Love

• if i wanted "AI" on my computer i would have stayed with Microsoft os

• the wayland not being ready thing is only really true on nvidia on intel/amd is is good

• hyprland is a great wayland compositor

• I don't think Solaris and the BSDs will be enough to sustain X11. Yes, X11 will have a large userbase for a long time to come, but the pool of developers and maintainers for X11 is already running dry. When the X11 maintainers themselves are all switching to Wayland because X11 is unmaintainable, this is not a situation that can be solved by having new community members step up to try to replace the existing maintainers. As for positive reasons to switch to Wayland, battery life, gestures, and smooth animations top the list. Kinetic scrolling is a big quality of life improvement for me.

• AI is the IMAGE of the Beast

• can doom emacs run doom?

• Yeah i roll my eyes everytime i see some new product with ai integration

• DT: "I will never install software that asks me to set up a account"
  Also DT 5 minutes later: "I'm fine with AI on Linux"

• the WT video was nice, enjoyed it

• I've been using Linux now for about 30 years
  Wayland is perfectly usable and I have been using it for about a year exclusively now, and considering everything is basically dropping support for X11, good luck keeping at it.
  You use NVidia on Linux? no wonder you are having troubles with it. There an Open Source way things are done, then there is the proprietary BS NVidia way

• Fish is fantastic except I wish it was POSIX compliant

• I agree with you DT, the best cheat sheets are the ones that you make for yourself. If you have to think about what you are putting into a document that you are writing, it helps those points stick better in your mind

• WT is DT's evil twin 🤣

• Ah, I just can't use Wayland. There are a lot of bugs and problems preventing me to do it. Like problem with global shortcuts for example.

• Hey DT, why should we not trust an atom?

• The Wayland shills are not trolls. They are Wayland promoters in search of beta testers for the buggy software. If big channels like yours switch then maybe a significant amount of your followers and viewers might switch too, which means lots of new beta testers. Don't always assume trolling, some commentators have ulterior motives.

• Hey DT, have you thought about making a poll and ask your users what kind of stuff they're using? Something like the french guy did https://youtu.be/8V8uQbIFlh0?si=RnGOlIRRnhKEYVcN

• I have absolutely nothing against X11, but it is in a really bad place right now. The project is absolutely huge, there is a not person alive who is familiar with more than a few parts of the API, which is filled to the brim with millions of lines of code of nothing but legacy crud that no one even understand anymore. They are losing developers, and unable to find enough maintainers (or even board members) to keep it up to date, let alone develop new features. Whatever the average user's opinion is of Wayland, there is a legitimate reasons why developers are moving towards it, and it is not because of some petty flame-war or conspiracy against X11. The project deserves full credit for serving us well and getting us this far over the past decades, but Wayland taking over and becoming the new "norm" is likely not more than a year or two away. If you are someone reading this and resisting it for flame-war stuff or because it had bugs last time you attempted it 2 years ago, is not helping anyone, least of all you. I couldn't care less what anyone else uses, but it is only damaging to Linux users to keep spreading outdated information that is no longer even applicable.

  It should also be noted that the "NVIDIA bad" stuff is a bit outdated. NVIDIA is never without some problems on Linux, regardless of X11/Wayland, but the major esync issue has been fixed and will be hitting the repos of most distros very soon. This was the final major hurdle preventing widespread adoption on Wayland, and pretty much every other problem with NVIDIA is fixable with configuration.

• Hey DT: Great video! Just wanted to point out that at least for *BSD OS's that they wait on adoption of new software (like Wayland) until it becomes proven according to their policies. I love the stability of those systems, but in general their space is definitely servers as opposed to desktops.

• NGL, kind of tired about all the crap about Wayland. Wayland is awful. After using it again for a week recently, I was left with the impression it is irredeemably bad and will never be a legitimate replacement for xorg. It breaks almost every script and system app I have, with no viable alternatives or plans of recreating functionality in xorg.
