  1. sometimes I hate Windows just going to sometimes I hate Windows just going to record this video uh it was buggy as record this video uh it was buggy as record this video uh it was buggy as hell ended up having to update drivers hell ended up having to update drivers hell ended up having to update drivers bunch of other things but regardless I bunch of other things but regardless I bunch of other things but regardless I do find myself in this ecosystem a do find myself in this ecosystem a do find myself in this ecosystem a little bit more than I would prefer little bit more than I would prefer little bit more than I would prefer there's just some things that work there's just some things that work there's just some things that work better whether that be gaming uh denture better whether that be gaming uh denture better whether that be gaming uh denture resolve uh that's it that's really it oh resolve uh that's it that's really it oh resolve uh that's it that's really it oh and just general touchscreen capability and just general touchscreen capability and just general touchscreen capability this is actually a tablet that I'm this is actually a tablet that I'm this is actually a tablet that I'm currently recording on it's the minutes currently recording on it's the minutes currently recording on it's the minutes form one covered it in the Linux video form one covered it in the Linux video form one covered it in the Linux video almost ready for my full review so do almost ready for my full review so do almost ready for my full review so do subscribe so you don't miss that but the subscribe so you don't miss that but the subscribe so you don't miss that but the point of this video is what is my Linux point of this video is what is my Linux point of this video is what is my Linux setup and the app or what is my Windows setup and the app or what is my Windows setup and the app or what is my Windows setup and the actual applications that I setup and the actual applications that I setup and the actual applications that I use when I'm in this ecosystem on a uh use when I'm in this ecosystem on a uh use when I'm in this ecosystem on a uh sometimes daily basis but before we get sometimes daily basis but before we get sometimes daily basis but before we get into that I do need to thank ug green into that I do need to thank ug green into that I do need to thank ug green for sponsoring this video they've sent for sponsoring this video they've sent for sponsoring this video they've sent over their nexe power bank with 20,000 over their nexe power bank with 20,000 over their nexe power bank with 20,000 milliamps of capacity with 130 wat milliamps of capacity with 130 wat milliamps of capacity with 130 wat output adopting an advanced column output adopting an advanced column output adopting an advanced column designed to maximize the use of internal designed to maximize the use of internal designed to maximize the use of internal space the compact shape makes it easy to space the compact shape makes it easy to space the compact shape makes it easy to carry without adding too much weight carry without adding too much weight carry without adding too much weight making it easy to hold in the palm of making it easy to hold in the palm of making it easy to hold in the palm of your hand supporting 100 wat fast your hand supporting 100 wat fast your hand supporting 100 wat fast charging out of the out one port here charging out of the out one port here charging out of the out one port here it's more than enough you replenish it's more than enough you replenish it's more than enough you replenish power in a short time for example power in a short time for example power in a short time for example charging an iPhone 15 by 55% or a charging an iPhone 15 by 55% or a charging an iPhone 15 by 55% or a MacBook Pro 16 in by 43% in 30 minutes MacBook Pro 16 in by 43% in 30 minutes MacBook Pro 16 in by 43% in 30 minutes my favorite thing is the TFT smart my favorite thing is the TFT smart my favorite thing is the TFT smart display so instead of having to rely on display so instead of having to rely on display so instead of having to rely on some LED lights you have a full screen some LED lights you have a full screen some LED lights you have a full screen that gives you the battery power that gives you the battery power that gives you the battery power remaining charge time output and input

  2. remaining charge time output and input remaining charge time output and input power voltages current and more the power voltages current and more the power voltages current and more the 20,000 milliamp battery is airline 20,000 milliamp battery is airline 20,000 milliamp battery is airline approved and it can fully charge an approved and it can fully charge an approved and it can fully charge an iPhone 15 up to four times or fully iPhone 15 up to four times or fully iPhone 15 up to four times or fully charge multiple devices on your trip so charge multiple devices on your trip so charge multiple devices on your trip so if you're interested in checking out if you're interested in checking out if you're interested in checking out this battery do go ahead and click the this battery do go ahead and click the this battery do go ahead and click the first link in the description to go first link in the description to go first link in the description to go ahead and learn more and pick yours up ahead and learn more and pick yours up ahead and learn more and pick yours up today and the first thing I'm going to today and the first thing I'm going to today and the first thing I'm going to go over is the tweaks the things that go over is the tweaks the things that go over is the tweaks the things that need to be changed if I go over to this need to be changed if I go over