So, bef- if you have any questions, and So, bef- if you have any questions, and So, bef- if you have any questions, and um um um get those first, and then I will go into get those first, and then I will go into get those first, and then I will go into window managers. You're an inspiration to me in my You're an inspiration to me in my journey into Linux and my main channel I journey into Linux and my main channel I journey into Linux and my main channel I learn about Linux. That's cool. I've joined the course. Great. I've joined the course. Great. Welcome on board. Welcome on board. Welcome on board. school.com/linux. school.com/linux. school.com/linux. We're building the best Linux community We're building the best Linux community We're building the best Linux community on the internet. on the internet. on the internet. And interesting what what's really cool And interesting what what's really cool And interesting what what's really cool is if you go to school.com is if you go to school.com is if you go to school.com and go to the discovery and go to the discovery and go to the discovery communities communities communities If you search for Linux If you search for Linux If you search for Linux then you will see that my we are then you will see that my we are then you will see that my we are actually number one already. We only actually number one already. We only actually number one already. We only started like started like started like what is it 4 weeks ago?
-
what is it 4 weeks ago? what is it 4 weeks ago? So we are we are the number one Linux So we are we are the number one Linux So we are we are the number one Linux community on the school platform and as community on the school platform and as community on the school platform and as you see there are 779 you see there are 779 you see there are 779 communities communities communities that match on this keyword. that match on this keyword. that match on this keyword. So So So out of almost a thousand communities we out of almost a thousand communities we out of almost a thousand communities we are already number one. So are already number one. So are already number one. So that tells you that we're doing that tells you that we're doing that tells you that we're doing something right here. And that's only something right here. And that's only something right here. And that's only because of because of because of of the community and the people in it of of the community and the people in it of of the community and the people in it of course. All right. All right. Um What is your preferred desktop What is your preferred desktop environment? Yes, that's what we're environment? Yes, that's what we're environment? Yes, that's what we're going to get into. Love to know how to going to get into. Love to know how to going to get into. Love to know how to install Hyperland in my Arch Linux after install Hyperland in my Arch Linux after install Hyperland in my Arch Linux after installing Gnome. installing Gnome. installing Gnome. I tried and I messed up big time. I tried and I messed up big time. I tried and I messed up big time. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, how can one join Cube Craft? Okay, Um, how can one join Cube Craft? Okay, Um, how can one join Cube Craft? Okay, well we can do two questions First of all, he's asking about Cube First of all, he's asking about Cube Craft. Now this is my private program Craft. Now this is my private program Craft. Now this is my private program where I teach people how to land DevOps where I teach people how to land DevOps where I teach people how to land DevOps jobs jobs jobs and I take a unconventional approach for and I take a unconventional approach for and I take a unconventional approach for learning or teaching Linux learning or teaching Linux learning or teaching Linux where where where like the actual free Linux course that like the actual free Linux course that like the actual free Linux course that you can join for free. That is actually you can join for free. That is actually you can join for free. That is actually taken out of here. So, it's professional taken out of here. So, it's professional taken out of here. So, it's professional material that people pay uh thousands of material that people pay uh thousands of material that people pay uh thousands of dollars for.
-
dollars for. dollars for. Um Um Um but what I do in there is when we go but what I do in there is when we go but what I do in there is when we go into Linux Advanced is I take the into Linux Advanced is I take the into Linux Advanced is I take the unconventional approach unconventional approach unconventional approach where we where we where we uh uh uh build an Arch Linux system from scratch. build an Arch Linux system from scratch. build an Arch Linux system from scratch. So, I'm going to teach you So, I'm going to teach you So, I'm going to teach you how to set up Arch Linux from nothing. how to set up Arch Linux from nothing. how to set up Arch Linux from nothing. So, you all you have is a blinking So, you all you have is a blinking So, you all you have is a blinking cursor cursor cursor and then we're going to learn how a and then we're going to learn how a and then we're going to learn how a bootloader works. bootloader works. bootloader works. We're going to partition the disks We're going to partition the disks We're going to partition the disks ourselves by hand. We're going to ourselves by hand. We're going to ourselves by hand. We're going to encrypt them. We're going to set up encrypt them. We're going to set up encrypt them. We're going to set up logical volumes. logical volumes. logical volumes. We're going to set up networking, We're going to set up networking, We're going to set up networking, everything through systemd. everything through systemd. everything through systemd. And then we're actually going to install And then we're actually going to install And then we're actually going to install Hyprland, okay? So, it is a very Hyprland, okay? So, it is a very Hyprland, okay? So, it is a very unconventional approach of teaching unconventional approach of teaching unconventional approach of teaching Linux, but it works extremely well. Like Linux, but it works extremely well. Like Linux, but it works extremely well. Like all of our students, they absolutely all of our students, they absolutely all of our students, they absolutely love it and they're landing jobs because love it and they're landing jobs because love it and they're landing jobs because of this. of this. of this. So, to your point of can you teach me So, to your point of can you teach me So, to your point of can you teach me how to install Hyprland? how to install Hyprland? how to install Hyprland? The course is right here waiting for The course is right here waiting for The course is right here waiting for you.

you. you. Um yeah, to answer the question of how Um yeah, to answer the question of how Um yeah, to answer the question of how to join CubeCraft to join CubeCraft to join CubeCraft you go to uh cubecraft.dev you go to uh cubecraft.dev you go to uh cubecraft.dev here. here. here. I will send that link as well. I will send that link as well. I will send that link as well. Uh we don't just let anyone in. We first Uh we don't just let anyone in. We first Uh we don't just let anyone in. We first see if you are a good fit for the see if you are a good fit for the see if you are a good fit for the community. community. community. And um And um And um if you are a good fit, that's why you if you are a good fit, that's why you if you are a good fit, that's why you have to make an application then you have to make an application then you have to make an application then you will be invited to join. will be invited to join. will be invited to join. Uh so, this is uh how you can uh access Uh so, this is uh how you can uh access Uh so, this is uh how you can uh access CubeCraft and that's actually where I CubeCraft and that's actually where I CubeCraft and that's actually where I teach you how to install Arch Linux. teach you how to install Arch Linux. teach you how to install Arch Linux. Uh and not only that, we go Uh and not only that, we go Uh and not only that, we go after that, I will teach you after that, I will teach you after that, I will teach you Kubernetes, how to land DevOps jobs, and Kubernetes, how to land DevOps jobs, and Kubernetes, how to land DevOps jobs, and actually how to get a six-figure job, actually how to get a six-figure job, actually how to get a six-figure job, okay? So, but since you asked that I okay? So, but since you asked that I okay? So, but since you asked that I just uh while I'm while I'm mentioning just uh while I'm while I'm mentioning just uh while I'm while I'm mentioning it, it, it, um I do live mentoring here every single um I do live mentoring here every single um I do live mentoring here every single week. week. week. You get you get to go on calls with me You get you get to go on calls with me You get you get to go on calls with me directly, and I'll help you there. So, directly, and I'll help you there. So, directly, and I'll help you there. So, this is specifically for people who are this is specifically for people who are this is specifically for people who are ready to land six-figure DevOps jobs ready to land six-figure DevOps jobs ready to land six-figure DevOps jobs like I did. This is what this is for.

