 Every once in a while I go through and put out a call for questions that I can then answer in a video. It makes for an easy video for me and also it seems to be a bit fun for you. So today I have 11 questions for you guys and some answers. So let's go ahead and jump into the first question. The first question is why wouldn't someone want their knit system in a snap? Now this question comes from Zany. I'm not going to read everybody's names out but I know who asked this question. Obviously this is Tyler and he's trolling me. This is what he's doing. He's trolling me for sure because he knows that I'm passionate about how much I hate snaps. Now my answer to this question is pretty simple in that I don't know. I don't know why somebody would want that. I would also question the technical ability for this to actually happen. Now you've got to remember I'm not a programmer, I'm not a Linux kernel specialist but from my understanding it would be hard for a containerized system to then interact with the kernel at that type of level but again maybe it's possible and I just don't know. But I would love to understand why somebody would want that because even if it is possible it doesn't seem like it's something that would be really necessary because we have a mutable system, you know distros. We have some things like silver blue and tails and these distros. Those things exist for the reason that this system would then exist. I don't know. It's really weird. Maybe they're not the same thing and I'm just, you know, they're not associated as much as I think that they are. But the point is I don't know. So that's a horrible beginning to the whole question to answer things because I don't know. Anyways, moving on to the second question. So this one is how's the Python learning going? Also is there a specific goal for you in terms of learning it or did you just want to learn another scripting language, aka why are you learning it? So for those of you who don't know, I started learning Python a couple months ago. As for how is it going? It's still in the beginning stages. I haven't put a lot of effort into it quite yet. I'm still just learning the basics and the main reason for that is that I've been focusing more on learning bash and I think that that has actually proven to be the right decision because I've been using bash more often when scripts and stuff. Really, because I've been splitting my focus, I haven't focused as much on the Python as I want to, but I will eventually be getting back into it. I also found a C project that I kind of want to start to. So it'll be interesting to see how those things kind of split themselves time wise, but also remember, I'm not a developer. All this stuff is just a hobby. So as for why I'm learning, it's just for fun. Now, I would love to get proficient enough and see where I could go through and fork the space FM, space FM file manager, which I found the other day or somebody suggested to me the other day, and I would love to, you know, continue on. But as of this moment, that's just a pipe dream. So anyways, that's the question that that's the answer to that question. As you can tell, words are going to be hard in this question in this video. So I'm just going to move on to number three. Why didn't you use Docker as snap in your get lab challenge? Now, I'm not sure what this question actually means. Does that mean you can use there's a snap of Docker? If that's true, then the reason why I didn't use it is because I didn't know that. If that's not what you're asking, why then I use Docker in the get lab challenge is because I was too stupid to figure it out. Tyler did use Docker and he didn't get very far either, but he got farther than I did. So technically, he won that challenge. So go Tyler. Okay. Question number four, what's your opinion about Devin 11 as a daily driver? Is it possible to do a full demonstration of installing a window managers like Qtile or BSPWM on Devin 11 minimum? Now, this is obviously two questions. So the first one is, is Devin 11 a good daily driver? The answer to that question is yes, of course it is. If you can get it installed and it's fairly easy to install once you get the right ISO, Devin 11 is great. It's very stable. It works very well on most hardware that's not bleeding edge. So Devin can be a great daily driver, especially if you're seeking that stability over having the most recent software. Now, if you're interested in having the most recent software, then you're not going to want anything to do with at least Devin 11 stable. If you want, you could always go to the unstable branch and get more recent hardware support and software. So depending on which direction you want to go, either or would actually be fairly good for a daily driver. If that's what you want to do, personally, for me, I wouldn't use Devin, but that's just mostly on how much I was pissed off at their website. I mean, it's a petty reason, but for the most part, Devin was a good experience. It was just a matter of finding the right ISO, because if you don't have, if you have some kind of hardware in your system that requires non-free stuff, you have to find that specific ISO. And while it's not as hard as I originally thought it was to find that ISO, it's definitely not the easiest. So that's the question that now, would it be possible for me to do a demonstration of installing window managers like Qtala BSBWM on Devin 11? The answer to the question is, yes, of course, it would be possible. The question of whether or not I would do it. I don't know yet. Now I have done a DWM version of what you're asking for, but it's on a Buntu, but the process would be exactly the same. So I will leave a link to that in the video description. If I remember, if not, you can just do a search for how to install DWM on Dubuntu, and it should come up. Okay. So the fifth question, do you know if there's any way in DWM to make a scratchpad for a GUI application? For example, a browser or a graphical text editor been trying for a bit with the scratchpad patch, but can't seem to get working. Now here's what you need to know about that. It is possible to do a GUI scratchpad, but the thing is, is the class has to be the same every time because the way DWM pulls up scratchpads is by class name. So a browser is not going to work because the browser class name, at least in some browsers changes depending on what tab is active. So for example, in Qtile, the class name of Qtile changes. Well, one of the class names at least changes based on what tab is active or not Qtile, excuse me, Qt browser. I misspoke there. But anyways, the class changes. So that means Qt, Qt browser would not go through and be a good option for a scratchpad. I'm not sure about how Firefox would work. I'm not sure if the class changes there or not, it may or may not. Now, the question of how you actually get this done is fairly complicated. And I'm not going to go through it in this video. But if you go to my GitLab down below and look at my suckless utils in my in my repos, you should see how I did. Now I have a couple of GUI applications set up as scratchpads. I have Bitwarden and I have Git Kraken. So both of those were very easy to set up. It's just a matter of putting in the class name