TV better on screen this is tech hut. TV better on screen this is tech hut. TV you can see it looks good renders pretty you can see it looks good renders pretty you can see it looks good renders pretty quick this is basically a Firefox skin quick this is basically a Firefox skin quick this is basically a Firefox skin per se or a Firefox wrapper this is per se or a Firefox wrapper this is per se or a Firefox wrapper this is Firefox running and if you dive into the Firefox running and if you dive into the Firefox running and if you dive into the settings you'll notice um that it in settings you'll notice um that it in settings you'll notice um that it in fact is but they do add some uh extra fact is but they do add some uh extra fact is but they do add some uh extra things one is if I go under look and things one is if I go under look and things one is if I go under look and feel here you do have some options for feel here you do have some options for feel here you do have some options for this uh side toolbar so I'm currently this uh side toolbar so I'm currently this uh side toolbar so I'm currently using it with multiple I like to have
-
using it with multiple I like to have using it with multiple I like to have access to all the buttons and everything access to all the buttons and everything access to all the buttons and everything but I can collaps it all if I go into a but I can collaps it all if I go into a but I can collaps it all if I go into a compact mode I could completely hide all compact mode I could completely hide all compact mode I could completely hide all the toolbars for example right here if I the toolbars for example right here if I the toolbars for example right here if I go compact mode and enable it it will go compact mode and enable it it will go compact mode and enable it it will get rid of that so then I just hover get rid of that so then I just hover get rid of that so then I just hover over and it will come out and then I over and it will come out and then I over and it will come out and then I could also do the same thing if I do could also do the same thing if I do could also do the same thing if I do hide both now I just have this floating hide both now I just have this floating hide both now I just have this floating window of whatever website I happen to window of whatever website I happen to window of whatever website I happen to be on Hover on over here I could switch be on Hover on over here I could switch be on Hover on over here I could switch and this is a pretty decent web browsing and this is a pretty decent web browsing and this is a pretty decent web browsing experience here additionally if I undo experience here additionally if I undo experience here additionally if I undo this so compact mode Let's disable it this so compact mode Let's disable it this so compact mode Let's disable it real quick what extensions am I running real quick what extensions am I running real quick what extensions am I running I only got three at the moment we have I only got three at the moment we have I only got three at the moment we have the bit W and password manager I have a the bit W and password manager I have a the bit W and password manager I have a self-hosted instance of Vault Warden self-hosted instance of Vault Warden self-hosted instance of Vault Warden which is very nice for managing which is very nice for managing which is very nice for managing passwords and all that and then some passwords and all that and then some passwords and all that and then some YouTube stuff YouTube screenshot I use YouTube stuff YouTube screenshot I use YouTube stuff YouTube screenshot I use this quite a bit for some of my own this quite a bit for some of my own this quite a bit for some of my own guides over here on Tech Hut for example guides over here on Tech Hut for example guides over here on Tech Hut for example and then we have the return YouTube and then we have the return YouTube and then we have the return YouTube dislike something I'd recommend dislike something I'd recommend dislike something I'd recommend everybody do and I've just skimmed this everybody do and I've just skimmed this everybody do and I've just skimmed this browser there's a ton more features you browser there's a ton more features you browser there's a ton more features you could have workspaces I haven't really could have workspaces I haven't really could have workspaces I haven't really been using that yet I'm not utilizing been using that yet I'm not utilizing been using that yet I'm not utilizing this or really anything to its full this or really anything to its full this or really anything to its full potential I just kind of use a couple potential I just kind of use a couple potential I just kind of use a couple features and everything but there is a features and everything but there is a features and everything but there is a lot of potential here and with that I'm lot of potential here and with that I'm lot of potential here and with that I'm going to go over to something with a going to go over to something with a going to go over to something with a very similar icon and name so that was very similar icon and name so that was very similar icon and name so that was the Zen browser we're going to go over the Zen browser we're going to go over the Zen browser we're going to go over here to zed very similar to vs code with here to zed very similar to vs code with here to zed very similar to vs code with uh less features it has like um GPU uh less features it has like um GPU uh less features it has like um GPU rendering which I type at like 30 words