to this need to be changed if I go over to this desktop I have a when you tell this is desktop I have a when you tell this is desktop I have a when you tell this is actually an application by Chris Titus actually an application by Chris Titus actually an application by Chris Titus friend of the channel Chris Titus he friend of the channel Chris Titus he friend of the channel Chris Titus he does a phenomenal job with this piece of does a phenomenal job with this piece of does a phenomenal job with this piece of software and if you are installing software and if you are installing software and if you are installing Windows this is one of the very first Windows this is one of the very first Windows this is one of the very first things you should probably do first of things you should probably do first of things you should probably do first of all gives you a really nice kind of all gives you a really nice kind of all gives you a really nice kind of layout of all the popular utilities and layout of all the popular utilities and layout of all the popular utilities and tools a lot of these I use and you can tools a lot of these I use and you can tools a lot of these I use and you can easily install them through here it uses easily install them through here it uses easily install them through here it uses wingit which is a uh package manager wingit which is a uh package manager wingit which is a uh package manager actually a native package manager for actually a native package manager for actually a native package manager for Windows that you can use to install Windows that you can use to install Windows that you can use to install applications and you can see an absolute applications and you can see an absolute applications and you can see an absolute boatload here all you do go through boatload here all you do go through boatload here all you do go through check what you need click install life check what you need click install life check what you need click install life is good where I have the most fun over is good where I have the most fun over is good where I have the most fun over here is tweaks real quick I'm going to here is tweaks real quick I'm going to here is tweaks real quick I'm going to go through and check some of the things go through and check some of the things go through and check some of the things I actually do there we go I went through I actually do there we go I went through I actually do there we go I went through and did my kind of little customization and did my kind of little customization and did my kind of little customization that I do uh disable some Telemetry we that I do uh disable some Telemetry we that I do uh disable some Telemetry we disable some unneeded networking stuff disable some unneeded networking stuff disable some unneeded networking stuff here enable in task with right click we here enable in task with right click we here enable in task with right click we have switching from Powell 5 to have switching from Powell 5 to have switching from Powell 5 to Powershell 7 The bloting Edge services Powershell 7 The bloting Edge services Powershell 7 The bloting Edge services to manual and right over here I do do to manual and right over here I do do to manual and right over here I do do enable the classic rightclick menu as enable the classic rightclick menu as enable the classic rightclick menu as well as switching over to UTC so if I do

  3. well as switching over to UTC so if I do well as switching over to UTC so if I do ever want to dual boot Linux on the ever want to dual boot Linux on the ever want to dual boot Linux on the machine that I'm on it it just gets rid machine that I'm on it it just gets rid machine that I'm on it it just gets rid of one potential issue that may arise of one potential issue that may arise of one potential issue that may arise because of that and when we hover over because of that and when we hover over because of that and when we hover over these it does give us a nice little these it does give us a nice little these it does give us a nice little description of what is going on and to description of what is going on and to description of what is going on and to learn more you can just click these learn more you can just click these learn more you can just click these little uh question links here which take little uh question links here which take little uh question links here which take you to his website giving you more you to his website giving you more you to his website giving you more information we have customized information we have customized information we have customized preferences here uh this one is the only preferences here uh this one is the only preferences here uh this one is the only thing on here that's not working right thing on here that's not working right thing on here that's not working right now which is unfortunate if I like try now which is unfortunate if I like try now which is unfortunate if I like try to enable that we get uh some permission to enable that we get uh some permission to enable that we get uh some permission errors over here so I I don't want this errors over here so I I don't want this errors over here so I I don't want this here but it but it's okay configuration here but it but it's okay configuration here but it but it's okay configuration here this is another one where helps you here this is another one where helps you here this is another one where helps you enable a lot of services that you're enable a lot of services that you're enable a lot of services that you're eventually going to need in an eventually going to need in an eventually going to need in an application you install whether that be application you install whether that be application you install whether that be The NET Framework uh virtualization