I haven't really messed with it that much.
C
56:14Chris TitusHOST
Thunar, let's test it.
C
56:18Chris TitusHOST
That is not working.
C
56:21Chris TitusHOST
Apparently I'm missing Thunar.
C
56:25Chris TitusHOST

The Desktop I Wanted Didn't Exist... So I Built It

you'd be like man that sure is nice a lot of other distros forget to set a lot of like gtk and qt uh very variable so you don't have uniform appearance matching frankly the hardest part of setting all this up was the appearance matching between sudo user and all of it so trying to get that universal has been um something i've been chasing for about a last month File managers using Thunar, that's the XFCE file manager.
C
13:29Chris TitusHOST
I did not roll my own file manager.
C
13:32Chris TitusHOST
File access and shares, if you're using SMB, those types of things.
C
13:36Chris TitusHOST
GVFS, so you can see that in Thunar.
C
13:38Chris TitusHOST

Episode 246: GUI vs Terminal
M
16:36MattHOST
Not necessarily easier, more efficient in the terminal, right? It's, it's, it, it...
M
16:41MattHOST
It's not like you can't do something r- a lot like file management really easy in, like, Thunar.
M
16:45MattHOST
You can, right? But it's more efficient to do a lot of things in the terminal simply because of the ease of repetition and automation.
M
16:52MattHOST
Like, you can, you can do a lot of things.

30:13MattHOST
And my other one is there's, it's a lot harder to automate something in a, in a GUI.
M
30:17MattHOST
Usually you have to do very repetitive tasks.
M
30:19MattHOST
So just, just for example, if you're deleting a lot of files in, say, Thunar, and they're all over the place, you have your hand on the mouse all the time.
M
30:28MattHOST
You can click, right click one, click delete, confirm.

So super F is Thunar, super E is Genie, super B is Firefox, and that's all you need to know, okay? Although I do have super O, which is OBS, and super G, which is GIMP.
D
4:56DrewHOST
But other than that, I, you know, that's, that's kind of, I mean, I use like, okay, that's six key binds and that's really all I need.
M
5:05MattHOST
Drew, do you have key bindings to pause your recording for when you're doing a video so that you have breaks?