rendering which I type at like 30 words rendering which I type at like 30 words a minute I'm never going to notice that a minute I'm never going to notice that a minute I'm never going to notice that but you might the primary thing that but you might the primary thing that but you might the primary thing that I've been using this for and it has been I've been using this for and it has been I've been using this for and it has been working really really good is for working really really good is for working really really good is for building out my Hugo site which is the building out my Hugo site which is the building out my Hugo site which is the tech hut. TV I have a little project tech hut. TV I have a little project tech hut. TV I have a little project right here I have git setup so in this right here I have git setup so in this right here I have git setup so in this little uh terminal window down here I little uh terminal window down here I little uh terminal window down here I could do uh like get in it and it should could do uh like get in it and it should could do uh like get in it and it should already um initialized but you can see already um initialized but you can see already um initialized but you can see there this is kind how I manage and push there this is kind how I manage and push there this is kind how I manage and push and pull and do all that this is just a and pull and do all that this is just a and pull and do all that this is just a markdown file I have a separate video on markdown file I have a separate video on markdown file I have a separate video on Hugo I've recently switched back to it Hugo I've recently switched back to it Hugo I've recently switched back to it do recommend you check out the site but do recommend you check out the site but do recommend you check out the site but this is really nice so like if I go this is really nice so like if I go this is really nice so like if I go content I have everything all organized content I have everything all organized content I have everything all organized super easily accessible so I can jump in super easily accessible so I can jump in super easily accessible so I can jump in here if I click right here I can get a here if I click right here I can get a here if I click right here I can get a preview of the markdown not the best preview of the markdown not the best preview of the markdown not the best preview window in the world but it works preview window in the world but it works preview window in the world but it works I'd prefer like kind of a split Paine I'd prefer like kind of a split Paine I'd prefer like kind of a split Paine view or even if I get a web browser kind view or even if I get a web browser kind view or even if I get a web browser kind of window right here so I can see the of window right here so I can see the of window right here so I can see the edits live if I had the like the Hugo edits live if I had the like the Hugo edits live if I had the like the Hugo server running in the background so if I server running in the background so if I server running in the background so if I do Hugo serve boom we're running if I do Hugo serve boom we're running if I do Hugo serve boom we're running if I drop this in here it's going to look drop this in here it's going to look drop this in here it's going to look identical it's the same website but Hugo identical it's the same website but Hugo identical it's the same website but Hugo is super cool it's been a lot of effort is super cool it's been a lot of effort is super cool it's been a lot of effort to convert it from WordPress to Hugo to convert it from WordPress to Hugo to convert it from WordPress to Hugo their website might still have some their website might still have some their website might still have some issues but we'll see additionally here issues but we'll see additionally here issues but we'll see additionally here one of the things I've really enjoyed one of the things I've really enjoyed one of the things I've really enjoyed about it is I have a aama running in the about it is I have a aama running in the about it is I have a aama running in the background background background hello bye but what's actually useful is hello bye but what's actually useful is hello bye but what's actually useful is if I go down down here for example and if I go down down here for example and if I go down down here for example and you could see the assistant panel this you could see the assistant panel this you could see the assistant panel this opens up a little kind of chat window

opens up a little kind of chat window opens up a little kind of chat window here you could see I have deep seek R1 here you could see I have deep seek R1 here you could see I have deep seek R1 selected I also have a Qin never used it selected I also have a Qin never used it selected I also have a Qin never used it somebody recommended it uh let's switch somebody recommended it uh let's switch somebody recommended it uh let's switch to it just as an example one thing I to it just as an example one thing I to it just as an example one thing I could do is if I go down here to add could do is if I go down here to add could do is if I go down here to add context I can add some context so let's context I can add some context so let's context I can add some context so let's say I want the file that's currently say I want the file that's currently say I want the file that's currently open in this tab so I would just go like open in this tab so I would just go like open in this tab so I would just go like this and then from there I could be like this and then from there I could be like this and then from there I could be like so can you help me rewrite this fixing so can you help me rewrite this fixing so can you help me rewrite this fixing any grammar or spelling issues so contrl any grammar or spelling issues so contrl any grammar or spelling issues so contrl enter let that think about what it needs enter let that think about what it needs enter let that think about what it needs to do it's a pretty large model this is to do it's a pretty large model this is to do it's a pretty large model this