The NET Framework uh virtualization The NET Framework uh virtualization stuff NFS for the network file system stuff NFS for the network file system stuff NFS for the network file system and you can enable Windows Subs system and you can enable Windows Subs system and you can enable Windows Subs system for Linux here which I've done for Linux here which I've done for Linux here which I've done additionally we have updates so this additionally we have updates so this additionally we have updates so this right here security only updates allows right here security only updates allows right here security only updates allows you to uh prevent things from changing you to uh prevent things from changing you to uh prevent things from changing radically with just a normal Windows radically with just a normal Windows radically with just a normal Windows update and micro wind which is a whole update and micro wind which is a whole update and micro wind which is a whole another thing allows you to create a another thing allows you to create a another thing allows you to create a lightweight ISO I've never done that but lightweight ISO I've never done that but lightweight ISO I've never done that but it's it's cool that that's there so it's it's cool that that's there so it's it's cool that that's there so after all the tweaks that I want are after all the tweaks that I want are after all the tweaks that I want are done and my system is at least done and my system is at least done and my system is at least moderately usable I switch out the moderately usable I switch out the moderately usable I switch out the terminal this is the one I'm currently terminal this is the one I'm currently terminal this is the one I'm currently using this is the fluent terminal it using this is the fluent terminal it using this is the fluent terminal it looks absolutely beautiful as you can looks absolutely beautiful as you can looks absolutely beautiful as you can see here uh it's not nearly as feature see here uh it's not nearly as feature see here uh it's not nearly as feature Rich as something like a Putty for Rich as something like a Putty for Rich as something like a Putty for example which is a client that you can example which is a client that you can example which is a client that you can use for like remote connections this any use for like remote connections this any use for like remote connections this any ter Al supports uh SSH but if I go over ter Al supports uh SSH but if I go over ter Al supports uh SSH but if I go over here to the menu we could do new tab new here to the menu we could do new tab new here to the menu we could do new tab new window if I go new tab you could see

  4. window if I go new tab you could see window if I go new tab you could see some presets that I have here and these some presets that I have here and these some presets that I have here and these are some local machines so for example are some local machines so for example are some local machines so for example if I go to Docker Pi here type in my if I go to Docker Pi here type in my if I go to Docker Pi here type in my password this is just a little uh Docker password this is just a little uh Docker password this is just a little uh Docker instance running on a Raspberry Pi and instance running on a Raspberry Pi and instance running on a Raspberry Pi and we're in you can see it and it looks we're in you can see it and it looks we're in you can see it and it looks good too that's because there is good too that's because there is good too that's because there is actually a theme this is the Ubuntu actually a theme this is the Ubuntu actually a theme this is the Ubuntu theme if I go over to settings here and theme if I go over to settings here and theme if I go over to settings here and go down to my SSH profiles you can see I go down to my SSH profiles you can see I go down to my SSH profiles you can see I have Docker pi and my next Cloud virtual have Docker pi and my next Cloud virtual have Docker pi and my next Cloud virtual machine and we can set the theme here machine and we can set the theme here machine and we can set the theme here there's not a lot of themes which is there's not a lot of themes which is there's not a lot of themes which is unfortunate uh if I edit this for unfortunate uh if I edit this for unfortunate uh if I edit this for example and go to theme we can see we do example and go to theme we can see we do example and go to theme we can see we do have a couple options none of them look have a couple options none of them look have a couple options none of them look that good to me except for the ubu bash that good to me except for the ubu bash that good to me except for the ubu bash and Powershell looks pretty good but and Powershell looks pretty good but and Powershell looks pretty good but it's cool too cuz then you can add uh it's cool too cuz then you can add uh it's cool too cuz then you can add uh environmental variables uh you can use environmental variables uh you can use environmental variables uh you can use mosh if that's something you want mosh if that's something you want mosh if that's something you want overall this SSH profile thing is nice overall this SSH profile thing is nice overall this SSH profile thing is nice and then over here we have some uh and then over here we have some uh and then over here we have some uh specific terminal customization so the specific terminal customization so the specific terminal customization so the font size and all that again not very font size and all that again not very font size and all that again not very many features but just everything that I many features but just everything that I many features but just everything that I happen to want and need so this fluent happen to want and need