like I did. This is what this is for. like I did. This is what this is for. So, I hope that answers your question. So, I hope that answers your question. So, I hope that answers your question. Let me uh know if you have other Let me uh know if you have other Let me uh know if you have other questions. questions. questions. Uh Uh Uh okay. Well, okay. Well, okay. Well, then I think we are ready to go into then I think we are ready to go into then I think we are ready to go into um um um uh uh uh def- desktop environments. Do you pay def- desktop environments. Do you pay def- desktop environments. Do you pay for CubeCraft? Yes, this is a paid for CubeCraft? Yes, this is a paid for CubeCraft? Yes, this is a paid uh offering. uh offering. uh offering. This is for people who are seriously This is for people who are seriously This is for people who are seriously considering DevOps jobs and who are considering DevOps jobs and who are considering DevOps jobs and who are willing to invest in themselves. willing to invest in themselves. willing to invest in themselves. CubeCraft is not free. It It requires an CubeCraft is not free. It It requires an CubeCraft is not free. It It requires an investment. investment. investment. Because I am in there teaching people uh Because I am in there teaching people uh Because I am in there teaching people uh directly, right? You You're You're directly, right? You You're You're directly, right? You You're You're paying for the my courses. There's over paying for the my courses. There's over paying for the my courses. There's over 80 hours of courses in there, but also 80 hours of courses in there, but also 80 hours of courses in there, but also my direct mentorship. So, when you join, my direct mentorship. So, when you join, my direct mentorship. So, when you join, you get direct mentorship from me. I you get direct mentorship from me. I you get direct mentorship from me. I support you in the journey. So, that is support you in the journey. So, that is support you in the journey. So, that is why CubeCraft is not free. why CubeCraft is not free. why CubeCraft is not free. Cool. Now, let's go into window managers Cool. Now, let's go into window managers Cool. Now, let's go into window managers um um um and desktop environments. So, and desktop environments. So, and desktop environments. So, in the free Linux course, we in the free Linux course, we in the free Linux course, we we focus on the command line, right?
-
we focus on the command line, right? we focus on the command line, right? We focus on the command line, We focus on the command line, We focus on the command line, and I teach you how to set up the and I teach you how to set up the and I teach you how to set up the command line from scratch. command line from scratch. command line from scratch. We work completely on the command line. We work completely on the command line. We work completely on the command line. But, as you see here in my day-to-day But, as you see here in my day-to-day But, as you see here in my day-to-day work, I do have a graphical work, I do have a graphical work, I do have a graphical environment for Linux, right? I am not environment for Linux, right? I am not environment for Linux, right? I am not working only on the command line working only on the command line working only on the command line uh because you have to use a web uh because you have to use a web uh because you have to use a web browser, you have to video calls. You browser, you have to video calls. You browser, you have to video calls. You So, I I do everything. So, all of my So, I I do everything. So, all of my So, I I do everything. So, all of my content creation, my business, my DevOps content creation, my business, my DevOps content creation, my business, my DevOps work, all of this is done on Linux. And work, all of this is done on Linux. And work, all of this is done on Linux. And I do that every I've done that for years I do that every I've done that for years I do that every I've done that for years now. now. now. And And And so you need a graphical environment, so you need a graphical environment, so you need a graphical environment, okay? So, there are two types. Actually, okay? So, there are two types. Actually, okay? So, there are two types. Actually, let's let's let's do create a note here. desktop environments and window desktop environments and window managers. managers. managers. So, there are roughly two types of So, there are roughly two types of So, there are roughly two types of um um um graphical environments. So, first of graphical environments. So, first of graphical environments. So, first of all, all, all, first of all, so we should establish first of all, so we should establish first of all, so we should establish that uh in the free course, you learn that uh in the free course, you learn that uh in the free course, you learn how to work on the command line.
-
And if you don't know what the command And if you don't know what the command line is, then we we did it exactly here. line is, then we we did it exactly here. line is, then we we did it exactly here. And we did a live stream where I talked And we did a live stream where I talked And we did a live stream where I talked like for like for like for 3 hours about or 2 hours about 3 hours about or 2 hours about 3 hours about or 2 hours about the differences between the the command the differences between the the command the differences between the the command line and everything. So, that is all in line and everything. So, that is all in line and everything. So, that is all in the free Linux course. the free Linux course. the free Linux course. Um so, that is the the CLI, the command Um so, that is the the CLI, the command Um so, that is the the CLI, the command line interface. And what we're referring to here is the And what we're referring to here is the GUI. So, the GUI. So, the GUI. So, the uh graphical user interface. uh graphical user interface. uh graphical user interface. That is why the what these terms stand That is why the what these terms stand That is why the what these terms stand for, right? You have the CLI on the for, right? You have the CLI on the for, right? You have the CLI on the command line. command line. command line. So, this is the command line where you So, this is the command line where you So, this is the command line where you where you do your work. where you do your work. where you do your work. But what all of these things that you But what all of these things that you But what all of these things that you see here on my screen, that is in the see here on my screen, that is in the see here on my screen, that is in the graphical user interface. graphical user interface. graphical user interface. Now, Now, Now, GUIs. There are two types GUIs. There are two types GUIs. There are two types of GUIs, roughly.
-
of GUIs, roughly. of GUIs, roughly. That's desktop environments, So, what you see here, what what you see So, what you see here, what what you see me using is a window manager. me using is a window manager. me using is a window manager. You see that I don't have a um you don't You see that I don't have a um you don't You see that I don't have a um you don't see any icons on my desktop. I don't see any icons on my desktop. I don't see any icons on my desktop. I don't have a start button that I can click. have a start button that I can click. have a start button that I can click. I do have a a few bars here. I do have a a few bars here. I do have a a few bars here. Oh, hold on. Why is my internet? Oh, hold on. Why is my internet? Oh, hold on. Why is my internet? Yeah, okay. I'm on a wired connection. Yeah, okay. I'm on a wired connection. Yeah, okay. I'm on a wired connection. Good. Good. Good. Um Um Um So, So, So, I do have some bars here with some I do have some bars here with some I do have some bars here with some information in it, information in it, information in it, but I um but I um but I um I do not have a start menu that you I do not have a start menu that you I do not have a start menu that you might be used to, right? So, it's a very might be used to, right? So, it's a very might be used to, right? So, it's a very different experience. So, I'm going to different experience. So, I'm going to different experience. So, I'm going to go deeper into it, but maybe we can we go deeper into it, but maybe we can we go deeper into it, but maybe we can we will go into desktop environments first.
-
will go into desktop environments first. will go into desktop environments first. Uh but let's see if there are Uh but let's see if there are Uh but let's see if there are uh uh uh any questions about that first. any questions about that first. any questions about that first. Love to explore and study in advance. Love to explore and study in advance. Love to explore and study in advance. Uh yeah. Okay, cool. Okay, cool. Did you ever pursue the LF X Did you ever pursue the LF X Did you ever pursue the LF X certifications? certifications? certifications? Uh Uh Uh only the Kubernetes ones. I'm not sure only the Kubernetes ones. I'm not sure only the Kubernetes ones. I'm not sure if those are LF if those are LF if those are LF Yeah, I mean, those are Linux Yeah, I mean, those are Linux Yeah, I mean, those are Linux Foundation, but I have the CKA, CKS, Foundation, but I have the CKA, CKS, Foundation, but I have the CKA, CKS, CKAD. So, I'm a Kubernaut. I have all CKAD. So, I'm a Kubernaut. I have all CKAD. So, I'm a Kubernaut. I have all the the Kubernetes certifications. Uh it's a good question. Window manager Uh it's a good question. Window manager is not the same as Wayland compositors, is not the same as Wayland compositors, is not the same as Wayland compositors, right? Yes. It's not the same, and right? Yes. It's not the same, and right? Yes. It's not the same, and we can get into that uh as well. we can get into that uh as well. we can get into that uh as well. Wayland Wayland Wayland So, maybe the good So, maybe the good So, maybe the good Yeah, we'll see how deep we go into Yeah, we'll see how deep we go into Yeah, we'll see how deep we go into Wayland. And again, for those of you who Wayland. And again, for those of you who Wayland. And again, for those of you who have joined a bit later, have joined a bit later, have joined a bit later, I have a really bad cold. You can I have a really bad cold. You can I have a really bad cold. You can probably hear it.
-
probably hear it. probably hear it. And actually, as I'm talking, I feel my And actually, as I'm talking, I feel my And actually, as I'm talking, I feel my headache coming up and up. I'm I'm headache coming up and up. I'm I'm headache coming up and up. I'm I'm actually not feeling good at all, but actually not feeling good at all, but actually not feeling good at all, but I'm just trying to serve you guys for a I'm just trying to serve you guys for a I'm just trying to serve you guys for a while here. while here. while here. I'm not sure if I can go on very long I'm not sure if I can go on very long I'm not sure if I can go on very long today. today. today. So, maybe Wayland needs to be saved for So, maybe Wayland needs to be saved for So, maybe Wayland needs to be saved for a new another week. a new another week. a new another week. But, what we're going to do is um But, what we're going to do is um But, what we're going to do is um let's talk about desktop environments let's talk about desktop environments let's talk about desktop environments first, and then we'll do first, and then we'll do first, and then we'll do uh uh uh window managers. window managers. window managers. So, a desktop environment is something So, a desktop environment is something So, a desktop environment is something that you are used to when you when that you are used to when you when that you are used to when you when you're running Mac, right? Or Windows, you're running Mac, right? Or Windows, you're running Mac, right? Or Windows, for that matter. for that matter. for that matter. So, if you So, if you So, if you Let's do Windows 10. Let's do Windows 10. Let's do Windows 10. If you If you If you have Windows 10, is that Yeah, have Windows 10, is that Yeah, have Windows 10, is that Yeah, screenshot. This is a pretty bad screenshot, but I This is a pretty bad screenshot, but I think most of you people will know how think most of you people will know how think most of you people will know how what Windows looks like.
-
what Windows looks like. what Windows looks like. But, what you see is that you have a But, what you see is that you have a But, what you see is that you have a desktop here, and then you have a start desktop here, and then you have a start desktop here, and then you have a start button, and you have icons, and it is button, and you have icons, and it is button, and you have icons, and it is all integrated into one system, right? all integrated into one system, right? all integrated into one system, right? So, So, So, when you install Windows, you install when you install Windows, you install when you install Windows, you install essentially a desktop environment. essentially a desktop environment. essentially a desktop environment. Now, the cool thing with Linux is that Now, the cool thing with Linux is that Now, the cool thing with Linux is that Linux has tons of desktop environments Linux has tons of desktop environments Linux has tons of desktop environments as well. as well. as well. So, when you install Ubuntu desktop, So, when you install Ubuntu desktop, So, when you install Ubuntu desktop, and actually, let's just go to Ubuntu. and actually, let's just go to Ubuntu. and actually, let's just go to Ubuntu. It might be good to revisit that. So, if It might be good to revisit that. So, if It might be good to revisit that. So, if you if you want you if you want you if you want we um we um we um in the course we use Ubuntu, right? And in the course we use Ubuntu, right? And in the course we use Ubuntu, right? And we installed Ubuntu server. we installed Ubuntu server. we installed Ubuntu server. So, So, So, if I go to download Ubuntu, if I go to download Ubuntu, if I go to download Ubuntu, then you will see that I get several then you will see that I get several then you will see that I get several options here. There's Ubuntu desktop, options here. There's Ubuntu desktop, options here. There's Ubuntu desktop, Ubuntu server, Raspberry Pi, blah blah Ubuntu server, Raspberry Pi, blah blah Ubuntu server, Raspberry Pi, blah blah blah. blah. blah. But, But, But, um um um we installed Ubuntu server in the we installed Ubuntu server in the we installed Ubuntu server in the course. But, there's also Ubuntu course. But, there's also Ubuntu course.