is 14b so uh it might take it just a bit so 14b so uh it might take it just a bit so 14b so uh it might take it just a bit so yeah it's completely rewriting it yeah it's completely rewriting it yeah it's completely rewriting it putting it in proper markdown formatting putting it in proper markdown formatting putting it in proper markdown formatting so you can see for example meanwhile we so you can see for example meanwhile we so you can see for example meanwhile we have some new goodies to talk about it have some new goodies to talk about it have some new goodies to talk about it replaced the new features to talk about replaced the new features to talk about replaced the new features to talk about it it's just pretty cool and like if I it it's just pretty cool and like if I it it's just pretty cool and like if I uh I could turn around and like ask it uh I could turn around and like ask it uh I could turn around and like ask it to help me write like a certain markdown to help me write like a certain markdown to help me write like a certain markdown reminders for certain syntax in markdown reminders for certain syntax in markdown reminders for certain syntax in markdown I could drop in like a chart layout and I could drop in like a chart layout and I could drop in like a chart layout and have it create me a chart with some data have it create me a chart with some data have it create me a chart with some data that I have really cool so that is that that I have really cool so that is that that I have really cool so that is that I would definitely highly recommend I would definitely highly recommend I would definitely highly recommend checking this out if you want something checking this out if you want something checking this out if you want something like vs code but a little lighter there like vs code but a little lighter there like vs code but a little lighter there there are extensions if I go to there are extensions if I go to there are extensions if I go to extensions here you can see there's not extensions here you can see there's not extensions here you can see there's not a lot compared to something like vs code a lot compared to something like vs code a lot compared to something like vs code but we have a whole bunch of different but we have a whole bunch of different but we have a whole bunch of different themes we have various support for like themes we have various support for like themes we have various support for like PHP HTML basically syntax highlighting PHP HTML basically syntax highlighting PHP HTML basically syntax highlighting lot lot lots of cool stuff so let's lot lot lots of cool stuff so let's lot lot lots of cool stuff so let's close that out those are the two kind of close that out those are the two kind of close that out those are the two kind of big ones that I have been using quite big ones that I have been using quite big ones that I have been using quite frequently when I'm not in Zed and I

frequently when I'm not in Zed and I frequently when I'm not in Zed and I need to open the terminal I'm currently need to open the terminal I'm currently need to open the terminal I'm currently using Tabby I did a separate video on using Tabby I did a separate video on using Tabby I did a separate video on this as well make this a little bit this as well make this a little bit this as well make this a little bit bigger is this the fastest terminal no bigger is this the fastest terminal no bigger is this the fastest terminal no is it written in the best code no is it is it written in the best code no is it is it written in the best code no is it pretty yes I love it I do oh there's no pretty yes I love it I do oh there's no pretty yes I love it I do oh there's no tree there we go treat it works quick tree there we go treat it works quick tree there we go treat it works quick it's nice I love it again it's very it's nice I love it again it's very it's nice I love it again it's very pretty you can see up here I'm currently pretty you can see up here I'm currently pretty you can see up here I'm currently in kind of just the default tab what I in kind of just the default tab what I in kind of just the default tab what I really really love about it is just the really really love about it is just the really really love about it is just the nice little profiles and connections nice little profiles and connections nice little profiles and connections here I have one profile this is my here I have one profile this is my here I have one profile this is my Raspberry Pi 5 this Pi 5 here is Raspberry Pi 5 this Pi 5 here is Raspberry Pi 5 this Pi 5 here is currently acting as my twin gate currently acting as my twin gate currently acting as my twin gate connector if I go ahead and connect to connector if I go ahead and connect to connector if I go ahead and connect to it real quick boom we're in we're good it real quick boom we're in we're good it real quick boom we're in we're good to go little pie running Ubuntu if I do to go little pie running Ubuntu if I do to go little pie running Ubuntu if I do a uh Docker PS you can see we have the a uh Docker PS you can see we have the a uh Docker PS you can see we have the twin gate connector and cloudflare DNS twin gate connector and cloudflare DNS twin gate connector and cloudflare DNS so that's updating my uh public I so that's updating my uh public I so that's updating my uh public I address onto Cloud flare for some address onto Cloud flare for some address onto Cloud flare for some specific services that I'm using if specific services that I'm using if specific services that I'm using if you're interested in that I also have a you're interested in that I also have a you're interested in that I also have a whole separate video over here we have whole separate video over here we have whole separate video over here we have some options reconnect we can access some options