in the appropriate place. If you still need help with that and would like a video, let me know in the comments section below and I might be able to subscribe to the video on that. Question number six, this is going to be an easy question to answer. When is when plan nine answers? That question is going to be never I don't ever plan on doing plan nine. Tyler did plan nine. And from his experiences with that, I would not enjoy myself. So I'm just going to say nope to that one. So you can stop asking now, right? That's a that's a that's a good thing, right? You know, the answer, you no longer need to pester me about using it. I'm not going to use plan nine. So there's that one. All right. Question number seven, do you like see Python, Java or Haskell? That last one made me laugh. Also, what makes you prefer ZSH over Bash? I got two questions here. So the answer to the first one is of those that you named, the one that I like most is probably C. I enjoy C the most because it's the one that I've worked with the most. Python would probably be second. I've never used Java in my entire life, and I hate Haskell with a passion. So there's your answers on that. What makes you prefer ZSH over Bash? Now, the main reason I prefer ZSH over Bash is simply because it has a lot of features that I use, things like auto suggestions, plug-in support. It is easier to theme than Bash is, at least in my opinion. So you can go through and do a lot with ZSH that it takes some effort to do with Bash. Now, it doesn't mean you can't do those things with Bash. You can. It just takes extra effort. So that's the reason why I use ZSH because it comes with a lot of that stuff built in or easily added through a plug-in. And I enjoy being lazy. So ZSH is my shelf choice. Okay. So question number eight is going to be, is it possible for you to make a few more Qtile videos, be it racing or installing it? The answer to that question is yes. Eventually I will do some more Qtile stuff. I have already made one. It wasn't very good, but it is there if you want to go through and check it out. But eventually, yes, I would love to do more with Qtile, especially as I get more into actually learning Python because Qtile is written in Python. And it would allow me to get some experience, at least with Python in a kind of a real world setting. Okay. Next question. What are your top three window managers? Just your collab when and have you jailbroken your iPhone yet? If not, are you planning to sew three questions again? Three good questions. So the first one is my top three window managers. Now, this one is actually a little easy and a little hard. So the first two are easy. DWM is my favorite. I3 comes in a close second. I3 is mostly for nostalgia. I don't think I could go through and live in it again just simply because I'm so used to being in a dynamic window manager instead of a manual. But I still like it a lot. It was my first tiling window manager. It holds a place in my heart and always will and probably will always be in that second position because it's really, really good. And if I was to use a manual Tyler again, I3 would probably be it. Now for the third one, that's a little harder because there's so many that I use. I would probably have to say something like DSPWM. It's really good and really customizable, but I haven't spent as much time in it as I would like alternatively. I could probably answer QTile. They'd probably become in a close fourth, I guess. I like both of those probably about it equally. My least favorite window manager, since nobody asked, is Xmonad. So yeah, I don't care for Xmonads. It's just it doesn't like me. I don't like it. It's the thing. Mostly it's my inability to get my head around Haskell and the Haskell libraries. And it's just weird for me. Anyways, I can't do that. So then that that leading into the next question, a distro tube collab. When? Well, the answer to that question is, I don't know, someday maybe I would love to have a chat with with Derek. I'm sure we could we'd get along like a house on fire. We both would talk about Linux for, you know, a while. But as for when that would happen, I don't know. We're both busy guys and we both have YouTube channels to run. And if we were to talk, it would be really hard for me not to steal all of his ideas and then go through and make videos about them. So maybe someday, I don't know. Anyway, so the next one, have you jailbroken your iPhone yet? So a few months ago, I went through and switched to iOS in an iPhone 11 Pro Max. That's right here. And I'm enjoying it as it is. And I have not jailbroken it yet. Will I ever? Maybe someday after I switched to Android 11 or back to Android. But as of right now, no, I haven't and probably not planned to do so while I'm using as my daily driver just simply because I need it to be stable. And the last time I jailbroke something, I or an iPhone, I had a tendency to just go crazy with tweaking it and just made it unstable. So I really need my phone to actually, you know, be good and work well. So anyways, that's the answer to that question. This right here is not a question. So I'm not sure who submitted this, but I'm not answering that. That's not a question. And if I were if it were phrased as a question, the answer would that be also probably never. So I put that right there with plan nine. Although probably would be more likely to use plan nine and temple less. But mainly because I have at least heard of plan nine more than Temple West. I'm not actually sure what Temple West is. It seems like there was some kind of controversy around it or something. I don't know. It literally the only reason I know the name is because people keep asking me to try it. So anyways, being under the what I believe is the last question. BSD, when this is a good question, because this one will happen Sunday, not Sunday, but some day when that will actually be more when I get around to it and feel like it. But eventually I would, yes, love to try one of the BSD spins simply because Tyler's used it. And he seems to have had a good experience to the point where he's switching everything to open BSD and just having a grand old time. So I can't be left out of that kind of thing. So that is something that I will try eventually. So that is, I believe that's the last question. So thanks to everybody who has gone through and send in their questions. If you have questions you'd like to see in another video like this, you can leave them in the comment section below or tweet me on Twitter, tweet me on Twitter or toot me on Macedon toot me. Can we just pause for a minute and say how stupid the word toot is? I mean, I know they're trying to be funny, but that's just I mean, God, you could have come up with some some something different than that. Anyways, you follow me on Twitter at the Linux cast. You can follow me on Macedon. That link will be in the video description below because you can't have I believe I'm at Dr. M. Dub at Distur, toot on Macedon. But it's linking to that is actually fairly difficult, apparently. I don't know. It's anyway, it's the it's in the video description below. You can also support me on Patreon at patreon.com slash Linux cast. Before I go, let's take a moment to thank my current patrons.