Uh Uh Uh does it have any screenshots here? Well, let's just do an image, then.
-
Well, let's just do an image, then. Ubuntu desk Ubuntu desk Ubuntu desk top. top. top. Ubuntu desktop is Ubuntu desktop is Ubuntu desktop is when you install that, it will when you install that, it will when you install that, it will look and feel quite familiar in the look and feel quite familiar in the look and feel quite familiar in the sense that you have sense that you have sense that you have um um um a bar. So, in this case, the the taskbar a bar. So, in this case, the the taskbar a bar. So, in this case, the the taskbar is on the left side by default. is on the left side by default. is on the left side by default. Um but you can set it to the bottom and Um but you can set it to the bottom and Um but you can set it to the bottom and then you have some icons in there and then you have some icons in there and then you have some icons in there and you have some somewhat of a start menu, you have some somewhat of a start menu, you have some somewhat of a start menu, okay? okay? okay? You have a desktop, you have icons, you You have a desktop, you have icons, you You have a desktop, you have icons, you have like a file explorer. have like a file explorer. have like a file explorer. But most importantly, But most importantly, But most importantly, a desktop environment installs all of a desktop environment installs all of a desktop environment installs all of the the the important packages that you may need. important packages that you may need. important packages that you may need. And usually it will install a desktop And usually it will install a desktop And usually it will install a desktop envi it will install a suite of envi it will install a suite of envi it will install a suite of applications for you that you will may applications for you that you will may applications for you that you will may need in your daily computing needs. need in your daily computing needs. need in your daily computing needs. So this is much more accessible, right? So this is much more accessible, right? So this is much more accessible, right? This is This is This is um this is basically rebuilding the um this is basically rebuilding the um this is basically rebuilding the things like macOS or Windows things like macOS or Windows things like macOS or Windows for for for users who are used to using a computer users who are used to using a computer users who are used to using a computer uh from the graphical side of the OS.