reconnect we can access some options reconnect we can access SFTP directly through here which is SFTP directly through here which is SFTP directly through here which is super cool probably one of my favorite super cool probably one of my favorite super cool probably one of my favorite features so then I could go ahead and features so then I could go ahead and features so then I could go ahead and kind of browse the file system and kind of browse the file system and kind of browse the file system and actually see what is going on so like if actually see what is going on so like if actually see what is going on so like if I go to open web UI compose yaml I can I go to open web UI compose yaml I can I go to open web UI compose yaml I can save it right here and access it locally save it right here and access it locally save it right here and access it locally fun stuff if I go over here to settings fun stuff if I go over here to settings fun stuff if I go over here to settings there's a whole bunch of stuff so if we there's a whole bunch of stuff so if we there's a whole bunch of stuff so if we go a appearance I can make this um so go a appearance I can make this um so go a appearance I can make this um so this is more granular control if I go this is more granular control if I go this is more granular control if I go color scheme this is what I'm looking color scheme this is what I'm looking color scheme this is what I'm looking for uh you could change it real easily

for uh you could change it real easily for uh you could change it real easily change is basically automatic ah overall change is basically automatic ah overall change is basically automatic ah overall I I love it we have Cloud sync here if I I love it we have Cloud sync here if I I love it we have Cloud sync here if that's something you're interested in that's something you're interested in that's something you're interested in there are a variety of plugins I don't there are a variety of plugins I don't there are a variety of plugins I don't use any plugins at the moment might be use any plugins at the moment might be use any plugins at the moment might be something worth looking into but my something worth looking into but my something worth looking into but my shell and terminal use is not minimal shell and terminal use is not minimal shell and terminal use is not minimal but I don't do it a lot all the time but I don't do it a lot all the time but I don't do it a lot all the time other than like updating config other than like updating config other than like updating config configurations installing packages configurations installing packages configurations installing packages typical stuff here we have SSH so we typical stuff here we have SSH so we typical stuff here we have SSH so we have some settings in regards to that we have some settings in regards to that we have some settings in regards to that we do have a vault which will encrypt all do have a vault which will encrypt all do have a vault which will encrypt all your uh SSH passwords private Keys your uh SSH passwords private Keys your uh SSH passwords private Keys things like that probably should set things like that probably should set things like that probably should set that up we have various window settings that up we have various window settings that up we have various window settings and then you have access to your full and then you have access to your full and then you have access to your full configuration file in which you can configuration file in which you can configuration file in which you can export it and save it and all that stuff export it and save it and all that stuff export it and save it and all that stuff if you set up a whole bunch of like if you set up a whole bunch of like if you set up a whole bunch of like different key bindings for example I I different key bindings for example I I different key bindings for example I I love tappy I can't help myself all right love tappy I can't help myself all right love tappy I can't help myself all right closing all that out boop boop boop now closing all that out boop boop boop now closing all that out boop boop boop now hear me out I generally prefer to use hear me out I generally prefer to use hear me out I generally prefer to use like Plex amp or some other self-hosted like Plex amp or some other self-hosted like Plex amp or some other self-hosted service for my music library it's what I service for my music library it's what I service for my music library it's what I do for my movies TV shows and all that do for my movies TV shows and all that do for my movies TV shows and all that but but everybody in my house has an but but everybody in my house has an but but everybody in my house has an iPhone and because of that the one iPhone and because of that the one iPhone and because of that the one streaming service or subscription thing streaming service or subscription thing streaming service or subscription thing that I do pay for is Apple garbage it's that I do pay for is Apple garbage it's that I do pay for is Apple garbage it's like a package Apple TV which I never like a package Apple TV which I never like a package Apple TV which I never use apple music for everybody it works use apple music for everybody it works use apple music for everybody it works out I teriz my family enough with all out I teriz my family enough with all out I teriz my family enough with all the other self HOSA stuff that I'm doing the other self HOSA stuff that I'm doing the other self HOSA stuff that I'm doing paying for one service is the least I paying for one service is the least I paying for one service is the least I could do and I like to take advantage of could do and I like to take advantage of could do and I like to take advantage of things that I pay for so I actually