so this fluent happen to want and need so this fluent terminal is awesome and another thing I terminal is awesome and another thing I terminal is awesome and another thing I do find myself using quite a bit if I go do find myself using quite a bit if I go do find myself using quite a bit if I go new tap here and I go WSL that's the new tap here and I go WSL that's the new tap here and I go WSL that's the windows subsystem for Linux so you can windows subsystem for Linux so you can windows subsystem for Linux so you can see here I do have a Linux CLI see here I do have a Linux CLI see here I do have a Linux CLI background it's auntu running in the background it's auntu running in the background it's auntu running in the background and I primarily use this for background and I primarily use this for background and I primarily use this for uh scripts and things that don't really uh scripts and things that don't really uh scripts and things that don't really work that well in Windows just throw work that well in Windows just throw work that well in Windows just throw open WSL life is good example of a open WSL life is good example of a open WSL life is good example of a recent use case was a image the image recent use case was a image the image recent use case was a image the image CLI tool to backup photos just ran it CLI tool to backup photos just ran it CLI tool to backup photos just ran it through here and was easily able to link

  5. through here and was easily able to link through here and was easily able to link it to a network use this the utility it to a network use this the utility it to a network use this the utility here and uh back up very large photo here and uh back up very large photo here and uh back up very large photo libraries within WSL it was good and of libraries within WSL it was good and of libraries within WSL it was good and of course it's full Linux so there's a lot course it's full Linux so there's a lot course it's full Linux so there's a lot of other use cases for it uh if you of other use cases for it uh if you of other use cases for it uh if you don't have easy access to a virtual don't have easy access to a virtual don't have easy access to a virtual machine or you just want to do something machine or you just want to do something machine or you just want to do something real quick and easy on this machine hey real quick and easy on this machine hey real quick and easy on this machine hey another thing you probably noticed over another thing you probably noticed over another thing you probably noticed over here if I close at the terminal I do here if I close at the terminal I do here if I close at the terminal I do have some widgets some nice little CPU have some widgets some nice little CPU have some widgets some nice little CPU Widgets or um system monitoring widgets Widgets or um system monitoring widgets Widgets or um system monitoring widgets and this is a thing I often do usually and this is a thing I often do usually and this is a thing I often do usually integrated into like The Gnome uh top integrated into like The Gnome uh top integrated into like The Gnome uh top bar I like to kind of have a way to bar I like to kind of have a way to bar I like to kind of have a way to monitor my system there this is a really monitor my system there this is a really monitor my system there this is a really pretty way to do it that looks and pretty way to do it that looks and pretty way to do it that looks and matches kind of the windows aesthetic matches kind of the windows aesthetic matches kind of the windows aesthetic here if I rightclick you can see that here if I rightclick you can see that here if I rightclick you can see that this is rain meter if I go manage here this is rain meter if I go manage here this is rain meter if I go manage here uh I do have some other things that I uh I do have some other things that I uh I do have some other things that I was testing out and playing with for was testing out and playing with for was testing out and playing with for example authentic weather here if if I example authentic weather here if if I example authentic weather here if if I go ahead and load that it'll pop it in go ahead and load that it'll pop it in go ahead and load that it'll pop it in over here but again I was just playing over here but again I was just playing over here but again I was just playing around with it it's not completely set around with it it's not completely set around with it it's not completely set up what I do have set up right here is up what I do have set up right here is up what I do have set up right here is the system fetch uh Suite or the skins the system fetch uh Suite or the skins the system fetch uh Suite or the skins of utilities here and for example let's of utilities here and for example let's of utilities here and for example let's just say I wanted an analog clock I just say I wanted an analog clock I just say I wanted an analog clock I would go over here I would load that in would go over here I would load that in would go over here I would load that in and now we have this really nice uh and now we have this really nice uh and now we have this really nice uh analog clock that kind of fits the analog clock that kind of fits the analog clock that kind of fits the aesthetic we do have some options here aesthetic we do have some options here aesthetic we do have some options here you can uh customize the coordinates or you can uh customize the coordinates or you can uh customize the coordinates or the location on the actual screen if you the location on the actual screen if you the location on the actual screen if you want to get it really specific want to get it really specific want to get it really specific transparency uh things on hover if I go transparency uh things on hover if I go transparency uh things on hover if I go over here to edit settings and you could over here to edit settings and you could over here to edit settings and you could actually make customizations through actually make customizations through actually make customizations through here which that actually takes us to