uh from the graphical side of the OS. uh from the graphical side of the OS. So Ubuntu desktop uses something called So Ubuntu desktop uses something called So Ubuntu desktop uses something called Gnome. So Gnome, an independent computing So Gnome, an independent computing platform for everyone. So platform for everyone. So platform for everyone. So you can install you can install you can install Gnome Gnome Gnome on any other um on any other um on any other um desktop um desktop um desktop um Linux distribution. So when we were went Linux distribution. So when we were went Linux distribution. So when we were went into Linux distributions in an earlier into Linux distributions in an earlier into Linux distributions in an earlier live stream, live stream, live stream, we talked about what a distribution is. we talked about what a distribution is. we talked about what a distribution is. So very often what a distribution comes So very often what a distribution comes So very often what a distribution comes down to is that they take the Linux down to is that they take the Linux down to is that they take the Linux kernel kernel kernel pair that with a desktop environment pair that with a desktop environment pair that with a desktop environment and then add some applications to there and then add some applications to there and then add some applications to there so that you have a working system. so that you have a working system. so that you have a working system. So the Gnome desktop environment is the So the Gnome desktop environment is the So the Gnome desktop environment is the one that is included with Ubuntu. one that is included with Ubuntu. one that is included with Ubuntu. And I have used Gnome for years And I have used Gnome for years And I have used Gnome for years and it's it's really great. It the only and it's it's really great. It the only and it's it's really great. It the only reason why I um reason why I um reason why I um I don't I'm don't use it anymore is I don't I'm don't use it anymore is I don't I'm don't use it anymore is because there is less configurability because there is less configurability because there is less configurability um or you have to do all of these weird um or you have to do all of these weird um or you have to do all of these weird hacks with like no applications and G hacks with like no applications and G hacks with like no applications and G settings.
-
settings. settings. And it started to become hacky for what And it started to become hacky for what And it started to become hacky for what I wanted to do. But Gnome is a really I wanted to do. But Gnome is a really I wanted to do. But Gnome is a really good desktop environment. Um that a good good desktop environment. Um that a good good desktop environment. Um that a good one to start with. So So um um um let's see if there are any questions and let's see if there are any questions and let's see if there are any questions and then I will go with and share a few then I will go with and share a few then I will go with and share a few other environments. other environments. other environments. Uh Uh Uh let's see any of you running Arch let's see any of you running Arch let's see any of you running Arch servers? Nice. servers? Nice. servers? Nice. Fedora's great. Yeah, I'm running Fedora Fedora's great. Yeah, I'm running Fedora Fedora's great. Yeah, I'm running Fedora right now. right now. right now. Ubuntu is the devil of the Linux world. Ubuntu is the devil of the Linux world. Ubuntu is the devil of the Linux world. Okay, I Okay, I Okay, I strongly disagree. Why is that the case? strongly disagree. Why is that the case? strongly disagree. Why is that the case? It's really good for people to get It's really good for people to get It's really good for people to get started with Ubuntu. started with Ubuntu. started with Ubuntu. Um is this Framework? Yes, this I'm running is this Framework? Yes, this I'm running this on my Framework laptop. this on my Framework laptop. this on my Framework laptop. Um you can add tiling extensions to Um you can add tiling extensions to Um you can add tiling extensions to Gnome. Yeah, that's correct. You can do Gnome. Yeah, that's correct. You can do Gnome. Yeah, that's correct. You can do that. You can configure Gnome quite a that. You can configure Gnome quite a that. You can configure Gnome quite a lot. It's actually really good.
-
lot. It's actually really good. lot. It's actually really good. But I um But I um But I um yeah, there were a few things that I yeah, there were a few things that I yeah, there were a few things that I started to lack which I'll get into. So Gnome is a good one. So Gnome is a good one. And yeah, my first one was Fedora but no And yeah, my first one was Fedora but no And yeah, my first one was Fedora but no that did that is that did that is that did that is a Linux distribution. It's not a Linux distribution. It's not a Linux distribution. It's not necessarily the desktop environment. necessarily the desktop environment. necessarily the desktop environment. Like well, that's a good case in point. Like well, that's a good case in point. Like well, that's a good case in point. Like if you go to Fedora Like if you go to Fedora Like if you go to Fedora you will get the opportunity to get you will get the opportunity to get you will get the opportunity to get multiple desktop environments. Okay, so multiple desktop environments. Okay, so multiple desktop environments. Okay, so here's the Fedora Workstation. here's the Fedora Workstation. here's the Fedora Workstation. And then here it will say And then here it will say And then here it will say well, you can also get Fedora KDE Plasma well, you can also get Fedora KDE Plasma well, you can also get Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop. Desktop. Desktop. So Fedora Workstation featuring the So Fedora Workstation featuring the So Fedora Workstation featuring the Gnome desktop. Gnome desktop. Gnome desktop. KDE uh features the KDE Plasma desktop. KDE uh features the KDE Plasma desktop. KDE uh features the KDE Plasma desktop. So, KDE is its whole like an old So, KDE is its whole like an old So, KDE is its whole like an old ecosystem of all sorts of applications. ecosystem of all sorts of applications. ecosystem of all sorts of applications. And it is actually And it is actually And it is actually often people will say that this is a often people will say that this is a often people will say that this is a good step for Windows users.
-
good step for Windows users. good step for Windows users. And you can see why. It does the the bar And you can see why. It does the the bar And you can see why. It does the the bar in this bottom. And look, it has it even in this bottom. And look, it has it even in this bottom. And look, it has it even mimics the Windows mimics the Windows mimics the Windows 10 kind of clock in the side here. The 10 kind of clock in the side here. The 10 kind of clock in the side here. The start menu. So, this feels very familiar start menu. So, this feels very familiar start menu. So, this feels very familiar for people who come from um for people who come from um for people who come from um from Windows. from Windows. from Windows. KDE is often what recommended there. KDE is often what recommended there. KDE is often what recommended there. So, KDE is a good one to try. So, KDE is a good one to try. So, KDE is a good one to try. Uh Uh Uh If we go back to Fedora. If we go back to Fedora. If we go back to Fedora. Uh Uh Uh No. No. No. Okay, it was just those. Then there are Fedora spins. Then there are Fedora spins. And yeah, so you have XFCE, which is And yeah, so you have XFCE, which is And yeah, so you have XFCE, which is another uh environment. You have another uh environment. You have another uh environment. You have Cinnamon. Cinnamon. Cinnamon. You have all sorts of different desktop You have all sorts of different desktop You have all sorts of different desktop environments, right? environments, right? environments, right? So, the main ones I would say Gnome Gnome uh KDE uh KDE uh KDE familiar familiar familiar for Windows users.
-
for Windows users. for Windows users. And And And Yeah, and the final one I will mention Yeah, and the final one I will mention Yeah, and the final one I will mention is Cosmic. is Cosmic. is Cosmic. Cosmic DE Cosmic DE Cosmic DE I I I would say these are the the the I I I would say these are the the the I I I would say these are the the the the main players. the main players. the main players. Now, System76 is a company that creates Now, System76 is a company that creates Now, System76 is a company that creates Linux computers. Linux computers. Linux computers. And they started developing their own And they started developing their own And they started developing their own desktop environment because they weren't desktop environment because they weren't desktop environment because they weren't happy with Gnome. And they basically happy with Gnome. And they basically happy with Gnome. And they basically said, "Well, let's just create our own." said, "Well, let's just create our own." said, "Well, let's just create our own." And And And they it's written in Rust. It's It's they it's written in Rust. It's It's they it's written in Rust. It's It's actually really good. I've used this for actually really good. I've used this for actually really good. I've used this for over a year. over a year. over a year. It is still It is still It is still um, how do we call it? um, how do we call it? um, how do we call it? It It was in Yeah, it's still in No, is It It was in Yeah, it's still in No, is It It was in Yeah, it's still in No, is it in beta? it in beta? it in beta? It has been in alpha for a long time. I'm not sure if it's in beta now. I I'm not sure if it's in beta now. I actually don't know, but I've already actually don't know, but I've already actually don't know, but I've already used this for a year and it it works used this for a year and it it works used this for a year and it it works well. Like it it's a good There are a well. Like it it's a good There are a well. Like it it's a good There are a few quirks.
-
few quirks. few quirks. But I I highly recommend trying out But I I highly recommend trying out But I I highly recommend trying out Cosmic. Uh, it has been a good Cosmic. Uh, it has been a good Cosmic. Uh, it has been a good experience for me. So, Cosmic experience for me. So, Cosmic experience for me. So, Cosmic is the other one. So, those are the main desktop So, those are the main desktop environments I would try. And so, environments I would try. And so, environments I would try. And so, uh, Ubuntu uh, Ubuntu uh, Ubuntu desktop. So, next we can go into window managers So, next we can go into window managers to see if there is a couple of to see if there is a couple of to see if there is a couple of questions here. Budgie, Cinnamon. Yeah, there are so Budgie, Cinnamon. Yeah, there are so many different ones. There's endless um, many different ones. There's endless um, many different ones. There's endless um, endless um, endless um, endless um, variations. Okay, Cosmic is not good. There are so Okay, Cosmic is not good. There are so many bugs. Well, it's It's not that bad. many bugs. Well, it's It's not that bad. many bugs. Well, it's It's not that bad. Like, have you tried it? How How How Like, have you tried it? How How How Like, have you tried it? How How How long did you run it?
-
long did you run it? long did you run it? How long have you run um, How long have you run um, How long have you run um, Cosmic? Let's see. Let's see. Um, Um, Um, cool. cool. cool. So, then we can go into window managers. So, then we can go into window managers. So, then we can go into window managers. So, what you see me using here is a So, what you see me using here is a So, what you see me using here is a window manager. And the reason why it's window manager. And the reason why it's window manager. And the reason why it's called a window manager is called a window manager is called a window manager is fundamentally a window manager is just fundamentally a window manager is just fundamentally a window manager is just something that draws windows on screens, something that draws windows on screens, something that draws windows on screens, right? So, if I open my right? So, if I open my right? So, if I open my Alacritty here, Alacritty here, Alacritty here, if I if I if I uh uh uh here. here. here. So, if I open up a new window like So, if I open up a new window like So, if I open up a new window like Thunar, for example, it just opens a new Thunar, for example, it just opens a new Thunar, for example, it just opens a new window. Like there's no concept of window. Like there's no concept of window. Like there's no concept of um um um I mean, I would say this is the same in I mean, I would say this is the same in I mean, I would say this is the same in in desktop environments, in desktop environments, in desktop environments, but like usually you have a taskbar and but like usually you have a taskbar and but like usually you have a taskbar and then there's the icons in the bottom and then there's the icons in the bottom and then there's the icons in the bottom and that's it. that's it. that's it. But here I have windows and I have But here I have windows and I have But here I have windows and I have workspaces. So, if you see in the bottom workspaces. So, if you see in the bottom workspaces. So, if you see in the bottom here, here, here, you will see that I'm now at one, then you will see that I'm now at one, then you will see that I'm now at one, then there's two, and then there's three there's two, and then there's three there's two, and then there's three in the bottom left.
-
in the bottom left. in the bottom left. There's workspaces, There's workspaces, There's workspaces, and a workspace is simply a collection and a workspace is simply a collection and a workspace is simply a collection of windows here in the bottom. of windows here in the bottom. of windows here in the bottom. So, this way you can you can gather So, this way you can you can gather So, this way you can you can gather certain applications or workflows inside certain applications or workflows inside certain applications or workflows inside of one space, which is what I really of one space, which is what I really of one space, which is what I really like to do. like to do. like to do. So, a window manager is nice because you So, a window manager is nice because you So, a window manager is nice because you can control it with the keyboard, okay? can control it with the keyboard, okay? can control it with the keyboard, okay? So, I'm very I have a keyboard-centered So, I'm very I have a keyboard-centered So, I'm very I have a keyboard-centered workflow, workflow, workflow, and if I now want to go to a new and if I now want to go to a new and if I now want to go to a new workspace, I just do super seven, workspace, I just do super seven, workspace, I just do super seven, I press command D Thunar, and now I have I press command D Thunar, and now I have I press command D Thunar, and now I have my file manager open, okay? I can now my file manager open, okay? I can now my file manager open, okay? I can now interact with the file manager if I interact with the file manager if I interact with the file manager if I want. want. want. Or if I want to open a different Or if I want to open a different Or if I want to open a different application, I just press command D and application, I just press command D and application, I just press command D and then uh whatever I want to start, I can then uh whatever I want to start, I can then uh whatever I want to start, I can start it from this menu, I can search, start it from this menu, I can search, start it from this menu, I can search, and I can just do all of that from the and I can just do all of that from the and I can just do all of that from the from the command line.
-
from the command line. from the command line. Now, what I really like about this is I Now, what I really like about this is I Now, what I really like about this is I have a certain have a certain have a certain um um um order of my workspaces. So, no number order of my workspaces. So, no number order of my workspaces. So, no number one is always my browser. one is always my browser. one is always my browser. If I press If I press If I press super two, I switch to two. This is super two, I switch to two. This is super two, I switch to two. This is always Obsidian. always Obsidian. always Obsidian. And super three is my terminal, okay? And super three is my terminal, okay? And super three is my terminal, okay? Now, in this case, I have my streaming Now, in this case, I have my streaming Now, in this case, I have my streaming set up at four. set up at four. set up at four. And then And then And then uh you are I can switch between them uh you are I can switch between them uh you are I can switch between them like this, okay? like this, okay? like this, okay? So, this So, this So, this means that when I start my computer means that when I start my computer means that when I start my computer all of my applications are exactly where all of my applications are exactly where all of my applications are exactly where I want them to be. I want them to be. I want them to be. So, if I'm working in the command line So, if I'm working in the command line So, if I'm working in the command line and I want to quickly go to the browser, and I want to quickly go to the browser, and I want to quickly go to the browser, I can just with with just two fingers, I I can just with with just two fingers, I I can just with with just two fingers, I just just just instantly I'm in the browser, right? So, instantly I'm in the browser, right? So, instantly I'm in the browser, right? So, I'm working, I'm in the browser, and I I'm working, I'm in the browser, and I I'm working, I'm in the browser, and I go back. Browser, go back. So, I I know go back. Browser, go back. So, I I know go back. Browser, go back. So, I I know exactly where I can go. There's no alt exactly where I can go. There's no alt exactly where I can go. There's no alt tabbing. tabbing. tabbing. The I don't lose a millisecond in The I don't lose a millisecond in The I don't lose a millisecond in switching between things.