things that I pay for so I actually things that I pay for so I actually found this cider it is a beautiful Apple found this cider it is a beautiful Apple found this cider it is a beautiful Apple music client if you happen to use apple music client if you happen to use apple music client if you happen to use apple music this is something that is worth music this is something that is worth music this is something that is worth installing and checking out it's slow as installing and checking out it's slow as installing and checking out it's slow as hell to start in most cases but when it hell to start in most cases but when it hell to start in most cases but when it finally does it is beautiful really finally does it is beautiful really finally does it is beautiful really beautiful layout you see some of the beautiful layout you see some of the beautiful layout you see some of the stuff I have recently Listen to It's all stuff I have recently Listen to It's all stuff I have recently Listen to It's all from this playlist I was just kind of from this playlist I was just kind of from this playlist I was just kind of going through what people are listening going through what people are listening going through what people are listening to but it has all the same stuff that to but it has all the same stuff that to but it has all the same stuff that you'd expect in apple music and it is you'd expect in apple music and it is you'd expect in apple music and it is designed and just looks beautiful here's designed and just looks beautiful here's designed and just looks beautiful here's a more better representation of the a more better representation of the a more better representation of the music I actually listen to if that is music I actually listen to if that is music I actually listen to if that is something you are curious about but it something you are curious about but it something you are curious about but it supports everything if I go listen now supports everything if I go listen now supports everything if I go listen now for example we have all the fun for example we have all the fun for example we have all the fun playlists and kind of radio stuff that playlists and kind of radio stuff that playlists and kind of radio stuff that they support you could use this to they support you could use this to they support you could use this to browse so some of the latest songs you browse so some of the latest songs you browse so some of the latest songs you can see it is a little sluggish compared can see it is a little sluggish compared can see it is a little sluggish compared to self-hosted Alternatives which if you to self-hosted Alternatives which if you to self-hosted Alternatives which if you don't have apple music if you don't have don't have apple music if you don't have don't have apple music if you don't have any Services that's good for you overall any Services that's good for you overall any Services that's good for you overall it it's Apple music but on a beautiful it it's Apple music but on a beautiful it it's Apple music but on a beautiful client that works on Linux it it it's client that works on Linux it it it's client that works on Linux it it it's great so those are the four kind of big great so those are the four kind of big great so those are the four kind of big applications that I use every day if I applications that I use every day if I applications that I use every day if I go in here we also have a better bird go in here we also have a better bird go in here we also have a better bird I've been trying this out I've uh there I've been trying this out I've uh there I've been trying this out I've uh there we go I found an email folder without we go I found an email folder without we go I found an email folder without anything super critical in it I I have anything super critical in it I I have anything super critical in it I I have been doing my absolute best to try to been doing my absolute best to try to been doing my absolute best to try to stray away from just using the web stray away from just using the web stray away from just using the web interface of whatever email service interface of whatever email service interface of whatever email service provider I happen to be using and trying provider I happen to be using and trying provider I happen to be using and trying to actually use a male client overall

to actually use a male client overall to actually use a male client overall it's really nice I've used Thunderbird it's really nice I've used Thunderbird it's really nice I've used Thunderbird in the past and just the UI everything in the past and just the UI everything in the past and just the UI everything it wasn't that great but it has gotten a it wasn't that great but it has gotten a it wasn't that great but it has gotten a lot better but there was a recent update lot better but there was a recent update lot better but there was a recent update a while ago that we did cover that a while ago that we did cover that a while ago that we did cover that really just cleaned up the application really just cleaned up the application really just cleaned up the application made it nice here on their homepage you made it nice here on their homepage you made it nice here on their homepage you can check out their feature table this can check out their feature table this can check out their feature table this goes over just about everything goes over just about everything goes over just about everything including multi line views like Outlook including multi line views like Outlook including multi line views like Outlook vertical tabs account colors attachments vertical tabs account colors attachments vertical tabs account colors attachments on top just a bunch of little tiny kind on top just a bunch of little tiny kind on top just a bunch of little tiny kind of quality of life improvements that you of quality of life improvements that you of quality of life improvements that you get