  6. here which that actually takes us to here which that actually takes us to another application I've been using this another application I've been using this another application I've been using this since this channel used to be like a since this channel used to be like a since this channel used to be like a Minecraft server Channel and that is Minecraft server Channel and that is Minecraft server Channel and that is notepad++ absolutely amazing text editor notepad++ absolutely amazing text editor notepad++ absolutely amazing text editor code editor configuration editor I love code editor configuration editor I love code editor configuration editor I love it especially for just like quick little it especially for just like quick little it especially for just like quick little things like editing a config like this things like editing a config like this things like editing a config like this it's remarkable has a ton of different it's remarkable has a ton of different it's remarkable has a ton of different features and stuff in which I do not use features and stuff in which I do not use features and stuff in which I do not use but when it comes to santex highlighting but when it comes to santex highlighting but when it comes to santex highlighting things like that it's it's pretty nice things like that it's it's pretty nice things like that it's it's pretty nice uh I also use vscodium right here uh I also use vscodium right here uh I also use vscodium right here vscodium is basically just a vs code vscodium is basically just a vs code vscodium is basically just a vs code without all the uh Microsoft nonsense without all the uh Microsoft nonsense without all the uh Microsoft nonsense and I use it mostly to edit Docker and I use it mostly to edit Docker and I use it mostly to edit Docker configurations so you can see right here configurations so you can see right here configurations so you can see right here I have my app data folder automatically I have my app data folder automatically I have my app data folder automatically here uh from my unrate server and you here uh from my unrate server and you here uh from my unrate server and you can see a lot of the various uh can see a lot of the various uh can see a lot of the various uh configuration folders that I have for configuration folders that I have for configuration folders that I have for example if I go to something like example if I go to something like example if I go to something like Telegraph here open up the telegraph com Telegraph here open up the telegraph com Telegraph here open up the telegraph com file it's there ready to go I can make file it's there ready to go I can make file it's there ready to go I can make any edits here and then use the terminal any edits here and then use the terminal any edits here and then use the terminal application to reload those uh Docker application to reload those uh Docker application to reload those uh Docker containers and the tool that's actually containers and the tool that's actually containers and the tool that's actually a Microsoft tool that I use uh a little a Microsoft tool that I use uh a little a Microsoft tool that I use uh a little bit here and there is this this is PC bit here and there is this this is PC bit here and there is this this is PC manager this is basically uh C cleaner manager this is basically uh C cleaner manager this is basically uh C cleaner as it has a vast majority of all of the as it has a vast majority of all of the as it has a vast majority of all of the features except for the uh it's not features except for the uh it's not features except for the uh it's not weird in terms of how the the company weird in terms of how the the company weird in terms of how the the company that runs C cleaner functions and it that runs C cleaner functions and it that runs C cleaner functions and it just better integrates with some of the just better integrates with some of the just better integrates with some of the uh other things that Microsoft provides uh other things that Microsoft provides uh other things that Microsoft provides out of the gate see here I have health out of the gate see here I have health out of the gate see here I have health check processes if I click on Boost

  7. check processes if I click on Boost check processes if I click on Boost right here it's going to go ahead and right here it's going to go ahead and right here it's going to go ahead and wipe those temporary files and if we go wipe those temporary files and if we go wipe those temporary files and if we go over to protection we can manage our over to protection we can manage our over to protection we can manage our Windows updates virus scanning and all Windows updates virus scanning and all Windows updates virus scanning and all that through here and we could see our that through