switching between things. switching between things. And this is why I prefer to use window And this is why I prefer to use window And this is why I prefer to use window manager so much manager so much manager so much because all of this is also because all of this is also because all of this is also programmable. So, if I go to my config programmable. So, if I go to my config programmable. So, if I go to my config directory and sway, so the we'll get into the the and sway, so the we'll get into the the window managers, but if I open up my window managers, but if I open up my window managers, but if I open up my config here config here config here you see that it has it's literally just you see that it has it's literally just you see that it has it's literally just code code code that tells me that I can configure. So, that tells me that I can configure. So, that tells me that I can configure. So, I can actually I can actually I can actually write in code what I want. So, write in code what I want. So, write in code what I want. So, when I take when I take when I take when I install a new Linux machine, I when I install a new Linux machine, I when I install a new Linux machine, I can take this code can take this code can take this code and my environment is going to be and my environment is going to be and my environment is going to be exactly the same as it is in this one exactly the same as it is in this one exactly the same as it is in this one because it's all specified in code. It because it's all specified in code. It because it's all specified in code. It has all of my key bindings. It has all has all of my key bindings. It has all has all of my key bindings. It has all of my custom applications that are run. of my custom applications that are run. of my custom applications that are run. I have things to transcribe my speech, I have things to transcribe my speech, I have things to transcribe my speech, all that kind of stuff. All handled all that kind of stuff. All handled all that kind of stuff. All handled through my window manager. And it's through my window manager. And it's through my window manager. And it's exactly the same on my laptop, on my exactly the same on my laptop, on my exactly the same on my laptop, on my desktop, or wherever I find myself desktop, or wherever I find myself desktop, or wherever I find myself working.

working. working. So, this is why I prefer a window So, this is why I prefer a window So, this is why I prefer a window manager because I can configure it from manager because I can configure it from manager because I can configure it from code. And yeah, there are some ways of code. And yeah, there are some ways of code. And yeah, there are some ways of storing settings and make it portable. storing settings and make it portable. storing settings and make it portable. But, in my experience, if you want a But, in my experience, if you want a But, in my experience, if you want a portable setup that you can configure portable setup that you can configure portable setup that you can configure from code, then window managers are the from code, then window managers are the from code, then window managers are the way to go. Okay? way to go. Okay? way to go. Okay? So, uh So, uh So, uh workspaces workspaces workspaces have windows have windows have windows I I I collecting collecting collecting windows for uh windows for uh windows for uh efficient workflows. efficient workflows. efficient workflows. Uh easily Uh easily Uh easily switching switching switching between workspaces with super 1 2 3. between workspaces with super 1 2 3. between workspaces with super 1 2 3. Um Um Um there is the ability to control there is the ability to control there is the ability to control everything with the key- keyboard. So, everything with the key- keyboard. So, everything with the key- keyboard. So, if I want to move this to workspace if I want to move this to workspace if I want to move this to workspace number four, number four, number four, then I press command super shift four. then I press command super shift four. then I press command super shift four. And now I'm in four, and now my Obsidian And now I'm in four, and now my Obsidian And now I'm in four, and now my Obsidian is in four, right? So, I can move things is in four, right? So, I can move things is in four, right? So, I can move things around as well. So, going back around as well. So, going back around as well. So, going back here. So, there is the here. So, there is the here. So, there is the uh uh uh I can move things around and control I can move things around and control I can move things around and control things with my keyboard.