from using better bird if you're a get from using better bird if you're a get from using better bird if you're a Thunderbird user it might be worth Thunderbird user it might be worth Thunderbird user it might be worth checking out there are a lot of features checking out there are a lot of features checking out there are a lot of features here and I'm going to kind of go through here and I'm going to kind of go through here and I'm going to kind of go through them a little bit more in depth and try them a little bit more in depth and try them a little bit more in depth and try some of them out and see if it's some of them out and see if it's some of them out and see if it's actually worth it sticking with better actually worth it sticking with better actually worth it sticking with better bir better Bird versus Thunderbird but bir better Bird versus Thunderbird but bir better Bird versus Thunderbird but uh time will tell so those are the big uh time will tell so those are the big uh time will tell so those are the big applications that I am using I'm going applications that I am using I'm going applications that I am using I'm going to quickly skim some more obviously you to quickly skim some more obviously you to quickly skim some more obviously you saw OBS Studio here I do have a telegram saw OBS Studio here I do have a telegram saw OBS Studio here I do have a telegram web or telegram chat client right here web or telegram chat client right here web or telegram chat client right here I use for all the thumbnails on the I use for all the thumbnails on the I use for all the thumbnails on the channel it is a fantastic editor it's channel it is a fantastic editor it's channel it is a fantastic editor it's what I'm used to it's what I'll continue what I'm used to it's what I'll continue what I'm used to it's what I'll continue using and from there we have filezilla using and from there we have filezilla using and from there we have filezilla which um I've been using Tabby more for which um I've been using Tabby more for which um I've been using Tabby more for this feature specifically but filezilla this feature specifically but filezilla this feature specifically but filezilla does have way more features when it does have way more features when it does have way more features when it comes to actually doing these kinds of comes to actually doing these kinds of comes to actually doing these kinds of things so I quickly connected to that things so I quickly connected to that things so I quickly connected to that pie and you could see a lot of the same pie and you could see a lot of the same pie and you could see a lot of the same stuff here we have the compos yaml this stuff here we have the compos yaml this stuff here we have the compos yaml this is is a lot easier to kind of move files is is a lot easier to kind of move files is is a lot easier to kind of move files uh between various systems uh it's a uh between various systems uh it's a uh between various systems uh it's a beautiful tool Libra office is great beautiful tool Libra office is great beautiful tool Libra office is great even though I end up spending most of my even though I end up spending most of my even though I end up spending most of my time in nexcloud anything that you don't

pretty good experience in this so far I pretty good experience in this so far I talk crap about KDE plasma but it truly talk crap about KDE plasma but it truly talk crap about KDE plasma but it truly truly is a fantastic desktop environment truly is a fantastic desktop environment truly is a fantastic desktop environment despite its kind of minor graphical despite its kind of minor graphical despite its kind of minor graphical glitches here and there and my screen glitches here and there and my screen glitches here and there and my screen went black twice while recording this so went black twice while recording this so went black twice while recording this so I'm hoping that doesn't have any I'm hoping that doesn't have any I'm hoping that doesn't have any negative implications but despite all negative implications but despite all negative implications but despite all that it it's really good very very that it it's really good very very that it it's really good very very highly customizable you can see the dock highly customizable you can see the dock highly customizable you can see the dock is kind of this like floating pill on is kind of this like floating pill on is kind of this like floating pill on the bottom here which closely resembles the bottom here which closely resembles the bottom here which closely resembles to what I would do in Gnome or gnome and to what I would do in Gnome or gnome and to what I would do in Gnome or gnome and it's actually a default now I just kind it's actually a default now I just kind it's actually a default now I just kind of squeezed it in a little bit which is of squeezed it in a little bit which is of squeezed it in a little bit which is really easy to do you just um do show really easy to do you just um do show really easy to do you just um do show configuration panel for the width you configuration panel for the width you configuration panel for the width you can see I have it set to custom here and can see I have it set to custom here and can see I have it set to custom here and then I just go ahead and move it around then I just go ahead and move it around then I just go ahead and move it around and life is good so for the and life is good so for the and life is good so for the customization what am I got what do I customization what am I got what do I customization what am I got what do I got going on here if we head down head got going on here if we head down head got going on here if we head down head on down to colors and themes there we on down to colors and themes there we on down to colors and themes there we are we have Ant Dark this