Hey DT. Rare commenter and Vivaldi user here. I disliked Vivaldis proprietary aspects since switching to linux. However, two features that are super important to me is a vertical tab layout, instead of the usual horizontal one, and tab stacking. Tried out Firefox (The browser of my childhood) and some forks, but vertical tabs are only available via extensions, that never worked well for me and are kinda janky to properly set up. Then I tried Falkon for a few months, before returning to Vivaldi for similar reasons.
However, this video gave me a push to look again and I'm now trying out Pale Moon. Enjoying it so far, the first vertical tab extension I tried seems really great, and stacking is even better than in Vivaldi. It uses my gtk theme, has quite a few extensions... Might switch for good this time. Thank you for giving me that push I needed to keep looking!

I'm just going to point out, if you use the MP4 video format you're using a proprietary format (I believe it's owned by the motion picture group still). Most opensource editors use the MP4 codec for export and OBS also can use that format (through FFMPEG). There are open, but they aren't guaranteed to be supported by video platforms.
But Honest I'm one of those people who doesn't care about using 100% free and open source software. It's almost impossible to use 100% free and open source software anyway, especially with laptops where most of the wifi drivers are proprietary and won't work without their proprietary drivers (especially Broadcom's wifi cards). Also if you want NVIDA cards then you have to use their proprietary drivers to do anything useful with the graphics card (other than displaying the desktop).

Hey, DT, about 3 years ago you talked about the state of the Unity Desktop (right when Ubuntu ditched it) after you encountered a very small sourceforge experiment with Ubuntu 18.04 + Unity. There you said that the community would make a remix and continue the project.
You were right! If you can, check out the Ubuntu Unity Remix, their 20.04.4 version is the most polished one.
They are growing a lot in a very short time, new website, forum, consistent release schedule, quite impressive.

DT! The reason I'm willing to give Vivaldi a pass is because a skin can't be used as spyware. You can't insert telemetry or surveillance into a bunch of PNG files. The difference between Vivaldi and Chrome or Edge is that the companies behind those two are shady and they use shady tactics. I like free and open source because it gives me a peace of mind as it relates to my privacy and security. So if the only proprietary component is the skin, I'm still gonna consider it FOSS.

I'm ashamed to admit that I have installed on my Mint drive Microsoft teams, purely because this is the only conference software my company uses when they need to speak face to face. It does bother me, but the only other option would be to boot into my never used Windows drive. I give myself a pass for this, as this is purely necessity.

dt, on the subject of teaching, would you ever be willing to do an in-depth walkthrough of docker? you've done some docker-related videos in the past, but i mean a more detailed overview of what docker is, what it's used for, and how to use it for your own projects? love the vids, thanks!

8:04 hey DT! maybe its time for hiring people and expanding the business
you could make a tier for pateron or some option where people pay for support, and then you could hire one or two people for supporting, then you could make your own xmonad iso and ask community to contribute to it

I would say: allow reading customized configs from -/.config/ but have default configs in /etc/. That way, even though Arch doesn-t let you put stuff in the home directory on install, the user can essentially manually override the default configs if desired.

doesn't like every linux distro have closed source components and trademarked images? By this argument, I am pretty sure you have never mainlined an open source OS, tho you may have installed a few on virtual managers.