things with my keyboard. things with my keyboard. Um finally, there is the portability. Um finally, there is the portability. Um finally, there is the portability. I can configure I can configure I can configure my window manager from code, my window manager from code, my window manager from code, which means that everything which means that everything which means that everything will be across across all of my machines. all of my machines. all of my machines. And also, there was the yeah, ability yeah, ability to to to uh assign windows to workspaces on uh assign windows to workspaces on uh assign windows to workspaces on startup. startup. startup. So, my I can So, my I can So, my I can productive productive productive in instantly. in instantly. in instantly. So, if you if you value So, if you if you value So, if you if you value your if you your if you your if you want to want to build an optimal workflow, a want to build an optimal workflow, a window manager window manager window manager is what where you want to go. It's what is what where you want to go. It's what is what where you want to go. It's what you need.

you need. you need. In my opinion, that is the the most In my opinion, that is the the most In my opinion, that is the the most optimal optimal optimal uh In my opinion and in my experience. In my opinion and in my experience. Window managers. Okay. Okay. So, that's window managers. And the So, that's window managers. And the So, that's window managers. And the window manager that I'm using is Sway. window manager that I'm using is Sway. window manager that I'm using is Sway. Sway. Sway window manager. Sway window manager. So, before I go into that, uh we have to So, before I go into that, uh we have to So, before I go into that, uh we have to talk about Wayland as well. talk about Wayland as well. talk about Wayland as well. So, So, So, we will um we will um we will um uh go into that. Just see if there are uh go into that. Just see if there are uh go into that. Just see if there are any questions.

that I'm using. that I'm using. So, my journey in window managers, So, my journey in window managers, So, my journey in window managers, um um um I actually started out with Awesome I actually started out with Awesome I actually started out with Awesome window manager. Maybe some of you have window manager. Maybe some of you have window manager. Maybe some of you have seen that video on my YouTube channel. seen that video on my YouTube channel. seen that video on my YouTube channel. If you have seen this video on my If you have seen this video on my If you have seen this video on my YouTube channel, then you are a YouTube channel, then you are a YouTube channel, then you are a um OG um OG um OG of my YouTube channel. of my YouTube channel. of my YouTube channel. If you seen the video of me configuring If you seen the video of me configuring If you seen the video of me configuring Awesome window manager, then you're an Awesome window manager, then you're an Awesome window manager, then you're an OG. OG. OG. But, I I don't know how I started with But, I I don't know how I started with But, I I don't know how I started with this, but this is this, but this is this, but this is Ooh. This must be 5 years ago. Like, this was This must be 5 years ago. Like, this was during my first DevOps job. That's when during my first DevOps job. That's when during my first DevOps job. That's when I started with I was using Linux and I started with I was using Linux and I started with I was using Linux and Gnome, Gnome, Gnome, Ubuntu and Gnome, and then I moved Ubuntu and Gnome, and then I moved Ubuntu and Gnome, and then I moved towards window managers. And for some towards window managers. And for some towards window managers. And for some reason, I went with Awesome window reason, I went with Awesome window reason, I went with Awesome window manager, manager, manager, which is which is which is Yeah. Uh I don't know how I got there, Yeah. Uh I don't know how I got there, Yeah. Uh I don't know how I got there, but I should have just gone with i3. but I should have just gone with i3. but I should have just gone with i3. So, this is the one that I started with.

So, this is the one that I started with. So, this is the one that I started with. But, But, But, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I kind of have to explain X and and I I kind of have to explain X and and I I kind of have to explain X and and Wayland. So, here you will see that Wayland. So, here you will see that Wayland. So, here you will see that Awesome says it's a window manager for Awesome says it's a window manager for Awesome says it's a window manager for X. X. X. And here, And here, And here, it says Sway is a tiling Wayland it says Sway is a tiling Wayland it says Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for compositor and a drop-in replacement for compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. the i3 window manager for X11. the i3 window manager for X11. So, here you see this X again. Right. So, here you see this X again. Right. So, here you see this X again. Right. Okay, so let's get into Okay, so let's get into Okay, so let's get into uh I I won't go too deep into it. uh I I won't go too deep into it. uh I I won't go too deep into it. Actually, I'm starting to reach the end Actually, I'm starting to reach the end Actually, I'm starting to reach the end of my of my of my capabilities today because I'm feeling capabilities today because I'm feeling capabilities today because I'm feeling sick. I'm not right. Uh I have a really sick. I'm not right. Uh I have a really sick. I'm not right. Uh I have a really bad cold. bad cold. bad cold. But, basically, very short, uh Wayland But, basically, very short, uh Wayland But, basically, very short, uh Wayland can be the topic of the next stream. can be the topic of the next stream. can be the topic of the next stream. But, very short, there used to be X11 or But, very short, there used to be X11 or But, very short, there used to be X11 or X.org. X.org. X.org. Uh we're going to get in all of those Uh we're going to get in all of those Uh we're going to get in all of those terms uh next week. terms uh next week. terms uh next week. But basically But basically But basically like in order for like in order for like in order for to draw things on your screen, you need to draw things on your screen, you need to draw things on your screen, you need a certain protocol, right? You need a certain protocol, right? You need a certain protocol, right? You need um um um yeah, you need a protocol. And for the yeah, you need a protocol. And for the yeah, you need a protocol. And for the longest time, what we used on Linux was longest time, what we used on Linux was longest time, what we used on Linux was X11. That was the protocol.
-
X11. That was the protocol. X11. That was the protocol. Now, a new protocol was developed, which Now, a new protocol was developed, which Now, a new protocol was developed, which is called Wayland. is called Wayland. is called Wayland. Because X11 is fundamentally insecure, Because X11 is fundamentally insecure, Because X11 is fundamentally insecure, there are all sorts of problems with it. there are all sorts of problems with it. there are all sorts of problems with it. It's old and it hasn't it wasn't It's old and it hasn't it wasn't It's old and it hasn't it wasn't maintained anymore. So, the maintained anymore. So, the maintained anymore. So, the Wayland was developed. And so, there's Wayland was developed. And so, there's Wayland was developed. And so, there's basically two desktop basically two desktop basically two desktop uh no, two window protocols. Like I'm uh no, two window protocols. Like I'm uh no, two window protocols. Like I'm too tired for this today. too tired for this today. too tired for this today. Uh there's two protocols and it's X11, Uh there's two protocols and it's X11, Uh there's two protocols and it's X11, which is old, you should not use it, and which is old, you should not use it, and which is old, you should not use it, and then there's Wayland, which is the then there's Wayland, which is the then there's Wayland, which is the modern thing to do. modern thing to do. modern thing to do. And Wayland is what you want. And Wayland is what you want. And Wayland is what you want. And And And up like up until like what is it? 2 up like up until like what is it? 2 up like up until like what is it? 2 years ago? years ago? years ago? I think I think I think uh uh uh since when since when since when does Ubuntu have Wayland by default? I does Ubuntu have Wayland by default? I does Ubuntu have Wayland by default? I think it was uh uh yeah. yeah. yeah. 2021 actually.
-
Oh, yeah, okay. It the X11 was removed Oh, yeah, okay. It the X11 was removed recently. That was it. Okay. recently. That was it. Okay. recently. That was it. Okay. So, So, So, here. here. here. This is what I was thinking about. So, This is what I was thinking about. So, This is what I was thinking about. So, yeah, last year yeah, last year yeah, last year um Ubuntu is actually ditching Xorg. um Ubuntu is actually ditching Xorg. um Ubuntu is actually ditching Xorg. But Wayland yeah, Wayland is the But Wayland yeah, Wayland is the But Wayland yeah, Wayland is the standard and standard and standard and uh you should not use X11 anymore, uh you should not use X11 anymore, uh you should not use X11 anymore, period. That's the short answer. period. That's the short answer. period. That's the short answer. So, on X11, now that we know that we So, on X11, now that we know that we So, on X11, now that we know that we have the two protocols, I used to use have the two protocols, I used to use have the two protocols, I used to use the Awesome window manager, the Awesome window manager, the Awesome window manager, but there's also the i3 window manager. i3 i3 improved and you see again improved and you see again improved and you see again uh uh uh it said it said it said Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. It doesn't say it here. Here in the search, it says improved Here in the search, it says improved tiling X11 window manager. tiling X11 window manager. tiling X11 window manager. So, this is the old version. The i3 is a So, this is the old version. The i3 is a So, this is the old version. The i3 is a window manager for X11. window manager for X11. window manager for X11. And Sway is basically And Sway is basically And Sway is basically a tiling window manager, a compos- a tiling window manager, a compos- a tiling window manager, a compos- Wayland compositor Wayland compositor Wayland compositor that is a replacement for i3 on Wayland, that is a replacement for i3 on Wayland, that is a replacement for i3 on Wayland, okay? And this is what I use.

