This was a comment from another video I left:
Ideology is ridiculous to worry about with software. I don't care what CEOs say, I care about the actual product. If you really want to get into the discussion of CEOs, maybe you should look into what the Brandon Eich's ideology (he is anti-gay marriage) is, or the ideology of any software dev or maintainer. But it doesn't fit your narrative. It's best to just tune that crap out from people like them. Far right extremism isn't better than far left extremism.
IMO Brave, Chrome, Chromium, etc is all lacking in the final product. Hardened Firefox is arguably more secure than Brave could hope to be. How about Multi-Account Containers? Where is the css and javascript customization in Brave?
Nothing is wrong with Brave or enjoying using it, but it's silly to forge a self identification with software, like people do for sports teams or music artists.

I bet somehow you can write a shell script do put all the Commands showed in this video into a nice little Dmenu prompt. Wasn't there this one line text editor called Ed?
I'm not really skilled in scripting at all but somebody who is more familiar with all these cli-utils can surely write a decent script to change the themes on the fly :D
Thanks for sharing this. I wantet something litke that for the st terminal but I gave up since the Xresources patch messed up my keybindings... Guess the #import line in the dmenu file works in st as well?
Until next time, Derek! Have a nice day!

I love linux and specially the fact that how unique its is from something like windows and macos but I am in grade 12 (India) and I really don't have any time to setup everything from scratch like in arch. Yes there are distros like ubuntu and manjaro but then my dependence on software like ms teams and office suite comes into play. Teams for linux is like 3-4 years older than the version of windows. But I do love linux a alot and I use ubuntu with i3 in a vm for my git and c stuff.

Hey DT! You can totally set colors for dmenu without recompiling.
# from my i3 config
bindsym $mod+d exec dmenu_run -nb '#111111' -nf '#a2b49d' -fn 'source code pro-13'
Makes for nice color coding your contexts, i.e from your shutdown script change it to:
choice=$(printf '%s\n' -$-options[-]-- - dmenu -i -p 'Shutdown menu:' -sb '#FF0000')
for a solid red selected background color.

Don't delete config.h, that's where your config changed should go. Make sources config.h ahead of config.def.h and will only create a config.h file if it doesn't already exist. Make will NOT write over the config.h file if it already exists upon compilation, config.def.h is supposed to be the unmodified default file. The -def- stands for default.

Well, Dunno if its because I'm quite stoned right now, but:
A - In order to have a minimal OS you need less bloat
B - So to have less bloat you use a WM
C - In order to customize my WM you bloat your config files
Nice project though... Really like your content and as far as now I'm quite a recurrent viewer.

Hey DT, I have been finding your videos really interesting as I recently switched to linux. The more I learn, the more curious I get. But for some reason I am hesitating on trying to stop using a full desktop environment and switching to a window manager. Any advice on that subject?

Hi DT, big fan here. For the last week or so I have actually been working on a dm-script (DT inspired) that switches the color scheme of all the programs I have in one go. Thanks for this as it would be very helpful to add your color schemes configs to mine as I only have 2 for now.

Wouldn't pywal be simpler so u can also use the wallpaper to generate theme also there many pre made and you can safe some in a json. But the biggest thing for pywal is the infastruture to change the theme of programs

Wouldn't it be easier if you made separate files for each color scheme for alacritty and then imported them into the alacritty config ? Then all people would have to do is uncomment that file from the alacritty config.
