• 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?

  We talk about how we work and if we make things harder than they should be. We ask if using many tools, monitors, and configs really helps or just makes life more complex. We talk about macOS, Linux, Omarchy, Nix, and window managers. Everyone shares how they set up their system and what they think is best. It is a long talk with many ideas, jokes, and real thoughts about how people use computers today.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/uA8lWjEWEmYWhat'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 - Highlights00:02:32 - Do we over engineer our workflow, should we be like René Rebe?00:07:42 - Vimothée joined us, so we're not alone00:09:29 - Topics we're covering00:10:28 - Who is @tony-btw00:11:36 - Who is @henrymisc00:13:50 - Single or multiple monitors?00:19:03 - ThePrimeagen workflow00:20:31 - Are ultrawide monitors a waste of money and time?00:26:21 - Demo how I use spaces in macOS00:28:07 - Demo tony space configuration00:29:42 - Why not multiple apps on the screen so you can be a 10X dev?00:30:23 - The web development lie, you need tiles or multiple monitors00:30:48 - nappy nappy time00:36:16 - Is it bad to get used to work with multiple monitors?00:39:51 - What about a keyboard cetric workflow00:43:54 - Mouseless workflo?00:45:34 - Scrolling window manager, niri, bloat?00:52:23 - Omarchy thoughs, Henry00:54:59 - Omarchy and Tony00:59:31 - What would you recommend to someone just starting?01:09:19 - Real tony's thoughts on Omarchy01:16:51 - Hendrik, are you switching to Linux?01:19:21 - What would you say to a macOS user Tony?01:22:31 - Thoughts on Raycast01:25:24 - Joshua Blais joining01:32:09 - Joshua Blais thought's on voldemort's OS01:40:40 - Reading super chat by GenX01:43:53 - Goodbye Henry01:46:39 - I need help to fight these 2 FOSS lunatics01:51:26 - macOS with yabai and SIP01:54:11 - Home folder and finder01:59:08 - Thoughts on Nix02:02:18 - Has nix broken for you guys?02:03:21 - Is nix an OS, what is home manager?02:05:20 - Which shell do you guys use?02:09:13 - Josh thoughts on multiple monitors, tiles, ultra wides02:10:20 - Tony thoughts on Emacs02:12:35 - What's the best way to start with emacs?02:15:01 - Final words02:16:47 - Stream setup and initial conversation