one is great are we have Ant Dark this one is great are we have Ant Dark this one is great it's beautiful I love it I don't have it's beautiful I love it I don't have it's beautiful I love it I don't have the full effect going on here so if I the full effect going on here so if I the full effect going on here so if I open up uh this you can see not open up uh this you can see not open up uh this you can see not completely installed as it shows in the completely installed as it shows in the completely installed as it shows in the demo but the color scheming is beautiful demo but the color scheming is beautiful demo but the color scheming is beautiful in addition to that I have in addition to that I have in addition to that I have oh there we go okay so now I have the oh there we go okay so now I have the oh there we go okay so now I have the proper colors selected we have the proper colors selected we have the proper colors selected we have the application Styles here set to Breeze application Styles here set to Breeze application Styles here set to Breeze plasma style is is also Ant Dark window plasma style is is also Ant Dark window plasma style is is also Ant Dark window decorations icons I do have the fluent decorations icons I do have the fluent decorations icons I do have the fluent gray dark ones which I do like better gray dark ones which I do like better gray dark ones which I do like better than a lot of the other options that I than a lot of the other options that I than a lot of the other options that I was going with these ones are nice but was going with these ones are nice but was going with these ones are nice but I've noticed this fluent gray or the I've noticed this fluent gray or the I've noticed this fluent gray or the just the fluent icon packs have way more

just the fluent icon packs have way more just the fluent icon packs have way more icons they don't have the Zen or Zed icons they don't have the Zen or Zed icons they don't have the Zen or Zed unfortunately I can't really have these unfortunately I can't really have these unfortunately I can't really have these icons next to each other in the taskbar icons next to each other in the taskbar icons next to each other in the taskbar it doesn't look that good so I got to it doesn't look that good so I got to it doesn't look that good so I got to have them separate and we have a custom have them separate and we have a custom have them separate and we have a custom cursor here and then the splash screen cursor here and then the splash screen cursor here and then the splash screen is going to be in dark with their login is going to be in dark with their login is going to be in dark with their login and of course over here you saw I have and of course over here you saw I have and of course over here you saw I have some widgets just to give me a little some widgets just to give me a little some widgets just to give me a little CPU usage overview and that's basically CPU usage overview and that's basically CPU usage overview and that's basically it that's it that's what we got going on it that's it that's what we got going on it that's it that's what we got going on today I have the Mac Mini right next to today I have the Mac Mini right next to today I have the Mac Mini right next to I'm still going to use that primarily I'm still going to use that primarily I'm still going to use that primarily for Da Vinci resolve and depending on for Da Vinci resolve and depending on for Da Vinci resolve and depending on how good this recording turns out I how good this recording turns out I how good this recording turns out I might end up uh switching it over kind might end up uh switching it over kind might end up uh switching it over kind of as my capture card computer and of as my capture card computer and of as my capture card computer and having OBS on that but we will see having OBS on that but we will see having OBS on that but we will see within OBS uh we still don't have full within OBS uh we still don't have full within OBS uh we still don't have full access to like Hardware transcoding with access to like Hardware transcoding with access to like Hardware transcoding with this AMD chip which is a con frankly but this AMD chip which is a con frankly but this AMD chip which is a con frankly but I mean my CPU is running at 6% so it's I mean my CPU is running at 6% so it's I mean my CPU is running at 6% so it's not too bad so yeah with all that I do not too bad so yeah with all that I do not too bad so yeah with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful hope you have an absolutely beautiful hope you have an absolutely beautiful day anything that I mentioned in this day anything that I mentioned in this day anything that I mentioned in this video will be linked down below so go video will be linked down below so go video will be linked down below so go ahead and check it out and with all that ahead and check it out and with all that ahead and check it out and with all that have a beautiful day and goodbye oh hey have a beautiful day and goodbye oh hey have a beautiful day and goodbye oh hey there real quick I almost forgot I'm uh there real quick I almost forgot I'm uh there real quick I almost forgot I'm uh here moveing files and nextcloud it it's here moveing files and nextcloud it it's here moveing files and nextcloud it it's the nextcloud desktop thing probably one the nextcloud desktop thing probably one the nextcloud desktop thing probably one of the greatest little things I have of the greatest little things I have of the greatest little things I have going on here if I open it up you could going on here if I open it up you could going on here if I open it up you could see it's nap on my desktop which syncs see it's nap on my desktop which syncs see it's nap on my desktop which syncs with my with my with my nexcloud nexcloud nexcloud um yeah