okay? And this is what I use. okay? And this is what I use. Now, one final one that we'll mention Now, one final one that we'll mention Now, one final one that we'll mention and then we're going to wrap it up is and then we're going to wrap it up is and then we're going to wrap it up is Hyperland. Hyperland. Hyperland. Something what what the other guys were Something what what the other guys were Something what what the other guys were asking about. asking about. asking about. And this is also a Wayland compositor. And this is also a Wayland compositor. And this is also a Wayland compositor. Okay? So, we have There are some terms Okay? So, we have There are some terms Okay? So, we have There are some terms here. here. here. So, what is Wayland? So, what is Wayland? So, what is Wayland? What is a compositor? What is a compositor? What is a compositor? What is Yeah. That's maybe a good question to Yeah. That's maybe a good question to answer next week. answer next week. answer next week. But this is just This is Wayland and But this is just This is Wayland and But this is just This is Wayland and basically it is basically it is basically it is very similar to Sway, very similar to Sway, very similar to Sway, but it is kind of but it is kind of but it is kind of How do you say it? How do you say it? How do you say it? It prides itself in this making things It prides itself in this making things It prides itself in this making things beautiful, right? beautiful, right? beautiful, right? And And And people go crazy with this. They people go crazy with this. They people go crazy with this. They This is a a phenomenon called rising. This is a a phenomenon called rising. This is a a phenomenon called rising. So, people will spend So, people will spend So, people will spend months on creating these beautiful months on creating these beautiful months on creating these beautiful environments and I did the same. Make it environments and I did the same. Make it environments and I did the same. Make it as beautiful as possible.

as beautiful as possible. as beautiful as possible. I've also spent many weekends trying to I've also spent many weekends trying to I've also spent many weekends trying to get the perfect environment, get the perfect environment, get the perfect environment, but I can tell you now as a senior that but I can tell you now as a senior that but I can tell you now as a senior that it's a waste of time. Like if you're it's a waste of time. Like if you're it's a waste of time. Like if you're doing this, you're wasting your time. doing this, you're wasting your time. doing this, you're wasting your time. Sure, it's a nice creative hobby, but I Sure, it's a nice creative hobby, but I Sure, it's a nice creative hobby, but I actually thought while doing this that actually thought while doing this that actually thought while doing this that it would it it would make me better at it would it it would make me better at it would it it would make me better at Linux. It doesn't. So if if your goal is Linux. It doesn't. So if if your goal is Linux. It doesn't. So if if your goal is to become a six-figure engineer, if you to become a six-figure engineer, if you to become a six-figure engineer, if you want actually want to learn Linux, want actually want to learn Linux, want actually want to learn Linux, then using stuff like this is not then using stuff like this is not then using stuff like this is not it won't benefit your career at all. it won't benefit your career at all. it won't benefit your career at all. So I did I I used Hyprland for well over So I did I I used Hyprland for well over So I did I I used Hyprland for well over a year a year a year because of yeah, it was hyped. People because of yeah, it was hyped. People because of yeah, it was hyped. People talked about it. And I wanted to try it out. And I wanted to try it out. So I I used it for about a year, but So I I used it for about a year, but So I I used it for about a year, but what I found was like when you install what I found was like when you install what I found was like when you install it by default, it looks like something it by default, it looks like something it by default, it looks like something like this. It looks very beautiful. like this. It looks very beautiful. like this. It looks very beautiful. But I found myself instantly disabling But I found myself instantly disabling But I found myself instantly disabling all of these animations, making things all of these animations, making things all of these animations, making things everything had to be as simple as everything had to be as simple as everything had to be as simple as possible.

possible. possible. And that is what I am focusing on. I And that is what I am focusing on. I And that is what I am focusing on. I want things to be as simple and want things to be as simple and want things to be as simple and productive as possible. No animations, productive as possible. No animations, productive as possible. No animations, nothing. nothing. nothing. And this is why I And this is why I And this is why I I I was basically disabling everything I I was basically disabling everything I I was basically disabling everything in Hyprland, and I figured, well, in Hyprland, and I figured, well, in Hyprland, and I figured, well, why not just use Sway then? Because Sway why not just use Sway then? Because Sway why not just use Sway then? Because Sway is is is is is is it is much simpler. It is very It it is much simpler. It is very It it is much simpler. It is very It doesn't have all of these bells and doesn't have all of these bells and doesn't have all of these bells and whistles. It just works. whistles. It just works. whistles. It just works. And um And um And um uh a few arguments for using Sway above uh a few arguments for using Sway above uh a few arguments for using Sway above Hyprland Hyprland Hyprland is Sway has a larger community, so source Sway has a larger community, so source code. code. code. This has 16,000 stars. It is This has 16,000 stars. It is This has 16,000 stars. It is uh a lot older. So this is already 7 uh a lot older. So this is already 7 uh a lot older. So this is already 7 years old. years old. years old. 10 years old actually. 10 years old actually. 10 years old actually. Wow, I didn't know it was that old. So, Wow, I didn't know it was that old. So, Wow, I didn't know it was that old. So, Sway is 10 years old. Sway is 10 years old. Sway is 10 years old. Hyperland is let's check it out.
-
It does have more stars interestingly. It does have more stars interestingly. So, maybe So, maybe So, maybe in fact there is a larger community in fact there is a larger community in fact there is a larger community around around around Hyperland now. Hyperland now. Hyperland now. But, how old is Hyperland? But, how old is Hyperland? But, how old is Hyperland? Man, he's he's been Man, he's he's been Man, he's he's been 4 years ago. It's Yeah, it's probably 4 years ago. It's Yeah, it's probably 4 years ago. It's Yeah, it's probably about 4 years. Something like that. So, about 4 years. Something like that. So, about 4 years. Something like that. So, it's it's it's younger, but it's also it's it's it's younger, but it's also it's it's it's younger, but it's also it's just it's one guy that's doing it. it's just it's one guy that's doing it. it's just it's one guy that's doing it. Okay, so Okay, so Okay, so and and and I don't get me wrong. I I chatted with I don't get me wrong. I I chatted with I don't get me wrong. I I chatted with him on X. He's a nice guy, him on X. He's a nice guy, him on X. He's a nice guy, but it was written by one guy all alone but it was written by one guy all alone but it was written by one guy all alone in the beginning.

It's very much a one-man show. It's very much a one-man show. It's very much a one-man show. And And And Sway has a larger community. So, that is Sway has a larger community. So, that is Sway has a larger community. So, that is why I I prefer it. why I I prefer it. why I I prefer it. It's also more established and yeah, It's also more established and yeah, It's also more established and yeah, that and it's simpler. So, that's why I that and it's simpler.

And this is why I uh I I try to save you And this is why I uh I I try to save you And this is why I uh I I try to save you some time. some time. some time. Have you heard about ArchCraft?