the current running process es and if I go back we can actually manage our if I go back we can actually manage our if I go back we can actually manage our startup applications here for example I startup applications here for example I startup applications here for example I don't want that and they do have don't want that and they do have don't want that and they do have recommended here which we will keep recommended here which we will keep recommended here which we will keep those and then there's a tool box with those and then there's a tool box with those and then there's a tool box with other things that you can access which other things that you can access which other things that you can access which again are just Windows tools web tools again are just Windows tools web tools again are just Windows tools web tools and if I wanted to I can enable this to and if I wanted to I can enable this to and if I wanted to I can enable this to show the toolbar on the desktop and now show the toolbar on the desktop and now show the toolbar on the desktop and now we have this thing floating around I we have this thing floating around I we have this thing floating around I personally never will or have used that personally never will or have used that personally never will or have used that but that's just another little tool but that's just another little tool but that's just another little tool going from there we have my most going from there we have my most going from there we have my most frequent applications which I have frequent applications which I have frequent applications which I have sitting here on the bottom I currently sitting here on the bottom I currently sitting here on the bottom I currently use Microsoft Edge however it has been use Microsoft Edge however it has been use Microsoft Edge however it has been uh debloated due to the first thing that uh debloated due to the first thing that uh debloated due to the first thing that we mentioned uh but I'm starting to we mentioned uh but I'm starting to we mentioned uh but I'm starting to dabble around and play with Firefox a dabble around and play with Firefox a dabble around and play with Firefox a bit more it was my primary web browser bit more it was my primary web browser bit more it was my primary web browser very long time but honestly I even use very long time but honestly I even use very long time but honestly I even use Microsoft Edge on Linux and I get a lot Microsoft Edge on Linux and I get a lot Microsoft Edge on Linux and I get a lot of comments a lot of uh distasteful of comments a lot of uh distasteful of comments a lot of uh distasteful comments about that but speaking of comments about that but speaking of comments about that but speaking of mozzilla I have been using a mozzilla mozzilla I have been using a mozzilla mozzilla I have been using a mozzilla Thunderbird as my primary email client Thunderbird as my primary email client Thunderbird as my primary email client move it on over here you see I have a move it on over here you see I have a move it on over here you see I have a custom theme it looks pretty good I like custom theme it looks pretty good I like custom theme it looks pretty good I like like the layout it's very similar to like the layout it's very similar to like the layout it's very similar to gmail which I've been in forever I gmail which I've been in forever I gmail which I've been in forever I haven't really I used mail spring for haven't really I used mail spring for haven't really I used mail spring for quite a while that's another really good quite a while that's another really good quite a while that's another really good one with some really uh specific one with some really uh specific one with some really uh specific features to help you kind of track uh

  8. features to help you kind of track uh features to help you kind of track uh people open it quick click links or people open it quick click links or people open it quick click links or things like that but I haven't really things like that but I haven't really things like that but I haven't really used that in a long time I usually just used that in a long time I usually just used that in a long time I usually just stick with the uh Gmail interface but I stick with the uh Gmail interface but I stick with the uh Gmail interface but I I forced myself to start using this more I forced myself to start using this more I forced myself to start using this more after they updated the application made after they updated the application made after they updated the application made it more modern and appealing for me but it more modern and appealing for me but it more modern and appealing for me but just overall it's a a really solid just overall it's a a really solid just overall it's a a really solid application especially compared to when application especially compared to when application especially compared to when I tried using it more frequently a I tried using it more frequently a I tried using it more frequently a couple years ago uh it's added it it's couple years ago uh it's added it it's couple years ago uh it's added it it's just gotten substantially better from just gotten substantially better from just gotten substantially better from there we have Da Vinci resolve this does there we have Da Vinci resolve this does there we have Da Vinci resolve this does work on Linux but not that great work on Linux but not that great work on Linux but not that great honestly this is probably the main honestly this is probably the main honestly this is probably the main reason I find myself on a Windows reason I find myself on a Windows reason I find myself on a Windows machine um is Da Vinci resolve it's a machine um is Da Vinci resolve it's a machine um is Da Vinci resolve it's a get to work on Linux if you don't have a get to work on Linux if you don't have a get to work on Linux if you don't have a Nvidia GPU which I do not and there's Nvidia GPU which I do not and there's Nvidia GPU which I do not and there's other little scripts and things that you other little scripts and things that you other little scripts and things that you have to do to the files to get them to have to do to the files to get them to have to do to the files to get them to actually function properly but Dent actually function properly but Dent actually function properly but Dent resolve is by far the best video