Sylvan Franklin: Looks Like a 12 Year Old, but Already has Peach Fuzz

This is the 2nd time (or third time, would be forth but he no showed no called me once, MF) that Vimothée Chalamet AKA @sylvanfranklin shows up in my channel. In the last interview we discussed about Neovim, drugs (including Adderall), and many other topics. But it seems that as of Q4 2025 he's going for the kefir, kombucha, yoga pants, breathing techniques, pachamama and on his way to become a zen monk. Or maybe not. Let's see what he's up to because he changes his mind every couple of months.Video:https://youtube.com/live/vLfaiRHT6boWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enough

4 Linux Queens vs 1 MacOS Virgin

Stability wisdom and a peaceful life, or bleeding edge? Some say Debian is a legacy distro with legacy packages, some say Arch gives them nightmares.

Kovid Goyal: Linux, Window Managers, and GitHub Controversies

Kovid Goyal is the creator of the Kitty terminal and the Calibre e-book reader. We had an interview around 4 months ago. After that interview, I became a fan of the myth, the legend. So much so that I switched back from Ghostty to Kitty as my main terminal. Well, not just because, but because he implemented a feature I was missing in Ghostty: Sessions. So I was able to replace my beloved tmux with kitty and I've been running without tmux for a few months now, it's been good.Video:https://youtu.be/SY8L-cj4x6kWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:02:31 - 2nd time00:03:24 - choose-files kitten image and video preview demo00:07:30 - Does it replace the open file dialogue on macOS or just Linux?00:09:13 - Why do you create all these protocols and tools?00:10:34 - The itch of improving your workflow.

The Workflow Debate: Are We All Doing Too Much?

In this lively discussion, Tony (Linux educator), Henry Misk (workflow engineer), and Joshua Blais (Emacs expert) dive into the complexities of modern work setups. They debate whether multiple screens enhance productivity or complicate workflows, and ponder the merits of ultrawide monitors. The trio shares tips on keyboard-centric workflows and tools like Nix for reproducible environments. Finally, they challenge the notion of over-engineering tools and emphasize the importance of simplicity and practicality in tech.

Asking tony: Is NixOS Just Hype? (2077 Edition)

There's a community of 8 users, that are very persistent, and always trying to get you to install NixOS. They swear by it and say it's the best thing ever happened after the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. @tony-btw is one of those users, and he will share about NixOS with us, so we can see if it's just hype, or if we should give it a try.