Linux. Linux. Uses i3wm. Uses i3wm. Uses i3wm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, again So, again So, again I don't understand why I would use this. I don't understand why I would use this. I don't understand why I would use this. Just install Arch Linux with Sway and Just install Arch Linux with Sway and Just install Arch Linux with Sway and then you then you know what how then you then you know what how then you then you know what how everything works, right? everything works, right? everything works, right? I wouldn't I wouldn't do something like I wouldn't I wouldn't do something like I wouldn't I wouldn't do something like this personally. this personally. this personally. Uh we'll get into that the next time. Arch Marchi too much bloat. Yeah, Arch Marchi too much bloat. Yeah, exactly. That's my point. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah, and again Arch Yeah, and again Arch Yeah, and again Arch The reason why I don't use ArchCraft is The reason why I don't use ArchCraft is The reason why I don't use ArchCraft is because I am a DevOps engineer, right? because I am a DevOps engineer, right? because I am a DevOps engineer, right? So, So, So, everything I do, I do that because I everything I do, I do that because I everything I do, I do that because I want to become a better engineer. want to become a better engineer. want to become a better engineer. So, that's why the free Linux course. So, that's why the free Linux course. So, that's why the free Linux course. So, everyone here, if everyone who So, everyone here, if everyone who So, everyone here, if everyone who wasn't here in the beginning, wasn't here in the beginning, wasn't here in the beginning, I I will share the free Linux course.
-
I I will share the free Linux course. I I will share the free Linux course. Um this is a free 8-hour course. Um this is a free 8-hour course. Um this is a free 8-hour course. This is what you um This is what you um This is what you um uh you can get this completely for free. uh you can get this completely for free. uh you can get this completely for free. And in this course, I teach you Linux And in this course, I teach you Linux And in this course, I teach you Linux from the command line, right? Uh it's 8 from the command line, right? Uh it's 8 from the command line, right? Uh it's 8 hours long. It's exactly what I teach to hours long. It's exactly what I teach to hours long. It's exactly what I teach to DevOps engineers as well. And I we do DevOps engineers as well. And I we do DevOps engineers as well. And I we do use the command line because it makes us use the command line because it makes us use the command line because it makes us a better engineer, right? So, a better engineer, right? So, a better engineer, right? So, likewise in Kubegraft, so Kubegraft is likewise in Kubegraft, so Kubegraft is likewise in Kubegraft, so Kubegraft is the place where I teach people to become the place where I teach people to become the place where I teach people to become six-figure DevOps engineers. This is six-figure DevOps engineers. This is six-figure DevOps engineers. This is what I do. I'm a I'm a what I do. I'm a I'm a what I do. I'm a I'm a the a tech career coach, and I help the a tech career coach, and I help the a tech career coach, and I help people land DevOps jobs. Here's Pedro. I people land DevOps jobs. Here's Pedro. I people land DevOps jobs. Here's Pedro. I I He was a restaurant manager, and he I He was a restaurant manager, and he I He was a restaurant manager, and he managed to land a DevOps job in in the managed to land a DevOps job in in the managed to land a DevOps job in in the West Coast of America. It's super. Um West Coast of America. It's super. Um West Coast of America. It's super. Um but he but in Kubegraft, I teach Linux but he but in Kubegraft, I teach Linux but he but in Kubegraft, I teach Linux the same way like we don't I'm not the same way like we don't I'm not the same way like we don't I'm not teaching you how to rice your your teaching you how to rice your your teaching you how to rice your your Linux, I'm teaching you how to build a Linux, I'm teaching you how to build a Linux, I'm teaching you how to build a system from scratch. So, using something system from scratch. So, using something system from scratch. So, using something like Archcraft or Omachi is going to rob like Archcraft or Omachi is going to rob like Archcraft or Omachi is going to rob you of so much learning, right? So, in you of so much learning, right? So, in you of so much learning, right? So, in here, like this course is like 20 hours here, like this course is like 20 hours here, like this course is like 20 hours long where I teach you all of the moving long where I teach you all of the moving long where I teach you all of the moving parts of Linux. You install it from parts of Linux. You install it from parts of Linux. You install it from scratch. And and you'll actually learn scratch. And and you'll actually learn scratch. And and you'll actually learn how a Linux system works. If you take how a Linux system works. If you take how a Linux system works. If you take something like Archcraft or Omachi, something like Archcraft or Omachi, something like Archcraft or Omachi, you're not going to learn that, okay?
-
you're not going to learn that, okay? you're not going to learn that, okay? So, this is why I uh So, this is why I uh So, this is why I uh I strongly recommend not using something I strongly recommend not using something I strongly recommend not using something like that. Like you start out with like that. Like you start out with like that. Like you start out with Ubuntu or a simple Linux distribution, Ubuntu or a simple Linux distribution, Ubuntu or a simple Linux distribution, and you you start with something simple, and you you start with something simple, and you you start with something simple, and then when you get more experience, and then when you get more experience, and then when you get more experience, then you can move on to build something then you can move on to build something then you can move on to build something uh yourself. You can You can go and use, uh yourself. You can You can go and use, uh yourself. You can You can go and use, for example, for example, for example, uh you could even go Gen 2 if you wanted uh you could even go Gen 2 if you wanted uh you could even go Gen 2 if you wanted to. I've not done that, but I think a to. I've not done that, but I think a to. I've not done that, but I think a really good way of learning Linux on a really good way of learning Linux on a really good way of learning Linux on a deep level is taking Arch Linux and and deep level is taking Arch Linux and and deep level is taking Arch Linux and and doing that from scratch, installing your doing that from scratch, installing your doing that from scratch, installing your own window manager, installing own window manager, installing own window manager, installing everything from scratch yourself. Make everything from scratch yourself. Make everything from scratch yourself. Make sure that you encrypt your system. That sure that you encrypt your system. That sure that you encrypt your system. That is um is um is um That is how you actually learn Linux. That is how you actually learn Linux. That is how you actually learn Linux. And so, avoid these things like Omarshy And so, avoid these things like Omarshy And so, avoid these things like Omarshy and Arch Craft and all that stuff, okay? and Arch Craft and all that stuff, okay? and Arch Craft and all that stuff, okay? And if you want to learn that from me, And if you want to learn that from me, And if you want to learn that from me, if you want to land a six-figure DevOps if you want to land a six-figure DevOps if you want to land a six-figure DevOps job, Kubecraft is there for you.

job, Kubecraft is there for you. job, Kubecraft is there for you. Are there labs on it? Yes, it's all very Are there labs on it? Yes, it's all very Are there labs on it? Yes, it's all very practical and it's all um uh uh it's all it's all it's all hands-on based because you don't land hands-on based because you don't land hands-on based because you don't land jobs with jobs with jobs with with with watching video courses. You with with watching video courses. You with with watching video courses. You land jobs by learning skills, and the land jobs by learning skills, and the land jobs by learning skills, and the only way to learn skills is to do it only way to learn skills is to do it only way to learn skills is to do it to build stuff on the command line to build stuff on the command line to build stuff on the command line yourself, right? So, we teach people to yourself, right? So, we teach people to yourself, right? So, we teach people to build like full end-to-end Kubernetes build like full end-to-end Kubernetes build like full end-to-end Kubernetes environments in the cloud with full environments in the cloud with full environments in the cloud with full CI/CD pipelines. Like, everything is CI/CD pipelines. Like, everything is CI/CD pipelines. Like, everything is here. I'm going to teach you Kubernetes, here. I'm going to teach you Kubernetes, here. I'm going to teach you Kubernetes, containers. Uh I teach you everything containers. Uh I teach you everything containers. Uh I teach you everything there. there. there. So, it's about 70 hours of technical So, it's about 70 hours of technical So, it's about 70 hours of technical training. We We build a home lab training. We We build a home lab training. We We build a home lab together. I teach you everything cuz together. I teach you everything cuz together. I teach you everything cuz that is how you learn, by building that is how you learn, by building that is how you learn, by building things, building projects, right? That things, building projects, right? That things, building projects, right? That is how it works. is how it works. is how it works. All right, guys. Well, All right, guys. Well, All right, guys. Well, thank you so much for the thank you so much for the thank you so much for the um um um Kubecraft is not free. The free The Kubecraft is not free. The free The Kubecraft is not free.