editor resolve is by far the best video editor resolve is by far the best video editor that I have ever used and it's really that I have ever used and it's really that I have ever used and it's really cool because they have a free version cool because they have a free version cool because they have a free version that you could just use and have a lot that you could just use and have a lot that you could just use and have a lot of the functionality that you have from of the functionality that you have from of the functionality that you have from the uh studio version which I do have the uh studio version which I do have the uh studio version which I do have the studio version which adds some the studio version which adds some the studio version which adds some additional like Graphics this little additional like Graphics this little additional like Graphics this little picture and picture that you're seeing picture and picture that you're seeing picture and picture that you're seeing right now is a uh pre-baked in studio right now is a uh pre-baked in studio right now is a uh pre-baked in studio effect uh I believe I also have Kaden effect uh I believe I also have Kaden effect uh I believe I also have Kaden live in here which is the uh a free and live in here which is the uh a free and live in here which is the uh a free and open source video editor I primarily open source video editor I primarily open source video editor I primarily used the Vinci but for something that used the Vinci but for something that used the Vinci but for something that just requires a little quick cut and I just requires a little quick cut and I just requires a little quick cut and I don't want to create a whole Da Vinci don't want to create a whole Da Vinci don't want to create a whole Da Vinci resolve project for resolve project for resolve project for uh Caden live is a really good go-to uh Caden live is a really good go-to uh Caden live is a really good go-to whether trying to cut out a little chunk whether trying to cut out a little chunk whether trying to cut out a little chunk of a video but Caden live is a full of a video but Caden live is a full of a video but Caden live is a full featured video editor with a ton of featured video editor with a ton of featured video editor with a ton of features pretty much any video pre like

  9. features pretty much any video pre like features pretty much any video pre like 2022 or probably pre 2023 on this 2022 or probably pre 2023 on this 2022 or probably pre 2023 on this channel were edited in Caden live mostly channel were edited in Caden live mostly channel were edited in Caden live mostly of course on Linux but again it have of course on Linux but again it have of course on Linux but again it have that option here and then from there we that option here and then from there we that option here and then from there we have I use to make every have I use to make every have I use to make every single thumbnail that you see on this single thumbnail that you see on this single thumbnail that you see on this channel it is uh the ganu image channel it is uh the ganu image channel it is uh the ganu image manipulation program this is uh a lot of manipulation program this is uh a lot of manipulation program this is uh a lot of people try to compare with people try to compare with people try to compare with Photoshop it's really you you can't make Photoshop it's really you you can't make Photoshop it's really you you can't make that comparison has a lot of the same uh that comparison has a lot of the same uh that comparison has a lot of the same uh functionalities you could get a lot of functionalities you could get a lot of functionalities you could get a lot of the same results but when it comes to a the same results but when it comes to a the same results but when it comes to a one toone trying to convince people to one toone trying to convince people to one toone trying to convince people to switch from Photoshop to that's not switch from Photoshop to that's not switch from Photoshop to that's not going to happen it's missing a lot of going to happen it's missing a lot of going to happen it's missing a lot of like especially a lot of the new AI like especially a lot of the new AI like especially a lot of the new AI features you're not going to get any of features you're not going to get any of features you're not going to get any of that out again Photoshop is so much that out again Photoshop is so much that out again Photoshop is so much better with like background removal better with like background removal better with like background removal working with colors but you just scroll working with colors but you just scroll working with colors but you just scroll through my channel everything you see through my channel everything you see through my channel everything you see there was done in so you can get there was done in so you can get there was done in so you can get pretty decent results from this pretty decent results from this pretty decent results from this application and then audacity I have application and then audacity I have application and then audacity I have used used to use this with every single used used to use this with every single used used to use this with every single video I've ever made I started using it video I've ever made I started using it video I've ever made I started using it a lot less as I've learned to use the a lot less as I've learned to use the a lot less as I've learned to use the kind of fairlight audio tools with in D kind of fairlight audio tools with in D kind of fairlight audio tools with in D Vin resolve but this is nice for uh Vin resolve but this is nice for uh Vin resolve but this is nice for uh quick edits Cuts changing the volume quick edits Cuts changing the volume quick edits Cuts changing the volume level there are filters to go ahead and level there are filters to go ahead and level there are filters to go ahead and actually remove background noise and actually remove background noise and actually remove background noise and there are a huge Suite of various there are a huge Suite of various there are a huge Suite of various plugins that you could get to uh really plugins that you could get to uh really plugins that you could get to uh really do anything you want this is one of the do anything you want this is one of the do anything you want this is one of the best little audio editors that you could best little audio editors that you could best little audio editors that you could get for just about anybody whether if get for just about anybody whether if get for just about anybody whether if you're doing like little video you're doing like little video you're doing like little video production projects like me or if you're production projects like me or if you're production projects like me or if you're an actual audio engineer chances are an actual audio engineer chances are an actual audio engineer chances are you've used this and you've gotten some

  10. you've used this and you've gotten some you've used this and you've gotten some pretty good benefit from it now my pretty good benefit from it now my pretty good benefit from it now my primary use case for it is if I ever primary use case for it is if I ever primary use case for it is if I ever accidentally record in a single Channel accidentally record in a single Channel accidentally record in a single Channel I drop it in here and actually make it I drop it in here and actually make it I drop it in here and actually make it so it's a mono instead of a single like so it's a mono instead of a single like so it's a mono instead of a single like left stereo Channel but I do find myself left stereo Channel but I do find myself left stereo Channel but I do find myself uh making that m take less and less as uh making that m take less and less as uh making that m take less and less as time goes on then we have notepad Plus+ time goes on then we have notepad Plus+ time goes on then we have notepad Plus+ already covered that I do have the real already covered that I do have the real already covered that I do have the real link app right here I just did a video link app right here I just did a video link app right here I just did a video on real link cameras they are awesome on real link cameras they are awesome on real link cameras they are awesome but I'm going to use that app less and but I'm going to use that app less and but I'm going to use that app less and less as I get my uh freegate setup up less as I get my uh freegate setup up less as I get my uh freegate setup up and going which is a self-hosted NVR and going which is a self-hosted NVR and going which is a self-hosted NVR with a bunch of really cool Ai and with a bunch of really cool Ai and with a bunch of really cool Ai and detection features I'm excited to get detection features I'm excited to get detection features I'm excited to get that going and then really other than that going and then really other than that going and then really other than that there's not a lot going on I do use that there's not a lot going on I do use that there's not a lot going on I do use the display link manager because my doc the display link manager because my doc the display link manager because my doc ear trumpet that is one that is pretty ear trumpet that is one that is pretty ear trumpet that is one that is pretty cool if I click this is just normal cool if I click this is just normal cool if I click this is just normal audio but if I go over here and want to audio but if I go over here and want to audio but if I go over here and want to actually edit the Buy application audio actually edit the Buy application audio actually edit the Buy application audio that is what ear trumpet allows us to do that is what ear trumpet allows us to do that is what ear trumpet allows us to do oh additionally I do have Libre office oh additionally I do have Libre office oh additionally I do have Libre office on here I only recently added this on here I only recently added this on here I only recently added this because for the most part I use nexcloud because for the most part I use nexcloud because for the most part I use nexcloud with any uh uh documents uh spreadsheets with any uh uh documents uh spreadsheets with any uh uh documents uh spreadsheets things like that but just opening things like that but just opening things like that but just opening something up on my desktop real quick something up on my desktop real quick something up on my desktop real quick it's a great thing to have just it's a great thing to have just it's a great thing to have just available for you the icons have gotten available for you the icons have gotten available for you the icons have gotten a lot prettier over the years but the a lot prettier over the years but the a lot prettier over the years but the application itself still still kind of application itself still still kind of application itself still still kind of feels like Microsoft Office like 2003 a feels like Microsoft Office like 2003 a feels like Microsoft Office like 2003 a lot of the UI are just these buttons lot of the UI are just these buttons lot of the UI are just these buttons it's not exactly one to one but it's it's not exactly one to one but it's it's not exactly one to one but it's basically 100% compatible with basically basically 100% compatible with basically basically 100% compatible with basically anything you'd want to do in like anything you'd want to do in like anything you'd want to do in like Microsoft Word or any of the other
